KC, what is your opinion of BPLANT which consistently pays about 8% dividend/year?

Wall Lone Buffalo very smart...he asks other CEOs to pay dividend , he himself never pays dividends.

1. Buy good quality growth stocks with durable competitive business advantage 2. High ROE of > 15% 3. High quality earnings that translate into large cash flow from operations. 4. Minimal cap expenditure, preferably < 25% of cash flow from operation, that is, high Free Cash Flow 5. Since company is growing its revenues, and earnings yearly, its FCF too grows as well 6. These companies generally has little debt, large cash flows and can play dividends. 7. Dividend payout ratio preferably between 30% to 70%, though companies like Nestle and DLady pay out almost 100% of earnings as dividends. Buying these companies is the equivalent of buying an equity bond of Warren Buffett. Your return = Dividend Yield + Growth in Dividends.

If anyone is interested in dividend of 5-7% better put in EPF which is sure gain and no way can go down and loss money
Asb also a good alternative.

Glad that you found value in my articles. They are free too here.

Focus Lumber is a magic formula stock, high ROIC and low EY. it is also a good dividend yield stock and good cash flows, and with a clean balance sheet.

It is hence a very safe stock to invest for long-term. It is unlikely to go wrong in your investment.

However, it may not be exciting stock which does not have that kind of fantastic growth prospect due to its business nature.

Hard to resist the "social proof". money game come into my mind.


During the Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholders’ meeting, a value investor from China asked Buffett and his right-hand man Charlie Munger for advice on how to spread the value investing philosophy in a market system where so many are speculating.

“There’s always some speculations, always some value investors in the market,” Buffett said.

The problem arises when people start to see others benefitting from playing the market.

“When speculation gets rampant and when you’re getting what I guess Charlie [Munger] would call ‘social proof’ that it’s worked recently, people can get very excited about speculating in markets. And, we will have it from time-to-time in the market,” Buffett said, adding, “There’s nothing more agonizing than to see your neighbor, who you think has an IQ 30 points below you, getting richer than you are by buying stocks, whether it’s internet stocks or whatever. And people succumb to it. They’ll succumb to it in this economy and elsewhere.”

Warren Buffet and Charlie munger says....bcos mkt got many speculators and gamblers in a way give alot of opportunity for value investors loh....!!

But value investors need to be discipline and not to succumb to speculative frenzy and stick to time tested value investment loh..!!

Kc is a good testament what value investment should be mah...!!

That is partly what business sense is about.

Some others think that they have this, but they can't even articulate what it is. it is merely a business nonsense.
