Unbelievable how these con artists can still convince people to buy their shares.

In this country, the crooked weasels who cheat investors and banks go on to live lifes as usual even as the losing banks and creditors are busy scrambling to pick up whatever scraps and pieces left behind. The good parts already stowed away to put to use in another scam fronted by another batch of weasels looking for another group of suckers to hand over their hard-earned money.

Perhaps a call for TM to cut out the fats, be leaner and efficient, face a
more competitive pricing landscape. Good for the public, good for the company in the long run.

If you are so sure its a bad stock to buy, then what are you doing here making price targets?

This forum is getting boring. Back biting, nitpicking and trading insults, like kindergarten kids. No value whatsoever. in it at all. Just

Sri Lanka used to subsidize everything ( as a political tool) until it went bankrupt. Subsidies give people a false sense of their purchasing power. And in this case, the worst hit are the shareholders.

They want the taxes, the illegal underground, the legal free ticket but pretend to be righteous.

If the 1st world countries could grow oil palm and make palm oil, it would have become the best and healthiest edible oil, and the environmental side effects made inevitable and tolerable.

Already subsidizing the bills, then the pros. tax, and then now the back taxes. The latest one looks like desperate attempts to raise money to finance the bloated budget. The repercussions of poor financial management going to be wide and severe, ranging from lower dividends, less confidence in the market, foreigners side-stepping us for others and much more.

Decades ago when latex glove industry was in style, 100s of manufacturing licenses were issued by MIDA. The bandwagon started. Most who went in closed shop thru attrition. Only a handful remained, got very big and resilient. So the big four have seen it all, they have automated, improved on technology and grown phenomenally. They have gone thru many cycles unscathed while so many perished. To categorically shoot them down, and discourage people from buying when the prices are rock bottom reeks of ulterior motives.

Bursa has to buck up, act fast, maintain credibility and integrity, otherwise the locals continue to lose faith and the foreigners run away taking their money elsewhere. Nowadays lots of options.

Not good sign at all

Take the cue from the insiders. When ships sink, the rats know and get out first.

If you were to believe what analysts say all the time, you are sure to
end up in the doghouse.

Why the preoccupation with the US? When all your intellectual property get stolen, people copy everything you do and dump their cheap stuff back to you sure there will be mess.

Very noble way of life. Psycho and frighten people into selling so you can buy cheap.

Interesting. The world is waking up to who are the real villains. It's not just the hardworking who become rich. Those who steal and take what is not theirs often do. Case in point, the corrupt around here. A country brands itself by its deeds, not by what it tells other. And wars are not decided by the masses. Just by one or two lunatics in charge.

When the report is ugly and presumably not in one's favor, then it's 'cooked up'. And the usual boogeymen are responsible.

Wonder how and why I ended up on this crap page.

ok then not for people who like dividend or capital gain, just for fresh air and sunshine. And let the fat cats get fatter.

In the age of loads and loads of cash been creamed off in the fashion of IMDB ..and many more, some of these offshore loot need to make their way back. Just a thought.

Interesting valuations. Earns 30sen market pays 19. BAT earns 89sen market pays 14

Very good fundamentals, PE348, massive new projects and the main sponsor unloading his shares generously so others can benefit.

Insiders who basically add no value to the company but make up stories to unload their garbage shares to the public are nothing but scum.

You can't fool all people all the time but you can fool some. That's the mantra for some.

Nothing wrong with short selling. They just betting the opposite. Usually based on some underlying weakness, real, imagined or made out to be. Just like we see underlying or potential fundamental strengths in certain companies and place their bets there for good returns. Retail or minority shareholders are always at a disadvantage in terms of financial muscle, information access or manipulation. Just have to cautious and not greedy. Can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.

For novices, just look at facts. In the annual reports (for whatever that's worth). Not fantasize. Never made money in 10 years. Just raise capital all the time and nothing to show for. That seems to be the core business, raising money. Why would anyone give their hard earned money to this types?

You cannot become an overnight glove success starting from zero, not if you cannot even make money from your own industry you specialized for decades. The glove companies which are successful now spent decades to get to where they are.

With 3 million subscribers, PE of 9, DY of 6.5 per cent, will be good for at least next 5 years.

Milk the company off Billions, now need the govt to bail out. Haven't we heard this one before.

What can be a worse company to invest in than one that uses public money to acquire assets and businesses, never pays any dividend and nothing to show for in terms of performance. Deliberately done to drive down the share price so they can buy back Actually when you invest in companies, you are investing in the people own the major chunk and their proxies in management. Wise to make sure they are not scumbags.

When is Bursa going to figure this out?

Don't know this co, but just browsed the financials. Couldn't make money during good times and people wishing it will now. And betting more money on it. Wow!

Very noble intentions then, put out negative news, spread fear encourage people to sell so can buy cheap. It's different from sharing information and advice whether good or bad, about companies which is then a value to the investing community.

Funny, many people 'hate' this stock, quit subscription la, garbage stock la, sunset, but are still here. Wonder whats the motivation?

The management is so good they hardly made money last 10 years in the business of their OWN expertise. Before Covid trading could not even break out of 4 , now with far worse economic conditions, at 13 people are buying on hope, that it will be another Harta or TG? managed by the same people?. And why would anyone sell a glove business now when it is making so much money?

This is a case study on why not to put your money in people without ethics or integrity. Many of these types think they are wizards who can manipulate the financials to show big profit quarters where they pile on the fat, inflate values etc. (at the same time selling their shares at high prices), then do the reverse to show huge losses, like major impairment, during which time they happily collect back the shares at a fraction. The minority who study the financials like hawks who have no idea what the sleazebags are up to, get suckered every time. That's why the first thing to look for when investing, is that the the people running the show are not scoundrels.

If want to invest in a plantation stock, I am sure people can do better than this, way better. Choose people with integrity to trust your money with.

With such a bad track record and still can find enough gullible people to hand over their money to buy the RI every few years. What more do you want in a plc? You can sit in your high office, drive your posh cars, have some semblance of a manufacturing ops somewhere for the authorities and daft analysts to see, keep your good customers in your private outfits, put your lousy poor paying customers in the plc, keep the profitable parts of the business private, make private arrangements with supplies to skim off the top. So many opportunities in the plc, unless you have integrity. Many of them will want your money but will not share the returns. So beware.

Keep mulling another 10 years.

Why buy-back at 2 when you can bring it down and do it at 1.

What good people of high integrity to trust your money with. http://www.ytlcommunity.com/commnews/shownews.asp?newsid=14052

They will bring it down to take it private cheap.

You can cheat the minority, use the loopholes in the system and law, manipulate the financials but eventually that easily accumulated wealth from cheating the public usually comes with a price. Karma's a bitch.

The whole purpose of investment is returns. If you don't give out dividends for years, what good does the nta do for investors. You are using the hard earned money of the investing public to enrich yourself. After some time people shun the shares, and you can then use it to your advantage to squeeze the minority out at even lower prices. It's a game many controling shareholders of listed companies play.

One of the most important criteria for share investment is, who you are placing your money with. The integrity of directors and substantial shareholders. Never trust your money with people who treat listed companies as they do prostitutes, use and milk then dump them into PN17 or delisted, with no sympathy or regard for the minorities. Checking the background of these people is more important than the business viability as crooked people can bring down even the best business after looting the bank accounts and lining their pockets. Just a general advice.

Low share price not a bother if you are the majority and in management and can milk the company from the inside.

The fact that EPF is selling Nestle doesn't make me happy about my retirement money being managed by them. They have something better to put our money in??

Waiting for this company to perform is the height of patience. It never has since listing.
