Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott today said there will be no taxpayer handouts for struggling national carrier Qantas, but flagged support for lifting foreign ownership restrictions on the airline.

So will MAS be next, folks? Careful now!

Malaysia Airlines Q4E

Operating profit: -$56.272m
Profit after Tax: -$341.822m

The Group's operating revenue is comparable to the preceding quarter despite increase in capacity. However, total operating expenditure increased slightly by 3% to RM3,782.1 million in line with the increase capacity of 3%. Fuel cost was higher by 1% and non-fuel cost higher by 4% over the preceding quarter.

Included in the quarter loss was depreciation, amortisation and impairment of RM172.7 million, unrealised foreign exchange loss of RM18.7 million and finance cost of RM105.1 million.

So folks, dare to believe that Airasia Q4E will be fair better than MAS? Hmmmmmmmm...!!!!!!!!!

Can go but the big question: going to go north or south? Only time will tell! Heheheheheh!!

Folks, Q4E diary for aviation sector:

Malaysia Airlines Systems: February 18
AirAsia Bhd: February 26
AirAsia X: February 25.

So folks, who's the fairest of them all? Well I choose Airasia! What about you folks? Heheheheheh!!

Air Asia C3

Mother share price: $2.36
Exercise Price: $2.538
Maturity date: 28/02/2014
Conversion Ratio: 2.8201 for 1

A structured warrant is issued by a third party financial institution. You can buy the share you want at a fraction of its cost by purchasing a warrant. Like shares, warrants are listed on the exchange. However, their price movement is linked to movements in the price of the underlying share and may reflect magnified gains or losses.

Nevertheless, as we get closer to expiry the uncertainty falls, and the time value decays. Technicallythis is also referred to as the “theta”, the rate at which a warrant loses value as time passes.

Timedecay is not constant, and speeds up towards the end of the warrant’s life. For this reason, one mustbe wary of trading an out-of-money warrant that is approaching its expiry. Just by holding the warrant over a few days, one can lose money because of time decay.

So folks, dead end ahead for C3! Heheheheh!!

AirAsia Bhd Q4E date: Feb 24-28

Will the Q4E be good or bad? Remember folks, the investor of today does not profit from yesterday's news. So buy low sell high!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...!!

MANILA, Philippines - The House of Representatives has approved the sale of Zest Airways to Air Asia Philippines.

View here: http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/business/02/17/14/house-okays-sale-zestair-airasia

So what next? Airasia India approval? Time will tell! Hmmmmm..!!

If a business does well, the stock eventually follows. Don't believe just wait & see! Heheheheheh!!

If stock market experts were so expert they would be buying & selling stock, not giving advice! Hahahahah!!

Wakakakakaka.....just wait & see, bullshtnone. AA will hits record high on revenue of plus minus $1.45b ($1.28b 3Q) while the Operating Profit plus minus $450m ($291m 3Q) for the coming 4QE.

The big question: will the 4Q "Profit after Tax" be dragged down like in the 3Q by the "Finance Costs" & "Foreign Exchange Losses on Borrowings" (3Q PAT: $35.5 million)?

Well folks, I do believe the coming 4Q PAT will be better than the 3Q13.

Since I have answered the above question so the next bigger question: could the 4Q13 PAT be better than the 4Q12 (PAT: $350m)?

What say you folks? Heheheheheh!!

AirAsia Bhd Q4 Feb 24-28. Will the 4QE be good, bad or urgly? Heheheheh!!

Hahahahah....... HJey, the good news for 4Q:

(i) "Revenue" will hits record high.
(ii) "Operating Profit" will also touch record high (plus minus $400m). 3Q "OP" was at $291m.

Now the big question: will the 4Q "Profit after Tax" be dragged down again by the "Finance Costs" & "Foreign Exchange Losses on Borrowings" like what happenned in the 3Q (PAT: $35.5 million)?

Going forward into the 4Q, AA has taken action to reduce exposure as below:

(i) Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts
As at 30 September 2013, AirAsia Berhad has hedged approximately 52% of its dollar liabilities of its aircraft and engine loans into Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”) by using long dated foreign exchange forward contracts. The latest weighted average forward exchange rate of USD/MYR is 3.2238.

(ii) Interest Rate Hedging
As at 30 September 2013, the Group has entered interest rate hedging transactions to hedge against fluctuations in the USD Libor on its existing and future aircraft financing for aircraft deliveries from 2005 up to 2013.

Will the management action translate to better profit? Only time will tell! Heheheheheheh!!

Know When to Cut Your Losses, Folks! Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks!

Now the big question: Is AA losing its grip? Time will tell! Wakakakakakakakak!!

Wakakakakakakakakakak....folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks, folks!!

Challenges Can Expose the Truth. Only when the tide goes out do you discover who’s been swimming naked. AA or the competitors? Time will tell! Hahahahah!!

Stocks are bought on expectations, not facts. So folks what do you expect the 4QE be? Good, bad or urgly? Heheheheheheh!!

Hopeful of launching flights in India in next two-three months, Air Asia chief Tony Fernandes said the airline would introduce ‘dramatically’ low fares in the country, which would be cheapest and take air travel to masses.

AirAsia India is fully prepared for the launch and is waiting for final approvals that should come soon and help it begin flights by March-April this year.

“I think we are coming very close and March-April should be time when we should begin the India operations,” the Malaysia-based AirAsia’s CEO said.

Getting the final approval is easier said than done, folks! What will be next?

AirAsia X is suspending its services to Male, Maldives, effective March 1, 2014. Citing challenging business conditions as the reason for the move.

What next? Heheheheheheh!!

As highlighted in our 2014 Aviation Outlook report (dated 10 Jan 2014), airlines’ yield environment is expected to remain depress in 2014, mainly due to:

Hong Leong Investment Bank Research

1. Dampened domestic demand for air travel due to increasing cost of living and negative sentiments, as government continued subsidies cut and GST implementation in 2015.

2. Continued strong capacity growth of domestic airlines.

3. Airlines’ strategy to capture market share, through load active-yield passive strategy (offer low ticket prices to increase load factor).

VMY 2014 may boost tourist arrivals, but domestic airlines are unlikely to fully benefit from VMY 2014, as tourists prefer to travel with their own country-based airlines.

The airlines are still facing high jet fuel cost (60% of AirAsia’s operational cost) and depreciation of RM/US$, which will affect their margins in 2014.

AirAsia: Maintained Hold with unchanged TP: RM2.45! So will the 4QE be good, bad or urgly, folks? Heheheheh!!

Hahahahahahah!!

How? Hahahahahahahah!!!

New Delhi, Feb 11 (IANS) The Delhi High Court Tuesday refused to suspend the operationalisation of deal between Tata Sons and Malaysia-based AirAsia to create a low-cost airline in India.

Chief Justice N.V. Ramana and Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw, refusing to grant interim suspension of operationalisation of the $30 million deal, said: "We are not inclined to grant interim relief. However, we are granting expeditious hearing of the case."

The court has posted the plea of Bharatiya Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy for March 6. Hmmmmmmmm.........!!!!!!!

Malaysia AirAsia (MAA) posted record high load factor of 85% in the fourth quarter to Dec 31, 2013, up 3% as compared with the same period last year despite competitive pressures.

“Being seasonally its strongest quarter due to the holiday season, demand exceeded capacity with 14% increase in the number of passengers carried at 5.9 million and 10% increase in capacity, as a result of the company’s continuous load active yield passive strategy,” it said

So will the 4QE be good, bad or ugly? Only time will tell! Heheheheheheh!!

Well Dorky, Im still holding at a profit. Will I sell soon & back haunting AA again with negative news? Only time will tell! Wakakakakakakakak!!

Really........really? Hahahahahah!!

HJey, your day will come maybe not that soon. Let see how AA perform for the 4QE! Good, bad or ugly? Heheheheheheheh!!

XDL bubbles have burst. Remember folks, stock bubbles don't grow out of thin air. They have a solid basis in reality, but reality as distorted by a misconception. Heheheheh!!

Folks, sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make like buying XDL! Hahahahahaha!!

The Delhi High Court today reserves its interim order on a plea of BJP leader Subramanian Swamy seeking a stay on the operationalisation of USD 30 million deal between Tata Sons and Malaysia-based AirAsia.

"We will pass the order," a bench comprising Chief Justice N V Ramana and Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw said after hearing arguments of Swamy and Solicitor General (SG) Mohan Parasaran, who appeared for the Centre.

There you go, folks!!

Year High: 0.665 21/12/13
Year Low : 0.175 25/06/13

As per Bursa Announcement dated 23/1/14:
Adjustment on Exercise Price:
Before: 0.35
After : 0.35

Adjustment on Warrants:
Before: 241,998,950
After : 261,778,552

As a result of the Adjustment, 19,779,602 Additional Warrants is expected to be listed and quoted on the Main Market of Bursa Securities on 27 January 2014.

Yes folks, an additional 19,779,602! How? Will the candle continue to burn & melt? Hahahahaha!!

Based on this formula, the theoretical ex-right value would be RM0.3213. Instead of trading at that price, the stock rallied to an intraday high of RM0.665 on January 21, 2014.

Yesterday, the stock tumbled. Today it falls further. At the time of writing this post, XDL is trading at RM0.305. The reason for the drop: New shares will be quoted on January 27 and increasing the number of shares issued by 58%. Would the share price stabilize at the theoretical ex-right value would be RM0.3213? It is highly unlikely as a falling stock tends to overshoot on the downside. This proves that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

View here: http://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/nexttrade/45369.jsp

A melting candle, folks!!! Hahahahahahahha!!

Remember folks tomorrow is friday & the counter is more than 50% down from it year high at 0.665 recorded on 21/1/2014.

More aggresive dumping continue for days ahead? FYI year low was at 0.175 recorded on 25/6/2013!

Careful now! Hahahahahahah!!

Folks, why hang on to a stock that is depreciating? Hoping the shares would pick up again? But this is a very practical way to see your money melt down like a burning candle.

On this particular stock, sell when others are fearful & sell quickly when others are selling aggressively! How now? Hahahahahahahahah!!

Folks, someone stubbornly hold on to a stocks where they are making sizeable losses in the belief that they can exit when the price reaches their buying price. Most of the minds are not trained to acknowledge the fact that they have made a mistake and probably the best thing is to move on.

How now? Hahahahahaha!!

Folks, before you buy ask youself this question: Are you buying a disaster on its way down thinking you are averaging your costs?

Careful now! Hahahahahahah!

AA was a falling knife when some invested earlier! From rm3.17 on 19/08/2013 the share price has dropped to rm2.18 on 27/12/2013! An expensive lesson learned though for some!

Another falling knife, Dorky? Care to share your view on that? Only when the tide goes out do we discover who's been swimming naked! Hahahahahah!!

A falling knife! Careul folks!!

PATIENCE WEARING THIN: Caterham boss wants his team to be more competitive or he walks!

CATERHAM owner Tan Sri Tony Fernandes warned on Tuesday that he could walk away from Formula One unless his tail-end team showed significant improvement this season.

The Malaysian entrepreneur, who also runs Queens Park Rangers football club and the AirAsia airline, told reporters at the Caterham factory that there would be no point carrying on if the team remained uncompetitive.

Last year, Caterham finished last of the 11 Formula One teams while QPR were relegated from the Premier League.

Fernandes compared Formula One unfavourably to football, saying it was too predictable, too expensive, not exciting enough and with insufficient chances for underdogs to create an upset.

Fernandes said however that his words were not to be taken as an ultimatum and he was making a statement of intent because he believed Caterham would make the required progress at a time of huge technical change.

Asked whether he could also walk away from QPR if they failed to secure a quick return to the Premier League from the Championship (second tier), he shook his head. "No, because we are making progress. Even if we don't go up this season, we have made good progress.

"We have got to see progress. It's the same for AirAsia. If AirAsia was still a two plane operation and losing tons of money every year, you'd have to say 'Er, what's the point of carrying on guys?'" - Reuters

Yes you are right, Tony! Investors also want to see progress in Airasia share price! How? Hahahahahahahah!!

Remember folks, I bought in mid till end of December wheh others were fearful. At current price still holding at a profit as my average price at 2.27!

Now the big question: Will there be a big or an empty angpow packet from AA? Hmmmmm...Time will tell!

Hmmmmm... I'm here! heheheheeh!!

In what may further delay AirAsia's launch in India, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has asked all persons likely to be affected by the grant of scheduled air operator's permit to the airline to submit their suggestions and objections to the regulator within a period of 30 days.

Read more here: http://www.rediff.com/money/report/airasias-india-launch-may-see-further-delay/20140115.htm

So the big question: will Airasia be able to operate by March 2014 as mentioned by TF? The verdict on OP will only be out by 15/02/2014. Hmmmmm...!!
