I hope the powerful news going to be disclosed by probability soon is not about scrapping of the MRT3 project

probability, don't tell me the powerful news you mentioned to share in 1 to 2 days time is the confirmation of scrapping of HSR project?

Have you all buy till enough especially probability as there will be "uncertain" environment ahead with the scrapping of hsr project? Annjoo should be the clear winner with its high dividend yield

Yes, Annjoo may be a clear winner in EPS in the industry in an "uncertain" environment. So when the whole sector is dropping soon, what is the use of holding a share that gives high yield such as 7% in dividend when lower EPS causes the share price to plummet more than 30%?

The only thing annjoo win is the dividend

Anyway, past 3 quarters already shown Ssteel is much better than Annjoo despite Annjoo claiming it has all the benefit of Hybrid furnace etc. I wonder how they will fare without the hybrod

Q1 CNY break, Q2 Hari Raya break, Q3 Malaysia Day break, Q4 Christmas break.. forever affected by seasonality?

When someone try to use unethical methods to make money for themselves, I wonder whether the wealth will last?

But you seems to have more personal agenda behind your messages

If you say that the trade war might jeopardise the investors' confidence on the global market as a whole, I would accept that

Besides, I think you have a very high ego to feed as you try to justify that your decision to sell much earlier is the right one. If the price fly again, you would surely won't have the courage to rebuy

STC1136, I wonder what is your real intention of creating unnecessary and unsubstantiated fear among all. I think you are desperate to buy back the stocks at a much lower price to earn substantial profit with the good outlook ahead

hentara, there's no Wagyu beef here, only Wagyu steel available. So have you got your food at bargain?

Dear hentara, MrPauper has not disappeared but is waiting for the release of the just concluded quarter's result expected to be released somewhere end of april.

We shall see then who is theleader.

By the way, hentara, why are you lurking around?

Hunting for food in the wild?

hng33, lion ind is considerabke for the longer term. But the phrase "hold, wait and see" coming from you really gave me a good laugh. It soinds incredible or ridiculous to be exact ?

In times of crisis, a new leader shall born and rise !

Try to show me some recent performance that annjoo is superior compare to its peers especially ssteel

hebeds, can you distinguish between glory and resurrection? From 1 to 3 something for annjoo, it is merely due to turaround from previous loss making industry. It has not even achieved its max potential. And who said that annjoo is the leader in steel industry? That is only the propaganda spread by some vested interest parties to make sure annjoo share price is higher above the rest

hng33 can be a good politician. Do you know what is the best criteria of politician? Stay thick face and just tell your points. Ignore other cooments and what themselves said in the past

nicky, buy rate high doesn't mean anything as it can indicate distribution as well. This stock is in consolidation mode for too long. We shall see after this lengthy consolidation, the price is going to move north breaking the rm2.40 or falling down further

hebeds, since when steel stock had its glory days. From time to time in the past 2 years, people keep downplaying the future of steel companie and doubt their potentials.

A lot of people are gambling on Masteel. Ever wondered why the share base is so small yet tenths of million of share units exchanged hands daily? If Masteel repeats its mediocre 4 sen EPS in the upcoming quarter, the larecent late comers are going to die hard

Without justifiable earnings / EPS to show on an adjusted larger share base, what else can speculators do on a bearish sentiment other than sell / take profit? Don't expect them to be charitable and let all retailers cash out 1st

All steel stocks are generally affected by the current sentiment. Masteel is particularly hit hard because it is overfried previously even after 2 times of bonus issue and private placements.

This JN88 might have got stucked in AAX?

Some parties might take the opportunity on Monday to try cooking it up to that level but the Mandatory General Offer most probably will not be as high as the average RM2.56 paid by UMW to obtain a controlling stake in MBMR. They might just start off with an offer of around RM2.30 for the Minority holders

Malaysia is protected against korea and japan. Regarding vietnam, how cheap are they going to dump? Do you think it is so easy to dump below market cost?

Warn3r, you are right. It will be very volatile from now onward. Traders and opportunists will come and go. Some will win and some will lose. But longer term investors are definitely winners in the long run as long as the fundamental landscape does not change. Just flush out the noises and distractions in the short term. We have seen countless of half-truths and biased analysis since ssteel trading up from rm1 until now. As we all aware, price does not move up or down in a straight line, so do our lives.

Never seen such i3 members come commenting so relentlessly during other times. All coming to post half-truth info hoping the price will drop to their favour to trade

brightsmart, i have not performed any short selling as i am not eligible. But certain institution and licensed individuals do. Bursa Malaysia website clearly displays this information and the short selling regulation will be relaxed to all individuals soon subject to approval.

I agree that G Soros is smart and bright, but I highly doubt whether you are even half as bright and smart as him. No offence but just my 2 cents

Brightsmart is not so bright and smart after all.

After all, if everyone is able to see the same value of a stock counter at the same time, then do you think there is any potential for the growth in price of the counter? Thanks to those who fail to see the value of the stock earlier, the stock can conti ue to grow

This author is revealing half-truth. Regulated short selling is allowed in Malaysia. Besides, although there are vested interests in those promoting steel sector, there are equally vested interest in those who called others to sell in order for them to collect at lower price. This is due to the fact that long term investors are not willing to release their shares to these new collectors

If you are lazy to work hard on your own, don't expect the money to work hard for you. Just put your lazy money in FD

Don't be like a typical newbie who buy based on so called half truth free tips and then cut loss without knowing what is happening. The world does not owe you anything

So to all those "newbies" out there, don't think it is easy to just earn in the stock market by trying to get free tips without paying. There is no free meal

Even if they decide to subscribe, they should choose one with a credible track record and i think otb might be one of the few

I would just say that there is no free lunch in this world. If some newbies or whoever it is hope to always get free tips from sifus in i3 and earn profit then they are no different than parasites as they are lazy to do their own homework.

No one will bother to comment about him if he never bother to comment about his trades daily, sometimes do sound boastful

Earnings will definitely increase in coming quarters but the challenge is whether they are utilising well the money from private lacent to produce sustainably high EPS on a much higher number of outstanding shares due to bonus issue

Sell down is not because masteel not a good stock but rather because it is temporarily overvalued compared to the achievement of its peers such as annjoo and ssteel

This means that the adjusted EPS based on latest number of outstanding shares should be 2.84 sen instead of 4.02 sen

@tkk1127, if you take notice of the B11. EPS section of the quarter report, the weighted average number of ordinary used to calculate EPS is 301,493,000 shares. But actually the latest number of shares outstanding is 427,241,124 shares. You try to do the math

Revenue all time high is due to higher average selling price ==> Might indicate that there is no / not much addition of sales volume.

@tkk1127, for your information, the EPS is based on old share base (before recent bonus issue). If based on latest number of shares after bonus issue, the EPS is much lower. Correct me if I am wrong.

I think hng33 should hold until May 2018 for dividend.. such a good dividend stock, where to find?

In that scenario, wider margin will lead to lower EPS

Besides, if revenue drop but net profit remains stagnant, it will result in wider margin but definitely not EPS

Wider profit margin does not automatically translate to higher EPS if share base widens as well. Masteel is the best example.

No need to argue with JN88. At last Friday's closing price, Ssteel was at RM2.26 while Annjoo was at RM3.70. We shall see which Co generate a higher return in share price and dividend at the end of the year
