FGVH listing is a marketing (publicity) strategy for the BN to lock in the Felda settlers votes. the Felda (Risda) votes has an effect on at least 50-60 parliament seats (out of 222 seats). this block of votes is substantial to tilt any balance (shift) in power. PR is also working very hard to gain (part) of the voters share.

Felda/Risda was previously under the Ministry of Agriculture portfolio. but knowing their importance, now (Felda/Risda) is both under the PM Department. BN understand the importance of securing this block of voters. politics far out weight under business considerations

my personal opinion - is dont trade if the market conditions is unfavourable. trade only if the sentiment is good. rather hold the stocks during good times rather than choppy (bad) times. we won't know things can be better or not. this is the risk you need to take (assess).

it's always good to know how the market might react to certain circumstances. it's never hurt to acquire knowledge but do not put all the eggs in one basket. the market is always full of surprises. happy trading

good for FGVH if Louis Drreyfus is tie up as an strategic partner. but-but Felda is already tie up with Cargill in Malaysia. unlikely Louis Dreyfus ia agreeable to this arrangement

rsawit trading sideways. needs time to digest & moved on to next level. consolidating at 1.08-1.10. next target price ? $ 1.15-1.20

OTK is Ex-MCA president. Ask yourself any good reason for him to join the oppostion now. Look at Chua Jui Meng. Neither here or there in PKR Johor. Personally i dont think OTK will join PKR or DAP. He stands to lose more than he gain.

in politics, there is no right or wrong decision. it's matter of balancing (compromise) between the majority and the minority. a good politician will always work for the next elections. a good statesmen will work for the next generation.

market is oversold but the million dollar question on everybody mind is the impending GE13. Bersih 3 is on tomorrow. play safe stay out of the market. nobody knows what will happen or what can happen?

rubber glove producers - profit margin is based on the raw materials cost (40%) & cheap natural gas (12%). any incremental cost ( additional/lower)will affect their bottom line.labour cost per line will depend on their efficency and scale of operations. location is also important . Thailand cost of production is lower.

KLCI support is weakening except for the index linked counters.Foreign Funds were net Buyers for the past 15-21 days. Spain & latest Denmark affected by the on going instability. Sell in May may come true if China again showed negative (marginal) growth in the latest quarter.

Best (side-line) and wait for opportunity before fishing in the troubled waters.RHP Cap still uncertain on their merger with OSK. MAS bleding. ETP uninspiring and with GE-13 dates pending. Your guess is as good as mine. Cautious is the key in this uncertain times.

look hard at the calender. GE13 is coming.Parliament needs to dissolve and BN needs to fine tune its machinery. 21 days notice (minimum) for the EC to issue notification. can it be June 11 ( a monday) ?

looks like Foreign Buyers are more positive on our local market. Nett buyers for the last 16-21 days. waiting for GE -13 to lock in their investment.

canone - start moving up. strong possibilities of the Block of kian joo shares finally transfer to Can-one. With the kian joo shares in their bag they can finally account for their profit in Kian Joo and Boxpax (pro-rata) for the last financial(2011) year.

canone.... maybe this round they got it right. kian joo is their price jewel. after federal court cannot appeal anymore. share registrar just want to cover a---hole

what happen to RHB Cap. shares not moving

remember 2012 is an election year in the US (and in Malaysia) Obama (Najib) will do everything to win. Fiscal policy will be very accomodating. enjoy the ride while the going is good

cheers

Boustead holdins is one of the underrated counters. potential earnings derived from the PV orders(BHIC/BNS). strong catalyst growth from their land development plus LTAT backing.

jokes aside. GE13 will affect the politicians. the man in the street after casting their votes still need to work and earn their livings. post elections result ( just like Lehman, Baring Bros, EU debt crisis) will have a direct bearing on the market. life still go on ( after the election)

post GE13 ?
1. who wins the GE 13 ( BN or PR ). bad for the market if a hung parliament

2. poll result not important but who forms the Federal & State govt will impact the market

3.New policies ( Good or Bad ) will hit the market

4. FDI & funds will take profit and stay sideline before election

5. External factors will also have impact on the market direction

FDI is parking their funds in Malaysia temp to take advantage of our stable Ringgit and partly because of the unstable situation in Thailand and Indonesia.

the coming GE13 is another underlying news flow that might push the market higher. funds money are motivated by dollar and cents not our malaysia GDP.

KLSE top 50 counters mainly supported by PNB, Khazanah,EPF, LTAT, TH and other domestic funds (unit trust,insurance, banking invsetment)

make the money while the going is good but remember the old saying " sell in may and go away ( summer holiday ) " in June

I beg to differ. market showed signs of fatigue. market needs a boaster (a play maker) to take the index higher. 1590-1600 seems
a mental barrier (blocking) the market. we need more solid (blue chip) counters to sustain the upward momentum not the penny stocks. this is my personal viewpoint
