Not cheap no buy bro… not moving at all.

Good analysis by Warren, bank failures will be limited to banks shareholders loss. Also limited to US and European banks holding feds junk bonds. So no worries for our local banks as long as they did not hold any US government junk bonds.
“We are not through with bank failures,” the Berkshire Hathaway Inc chairman and chief executive officer said in an interview on CNBC Wednesday (April 12). “Dumb decisions” by bank managers shouldn’t be “panicking the whole citizenry of the United States about something they don’t need to be panicked about.”

Buffett said he’s willing to wager that no depositor will lose any money in the next year. Still, the billionaire investor warned that troubled bank stocks aren’t value investments because shareholders are likely to be wiped out even if the government moves to protect depositors.

“They’re not gonna save the stockholders,” Buffett said after being asked if battered regional bank stocks including First Republic Bank would be a “steal.”

Buffett said the structure of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp — which collects assessments from the banks with deposits it insures — means the federal government won’t lose money as it resolves failed banks.

“The public has the impression the FDIC is the US government,” Buffett said. “But the cost of the FDIC, including the cost of their employees and everything, are borne by the banks. So banks have never cost the federal government a dime.”

Anwar government strategy is just what Mahathir did when he was PM for the first time. During the impending economic recession launched more projects to generate more economic activity. So going to China to attract more investment is a good move in tandem with generating more economic activity. Big projects like the construction of highways, rails and large infra will make a difference in GDP of a country.

Good morning, old management still can come back as they are only suspended. So info given is not accurate.
Leong's appointment to the board of Revenue Group came after the suspension of the group's co-founders Brian Ng Shih Chiow and his younger brother Dino Ng Shih Fang from the board. The brothers also ceased to be substantial shareholders of the group.

Paynet is the only client of Revenue? If paynet pull out will there be any Revenue left? Why had to come out to support a supplier? Why do Ng Brothers have to steal motor vehicles if the company had RM50 mill last quarter? Or is the cash from last quarter already empty by now? Also why sales of e-data capture terminals suddenly disappeared and were reported as no sales at all?

Revenue Group has been and continues to be our valued partner. We have full confidence in their ability to provide reliable payment processing services to their clients,” said PayNet’s chief commercial officer Gary Yeoh.

Revenue Group suffered a net loss of RM17.61 million for the first half year ended Dec 31, 2022 (1HFY2023), after posting a second-straight quarterly loss of RM14.27 million in 2QFY2023 due to lower revenue from its business activities, coupled with higher administrative expenses and finance costs. Is the next quarter going to be heavy losses?

Quarterly revenue dropped 82.15% to RM4.9 million, from RM27.44 million in 2QFY2022, as no sales of electronic data capture terminals were recorded.

As a result, 1HFY2023 revenue shrank 44.43% to RM25.72 million, from RM46.28 million in 1HFY2022.

Time for Armada to move upward this year. Inflation will be with us for quite some time so live with it. The USA has not been able to tame it & Feds may abandon interest rate increase if it affects corporate recovery. Southeast Asia non-oil producing countries will be affected by oil prices hitting USD100 and above per barrel.
Triple-digit oil will complicate central bank efforts to quell inflation.
The biggest losers will be Asia’s developed economies heavily dependent on oil imports.
In terms of a hit to government finances from the OPEC+ cuts, the biggest losers will be Asia’s developed economies heavily dependent on oil imports, as well as emerging markets in south and Southeast Asia, which not only rely on imported energy but also have weak fiscal balances. Those are the mature economies of Japan and South Korea, and the emerging markets India and Pakistan in south Asia, as well as Argentina, Turkey, and South Africa, according to Pavel Molchanov, managing director of private investment bank Raymond James.

No big deal,it applies to all counters.The moment when you have bought any share ,you just remain hopeful that it can do well later in the future. No one can forsee the future.

Fear still grips the US banking industry. Could more banks collapse from depositors pull out? Let us hope that PMX investment mission in China can offset any funds pulled out from Malaysia and lessen the impact of a recession
Moving cash from bank accounts to money market funds is a trend explained by the fact that these short-term investments offer higher returns than traditional bank accounts. However, the depletion of bank deposits can lead a bank to a liquidity crunch, similar to what happened with SVB.

Many people in the past said PBB is an overvalued counter but PBB kept growing to be one of the largest and most solid private banks in Malaysia. All others especially GLC banks have not grown to that level because of interference from politicians. The only other bank that can challenge PBB in terms of productivity is Hong Leong Bank.

No issue with your understanding of banks giving loans, but the majority of the low-end borrowers will just take out the EPF through loans and leave the labour force. Without consistent contributions in the future, the loans not paid will become bad. There must be a mechanism where if the collateral such as the balance of the contribution is lower than the outstanding loans plus interest balance, the bank got the right to set off with the contribution.

@alenac: My understanding is that when someone failed to repay the loan, when they reach age of retirement. EPF will pay back the bank first before sending the remaining balance (if any) back to the account owner.

As for increase of interest rate, i think banker will anticipate and calculate based on the max profit that Islamic loan rate which is around 10% to determine how much they willing to loan out.

For an investor point of view, this is great business opportunity.
But for social standpoint, this is not a great move as it defeat the purpose of mandatory retirement fund. If age of 40 can use they fund as they like, then why age of 30, 20 cannot?

Reducing civil servants will be political suicide for any government in Malaysia. Even the slightest hint of it, Muddin and PAS will go to town with this issue, they did that in the last PH government and twist it to anti Melayu sentiments.
Malaysia has 1.7 million civil servants for our population of 36.5 million. That means we have 1 civil servant to every 20 citizens. Malaysia has the most civil servant per capita in the world. Moreover, almost all the civil servants are Malay. We should have a bit more non-Malays to create a competitive spirit and improve management efficiency.

Singapore has 87,000 civil servants for 6.1 million people. 1 civil servant for 70 citizen.

Thailand has 2 million civil servants for 69.9 million people. 1 civil servant for 35 citizen.

Malaysia has 1.7 million civil servants for 36.5 million people. 1 civil servant for 20 citizens.

Yes if with the right management. Tomorrow, they are lending to EPF low-end borrowers at 4 to 5% interest rate. Social service at best but many will not pay back and what will happen to the bad loans? MBSB has not addressed this issue. Market borrowing rates are not going to decline, for all you know by next year they may be up to 8%. When that happens, the return from EPF yearly divi cannot cover interest costs from loans. We may be creating another Silicon Valley bank in Malaysia.

None of us has the knowledge of what is exactly happening in Revenue. But on the side of caution, it would be wise not to touch this counter until a clearer picture emerges.

The question is can it meet its obligation to pay creditors as it has RM802 million to settle? With only RM52 mill in cash, any schoolboy will know that a huge sum to pay is trouble ahead. Sooner, Pharma will receive a legal letter from one of the creditors.
The company, which fell to PN17 status after writing off RM552.3 million worth of Sinovac Covid-19 vaccines, had cash of RM52.85 million at end-2022. Payables stood at RM802.7 million from RM858.41 million the year before.

The stock market is in shock from the bank collapse in the US recently and has not recovered. Even wall street is still fearful of any corporate collapse, just any corporation in trouble for the next few weeks would force Dow to close much lower. Also, the Feds raising interest rates again would be negative to the market. As in the past, the KLSE will only move if big funds decide to move their money to safety if they consider Malaysia as one.

Not possible that China can resolve the Ukraine war, China is seen as a good ally of Russia, which is the aggressor. That for one is already negative for Ukraine and the rest of the free world. Who in the right mind would accept a peace treaty from an aggressor whose intention is to annexe land belonging to someone else? The only way for the war is to stop if big bro USA and Nato decide not to finance Ukraine anymore. This will also depend on the strength of the US economy going forward. Any deep world recession will be advantageous to Russia to negotiate a better term to end the war. In conclusion, what ever played out will be more of economic than military.
"On the other hand, if China can help resolve Ukraine war it would restore world economic confidence as peace in Ukraine ( a big food producing country) would reduce inflationary pressures better than interest raisings inflationary fighting measure by various countries."

Great job by the new government but the road is far ahead. Mou is just a letter of intent and nothing more. But I believe Geely and DRB would go ahead in their intention.

PBB is still steady, down a minimal margin.

Quiet here, have to wait for a few weeks more for more bad news (if any, but many speculate still more to come) hold tight, on the banking shakeout in the states. Still, certain gurus expect the feds to increase further the interest rate as America can't control the inflation rate at the moment. Already 5% and more to go and plus risk rate of borrowings. American corporations will be badly impacted? Doomsday gurus will be making public statement soon.
For those of you staying in this country, don't you feel the prices of food are increasing almost every month, why the statistics are not reflecting the rise? So if the US is expected to have run away inflation so are we?

Will this cheap counter make money with rising interest rates on borrowings? Hardly. Buy to hit and run, ok with good timing and swimming with sharks.

Are we prepared for a recession? Looks like our politicians are not. Meanwhile, can we expect funds from the US will flow into our stock market? But our interest rates are not as attractive as the USA. Will our BNM allow the RM to depreciate further to attract some USD300 bill to swing the KLSE up and down for the next 2 years?

This kind of positioning is among the reasons stock markets will test new lows in the next thee to six months, Bank of America analysts led by Michael Hartnett wrote in a note Friday.
