@bryan, why do you say that? just want an opinion.

As an investor, I would like to invest in a company that is growing, year after year, quarter after quarter. I think only Hua yang fits that criteria here.
My emphasis has always been on growth, with manageable debts of course.

next catalyst will be a pandemic, something like SARS

Whose son in law's company will it be?

Datuks set up private colleges, lure students. Students borrow, give to datuks as tuition fee, datuks make profit, students graduate, find no job because of glut, cannot pay PTPTN, government lose money.
Basically in simplified equation, money from government to money to datuks via students.

Base on what is coming soon, but not on last year's performance, the dividend will be generous.

Don't change hotel room too.

Come to think of it, if index drops 500 points many investors will be jumping with glee....
Thank you CSL, now I know what to do at the ballot....

Lesson to be learnt: Never change anything, even bed partner

I remember a few years back, our export version bags 2 stars in , was it Europe? Local version? i.e if there is such a thing.

3 stars out of how many? 3 out of 3 and we should be popping champagne. 3 out of 6?

Unfortunately safe cars are always expensive in Malaysia.
Drive a good car for the safety.
No point spending hundreds on life insurance premium which will be paid out after you have died in a car accident in which your death could have been totally preventable if your car was good.

Read in one of the 'Little Book' that if you put your money with the investment houses, after 26 years they will have more money than you do. That is the absolute return they are interested in.

A bit susahlah. You see the PR people do not have the psychic ability to campaign to the dead, phantoms, ghosts and souls.

wheel of freebies and dice...how appropriate

"the key organ is the stomach"

Another idea. Johore go first. Win to give them more wind.

Good guess. They might face some criticism for picking such a date but then again do they, or have they ever cared?

Will pick a date which will make it inconvenient for people who are likely to vote for opposition to go back and vote.

Can caya! They all have A++ in history.

Wait for epidemic / pandemic. Then these stocks will go up like rocket.
It is not whether it will happen, but when...

I wonder what separates those regular losers and those who goes really bust kind of losers.

Don't be in a hurry. wait. But shopping time will come.
Just don't hold junk.

Buying unit trust from FSM is easy and hassle free. Selling even easier. In fact, I am going to sell all my holdings in FSM in the next few days. Should take no more than 5 mins. It is that easy.

The Glutton protocol: If you are going to get kicked out of a restaurant, eat all you can, fatten yourself to last a few generations before being kicked out.

The normal politicians can.
But our politician, the 'rakyat first, performance now' type, they can see further than that. They see a "blue ocean".

The reasons for our success:
1. medium of instruction. We are what in the investment world called "contrarian". Others use English, we use .... well you know.
2. speed of change. We change our syllabus almost yearly in 'rapid' response to needs. Of course with change comes new textbooks, new stationery etc which of course is sourced from .... someone's son in law, I suppose.
3. good leaders, who are in NO WAY corrupt. Leaders who have work from the cow ranch and up. We call them cowboys.
4. lessons from the pigs and whores of the leaders.

Come to think of it, this is perhaps partly due to the current political situation. Any one who wishes to have power will have to keep the government servants happy -- increasing salaries and bonuses-- and indirectly keeping bank rakyat, aeon credit, RCE and MBSB very happy

related to a Tan?
Ok!

To illustrate my point, after their children study overseas (and sometimes they themselves), they found that they have become immoral pigs and whores. So they introduced lots of moral and religious classes in our schools, in the hope that our kids do not become pigs and whores like their kids (or themselves).
Point proven.

We have the best education system in the world. When our very smart politicians send their children overseas, it is to see the FAILINGS of the overseas education system, not because ours is no good.
You see they sacrifice the education of their own children for us RAKYAT.
So now you appreciate them????

Analyst's optimism bordering on manic disorder. Lithium recommended.

Note the word "octogenarian". What is after octogenarian? Novengenarian?

Is HSL related to the Octogenarian Pek moh?

"....and the positive effects of the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) trickle down on to the average man on the street."
You mean ... it has not trickled or tricked down to us yet!!!? Sure is VISCOUS.

Labor is painful
So is the rebirth of a nation.
Unavoidable.

kcchongnz, what makes mudajaya stands out is that it does this all the time. Most of its company announcements are concerned with share buyback followed by esos.
How can the share value goes up if the 'lucky' employees with eSos keeps cashing in the gain?

Thank you lawrencelim.
But I was thinking. In this ESOS scheme, the employee gets to buy a share of mudajaya @ 1.90 per share. That is immediate gain of 80 sen per share.
Who in is right mind would not exercise the option. If it goes to hardworking deserving employees, it is ok.
But isn't it open to abuse by certain parties?

Sorry for being repetitive, but this question has been nagging me for months.
"Can anyone tell me why mudajaya keeps buying back it's own shares at market price and issuing esos at below market price. Who are the employees getting the esos? Does it mean the beneficiary of the esos gets instant profit? Will it affect the price of mudajaya? Do they have to do it whole year round?"
TQ

CMS. If federal change pek moh will be in shit. But then again, he might follow the wind....

This discussion is unthinkable just 5 years ago.

Don't worry about crony company. I mean, don't you trust them? they look sooooooo sincere. They are all for small investors.

"With regards to the possible election outcome, Joey Yap does not know the answer. But based on the political leaders' prospects looking at their dates of birth, (he said) Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak's prospects are better than that of Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim," said CIMB head of equity research Terence Wong in a note to clients yesterday.

That from " head of equity research" to clients?
My goodness.

The year when all the greasy guys got kicked out?

Maybank and CIMB are not hidden gems. They are 24 carat diamonds.

Thanks sense, for reminding us of the minimum wage policy. That will have an impact I am sure. Otherwise it is a case of increasing revenue, profits and reducing debts.

Prolexus?

Out of the different businesses Kfima is involved in, which one is the main one? Plantation?

Huayang, Aeon Credit, Padini
