Tomorrow looks interesting, should end the day higher. Hope they'll stop playing the silly game of pushing it up and and then down. For Lim's sake they should now reverse the play.

Only from one of his hired help. Also somewhere far down the line of authority

To be fair to him, he did not get the assurance from KKP.

Calvin, what happened to PMCORP's cash payout? Luckly I cashed out before the share dropped back to the current price. To be on the safe side, I shall wait for the company to declare first.

Spoke too soon! I guess this will be the theme until announcement.

Up up and away again. Approval from Bursa this week?

Asamlaksa, I intend to hold CMSB after the split and bonus issue. Approvals from Bursa seem to be fast tracked. This lull in the share price can be a good entry point. The giant is showing signs of growing stronger and the moat getting deeper and wider for the competitors.

Even with the vast difference in price, I feel more comfortable owning CMSB than PMCorp. Granted, MPCorp has huge potential and one year from now, its performance may outstrip that of CMSB. Come what may, I'll still be happy with what CMSB can offer.

MPcorp's major problem is management.

Asamlaksa, usually takes how long to get Bursa approval?

Jackpot machine still jammed. Sourcing for funds for spare parts. Your patience will be rewarded.

Up slow and steady is good.

Pang72, couldn't believe my luck when share dropped so much. Last few days, wanted to get in but the price kept shooting up. My lucky day!

JCash, fully agree with you.

My gut feeling CMSB will be the star for 2014. Somehow, I feel very confident of this counter. I think we'll hear more good news in the future.

Should move up again, as I think this exercise is to shake up the contra players. Went in again at 10.20.

Jackpot machine temporary jammed.

Hahaha! To think of it, it sounds more like jackpot machine!

Bones, you start cash register? What's your estimated price for the rights?

Liausan, very very wise indeed! Congrats!

Neohts, never say never.

Calvin, price of MPCorp shares should be much better because of it's land location. Can explain why current price is still stuck around 39-40 sen?

Perhaps Christine should join the Stock Pick 2014 contest.

Invest88, thanks! Hope it's true. Even if not true at this price still a good investment. Will hold tight tight and hope for the best. For dividend income can even masuk lagi.

Invest88, can give broad hint who orang besar is?

Icon, Lohman, well said. Situations keep on changing. It can be boardroom decisions, the weather, economic climate, politics. The super investor, digests them all and often than not makes the right decision. As for JT the jury is supposed to be out three years from now. But I'm sure Mr Koon will react to safeguard his sizeable investments before the three years are up if they are at risk. Shouldn't we too?

ICON8888, very refreshing insight to your investment techniques. We wish for more contributions from you. Wish you all the best in your future endeavours. Also, kudos to Mr Koon for his passion in the stock market and for sharing. For me, I'm happy because I'm finding many other ways to pack a bag.

mc121534, have you experienced loan recall, OD recall or margin with RM100mil at stake? How is it like?

Very balanced and fair posting Alphabeta. You can have the best share tip in the world, but the grey matter between the ears can still make the worst of it. Who to blame/

I fully share your views. Great management.

Hopefully we back the right horse! We are not after crumbs.

He is having a big headache now as Bioosmo is moving down some more.

Bobby, ever wonder why MD said things WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR? In his position, he should know better - the power of the media. Unless... there I go again.

Thanks David. Hope for bonus issue to prep-up the share. If it does happen, RM3 is achievable in 2014.

Hi David! Care to explain why your expected target is RM3?

I wonder whether MD spends more time on oil or water business.

It is good if Thundercat participates in Stock Pick 2014. It will be fun as well as educational. However, to be fair to all participants, his submissions should start from today, 01.01.14. He can still submit a stock pick if purchased in the last week of December 2013.

CP Teh is considered a newbie but he is willing to learn and brave enough to predict. Give him a chance for he will only get better.

Hi Kassim! Thanks for your update. With new players `appearing from nowhere' and bagging jobs from Petronas, lets hope Tgoffs can still survive. I'm sure that they must be doing all they can to `keep their heads above water', sea water that is!

kcobra, I think the purchase of sub oil rigg(s) is still on. Just my intution only.

kcobra, care to let us know why we have to wait for jan/feb for price upswing? Do you expect price to fall further? If so, at what price is it safe to collect?

Trustme932... Can help to read Tgoffs for me? Thanks in advance!

Temuai, any reason why?

Maukaya, respect your contribution. Good management is so so important. I have spent considerable time and investments on this counter and patience is running thin! Anyway, who is the new shareholder?

JTFX, Maukaya, who is the new shareholder? Lightweight or heavyweight?

Maukaya, I quite agree with you, their connections with government looks lightweight. After all the publicity of buying the oil rig(s), which happened a long time ago, still no rig(s) to show. In business, especially with the government, one doesn't embark on a new venture unless one is confident that their contacts can fulfil their promises. They are probably in a dilemma. Announce purchase of rig(s) before securing lease or announce lease first before securing rig(s). It is possible, at the moment, they have neither! Maukaya, if you have invested in TGOFFS, what would do? Jump ship or wait patiently till it reach port?

YiStock, correct, as long as maintenance costs are manageable. Nevertheless, to be honest, I'm sure we are all still apprehensive of Songa Venus's age. I think, purchase of this rig is a stop-gap measure for TGOFFS. They have a rig which is already operational and capable of churning income. As long as the purchase improves the bottom line, why not?

YiStock, please translate.

Old as the rigs may be, if they can do the job with minimal disruption to production, should be ok. Petronas is not going to pay around US21 mil per contract, unless they are happy with the job done. Also, since the performance of the rigs is known to Petronas, rehiring should be easier.

YiStock, results of my research on Songa Venus and Songa Mercur. Both are semi-sub rigs. Songa Venus begun operations in 1975 and Songa Mercur in 1989. Both the rigs are currently operating off Vietnam through companies contracted by Petronas. Songa Venus is under contract to end October 2013 and Songa Mercur's contract runs into 2014. From the info, it is likely that TGOFFS will purchase Songa Venus first and Songa Mercur later in 2014 (if that is their plans to buy two). Announcement soon? The owners are putting these two rigs up for sale, their oldest in a fleet of 5, as they require funds to finance four new rigs they ordered.
