Except for 2022, revenues and earnings were generally flat. Little growth seen.
Company is profitable, generating good earnings that translate into good free cash flow.
Most earnings were retained within the company. The dividends distributed remained paltry (DPO was around 20%).

@Integrity, do you agree that as a general rule in investing, risks and returns are inversely related, the basis of the Capital Asset Pricing Model? So if you want low risks and high returns at the same time, how many can achieve that? If you hold a significant of the portfolio in cash, which barely covers management fee, the rest of the portfolio will need to outperform the market in order to achieve an overall market beating performance. This is the odds iCap is facing. If you fight with one hand tied behind your back, your other hand needs to be twice as good as your opponent just to make up for the handicap

>>>>>


For iCap, I will prefer it should hold no more than 25% in cash most of the time, but ttb is free to asset allocate for now.

It is far better for Tan Teng Boo and the Board of iCAP to concentrate on investment performance than to worry too much over how to shrink the discount to the NAV of the fund which they have some or little control over.

Buy and hold is safe for selected stocks. Today, the price of PBB is even higher. Add in the dividends, the returns have been good.

Stock

2022-12-18 20:10 | Report Abuse

I have owned PBB for a long time and have had added this stock on regular intervals. In 2008, during the global financial crisis, PBB which was around RM14 - RM16 per share, dropped to about RM 7 or 8 per share.

How did you handle your portfolio of stocks during this crisis? By the time, the challenge from Moolah came, I think the price of PBB was around RM 12, having dropped from $ high of RM 16. Did you sell and then plan to buy back later, at even lower prices?

Anyway, this time capsule proved one simple point. For selected stocks, you may not even have to sell. Given the long time horizon of holding this fantastic company, the continuing holding onto this stock and adding at opportunistic times remain a good strategy. The returns can be volatile for any stock in the short term, but in the long term, these drops remain blips in the long term price chart that continues to uptrend for a long term.

For every 5 stocks you own, expect one to underperform (perhaps, you should sell), three to do as you projected and one to overperform (the one that makes you very rich. The gains from the overperformer exceeds the losses from by many folds.

Market price of iCap today is 1.99 per share
NAV of iCap today is 3.33 per share

Two dividends were declared over the lifetime of this fund to-date: namely 9.5 sen (2013) and 30 sen (2021), totalling 39.5 sen.


Based on market price, icap has returned 2.385 (=1.99 + 0.395). The CAGR for my nieve though positive, was not great; perhaps equalled FD rates, maybe even lower than FD rates.

Based on NAV price, icap has returned 3.725 (3.33 + 0.395), My niece would have a reasonable CAGR of about 2x FD rates. Not fantastic either, but she is not going to be "rich".

My returns will be better than my niece but still short of my initial hope and expectations. It is probably half of my initial expectations of 15% per year. That was the figure many initial investors had benchmark for this icap closed end fund. At 15% per year, the fund should have doubled every 5 years, namely, $1.00 initial NAV to $2 (5th year), then to $4 (10th year) and $8.00 (15th year).

The biggest winner to-date is of course the manager who managed this fund; as is also usually the case in many managed funds. Managers of fund should focus on only one parameter in fund management, that is, singularly focussing on growing the ABSOLUTE RETURN over time of its portfolio without taking excessive risks or even better at low risks.

An issue that will have to be decided by the partners or business owners of icap closed end fund in 2025 is whether to continue or to liquidate the fund.

As this date approaches, we will definitely see two differing voices on this issue.

icap closed end fund started in 2005. After 20 years of existence, how many of the initial investors are still holding their stocks? I am among one of these investors at its initiation. In fact, I added more subsequently and am enjoying gains overall.

Those asking for liquidation will definitely be very strong too, as the motivation to cash out at the NAV (thus closing the discount gap) will be a huge incentive for many of them.

From The Essays of Warren Buffett: “In Theory of Investment Value, written over 50 years ago, John Burr Williams set forth the equation for value, which we condense here: The value of any stock, bond or business today is determined by the cash inflows and outflows—discounted at an appropriate interest rate—that can be expected to occur during the lifetime of the asset.”

Insas reported having cash of RM 1,163 million (1.163 billion) in 2022.
It also reported non-operating interest income of RM 11.514 million for the same period.

11.514/1,163 = 0.99%.

In 2022, it reported total debts of RM 248 m (ST Debt) + RM 162 m (LT Debt) =RM 410m
In the same period, it incurred interest expense of RM16.188 m.

16.188 m / 410 m = 3.948%


Can SS Lee be kind to elaborate on the above?

A company maybe priced very low relative to its book value for various reasons. Perhaps, the market has priced this stock wrongly, thus it is extremely undervalued.
OTOH, the market may have priced it correctly due to various risks not obvious or highlighted.
Be careful, when the price of a company is low, all the valuation parameters, eg. P/E, P/NAV and DY look very enticing. Still need to understand a lot more why it is priced like it is today. It had been priced likeso for a long time too.

The revenues and PBT for Nestle for 2022 should be better than for 2021.
Still a great company with very strong economic moat.
Generating huge free cash flows which were almost all distributed as dividends annually.
Continues to grow at high single digit growth rate. Require very little capex, all organically, to grow.


If you have owned this company for many years, you know how rewarding this has been and still is.

Is it not true, that the really big fortunes from common stocks have been garnered by those:

- who made a substantial commitment in the early years of a company in whose future they had great confidence and

- who held their original shares unwaveringly while they increased 10-fold or 100-fold or more in value?

The answer is "Yes."

Some who are regular posters here still cannot accept differing views.
Look back at my posts in TSH.

My intention is participation. If someone highlighted how wonderful a stock is, I do not accept the opinion without some personal research. It was obvious I did some fundamental analysis of this company. I shared these here. These are facts. I offered some opinions, my own, based on these datas and facts.

As night follows day, instead of focussing on facts and offering their reasonings or otherwise, the unhealthy discourse like the past recurs.

I have absolutely little interest in such discourse, other than intelligent discussions with people who are honest and truthful in sharing.

In investing, one faces some uncertainties. Through diligence and hardwork, and with the right investing knowledge, you can reduce these uncertainties and hope for better upsides compared to downsides in your stock selection. Price volatility is always present. However, for those with a long term view of the businesses they are investing into, a lot of the uncertainties are removed, provided they have the right attitude. Investing is most intelligent when it is business-like.

My 2 years discourse on Netx with calvin. All of you know the outcome today. Despite warning calvin for 2 years, he chose to continue with his promotions. If only he even open his heart, he would have realised many of the posts (if not ALL) that I shared in Netx turned out to be true. Surprisingly, or not surprisingly,, almost all I shared turned out as I predicted/suspected.

A fool and his money soon go separate ways.

A few years ago, my friend asked me for a stock recommendation. She had never made any money in her stock investments, always losing money. She bought Padini at 1.60 after I explained this company to her. In the early few months, she monitored the prices frequently (not a good behaviour in long term investing). At times, she saw the price was below her buying price. Now, she is happy knowing she has made 100% gain in this investment, not including the dividends received. She occasionally lamented she wished she had bought more. :-)

DLady is a rather interesting company in my portfolio. At $64 per share at its peak, it was a 40 bagger in my portfolio. If you were to consider its past dividends too, it was a great investment indeed. Its price has since dropped by slightly 50% and its dividends have shrunk in the last 2 years.

What lessons can you derive from DLady? I am still holding this stock in my portfolio and will continue to hold this stock. The balance sheet of this company is strong. Its capital expenditure up to 2025 will be substantial. The drop in its dividends has to be interpreted as the company allocating its cash flow into capex. It remains cash rich and debt free. As for its future business, the management has proven itself for many years to date; be confident that it will still be able to deliver good results in the future.

It is not uncommon to see a stock price up 50% and down its equivalent one-third in a year. Those who are long term investors would have experienced drops of 50% or even more in their counters; only to see them being multi-baggers many years later.

I also am holding another stock for the last 20 years or so. It was bought at price RM X. My friend did the same. The price soon dropped 50% to RM 0.5X,, for various reasons, either market related or company related news. I bought more during its drop and continued doing so. Those unfamiliar with this way of buying will feel extremely uncomfortable. A few months later, its price crept up to RM2X. My friend sold all his stocks and was happy making 100% on this counter. I continue to hold this stock until today. Its prices had shown steady upward and downward swings over short period: at one time had also dropped by 50% too. Though its price is still off its past peak price, its present price is a 10 bagger from my average price to date. If you were to include the dividends received yearly, this has turned out to be a fantastic very good return indeed. Those who are not long term in their investments maybe will not experience too many of these returns.

My 18 points guide to Successfully compounding your money in Stocks

1. Be a good stock picker.
2. Think as a business owner.
3. Always look at value rather than the price. Do the homework.
4. Buy and hold is alright for selected stocks.
5. Compounding is your friend, get this to work the magic for you.
6. Mr. Market is there to be taken advantage of. Do not be the sucker instead. BFS;STS.
7. Always buy a lot when the price is low. Doing so locks in a higher potential return and minimise the potential loss. But then, if you have confidence in your stock picking, you would have picked a winner - it is only how much return it will deliver over time.
8. Never buy when the stock is overpriced. Not observing this rule will result in loss in your investing. This strategy is critical as it protects against loss.
9. It is alright to buy when the selected stock is at a fair price.
10. Phasing in or dollar cost averaging is safe for such stocks during a downtrend, unless the the price is still obviously too high.
11. Do not time the market for such or any stocks. Timing can increase returns and similarly harms the returns from your investment. It is impossible to predict the short term volatility of the stock, therefore, it is better to bet on the long-term business prospect of the company which is more predictable.
12. By keeping to the above strategy, the returns will be delivered through the growth of the company's business.
13. So, when do you sell the stock? Almost never, as long as the fundamentals remain sound and the future prospects intact.
14. The downside risk is protected through only buying when the price is low or fairly priced. Therefore, when the price is trending downwards and when it is obviously below intrinsic value, do not harm your portfolio by selling to "protect your gains" or "to minimise your loss." Instead, you should be brave and courageous (this can be very difficult for those not properly wired) to add more to your portfolio through dollar cost averaging or phasing in your new purchases. This strategy is very safe for selected high quality stocks as long as you are confident and know your valuation. It has the same effect of averaging down the cost of your purchase price. However, unlike selling your shares to do so, buying more below intrinsic value ensures that your money will always be invested to capture the long term returns offered by the business of the selected stock.
15. Tactical dynamic asset allocation or rebalancing based on valuation can be employed but this sounds easier than is practical, except in extreme market situations. Tactical dynamic asset allocation or rebalancing involves selling at the right price and buying at the right price based on valuation. Assuming you can get your buying and your selling correct 80% of the time;, to get both of them right for a profitable transaction is only slightly better than chance (80% x 80% = 64%). Except for the extremes of the market, for most (perhaps, almost all of the time), for such stocks, it is better to stay invested (buy, hold, accumulate more) for the long haul.
16. Sell urgently when the company business fundamental has deteriorated irreversibly. (Reminder: Transmile)
17. You may also wish to sell should the growth of the company has obviously slowed and you can reinvest into another company with greater growth potential of similar quality. However, unlike point 14, you can do so leisurely.
18. In conclusion, a critical key to successful investing is in your stock picking ability. To be able to do so, you will need to acquire the following skills:
To formulate an investing philosophy and strategy suitable for your investing time horizon, risk tolerance profile and investment objectives.
The knowledge to value the business of the company.
The discipline to always focus on value.
The willingness to do your homework diligently.
A good grasp of behavioural finance to understand your internal and external responses to the price fluctuations of the stock in the stock market.
A good rational thinking regarding the risks (dangers) and rewards (opportunities) generated by the price fluctuations of the stock in the stock market.


Is it not true, that the really big fortunes from common stocks have been garnered by those
who made a substantial commitment in the early years of a company in whose future they had great confidence and
who held their original shares unwaveringly while they increased 10-fold or 100-fold or more in value?

The answer is "Yes."
