Thanks WealthWizard for your interesting information on the industry.While the upside looks good , at least until the end of the year, was wondering what is your take on the exchange rate ie.US$/RM for the imported raw material now that Megasteel has stopped production.The current exchange rate favours more negative biasness towards the ringgit irrespective whether the Fed Chairman decides to increase the interest rates. Also because of the competition in the CRC industry ie.oligopoly..can a major buyer of the stock lock in at rate for a 3 year time frame ie. like a futures contract.This is because the government's infrastructure projects will start kicking in next year ie. MRT and LRT and also Eversendai has received new order books for steel fabrication jobs. I think there is a element of nice roe profits will come about rather than extraordinary profits will be realised as these are the factors which the risk management or the capital efficiency side will meet their respective challenges. Thanks once again for the good write up.
Hi Stockwatch, I think Part 3 have replied certain questions highlighted by you and below are reply from moneySIFU about the effect of weakening RM against USD:
Posted by moneySIFU > Sep 12, 2016 09:08 PM | Report Abuse X It's double edged sword, lenglui, but seem CSCSteel benefited most from weakening RM while Mycron has been actively hedged its currency exposure, no so much gain or loss last year.
Extracted from the above: the selling price of the domestic CRC, which ranged from RM2068 to RM2,292 in 2015, are expected to be maintained or even possibly increased in coming months.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
