KFIMA price is like going into winter time.... hibernation.

Strong buy interest today, sapu all 2.33.....

Hooi is selling and some other buying??

Is OLDTOWN another story many being sucked into?

Macam Air Terjun...

To buy back on weakness... when will it happen?
next week? next month? next quarter???

China Story? How many Malaysia company make it?

For layman, "Reserve arising from restructuring" = Reserve on Consolidation.

Goodwill only be recognised when it is 'purchased' and internally generated can't be captured as "Goodwill".

Effectively, for investor, Reserve arising from restructuring or Reserve on Consolidation is as good as Goodwill.

Debt 34.3b, how about asset? must view the picture as a whole.

There are always believers on both sides... therefore you have buyer and seller.

I 'hope' so.... in this Market, everybody is "believe", 'hope', 'expecting'...

GENTING won't dies.... just be happy... I'm still trading in between 8.70~9.00... to mitigate my paperloss...

Well written article. GOOD!

Conspiracy theory:

Hidden hand behind this counter.... those with less confident will be shaken out... when many out, the price will UP.

@Tan, I am not OLDTOWN fan, neither for its coffee or shares. I just read the AR for your questions. Accountant by profession, preparer for Annual Report/Quarter Report, so I know how to read a bit faster than normal people.

OLDTOWN is overvalued, for me - a subjective topic. Good luck and good investment for those who made money from this coffee company.

Not really a good counter for Value Investor. But it is better than AMEDIA, NICORP, HARVEST etc...

Hi Juggernault, how much dividend to be paid is almost determined already during the listing.

The Dividend Yield (based on current price RM1.37)is below 5%.

Better go to HEKTAR (small but steady) for better DY, lower risk.

The lower the DY, the higher the risk.

Note 7 (page 68) can not be read as "Cost of Sales".

Because it consists of more than "Cost of Sales"... it include the
1)Selling and distribution expenses
2)Administrative and general expenses

When a Group being crystallized for listing purposes, the so-called 'subsidiary' asset will be injected into the Group at higher price.

Therefore, the existing shareholders of the 'subsidiary' will be enriched.

I guess this is the main purpose of many company being listed.

BENALEC ~ A Patience Game.

No liquidity... can't invest too heavy into this Counter but still a good buy for below RM1.85

AMWAY was once, being investigated, in US and years later in CHINA as it may look like a Ponzi Scheme.

As long as a business is in a Productive manner of producing goods and sustainable because the Goods are demanded by customer for its quality and Value for Money, it is a REAL Business.

Can GENNEVA pass the test of Sustainability?
Can GENNEVA produce something that is Productive in Nature for the Consumption of Consumer?

Not sure if in particular order, but Health should Indeed the first priority for ALL.

Before we are "OLD", make sure don't trade health for 'wealth'...

We should be 'reasonably wealthy', not necessary filthy rich, so we can live into old age with dignity and happiness (without worry of money to pay bills...)

Sad but truth, many still believe GENNEVA is good and genuine.

If they pay you 36% and pay consultant for getting business and yet make profit, that is mean GENNEVA make > 50% per year.

Where got such good business?

@TAN Kian Wei, It is just a better way to present the "Goodwill" PAID for the subsidiary by the Holdings when they form the GROUP for listing purposes.

Year 2010 - Subsidiary = RM4.00
Year 2011 - Subsidiary = RM290,452,291.00

Just imagine, if this is not presented in Equity as "Reserve", the the Equity value will be higher by RM222m and the corresponding entry will be GOODWILL higher by RM222m.

Existing Goodwill = RM25.6m
If RM222m added into it, Goodwill = RM247.6m

No one like to invest in a company with such a BIG GOODWILL on Balance Sheet. OLDTown and its auditors found a valid and good reason to justify the accounting entry to make the books looks good.

Refer Page 77 & 112 of the Annual Report 2011.

Great sharing.... Hope you don't mind I reshare in my Google+..

Just practice and learn more along the way, non-stop....

Really wonder why GENTING left behind.... manipulated or market force??

GENM already back to 3.80 from low of RM3.30 few months ago...

Have no idea what to do now.

Patience is required...

Market up 11points with NO volume...

Am waiting to collect at RM1.10-RM1.13...

@KKLEE, KFIMA, buy today, still entitle Dividend.

@Pathew, the impact is very serious as FCPO is 3-Y low and Stock level is very high and going to be higher by end of the year.... Don't buy Plantation now.... have to wait awhile until the 'mist' disappeared.

Wonder what is the CPO price today...

Not really down yet.... just holding at above RM1.17 and may shoot.... may down... emm.... I am just have to WAIT patiently at LOW rather than risking my limited fund.

Saving is a mean to higher yield investment, not an end by itself.

Didn't buy any telcos.... if yes, can happily take profit today.

NEXT BIG dividend coming soon in NOV...

Emm... average down @ 2.02...

KFIMA - RSI indicates oversold. Time to buy more??

really challenging to move UP... Buy Hold Strategy for BENALEC.

Too much noises, be careful....

Myanmar? If you can't even manage local well, how to ensure can handle foreign investment/law/people??

Will re-enter at below RM2.25...

A Scheme like this, look alike a SCAM, can't sustain long...

Buy Plantation stocks, but not now.... at least let the knife settled down on the floor first. (Don't catch a falling knife).
