REUTERS - Wall Street opened higher on Friday after data showed U.S. employment growth slowed more than expected in August, which could rule out an interest rate increase this month.

The Labor Department's monthly jobs report showed nonfarm payrolls rose by 151,000 last month, while the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.9 percent.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast payrolls rising 180,000 last month.\

Dear brother ICON8888, can you kindly please go back to AIRASIA and write a blog of the minimum effect of ZIKA virus on AIRASIA.

Operator closed today's trading at 2.94, from a low of 2.88. Later tonight at 8.30 pm, we shall see US job data report. Hope it is a so-so job data. Zika is a very temporary effect.

Life can go on as usual.

No, Poker. It is Zika virus. It is only a temporary effect. If you have holding power and not fearful for a day or two, you better hold.

From CIMB report, the special dividend is 94 sen.

Nice to have hng33 back with us by bringing positive spirit to this forum. Mixing with positive people will calm our mind to have positive momentum.

James Gunn: 8wpwtmt8 , 3-day rally only. Last year, I saw Topglove jump from RM4.15 to RM8 during the Ebola outbreak.
01/09/2016 21:01
========================================================================

The rise from RM4.50 to RM8.++ was not due to Ebola. It was due to stong dollar/weak ringgit and cheap raw materials.

The Ebola one, Topglove only rose from RM4.50 to RM4.80 only, after that the rally fizzled out.

Anyway, final decision is yours.

James Gunn: Renegade Master, Zika does more damage than dengue. A woman who has Zika virus cannot be impregnated until her immune system kill all the Zika virus. Zika virus can wipe out the people in a country. I am researching is there any increase in medical glove usage during Zika virus. I need a doctor to tell me because I am targeting medical company like Topglove and Harta.
01/09/2016 17:56
=======================================================================

I think the rise in Topglove and Harta will be shortlived, just like Ebola last time, only 3-day rally.

Airasia is game over. Should change counter.
Bye bye.

I think AirAsia is just played half time. Still got second half dealing with its leasing company sales.

威威, two weeks time means 19 September, after the one week school holiday. I also think like this.

CIMB BANK TP RM4.15. Got to wait until a buyer is named for the leasing company sales and a special dividend is declared. Patience will be greatly rewarded.

Second session might provide good bargain hunting opportunity.

Dear Iwanreply: BB means Big Boys. FF means Foreign Funds.

Such a big capital stock like AirAsia needs BB and FF to accumulate and push to greater heights.

RHB Research TP 3.60. Rating: Buy

Yesterday I also join into the bandwagon with purchase of C36 (the cheapest of all call warrants with the highest volume transacted). I will hold tightly until expiry in December 2016.

Well said Loocar. Just hold tightly to your shares. As long as you don't sell when they are not in profit, it will be alright.

http://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/kenangaresearch/102209.jsp
Kenanga TP 3.41 is the most appropriate. Of course patience and faith are needed.

Yes 威威, this drop is to flush out contra players and weak holders.

Just hold and have patience. We will be rewarded by December 2016.

AirAsia said the fair value of the company's stock should be at least 6 ringgit a share after including the market value of AirAsia, AAC and stakes in other businesses such as its long-haul affiliate AirAxia X Bhd and loyalty programme joint venture.

KUALA LUMPUR: SapuraKencana Petroleum Bhd, which achieved a total cost savings of RM500 million in the last two years through its internal transformation, is targeting to save another RM250 million this year to help it stay “positive”, said president and group chief executive officer Tan
Sri Shahril Shamsuddin. “Over the past two years, we've been focusing on taking the cost out
and creating synergies. To date, we have already saved some RM500 million in operational costs and we’re targeting to squeeze another RM250 million per year,” he told a news conference after the company's annual general meeting yesterday (27 July 2016). Shahril said the business environment remains “a bit challenging”, but the company will try “very hard to post positive results” for the financial year ending Jan 31, 2017 (FY17) . “

‘BN will call for election very soon’

KUALA LUMPUR: Former deputy prime minister Tun Musa Hitam expects Barisan Nasional (BN) to call for a general election soon, and that the new political party formed by former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and former deputy prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin may not be prepared for it.

“I think Barisan Nasional will call for an election very soon,” he said at a press conference yesterday, after launching his book entitled Frankly Speaking.

“Most of them (leaders of the new party) are experienced enough to be an effective opposition group.

“But the reality of politics may make it very difficult and challenging in view of the time factor, meaning before they can even come to agreement on the first item of the agenda, the election is already happening, which means [Prime Minister Datuk Seri] Najib [Razak] has already beaten them in terms of time,” he added.

Musa said he is sceptical whether the new party, Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), will be able to succeed, saying it would have to form a cohesive coalition with the opposition to win in the election, and that poses various problems.

He said, based on past experience, having an unanimous political stand on issues, strategies and vision for the country had been a challenge for the opposition.

“I would have to assume that if they want to be successful, they have to get together with the opposition. I’m told they have been talking to each other.

“Past experience shows that to become a cohesive force is a challenge in itself,” he added.

He said for Bersatu and the opposition to hold majority power in a parliamentary system, they need to win the election, which depends on unanimous decisions on seat allocation.

“To win the election, they must be able to allocate seats. They must be unanimous in their allocation of seats.

“Most of the time in the past, it had never worked,” he added.

Musa also said Bersatu faces challenges in winning over votes from Malay voters, who now have three choices.

However, he said, the formation of Bersatu is positive for democracy, and the impact of Bersatu can only be ascertained once the election is held.

“I like the two-party system. If there is a party strong enough to call themselves [the] opposition, I think it’s good for the country because checks and balances in the parliamentary system are essential to make the government really represent the people,” he added.

Bersatu was registered with the Registrar of Societies on Tuesday, with Dr Mahathir serving as chairman, Muhyiddin as president and Dr Mahathir’s son, Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir, as vice president.

Muhyiddin reportedly said “the party is inclusive in nature, progressive and open-minded”, with full membership open to bumiputeras, while non-bumiputeras can be associate members.

Associate members are not allowed to vote or contest for party positions, but can be appointed to key posts.

Bumiputeras include Malays, natives from Sabah and Sarawak, and Orang Asli groups.

The party was formed after Muhyiddin and Mukhriz were sacked from Umno for questioning Najib’s leadership over the 1Malaysia Development Bhd scandal, and is expected to comprise former Umno members.

Strange! Why there is no positive reaction to CIMB Research new TP of RM2.76. Last time Air Asia reacted positively to Kenanga's new TP of RM3.41 and DRBHICOM reacted positively to CIMB's new TP of RM1.50.

Please add oil (Jia You) FGV!

The shares are still 57% below their listing price in 2012, when it was the world’s third-biggest initial public offering that year, a slump the 56-year-old new CEO Zakaria Arshad says keeps him awake at night.

That means CEO Zakaria Arshad's key performance indicator is IPO price of RM4.55. I believe TP RM2.76 is just the take off value. There are more to come. GLC theme play will continue on.

Now is the best time to hold GE14
As there’s strong solidarity among Umno, BN — Ahmad Shabery
BUKIT MERTAJAM: Umno Supreme Council member Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek believes that now is the best time to hold the 14th general election (GE14) as there is strong solidarity among Umno members and Barisan Nasional (BN) component parties.
He said the solidarity among members of Umno and BN was at its peak, despite being challenged
with various issues, including the emergence of a new party formed by former Umno leaders.
According to Ahmad Shabery, Umno and BN should also make optimal use of the dissensions
which exist among the opposition leaders. “In my opinion, the next general election will be a platform to highlight the question of solidarity versus separation, in which only the party with strong party cohesion will win,” he told reporters after opening the Bukit Mertajam Umno delegates’ meeting here yesterday.
He said that the GE14 would not involve any issues, policies, ideologies or partisan sentiments,
but instead, would favour whichever team with greater solidarity. “The Sarawak state election
and parliamentary by-elections in Sungai Besar and Kuala Kangsar proved that party cohesion is an important factor to win an election. People do not really care about any policies or manifesto, because without party cohesion, how can the promises be fulfilled?” he said.
However, the agriculture and agro-based minister said this was his personal view, and the decision to hold the GE14 in the near future or otherwise was the prerogative of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
He said the formation of Parti Pribumi led by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad failed to divide Umno,
but instead, had further divided support among the opposition parties.
“We were unperturbed by the formation of Parti Pribumi by our former leaders, as Umno comprises members who are disciplined and united,” he said, adding that he was also ready to raise the matter at the next Umno Supreme Council - Bernama

FGV rise on expectations of a turnaround in its results.

Ree Kinv: Anyone knows what is the conversion ratio for C16?
19/08/2016 09:33
========================================================================
Conversion ratio is 3:1.

C16 = (2.29 - 1.95)/3 = 0.11 (plus 0.10 premium) = 0.21

C16 is good because it expires only on 09.05.2017. By that time, mother share should be around RM3.20 and C16 around 0.51.

CW = (0.60 - 0.42)/1 = 0.18 (plus roughly 0.04 premium) = 0.22.

CU = (0.46 - 0.49)/1 = -0.03 (still out of money) but closed at 0.085 on 17.06.2016 (Wednesday). Tomorrow should be in money already if AAX closed above 0.49.

Many forecast AAX can reach 0.60.

CV = (0.60 - 0.39)/1 = 0.21 (plus roughly 0.06 premium) = 0.27.

Which call warrant is better? CU, CV or CW?

DRB-Hicom injects its logistic assets (KL Airport Services Sdn Bhd and a parcel of freehold industrial land in Shah Alam), into Pos Malaysia.

DRB-HICOM - New Proton Persona Launched

If mother share can go to RM1.40, then C20 = (1.40 - 1.10)/2.5 = RM0.12 (plus roughly 0.045 premium) = RM0.165.

Give it some time. It will perform. Patience will be rewarded.

Dear fellow C20 share holders, please cooperate not to sell the stock too early. I have worked out above that it can reach a fair value of RM0.20. I chose this GLC call warrant because it is the cheapest and has a high trading volume.

If mother share reaches RM1.60, then C20 = (1.60 - 1.10)/2.5 = RM0.20.

http://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2016/08/05/cimb-research-upgrades-drb-hicom-from-hold-to-add/

CIMB gives TP RM1.60.

I am just wondering how to break the huge roadblock at 0.13 and 0.135 for C20.

C20 has been 0.125 last Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and today. I believe it will go up after lunch today.

C20 looks like laggard already compared to C19 and C21.

The last time Maybank traded below RM8.00 was in September 2011. Can it rebound this time? Hope it can.

If you check the period from 25.08.2015 to 06.11.2015, UEMS rose to a high of RM1.35 with high daily volume. History can repeat itself.

UEMS-C28 ---> Jia U, Jia U, Jia U ..... TP 0.20.

All the GLC companies need to be goreng to collect funds for election. Very obvious.

Today UEMS-C28 closed at 0.105, up 0.005. Mother share closed unchanged at 1.13.

Only up 2 bids? The afternoon is still young. Please push and push...
