is it fair to run this analysis based on 3 months of returns during a bull market run?

Posted by kcchongnz > 2013-11-04 14:26 | Report Abuse

haikeyila, you may be right. It may be too early too judge the true performance of an investment portfolio just for a three month period. A lot of it could be due to luck too.

But how do you define a bull market? A market return of just 2.1% from 1773 to 1810 in three months a bull market?

And how to explain the excess return of of the portfolio of more than 20% over the broad market as all luck?

And how do you explain that there are so many hot stocks like KNM, Rsawit, MKLand, Smartag, Amedia etc which have been stuck at near historical low all this while?

surely you dont need the market to be up 100% before calling it bull? im not doubting your stock selection, i have some of those stocks too, but the conclusion drawn up in the article may be premature.

YEAH FULLY AGREE WITH YOU THAT ONE NEEDS NOT LOOK AT 100% RETURN TO CONSIDER IT AS A BULL MARKET. BUT DID YOU CONCLUDE THAT THE RISE OF KLSE BY JUST 2.1% AS A BULL MARKET? IS THAT CONSIDERED AS A BULL MARKET AS CLAIMED BY YOU?

THE CONCLUSION OF THE ARTICLE WRITTEN BY ME AS APPENDED AS BELOW. SO WHAT IS PREMATURE AS CLAIMED BY YOU? AND WHAT IS YOUR CONCLUSION IF ANY?


[It does appear to confirm that small market capitalization and good value (not necessary book-to-market ratio but other value metrics) may explain the excess return. However, it beats me to think that small market capitalization and good value carry additional risks and hence the explanation of excess return.

So is the market in Malaysia efficient? Does the excess return due to the additional risks carried? For me I highly doubt so.]

kc, maybe cause u wrote in upper caps. That can be interpreted as shouting by some...
anyway, for me, there is a large margin of safety holding these type of small caps if u hv a long investment horizon... in the short run, these stocks may be speculated n manipulated due to their low liquidity.. it goes up very fast over short period n could be sold down just as fast... Not for reasons due to fundamentals...

hi kcchongnz,
Congrates on your impressive return. Will Fama 3-factor model be a more appropriate way of explaining the stock return in this case? Since small cap and value firms tend to outperform the market. Thanks.

And this guy talked cynically like this as if I was shouting for attention to this blog put up by Tan KW. What for?

The recent spike in a few good small-mid cap stocks (Fibon, Homeritz, YOCB, Willow, etc) did caught me at a surprise, including the like of Insas and PM Corp. Well, it seems to me that the market is suddenly "chasing" for these counters which had been neglected in the past. I don't know if this kind of price increase is "healthy" for the long term investors or the company itself. Does it create a temptation to directors to sell down their stake or trading their own shares? Does it attract punters or contra players to these counters? Yeah, like you said who doesn't want double digit return in a short period? However, we all know that those value investing gurus achieved their impressive return over a long period, not 3 months or even 6 months ... So I m actually concern over the unusual gain given the short period of time.

Hi: I read quite a lot of your posts, therefore I am familiar with your ways of bringing out your points or expressing yourself. But be frank, for those who are not familiar with you especially those who are not used to direct-style, your ways are a bit forcing. If you can use more substantiations and explanations instead of forcing questions to strengthen your points, I believe it will encourage further discussion in a more relaxing mode. My 2 cents only.

I support the above comment by Avocado_C on Nov 4, 2013 08:41 PM as I have a very similar thought that “……..value investing gurus achieved their impressive return over a long period, not 3 months or even 6 months ... So I m actually concern over the unusual gain given the short period of time.”

In fact, I expect you to support that right believe and strengthen it by giving further substantiations and explanations. Or you may disagree.

Bsngpg,
I am not as a courteous a person as you are. My style is direct as you rightly say so. My point is we are discussion about investing here and I have my strong opinion. I don’t like to beat around the bush and not bring forward the right message. It is just me.

Regarding your statement that “your ways are a bit forcing. If you can use more substantiations and explanations instead of forcing questions to strengthen your points, I believe it will encourage further discussion in a more relaxing mode”, I am not sure what you mean.

Let’s look at this comment here which I initially appreciated and thought that a good discussion would follow suit, and my response.

He is making a statement that it is a bull market and I asked is it considered a “bull market” when the rise of the market is only 2.1% in three months? Is that too “forcing” a question?

I put up my reasoning that Fama’s three factor model, i.e. CAPM, size and value may or may not explain the excess return of the portfolio and he said my conclusions is premature. He did not give any substantiations though. So I asked him what is his conclusion and reasoning then.

So is this question “forcing”? Can you tell me what “more substantiations and explanations” are required as stated by you? Or can you tell me how to ask questions and engage in a useful discussion without “appearing” that it is “forcing”?

“Value portfolio managers buy and sell judiciously, choosing today’s ugly duckling that shows the promise of becoming tomorrow’s beautiful swan.”

Avocado, I have/had all the small-mid cap stocks you mentioned above except YOCB. So allow me to give my opinion about your concern.
I have looked into the business and studied the financial performance, balance sheet and cash flow of all the companies above before investing on them. You can read my opinion and analysis of them in i3. The analyses are for sharing purposes and not for enticing anybody to buy or sell their stocks.

I invested in Fibon, Homeritz and Willow based on their earnings, cash flow and healthy balance sheets. Insas and PM Corp on their strength of balance sheet, or more specifically Graham net-net situations. So I have my own perception of their intrinsic values. Yes, they were mostly neglected counters at the time I first looked at them but to me they all worth investing (not punting) with their own values and other merits as explained.

When would I want the ugly ducklings to become beautiful swans? When would I hope that their “true” intrinsic value to be discovered and stock price moves towards that “intrinsic” value? To me now or the soonest the better. Why not? If the stock prices have moved towards the intrinsic value, I could sell them earlier and realize the gain earlier. I can put my money now to invest in other ugly ducklings (which hopefully would turn into beautiful swans later) and make more profit; or I can just put the money and earn fixed income return. Can’t we? Why would I want to “hope” for the value to realize in say 5 or 6 more years time? Do you appreciate time value of money?

If you feel uncomfortable about the fast gain in such a short period or worry about the directors selling down or frying their stocks, why can’t you sell your stocks now and realize those extra-ordinary profit now? I would. Why would you prefer to realize the same profit in 5 or 6 years time?

My opinion is that one shouldn’t be sentimental about a stock. If you think its price has run up too fast and beyond its intrinsic value, sell it and move on. A great company doesn't mean it is a great investment, if the price is not right. Agree?

Bsngpg, this is just simply dollar and cents question. What “further substantiations and explanations” do I need to give?

Couldnt agree more on this statement...but hard to practice.. once a lot of time n effort been spent on researching the company... its hard not to be biasesd or sentimental... to move on and look for another gem is not easy even though the stock researched earlier is almost fully valued...

林俊松, by coincident I read a few of your posts. I refrained from commenting as I find that often it is not worth to comment when it doesn't concern me and instead attracting personal attacks at the end. It is 吃力不討好, 好努力去做d野係諗出於好心幫助的，但係得黎既只係反效果～例如俾人討厭！

But since you specifically asked me, I will give you my opinion. Bear in mind that in order to convey my message rightly, I have to be blunt.

The good thing about you is you are young. You have a good education and a career. You don't have much opportunity to waste your hard earned money as you are working in a place where there is not much opportunity to spend money. So you would do well financially. That is provided you don't waste away your money.

Work hard for your job, safe and invest wisely and you would have a great financial future. Indulge in gambling especially with insiders and manipulators in the stock market can end up the other way.

The bad thing is you don't know about investing. Simply buying and selling stocks based on what people say and rumours and hope to make a fortune to me is simply a gambling endeavour.

“If you've been playing poker for half an hour and you still don't know who the patsy is, you're the patsy.”― Warren Buffet

So first learn about investing. Understand that in every stock, there is a company behind it. The future price of a stock must be dependent on the future prospect of its business. Learn and read a lot about investment, financial statement interpretation and analysis, time value of money, valuations etc everything about finance and investment. Believe me, this stuff is much easier than high level maths statistics. Stand behind those investment giants; Warren buffet, Peter Lynch, Charles Munger, Philip Fisher, Ben Graham etc. Read and learn about their investing philosophies. Practice, practice and practice and you would get better in what you have learned and do.

Regarding the stocks you asked, you can read about what others say, including mine. More important you must have the knowledge and ability to evaluate yourself, correctly. Do they talk sense? Do they back up with good reasoning? Have you checked yourself? Nobody can help you except yourself.

Posted by 林俊松 > 2013-11-05 17:52 | Report Abuse

Ok, thanks. I will read a lot to improve myself.
Mind to guide me how on judging a company is good to invest?
Which are the key indicator that I should take into account: PE ratio, ROE, 5-years revenue, 5-years epf?
In the meanwhile, could you tell me why you pick Insas instead of TA?
Since TA price lower, NTA hgher, 5-years revenue consistently higher.

Posted by kcchongnz > 2013-11-05 18:14 | Report Abuse

林俊松, That is the right attitude to learn about investing.

For me before buying the stock of a company, i will try to find out if it is a good company. Then if it is, is the price right. Does it make sense to you? If it does, I will invite you to read this thread set up by me below. Try to reason out yourself if it make sense.

http://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/forum/900285510.jsp

Sometimes an ordinary company, or even a not-so-good company can be a good investing, if the offer price is very low. For example a rundown house in a good suburb where the average price of a house is 1m, and the rundown house is offered for sale at half a million, and you estimate that it needs 200,000 to fix up the house. does it make sense to you that this house is a good bargain? But of course you must know the value of the house before you can decide, isn't it? So you may also refer to the follow link to see if there is good value for a stock.

http://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/forum/900214344.jsp

The above thread in i3 was also started by me. You don't have to agree with me but you should read it and think for yourself if it makes sense.

Of course you have many other resources you can refer to which are better than the above threads. Go search for them.

As regards to your question about why i pick Insas and not TA, all I can say is I am just a small time retail investor. I am not an analyst, nor a professional in the industry. I don't know all. I have not looked at TA. I happened to look at Insas and made an analysis on its assets and found it attractive at that price.

I fully agree that the hardest to master in share market is selling, like what OTB said : "Buying a share is not a skill, selling a share is a skill". Well, he is a bit extreme, I would say buying requires skills (TA / FA), but selling requires a lot more skills! There are a lot of emotions involved when selling, e.g. fear of losing further gain, long term attachment, market pressures, when to cut loss, etc etc ...

See the Table on the return of those net net stock I was talking about within a month or two as shown below:

KSL 2.02 2.06 2%
Plenitude 2.10 3.59 71%
Insas 0.630 0.795 26%
PMCorp 0.150 0.340 127%

Posted by kcchongnz > 2013-12-04 04:35 | Report Abuse

jennylee, PMCorp made a lot of people lost a lot of money 20-30 years ago sliding from RM18 (?) to the present 26 sen. So I really dare not say it is a good company. I have no insight about the company.

If there is no change in the company, in its business, management etc then I would stay away form this company. However, its has some good net assets amounting to more than its market capitalization as shown in my Graham net net valuation of about 30 sen per share. So I don't know if PMCorp is a good or bad company now, but even a bad company can be a good investment if the price is right, agree?

It would be good if the company just liquidate and return the net asset to the shareholders, then shareholders will straightaway have a 20%+ more than its share price. That is short term but quite a low risk one because of its asset compared with its price.

However the company is not going to do that. It would use most of its liquid asset to try to build up its chocolate business. If successful, it may provide better return for shareholders in the future. It all hinges on the prospect of its business. Is the business going to flourish? Is the management capable? More important, is the management credible? That you have to make your own judgement, may be by reading more about the company, and also all the discussions in the PMCorp thread in i3.

There are a few things I normally look at to answer your questions:

1) Is the kind of business likely to last for some time?
2) Is it a good company? This I have to look at what kind of performance of the past the company achieved in term of earning in return of the capitals.
3) Yes, is it cheap? In this case look at the price Vs its earnings. I prefer taking the whole firm into considerations.

Yes, these are all history but they are the only things I can rely and trust on with confidence.

So I will work on those few things if I were you.
