Uncle Icon, good work. I would suggest you include AEMULUS in your list of coverage. My analysis show that this company has potential to shine in year 2016.

Icon just my opinion. As everyone is aware, you are a value guy. When you do those stocks writeup, those list of stocks are generally 'cheap' & has 'low expectation' if not undervalued, because I do not study all of them. To use your list of stocks to proof the theory that 'profit increase lead to share increase', and as we all know, it is a positive correlation. It proof the theory applies to reality.

But if you use that theory and applies to a bunch of high PEs stocks, that is when the theory is very likely to generate a very different outcome in real life and fall apart.

And now to people that just take KYY golden rule at face value, they dont really look at all these, they will think 'oh topglove will grow, public bank will grow, lets buy it' So it become indiscriminate that what people call 'buy at any price, as long profit is growing'. And I say it many times, public bank profit will grow whether you buy it at RM1 or RM100, but your investment return on one end is beggar and another end is millionaire. That is the problem with this golden rule.

Your point is valid. I think Uncke Koon is aware of the issue too. I can see he inserted the wording "preferably with reasonable PER". It wasn't there in the 2014 version

there is no wining formula. even warren buffee was wrong in investing Amerian Airlines. there are times you are spot on the counter but due to reasons beyong your control timing is off. even a long term investor ( 3-5 )years may not see the result. we mere mortals holding period are even shorter. Envron is a classic example where too big too fail. Lehman bros is another classic case. Coming closer to home is Peter lim (Singapore) invested 1 Million Shares ( SGD ) in Wilmar 1996. sold off the block for 1.5 BIllion . that one is a lucky shot. happy trading

There is no 100% winning formula..

But still there are winning formulas...if 7-8 out of 10 of yr picks (from yr winning formula) could make money then u are very very geng oredi...

Happy trading too

I just subscribed to I3 last month and find your article informative, interesting and valuable for small retail investors like me. sifu Koon's theory works generally well if the reported numbers are not exaggerated or falsified. I had fallen victim to companies like Transmile and NamFatt which reported fictitious revenue and profits. Since then, I am vary of companies whose directors I have lack of confidence, especially China companies listed in Bursa such as Xinquan, CSL etc. thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge of companies listed in the Exchange

Well some of the observation/comments is correct/good especially on hexza while some is base on assumptions
Hexza is a good company , net cash company with ample cash - somebody already writing on it , and discovered this gem.
It was insider Asia stock feature and also written by another blogger

Many people said investment forum very dangerous, so far i3 is the best and most updates and most honest forum to all.

Tapi, there is no free lunch!!!can't 100% people here with good intention more than 50% is bad intention. Happyly to see the good one to kick out the bad one.

Learn from all people. The thing quote from koon I think good and learn from him is:

Rule number 1: The profit for this quarter must more than last quarter. More ? 1m ?2 m30m ?100m? Consider more? Yourself decide.

Its called conviction when right and win big
also called stubborn when wrong and lose big

Final results are based on strategy and stock picking skills.
First, most people really got no strategy one.
Secondly, on stock pickings, and buying and selling decisions,
the losers says Yes too often.
the winners rarely says Yes

that's why it is called stock picking skills, not just good stocks.
of course if you got great marketing departments like i3, it helps.

some believe its almost impossible to reliably time mkt over the long term, they believe the key is to stay almost or fully invested in growth/value stocks at all times.

but so long one is happy, making $$ and harm nobody...no right or wrong method.

Good luck everybody!

Uncle Koon's Obsession... He has the track record and the skill set to handle it.

Now, every small time investor also want to be Uncle Goon ....the rage is on, it has even spread to the investment community in the analysts community. Nobody wants to miss the game.

When the market turns , everybody don't know what to do The analysts community just write reports, it is not their money. And they don't have the skill set to handle it.

To cut a long story short, there is no single rule...if there is it would be quickly arbitraged away and next time, somebody will invent another magic formula for short cuts. hahahaha

@Icon8888 Thanks for this very useful and informative post. Plus your analysis. This is something which requires a lot of time and energy, not to mention a lot of brain power. Whether an individual agrees or not, and to what extent, is secondary. But I must say that this kind of post adds value to i3investor. Makes it worth the time to come here. You get an "A+" for your efforts. Very much appreciated.

Once again a big Thank You. Your selection of shares for 2015 has been very successful and make a lot of people richer in this group. Of course not many people can afford to buy all the shares! Hope some have not selected the under performing shares.

Icon8888,

I feel a little strange that why you exclude those stocks below which can be explained away from your already small sample size.

"Of the remaining 8 stocks that the price hasn't gone up proportionate to profit growth, 7 stocks can be explained away (blue highlighted), only 1 stock cannot (yellow highlighted)."

For example,

"WTK - Before profit growth, the stock traded at high PER (backed by high net assets per share). Strong profit growth only brought PER down to a more reasonable level. As such, investors did not chase the share price up substantially."

The above exactly explains why strong profit growth is not necessary follow by share price increase (unless it is being gorenged), because this profit growth has already known by insiders and their friends that the share price has already gone up way before the announcement of strong profit growth.
