throx I hope everyone understand that even if government approve BJTOTO to accept betting online (via an app), the users still has to be non-muslim Malaysian only....

I disagree because handphone and computer appliances do not ask the owners their religious beliefs in the registration process. It's absurd for there to exist a Muslim handphone or a Hindu laptop. Hence orders placed via these devices will not reveal any details of religion.

ironcrowz All the divisions has been doing badly.
TQ for your insights.

Even with brick & mortar, there are many Muslims buying. There's a signboard that discourages Muslims at the entrances of the outlets but many still patronise. With small bets, it gives people some hope to strike it big.

There are so many ways to circumvent the barring of Muslims like getting others to buy or buying from illegals etc. The Govt & the people should realise that legal Btoto has contribute lots to the coffers which I believe has benefited all religions.

If they want to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs then the religious preachers should not complain if the treasury squeezes the rakyat in other forms like raising the GST. There's a lot of truth in the doctrine "No Money No Talk".

mamatede Tomorrow gonna jump, world oil price boom.

If you read the last quarterly Petron financials, it stated that the gross margins i.e. crack spread fell because of faster rise in crude relative to product prices. Hence it's not good for Petron.

Ng Shu Tsung - if insider trading involves share buyback in the interest of shareholders, then it should be allowed. I hope this sudden surge in buying is due to this.

Insider trading as I've always suspected is alive. SC will normally inspect the CDS accounts of the key personnel to check any movements before price-sensitive info is released but there are still ways to get around.

In the US, they go to the extent of wire-tapping.

The fact that price is reacting adversely before the announcement could imply insider trading is alive & well or perhaps investors taking bets that performance will be bad

Melissa Ooi - this stock has been sliding & sliding but you seem optimistic.

I'm curious - are you an independent analyst, a BToto employee, a fund manager or working for the syndicates?

You can be truthful since none of us know each other.

Guys - let's look from the big perspective. There's no free lunch.

Destiny / God is not going to allow you to make money by simply shifting papers, making a few clicks & a few phone calls. There are people out there who make a tiny fraction of your potential gain through real hard work. The man up there is going to make sure that he gets his pound of flesh from you before you enjoy the gains if any.

Even gold from the earth cannot just be extracted easily where you can just put the gold nuggets into your pocket & walk away. Some extractors do some sort of animal sacrifice. One must give to get something. Some call it sacrifice.

So we have to sweat it out first before we can reap the gains.

If the major shareholder or any of the board or senior management were to sell then, it would require disclosure.

So it can be implied that this recent meltdown was caused by small players coupled with the lack of trading liquidity.

It could also be foreign portfolio investors being bearish about the country hence cashing in on their gains whilst the exchange rate is good.

MelissaOoi Berjaya Sports Toto Bhd - TQ Melissa.

I interpreted the bursa's announcement as BToto losing the case especially in the light of the share price moving to historic lows.

I guess the management at Toto should be taught to communicate in simple English - saying it plainly after all that legal & corporate gibberish like "BToto won. Why? because ...".

21 Nov announcement states that ESOS was offered to employees with a strike at 0.99. Now surely these employees have skin in the game and they are sore.

But I'd expect them to work hard and pour in all their creative juices to get this company on track to profitability. If the share price wanders too far below the strike, then Tony may see good employees leaving and he (and we) will be left with the duds.

Dear Sheldon,

please kindly enlighten me the follow
1. in which occasion i did not exercise the virtue of being humble ?
2. do you consider the example or calculation i use to illustrate the strategy "buy more earn more " is an act of counting the chickens before they hatch that will bring bad lucks.

why ?

you comments have confused me. I do not know what you are up to ?

Mr Halite - While I'm appreciative of your views, the notion of humility also includes not being extremely dogmatic in your convictions to extent of brushing-off other issues of concern. Such bullish convictions I've noticed often seem to be followed by a downturn. Don't take it too personally - I'm just superstitious - take it easy bro.

Believe me - save for a small minority, we never learn what to do during a bull and bear.

We think we do but we tend to repeat the same behavior again and again. That's the hard truth.

Mr Halite - I've been as investor/speculator on Bursa for more than 2 decades. Whilst your intentions are good and you seem to speak from the heart, it's my observation on numerous occasions that it's best to humble oneself and not to count the chickens before they hatch.

That's bad luck.

what could be the likely cause of such a sellout?

1. Investors classify it in the same kettle of fish as Hengyuan

2. Margin traders do not have the cash to pick up hence force sold

3. care to add anyone.....?

Tunepro product has no visibility like Digi or Air Asia. The reason is that the so-called staff like to look good in the Annual Report.

I just observed that Dutchlady's EPS for the year was 184 and its share price = 70. Petron's EPS 150 share price = 11.40.

Maybe because the food industry is less risky. Another key difference is Dutchlady's generous dividend payout.

The reason for the rise in price of late I believe is due to a recent report that the government may want to resolve the tax matter instead of taking the matter to court and leaving shares in a limbo.

Sigh! about time. No investors would like to be hit with taxes out of the blue. Once paid and 7 years are up, it should be done.
