Minister against pilots? Sure minister lose lah...this is economics.
I don't believe one sen Garuda etc have face to face briefings by weather man...maybe some other men lahh..

Don't buy O&G now, you better wait a long time before coming in.
Agree that CIMB will not go down much after this, upside potential very good. Economy is a question, but after oil price slide, and petrol price down in malaysia, have some hope for economy to grow good. Only wait for TNB, will they ever reduce their tariff??
I think they will merge the shares into one counter, could be CIMB counter or RHB counter, we don't know yet. Once merged, i think lots of people will buy the shares, many people are avoiding the counters due to the merger.

Of course the Oil price. However the impact of ringgit could be quite immediate to Airasia, no delay-delay

This is a good info
http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2015/01/06/AirAsia-War-of-words-minister-pilot/

I am still holding for long term.
For now, because of the same family name, aax is being hit as well by the downdraft..

Foreign investor will not gain much because ringgit is down...they will be better off to stay put...my overseas investment is looking up..if i sell and bring back...sure make instant 15% on the exchange rate

In 2007, Jan 2, a plane from Surabaya, flew to ?Mandano? and encountered severe weather, and the plane was lost, exactly like airasia plane. Same airport, timing is about the same too.
The airline was adamair, a low cost airline. The gov of indon asked the airline to pay for search costs. luckily america managed to find the plane and the black box.
Also during the bad weather, a seaship sank in the same area as the plane, and was rescued. News broke out that the airplane passengers survived. But when gov investigator sampai, not people from the plane. Strange story but family members sure pitam twice. Took them 9 months to find the plane, and the NTSB and a us company found it.

From WSJ:
Airasia was allowed to fly daily by Indonesia, from Surabaya to Singapore. However in oct 26, they decided to limit the daily flights, because airasia has carried so many passengers for the year, they will burst their "quota".

Maybe to give some breathing space for other airlines? What kind of decision is this?
Airasia already sold tickets forward, and simply limiting flights like that is not proper. It must be done in a proper way, allowing ample times etc. Further, it was the busiest time of the year and the most booked. It will cost money for airasia. I don't understand this indon decision. And as far as Singapore is concern, they can fly in as planned.

I am also surprised why all the bodies are found by other countries navies, Malaysia sent 3 ships, and each of them found bodies, but indon ships? Where are they?

musashi69, i think our taxis are in worst shape than airasia planes, so don't worry much about it. Somehow news like this are given too much priority. A failed generator is only ground issue, when the plane is flying, a failed generator is not an issue because the engine can supply all required power. Even engines got two, not one.
I agree with DickyMe....some element of sabo cannot be ruled out, that's why must be very watchful

My gut feeling is like that, so i added to my position.

Turbulent flights next few days for us shareholders...

This is what i have been predicting, that is why i sold off completely and resist from buying. The right time will come up, but it is not now in my opinion.
I absolutely do not think that Airasia with a flawless record on safety will purposely trying to skip maintenance just to save a few bucks. This is not logical, i don't think it is happening. Therefore we all need to be careful with the news. Spinmasters are everywhere. There are a kind of people out there, they are happy only when others are suffering...

Yes it is happening. Volume is lower due to holidays i guess. I will wait a little bit longer before jumping in. We need to know what happen to the plane, and then we also need to assess the reputation of airasia by air travelers..so far looking good. Then what will Indon authorities do, this is quite important and may impact airasia...but since it is mostly indonesian internal issues, i think airasia will also survives intact. So now, just wait for a suitable entry point

Of course low, many people are on holidays

Looks like the events turn out better than expected. This is very good news for Airasia. Now the stocks will be going up i guess. However people like me who have sold will have to wait and see for the next pull down for the best entry point. Congrats to those who predicted the outcome well. We all have all of you to thanks for your good conviction.

Looks like Mr TF and staff handled things very well. This is good news for all of us the shareholders. Now we wait for AAX to make the money and give us a good ride as shareholders.

DeHouse, care to share your experience on earning and making money here?

Some people are smart in other things, but not in language. So this is just fine. We help each other.
Let's get back to the topic at hand, which is Airasia. I am not a shareholder at the moment, because i think it will drop some more. I will wait until then.

Since you asked me, i think the shares will go down some more. I will wait for it.

We all need to predict the price in the future and what the co is doing. This is the reason we own the stock. For you i guess, you just buta-buta buy lah..coz for you nobody including your own poor self, can predict the price. The problem is, you are wrong. We can predict what is the price, but we cannot know what the price will actually be.
You are like someone who is angry at the weather forecast for being wrong, but the name itself imply, it is only a forecast.
Re boasting, we all share our experience in investing, this is what this forum is for. If i don't share, and i guess you will not, then what is the point of talking here? BTW why are you here in the first place? To share or not?
Now please give us some valuable info for our 'predicting' business.
Thanks

Bursa should made a thorough effort to avoid GST by pressing gov. I hope stamp duty will be removed to be fair, otherwise tax upon tax?

fayeTan, i think applicable to all. I got letter from Bursa mentioning about the GST. So late to remind me, otherwise we should ban together and fight with gov. We already kena stamp duty etc, gov already collect taxes on it, unless they remove stamp duty etc lahh

Last two weeks i have been paring my stakes in Airasia. Lucky i did that. Now i have left only two large tranches, and just now i decided to sell all of it. Reason being, there are big buyers buying the shares, it is good to exit now until the plane is found and the dust settle. I made money on all the tranches, average about 15% profit. My advise to others is, if you are making profit, it is time to let it go for now.
However i still own AAX, so i will wait and see, if price is good, i will buy more of AAX. Overall this action reduces my exposure to a more manageable level, and of course, we need to make profits!

GST on share trading but no GST on gold trading. So unfair. Those gold people managed to get exemption by pressing the gov..

Guys, all our thesis here will be based only on one thing, and one thing only. If the reputation of Airasia survives intact, then sweep in when the price is low is the best thing to do. This also shows your support to the company by buying its shares. But if the reputation is gone, then lots of sales to be lost by AA, will take a long time to recover.

This is our worst nightmare too...
Now, the only way to show our support is by buying the shares when it gets very low.
Judge the reputation of the company as much as we can. If the reputation went south by a whole lot, it will reflect in the Q reports, then we will be in for a long long ride ....

jeht,thanks. BTW how come that gold buying people need not pay any GST and they got total exemption?

Guys, oil will never go up anymore, for a long long time...that is my opinion...it could be 3 to 5 yrs ahead...and by that time, the renewables will be cheaper than oil...so it may never be able to go up

Guys, especially contra players here, is it true that buy and sell in Bursa will be taxed by GST?? Can anyone shed a light on this?

But oil keep on dropping...it dropped past my prediction...this opec nations deserved their own medicine now..all the better for all of us

Can't wait, so i decided to buy it already

The warrants are still overhang...anyway it is market forces at work..see how the big seller can control or not..
I agree with DeHouse...this is last chance to get in..actually it went up a lot already since last time at 2.4..

Does not make sense to swallow AAX for Airasia. Maybank, let's talk about the warrants loorrr....why you ask to sell...the findings in their report not consistent with their recommendation

The EPF will not stop the merger. In case merger falls through, cimb shares may go up a bit only. If falls through due to very negative things, shares may go down, not up.
Post merger, share will go up, but must give up to 1 yr post merger...only then can see good result from integration

I am thinking of adding to my holding at this price (3.35)...what you guys are thinking?

angelol...good that you are holding out...i bought AA back in January this year..also held for a yr now...i made my calculations back in Jan..i predicted oil price will drop to 75...in fact i am the only one who predicted like that back then...every analyst predict oil to go to 135 to 145..now see who is right...due to my conviction..i decided to buy lots of AA and AAX...now just wait for tony and team to do their magic...

Today looks like flying on full throttle...this could be the last chance for those who are looking to buy around 66 sen..after this..i don't think this stock is going lower anymore..
Also the powerful seller is targeting around 70 sen..so it will not go higher than around that...until warrants expire...so those who wait to buy at 50s or 40s...probably will miss the boat for good, unless they jump in now..

I am still holding to my tranche, bought at 66 sen..
I will let go above 70sen...when powerful seller pushes down..i will buy again...and when someone buys and it goes up..i will sell again..wahh..as long at this level..can make lots of money

This is the play for the next two months

supersaiyan3, best place to invest for next 2 yrs will still be the US, maybe china will be ok too, depending on people's panic level. For Malaysia, i think we will limp along as usual...unless some good companies out there really innovate and compete like hell

samsung555, if you want to share, you can just provide your links...here on this thread, it is best if we talk about AAX and sometimes AA..and airlines stuffs. I am sure lots of readers will want to read your analyses on companies..

Such a good opportunity for CIMB shares...if got money i will buy more...i will see which stocks i can sell to own this one...but must go for long term..no catalyst until 1 yr after merger completed

Wahh...bet on AA worked just fine. Will hold until long long time lah

DeHouse, maybe you switching strategy will work...whow knows..for now...i want to own both airlines...

Amin, yes I owned AA shares too...fyi

Now that AAX is turning around, i think everyone who bought it at the lowest point the other day must have turned a big profit already. Congrats for your conviction.
Some news today:
- Lufthansa decided to copy AAX and create a long haul low cost airline, announced in bloomber by its ceo. In fact it is longer haul than AAX, i think more than 12 hrs even.
- AA/AAX announced that will allow single booking across all its network..so can buy ticket from KL to somewhere and then direct to somewhere else. This is important link and simplify booking.

But where is the wifi...pls launch asap..

Amin, since 43% is hedged, most of the fuel is still unhedged and they can still profit from it. So loss and profit on the hedge will contra out, so maybe leave little bit of profit, that's about it. As i said, the person who go for extensive hedge in AAX should be fired. I never like hedging anyway, and who will do extensive hedging at high oil prices??

Newbie, i checked already. I don't like anything with french in it...also it has gov stakes inside..and it is french too...so both this reason is not to my liking. Also since oil price is depressed, not sure what is their profitably, i presumed not so good. I hope you will be ok with it...

Newbie, i will check the company you mentioned and will let you know what i think. Thanks for sharing.

Wahh..today mesti ramai org happy...some powerful buyer in the market. Lucky i added to my position before.
