the boat left in 2005 and sank in 2008 my friend. you are too late.

i suggest CIMB clicktrader for best software and execution. they even have a java-free web terminal so you can use on computers without d/ling java. you need to keep a cash balance of above 10,000 to enjoy discount.

they also include Capital IQ and Thomson Reuters reports. No charting software is the biggest downside. thats is why i stil use osk188 charting software, for charts only.

i don't know, but we are in a bull market, and this sort of crap shouldn't be happening, especially to a "branded" stock, such as this. the way the price moves and volume make me uncomfortable. but there is no reason why it won't rise given time. it is real estate after all.

buying the cream crackers. enjoy with peanut butter and jam.

Post removed.Why?

this is a classic tactic used by insiders, as one last way to drive the price up, so that they can dump stock. i can't see any other reason they would increase the dividend with this kind of result. they should be saving every last sent to prop up the company, and pay down debt. not splash out cash. kwap and others will be selling more thats fro sure.

what if you bought at 7.00 in 2007. do you think its has gone up enough?

those results are not good. in case you don't understand. glad investors are getting a dividend. thats the only good part.

wow. talk about delusional. do you know how to read financial statements?

yup. this share is going to trade below 7.00 very shortly.

i'm sure its got more upside. i just think, that at this point, with the massive gap that needs to close in the KLCI, it might be prudent to wait until that happens before diving back in. i'm not sure what event is going to cause that to happen, but it will happen.

whats wrong with the EPF. bunch of muppets. why be selling this company. its making money (LNG is one of the few bright spots in shipping). and its one-of-a-kind. what kind of qualification needed to work there (EPF) i wonder??

agreed ryanboleh. i doubt 7% is doable unless that fat, juicy suria klcc is included. in addition. they're doing a 900m renovation of dayabumi. so there won't be much money for dividends for awhile, unless they borrow for it.

don't like this stock. alex lu gives thumbs up. not me though.

duit masuk. sold and book profit. i don't like the price action. super low dividend too.

wow. i could be proven wrong on this one. wow. i hope so.

saw a picture of the THPLANT board in starbiz. sloppy looking bunch - not buying the stock. funny how we got to same conclusion.

you're right. Yee Lee has super low margins. i'm not sure how vertically integrated, how much upstream it is involved in. its other brands (toothpaste etc) have no recognition. this company has been stagnent for some time, but you know what they say about bull markets....

you're right. i have my strategy, you have yours. i could be wrong. sure. its the free market. people are free do do as they wish, as they like. not so free, however, is the money you have to front to buy shares...

and why on earth are these pension funds selling??? why not be buying since everyone thinks below 4.00 is a bargain??

If there is another market crash, this stock is going to get hammered, and is not going to recover. that is for sure.

Post removed.Why?

Do not listen to gansai or KL Vin. Don't catch a falling knife. This share is going down, for many reasons. While all others are going up, this is going down. This should not be happening. This is basic stuff. Wait until confirmed uptrend, before buying!

The following is an excerpt from Rolf Dobelli's excellent book "The Art of Thinking Clearly"

The sunk cost fallacy is most dangerous when we have invested a lot of time, money, energy or love into something. This investment becomes a reason to carry on, even if we are dealing with a lost cause. The more we invest, the greater the sunk costs are, and the greater the urge to continue becomes.

Investors frequently fall victim to the sunk cost fallacy. Often they base their trading decision on acquisition prices. "I lost so much money with this stock, I can't sell it now", they say. This is irrational. The acquisition price should place no role. What counts is the stock's future performance (and the future performance of alternative investments). Ironically, the more money a share loses, the more investors tend to stick by it.

This irrational behavior is driven by a need for consistency.....

-Rolf Dobelli

I'm not a fan of diversification in Bursa. Stick to the performing, dividend paying counters. there are not that many to chose from.

this stock has been down (going down) for ages (since IPO)...why did't you buy earlier?

only if parkson quits china, then only shares will fly. otherwise its going to be a laggard. china is a huge drag on earnings, and will only get worse, not better. they need to get out now and focus on malaysia. or else this could end in tears for everyone.

wow. back from the dead huh? i can't believe my eyes

i guess that's one way of looking at it. i wouldn't assume too much from the technics acquisition. not a strong point, and will be a drag on earnings for awhile.

what will be a catalyst for the share price will be a bonus/split, special dividend or buyback. I think the buyback is looking very likely.

i'm quietly optimistic about this one. as i mentioned earlier, resistance at 1.40. it broke, and has closed at/above - support. could this be the start of that long awaited move up to 1.70?

Sure, no problem :)

Very happy with this buy. I was not expecting to rise so fast. I thought 3.00 only possible in December. Don't worry, I'm not complaining!

Historical high for this counter is 4.51 set in Feb 1994. Still has upside potential.

Another, more recent high is 3.16 set in June 2007.

you are all correct. TTB and icap are finished, as far as i'm concerned. you only needed to have bought two or three select counters like dksh, pwroot, daibochi, hua yang, tune ins, hunza to outperform this fool. stop focusing on ikan bilis like TTB/icap. focus on the juicy alaskan king crabs, abalone, king prawns, tiger/dragon grouper, blue fin tuna in Bursa.

AIYOH! This TTB better re-align his portfolio before the market massacres it!

Post removed.Why?

this company should have seen the move to mobile years ago and transitioned. why aren't they doing anything about it? there is huge demand for dram and nand chips.

- as I mentioned earlier. To those hoping for a rebound - dream on.

You think its all so easy to walk into China and do business is it? What about all the American companies that failed (including Google and Apple).

New market, New challenge - that is why people us companies like Harrisons and DKSH to marketing and distribution. It is NOT easy at all. Even Coca-Cola used F & N (for how many years???)

Tesco spent 20 years investigating the US market before taking the plunge and still managed to mess it up.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2012/dec/09/fresh-not-easy-tesco-british-failure-america

Its not as easy as brushing teeth people. You also need more than your Uncle, Sister, Brother, Daughter, Grandma to pull this kind of expansion off.

Whoops, not Pantech (at least not yet). My bad. I mean Octagon.

When stock goes above and stays above TP thats a very good sign. I believe Tasek TP is still 9.00. Its closing price on Friday was 16.10.

And what does that say about Malaysian companies and management?? Do they lack integrity, honesty, transparency, vision, corporate execution abilities, compromise, cooperation? Its a pretty damning indictment on corporate Malaysia in general if you ask me.

The thing is guys, I have come to realize that Bursa is not like NYSE or NASDAQ or FTSE or STI or Hang Seng. These markets are dynamic, and play by international rules. You can apply Warren Buffets strategy, Benjamin Graham rules, Value Investing, Altman Z Score etc etc. In Bursa, not so much. Better to apply Racist strategy (like UMNO) as I describe below...

I tell you one investment strategy for long term investors in Bursa. I know this is going to sound SO racist, and please do try and prove me wrong, but if you just bought companies helmed by "white guys", gwai-los, mat sallehs, you would have made tonnes of money...

Such companies like Carlsberg, GAB, Nestle, Dutch Lady, BAT (first Malaysian CEO in 2010, Mr William Toh Ah Wah) and Digi (after Vincent Tan sold it to Telenor). Am I right, or am I right?

"But actually icap at more than 20% discount to its NAV, to me is a good investment now, putting other things aside." -kcchongnz

That 20% discount unfortunately is the "Tan Teng Boo Stubborn Arrogant" discount.

Essentially the market is telling you to do your own homework and buy good stocks instead of wasting your time with this idiot.

Hua Yang has been super hot lately. They seem to be growing top line and bottom line revenue quite aggressively - which is great. However, I'm a bit uncomfortable with all this bonus issue shenanigans. Its not a sustainable way to drive stock price. I remember KNM doing the same thing. Good for you if you sold at 5-8 ringgits. If not, it all ended in tears.

it does not face the same problems, as it still generates most of its revenue from property. check the financial statements lah

Stop being so obsessed with Glove counters. Find a Condom counter or something, got ah? Sure demand never dry up. Definitely a "Growth" industry!

-Why these Glove counters don't make Condoms???

Use Google Translate lah

this company is NOTHING like Padani. Its mostly a high end niche property player, land bank in Penang, with a growing clothing segment. It partners and sells internationally renown brands -

Wing Tai carries 11 fashion brands in Malaysia such as Topshop, Topman, Dorothy Perkins, Warehouse, Pumpkin Patch, Wallis, Karen Millen, BCBG Maxazria, Diva, Miss Selfridge and Ben Sherman & UNIQLO

Profit from Property + Fashion Labels. Up another 7 cents today. Awesome.

Mainly because the Management caught AIDS and pass it to the share price.

Hooray a BUY BACK - finally. Those cheap Indian buggers are finally going to support the share price!

Add also MAS, Axis, Ekran, Java, Unisem, Pantech, Silver Bird, Luster, Sanichi, Nicorp, Hubline.
These are what I like to call "Terminal Cancer Patients" or "AIDS victims".

the tipping point? this share is in a "Bursa Downtrend". That is like you doctor telling you you have cancer. That usually means its heading to penny stock levels. Famous stocks in this category include KNM, Johan, MUI, CSL, Tiger, Harvest, CAP, etc etc etc

This usually happens when Chinese family-owned companies who think they know it all try and expand without hiring the right people. Disaster!!

hooi is probably TTB. instead of doing his job properly by allocating capital wisely (like Warren Buffet), he spends his time trying to boost the stock price in i3investor like a fool.

sure. if you can short-sell this stock because you belong to a Participating Organisation (PO) or a Proprietary Day Trader (PDT). sure to make money one on this stock. for sure!
