Hope that today's price surge is real and not just a year-end "window-dressing".

If Company has started to buy back it's shares as it has now for a number of days, I prefer to act a little now rather than wait. Best of luck!

Note...Top loser on Bursa at this time -0.18 sen. A lot has been buying on hope, so some temporary "indigestion" unavoidable. Be patient. Cheers.

Shhh..too much noise, let's focus on Kenaga>>

sorry..correction ..the site is http://www.mswg.org.my/

http://www.mswg.org.my/....would they be able to help with a "stronger" voice? No...not to clamour for their resignation..impossible!..Press them with the policy to set aside 50% of their annual profits for dividends, instead of hoarding cash and more cash, which if not made to good use for growth is poor and inefficient management.

FAO.>>Kadir Almushayah > Nov 30, 2017 10:31 AM Re Your post....

No..- 2020 = Wawasan 2020...But RM22 is also quite close to Affin-Hwang TP of 21.80 in 2018....Right now, more important is to figure out at what price to start collecting/accumulating on this down trend. What's your figure, approx.?

Hi..Kadir Almushayah..NO. not selling, as the valuations to date are still intact. The future??..unfortunately I cant predict or be able to determine TP except to go by "feel" that a certain figure is apt like "2020" which on hindsight should have acted, but "greed" took over!

Thanks for your thoughts. Irrespective, tech stocks have gone up too fast and some too high and will now suffer from some kind of "indigestion"...but I wouldn't sell my KESM at current prices.

If you compare the Top 30 Share Holdings from the KESM Annual Report, 2015/16 and earlier, vs 2017, you will notice a big change in ownership- a number of Funds/institutions are now on the top-30 list in the 2017 rpt.

hmm..for me to BUY...timing at 19.00

wah RM22/?? >>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GixXHySGFMg

not 20x but 10x....KESM was stagnant at around RM2/- 2012-2013...

20.20 done at 16:05:01

please make it real to see you hit "2020"....and into uncharted territory!

Yep..a very much "controlled" share, so ...1.33 is a fair and safe price to park for "bottom fishing", until 3rd Qtr results are announced.

http://www.theedgemarkets.com/content/evening-5-sime-darby-posts-best-ever-quarterly-results#.Wg4o6Q43Z_Y.link

so can Keck Seng in the forth-coming quarterly results....any "sifu" please care to comment. Thanks.

a different pic today...looks like has hit bottom ....limited shares in circulation = insiders' delight.

Comparing with United Malacca (almost like business, both "Plantations", Umcca has support from EPF and the Foreign Funds (please see the announcements lately in change in substantial holdings)....and because of the continued buying, Umcca is moving up. Why has Keck Seng been side-lined if it is "so good for long term investment"?

Re that "tax credit", was it an "oversight" or was there a reason for the Company not claiming the benefit so that that the Company may get other benefits in return. Was this question ever raised in the AGM?

Prices of Keck Seng in the past have never behaved this way as it is not a "speculative" stock. Support is weak and sellers are eager to sell in blocks eg>> "12:24:03 PM - 4.500 - 20,000 Seller"...put up for sale after opening prices at 4.80. Which trader in the right mind would want to push prices down on a stock like Keck Seng hoping to buy at lower prices unless with privileged information.

Why sellers threw in "blocks" at 1.33 yesterday and this morning too at 1.31...? we have yet to see the new "bottom".

oops!!...9 lots at 4.83, new recent low against closing price of 4.90, thrown in one block to buyer at 4.83 at 12:16:32

Following the historical trend on Keck Seng past Bonus Issues =
Nov.1995 and Mar.2011, both 1 for 2, time is now ripe for a Bonus Issue in 2017 or 2018, + that special 50 sen special anniversary we look forward to, will reward the loyal and patient share holders.

Come Y.E. 2018, Keck Seng, founded in 1968, would commemorate with special bonus/dividend, we expect.

We are now not in the speculative DOTCOM era of year 2000...prices are now based on fundermentals...Quote...One Analyst Research Equity firm maintains its target price of RM21.80 based on 17x calendar year 2018 EPS....etc...

how u arrive at that 'magic figure'? i am no chartist, but i "feel" 17.7...well we are together enjoying the "ride"...But with KESM, anything goes because of the very small free float.cheers!

sokong->>opportunity to buy back 15.80 to those who have sold higher...good luck!

So is our money "stuck" too while some other stocks move forward!

Wouldn't it be wonderful if they also transfer the figures to deeds and say>>
"Come Fly with Me"..?

Please take a look at the price chart at....
https://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/stk/chart/3476.jsp

The last unusual surge was because investors/punters expected that tax credit special dividend which never materialized. Since then it was on down trend and range bound at RM5/-. What is there in store in Keck Seng for the next upsurge from this point on?

I kept buying on dips e.g. today, after opening at 5.10 towards close sellers are prepared to throw to me at 5.00. Stamina running out, and have to "call it a day" !

Today's trading movement and before close "matching" prices at RM5.04 looks encouraging., foreign exchange losses if any discounted.

http://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/keck-seng-shareholding-changes-did-not-trigger-mandatory-general-offer

Looks like it might head in the same direction as WINGTM in a matter of time. If the Company just sit and do nothing, the share price will stagnate as tired holders dispose. No amount of prayers will help, except to benefit the controlling shareholders.

Those "die-hards" like me who have so much faith in Keck Seng, hoping that the Company will one day re-structure the business for the benefit of all the shareholders, but in the meantime will also declare some special dividends (eg United Malacca)... nothing happens except to gaze at the ballooning cash hoard with awe!
Go > privatise it, so we can start a new chapter and move on!

SAB is not for "short-term speculators"...yep-agreed!
Rather than let EGO guide us,..."put money where mouth is" and show the $..

Do not miss this Boat..!

Interesting announcement yesterday in Bursa Company Announcement>

http://www.bursamalaysia.com/market/listed-companies/company-announcements/5460745
Maybank Inv Bank had to announce that they acquired in open market a total of 10,875,900 shares at 1.80/share on June 14-2017.

I have not noticed any announcement earlier by Maybank IB of those who bought earlier at 1.78/1.79 in bulk.Who were they?...Am I correct that this is the first announcement ever made that WTM has bought in the open market?

sokong!...let's focus on KESM, set aside EGO on who is right or wrong and move foward. t.q...

thanks to all the positive comments.....let us enjoy the ride...be it share split and or bonus issue or special dividend.

Hi...does anyone here know when Keck Seng last revalued it's fixed assets and in what year Annual Account was it shown? Thank You!

yes....enjoy the ride...
http://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2017/06/02/kesm-to-see-strong-structural-growth-ahead/

thanks for sharing,...yes pick them up when they are in the "dumps" with good NTA to support and just be patient. ..see this

http://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2017/05/27/takeover-offer-for-wing-tai-malaysia-seen-undervalued/

yep! could it turn out to be like T.Store which upped the first offer from about 3.54 to 3.70?

Diamond??...not even if it found gold! It is about time Keck Seng set aside at least half the profit made yearly for dividend payout as it has already accumulated a bumper cash hoard. Please tell that to the BOD at the forthcoming AGM.
Thanks.

If that be the case, why none of the directors or the Company buy back the shares at these depressed discounted prices. Brem directors kept buying back their shares for months at 80 sen up. Look at it's price now. This question is best raised at the forthcoming AGM.

If I hope and hope for the best, I will end up with frustration, so it is best not to hope when one buys at current basement prices of 5.10, cum that 6% dividend, it as a "bargain" !

Calvin Tan..tq for your analysis of Jaks = makes sense...eg using NTA as one of the yard-sticks. I much prefer to invest in a "turn-round" stock which you have written in this link >>> https://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/stk/7004.jsp, rather than Jaks..Cheers!

tks Wiwangwang...noted. I entered earlier on its downward correction averaged at 1.41 using yardstick NTA as one of the guides. If it does drop to 1.31= opportunity. Note year 2013, in March it ran up to 2.30+ with correction along the way.

NTA is one indicator that I have always used to decide a particular share I am interested to invest in. It is not to be completely ignored...eg > takeover offer of IGB by Goldis.....NTA mentioned...so in the case of KPS, why not? With this in mind, I gauge that 1.30 reflects a "safe" price to enter but be prepared to HOLD mid-term!!
