Insas, a name that whispers promise,
A value play, some investors entice.
But hold, dear friend, before you take the bait,
This siren song may lead to a bitter fate.

The price sits low, a number that enthralls,
A hidden gem, a bargain for all.
Yet stagnant waters, though alluring to the eye,
May hold unseen depths, where dreams can die.

Years tick by, the share price barely moves,
While others soar, a tale the market proves.
Is it a value, or a value trap so deep?
Where hopes descend, and fortunes fall asleep.

Think twice, dear friend, before you invest your trust,
In promises whispered, turning into dust.
For in the market's dance, a truth is plain to see,
Not all that glitters, is a golden jubilee.

While bulls they charge, with horns held bold,
Contrarian whispers, "Soon, the story's told."
Fundamentals strained, a tapestry thin,
A crash awaits, where profits won't win.

He hears the cheers, the laughter light,
But sees the cracks beneath the market's might.
Technicals whisper, charts in disarray,
A downward spiral not far away.

The market's heart, a creature wild,
Can shift and turn, a fickle child.
But Contrarian stands, with calm resolve,
For in his mind, the future does evolve.

So let them scoff, their voices loud and clear,
He holds his ground, with wisdom and no fear.
Contrarian's path, a lonely quest,
To see the market humbled, put to the test.

He waits and watches, with a patient heart,
For when correction tears the world apart.
Though some may doubt, and some may fall,
Contrarian's vision will see him through it all

Here's a related quote from one of Graham's books on this subject:

the market is not a weighing machine, on which the value of each issue is recorded by an exact and impersonal mechanism, in accordance with its specific qualities. Rather should we say that the market is a voting machine, where on countless individuals register choices which are the product partly of reason and partly of emotion.[1]


With respect to Graham saying "in the long run it is a weighing machine," I did an ebook search of Security Analysis and The Intelligent Investor, and the quote is not present in those books. Some say that Warren Buffett said that Graham said this.

Tong bought Insas-WC because he thought someone was making an hostile takeover but everyone else thought Tong was the one making a hostile takeover. So amusing.

Stock

2024-03-03 21:41 | Report Abuse

Tong submitted his portfolio report as follows : based on Insas closing price of 1.09 he makes an unrealized gain of RM39,016 (Insas price has closed at 1.07 on Friday) and based on Insas-WC price of 0.28 he has an unrealized loss of RM18,461. Buying Insas-WC at 0.42 was probably Tong's dumbest decision.

Insas broke through RM1 on 12th January, a Friday in the last half an hour of trading, closing at 99.5 sen. The following Monday, 15th January Insas rallied to close at RM1.20. Anyone who bought on that day and didn't sell to take profit or cut loss is now probably trapped as Insas closed RM1.07 last Friday.

Insas isn't the only undervalued counter trading far below its NTA. There are hundreds others. Affin Bank has a NTA of RM4.70 and at one stage last year or the year before it fell to around RM1.50. A bank selling for 1/3 its NTA! But nobody wanted to buy except me and one other person. Actually I made higher gain in Affin last month than I did in Insas. Bargain price isn't only in Insas. Seek them and you will find.
