The election drop is not going to happen.
If everybody expects it to occur it will not happen because everybody would have taken precautions well ahead.
It happened in 2008 because nobody expected it.
I am still almost fully invested.

Revenue uptrend, but alas, the profit looks flat. Margins squeezed. Pass.

Risk is minimal in my opinion.

Be reminded: computers were purchased at > RM 10000, screws at RM5 per piece etc.

Hopefully it will not run too fast too soon.

Worse than rubbish. Rubbish can be recycled.

It has not reached its full potential

If you diversify enough, your returns follow the index. Does it make sense?

They are not stupid. It worked and it still works.

westerners - very few went for tuition classes. Yet when it matters they are smarter, more innovative and creative than asians. Well...some might not agree but anyway they are NOT less innovative or creative than asian kids who went for tuition. Why?

Asians will work for you, learn from you and open the same business next to you with lower prices and longer hours.

transformation: a process of change from low debt to high debt

Not that we know of.
But many very successful people do.
I believe in the wise saying: everything will be prosperous if family life is good.

Nothing much about family, the center of everything.
You can be very successful but family 'koyak' or own social life 'koyak'.

Don't forget:
BN: overseas property trust for rakyat. Rakyat's money used to buy properties overseas and held in 'trust' by the clean and transparent politicians.
Cow subsidies (no further explanation needed)
Now the answers are even clearer
BN: Harapkan pagar, pagar TIDAK makan padi

Buy it during the next SARS-like outbreak!

Only God knows how much was going on below the surface 3-4 yrs ago. It will probably cause our eyes to pop out.

'SKP as recommended by KCChong faced selling pressure by major shareholders but not Ivory.'

It would be nice if you can include syed-related stocks.

No need so complicated. Just get a piece of land for cows. No need to hire engineers.

In Sarawak there is no difference with or without Chinese bn mps. They failed to make any difference a long time ago.

Not going to happen.

Malaysia's debt healthy.
Hmmmm...who/what is healthier, Mahathir or Malaysia?
Difficult question.

At least they have not stolen anything...
Empty promises vs Cowgate.

Mamak? also clean and transparent. Heard son owns san Miguel. So if got free beer all year round can consider.

Ah Jib, Muhydin, both clean and transparent. How to choose?

Ah jib, ah Jib....very clean, very transparent.

I know, I know....we need Ah Jib. He satisfies all the above criteria.

Going for automatic dissolution. Probably voting will be in May, a few weeks before Keamatan and Gawai. How convenient for the young voters.

If I am not mistaken, Warren Buffett has never published his methodology. The closest that anyone can get is the book written by his daughter in law. If you think that is too heavy ( like me) read the Guru Investors.

No politician in their right mind will antagonize the civil servants. There will be no retrenchments. Only more bonuses and raise.

Jacko...
you are not clear on concept here.
What they might mean is that we are the best among the corrupted.
Do not compare corrupted nation with (mostly) clean nation.
Compare corrupted with corrupted.
We are clearly tops.
YEAH!! I think we all feel better now.

'why don't u compare Malaysia with Thailand, the Philippines, Mynmar, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Somalia, Bangladesh...and the list goes one...where are we? Why compare with Singapore?'
That is good one. Now why didn't we thought of that before......
Now we all know what to tell our kids.

'And this is what we like about Malaysia: Predictable, easily shaken and easy to make money with very little capital outlay!'

Alternatively, fly to Mindanao, and follow the instructions from there on. Pretty simple.

5-10 YRS? By then our dear leaders will be so happy overseas.

1% of 50 billion (what is publicly known) = 500 million.
I am sure you can afford to say that.

Keep it simple. Avoid it. Then you do not have to worry about the legal news.

and before I forget
4. our history is 3 x more accurate than theirs and
5. while others were still talking about the possibility of space tourism, we have already achieved it.
I love Malaysia .

Ooi,
Don't just look at earnings. Money / income is not everything.
Consider this,
1. our students study 3 x more moral studies / religion than them.
2. we have 3 x more corrupted officials than them.
3. we are 3 x more democratic than them. Why, because phantoms, ghosts and the dead can vote.
4. we have 3x more dead wood than them.
all these are our achievements
