another imp. area is MOE budget cut over the past few yrs. also have a -ve effect on sch.publishers, as direct sales to schools is much reduced now

mayb more optimal to start cut loss, bit by bit n reallocate the funds to more promising counters with brighter recovery prospects

going by the trend in the chart, unless new catalysts come in , it is obvious, price is down,down

Sasbdi

Sasdbi is/was the most successful of the local sch bk publishers, but turnover n profit will not be good for nxt yr

just drop by the retail bookshops n look at the price of sch related books n the no. of buyers

Quan Fu Gan The current price is based on current sentiments

it is sad, but the outlook for school publishing companies is very bleak for next year, due to MOE decision to strictly enforce rule on ' no workbooks' for yr. 1,2,3 students n limit use of workbooks for yr 4,5,6.

many publishers have printed the SJKC workbooks before this was announced in late Sep. (? , no sure actual date, but was in the papers) , for SK, not printed but the turnover will be much reduced.

also, the trend of decreasing sale of ref. n opt. workbooks in retail bookshops past few yrs, due to parents cut down spending here n the higher cost of books, also affect the book publishers.

Get ready, TP rm 3 is nxt avg pt.

better eg of good NTA take private by OSk boss is PJ Dev.

Fabien Extraordinaire Osk owns 10% of RHB

Based on their stake, it is worth RM1,935million which is more than OSK's current market cap.

Have u think about why all the OSK related counters, OSK, OSKVI,Willow has no volume at all ?

looks good on NTA n EPS but that is just like the sweet scent of monkey cup flower to attract innocent buyers to come in but cannot escape, will be trap for long,long time until you sell at loss. unless u can wait for 1,...2... yrs for sudden short burst of activity, then no volume again.

good NTA is no use to small investor, bcause the boss can just take private at a ridiculously low price, eg, the recent Willow case, price at rm1.39, but announce MGO at 80 sen.

all the funds in the business already know this, that's why they avoid like the plague

Anyhow, it will soon slowly be heading to my fair valuation estimated at around 65 cents. Up or not that time also depends on your luck

not likely to be below rm1 for long, as the new bosses in SCLAND bgt at rm1.12 their 29.5% stake n the bank will come calling soon

u mean in 2015 ? do u have the link ?

need to give the new mgmt. 6 mths at least, to prove their capability, n the new bosses may not be able to support the share price aggressively in the short term.

As the new bosses background is in property development, and ALCOM is a manufacturing concern, could it be some of the shareholders prefer to sell down, to take profit, as a reflection of their concern of the new mgmt capability, going forward ?

interesting to note that, after the 2 capital repayment ex., Mr. Yeoh's block of 29.71% , cost only 8.5 sen a share, while the minority shareholders (40.79%) cost is reduced by 52.5 sen a share.

there is a write-up in the STAR on ALCOM, that may help us to understand the company n surmise why it is not performing as many would expect , since the transfer of mgmt ctrl to the new SCLAND bosses.

https://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2017/11/11/yeohs-alcom-coup/

note that the former owner, Mr Yeoh Jin Hoe (md of Kian Joo) still controls 29.71 % while Datuk Lim Chee Koon, Datuk Eng Kim Liong n Mr Ang Loo Leong, collectly controls only 29.5%, while balance of 40.79% is owned by other shareholders.

Investing oilgas company be careful,most of them problem facing huge debt,financial losses , no new contract and low cashflow !

For now, investors’ money may be better off in other sectors. Analysts agree that O&G valuations are treading an all-time low — a fact that has prompted some to wonder if it can be taken advantage of.

“Definitely not for quick gains,” said Inter-Pacific’s Pong. “Relative to the earnings of counters with low valuation, it is still not enough to excite any significant trading opportunities. You need to be very, very patient.”

BlueCheapstock Haiz.... any idea still stuck here between 0.39 - 0.395... any good advices here?
08/12/2017 09:45


u got to review how come u got stuck here in the first place n take away something positive, to learn +ve lesson to be an improved investor, not easily taken in by good promotors. u paid for the lesson

mayb he try to make fast buck from stressed small investors, anyway, he owes the bank millions n will blink first !

If true, that big brother bgt at rm1.12, he wont let it drop further, else the bank will come calling to top up !

kudos to the warriors in ALCOM, still holding on.

at 95.5 sen, revised NTA of 86 sen, n 3.5 mths of downtrend, the bottom shd be near, expect rebound by nxt week, as Dec. normally shd be a strong window dressing mth, after November profit taking.

TheEdgeMon, Dec 04, 2017 - 1 hour ago


actually, this is a coded msg. that big shareholder/funds will b taking profit.

prudent to sell for those already making good profit n wait to reenter at lower levels
