From an experienced top grade Engineer who had involved in construction for a long time we can see the quality of KC's understanding of construction activities.
This couple with his knowledge of stock make KC's writing a MUST read for me.
TQ KC.

Rather than condemning why not recommend what shares can buy?

Posted by ccmeow > 2017-10-08 05:48 | Report Abuse

Sendai is doing high end steel design and build construction, which is different from the general type of construction, where the contractor need to submit competitive tenders.
There are few construction companies in Malaysia have the expertise of high end steel design and build business . I read from the news that Sendai has secured many projects in oversea countries . Being a Malaysian company and having pool of local staff ( design and project management), I think Sendai's cost on running projects should be much cheaper and it will help in the profit margin.
With regards to construction dispute, my opinion is that , unless the project is poorly manage with many mediocre personnel, there should not be unresolvable dispute. Sendai might have such minor problems, in the past, but we should not jump into conclusion that Sendai's future projects will end up in construction dispute.
I sincerely hope that Sendai will succeed in its plan to become a reputable construction company, like Gamuda, IJM , Sunway....

Invert, always invert.

If you are new in share, you better change your mind set.

1) Don't look at alternate view as condemning the share you hold, but something to ponder about. By the way, read the article properly; is it about condemning, or sharing of facts and information or different opinion.

2) Think deeply about why people want to recommend you what shares to buy in a public forum. Is there tooth fairy in the stock market?

Investors who follow KC's way of investment are able to survive through the bear & bull markets with minimum of turbulents, but if investors have learned to sailang with borrowed money, then it's very likely that you wil go through a roller ccoater life with a lot cchallenges!

I also hope a home-grown construction company can excel internationally. Yes I do.

However, my articles on Sendai aim to provide an alternative view about investing in Sendai, especially with borrowed money, touted by some people in the forums here. This becomes especially dangerous for newbies, who think they will never be wrong following the calls by some respectable figures in our society.

Investing is about the future, not the past. I am not jumping into conclusion that the future will resemble the past, that Sendai may, unlike the past, will be doing very well in the future, with its huge order book.

Its CEO also mention that they will complete all projects on the time, though he never talk about the bottom line.

Will I sailang Sendai based on the two points above?

Hell no! If you do, it is your prerogative. You may succeed too, I don't know.

“..there are two possible endings to every story.”

For me, I like what Winston Churchill said,

“The further backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see”

long-term investor
trend follower
contrarian
risk taker
save heaven investor
ignorance
newbies
pure follower

etc etc etc....

all these blend out to be an interesting investment world. hence, some make money some make loses even though both investing on a same stock. the same type of rice raises up a 100 types of diff ppl......no one own a holy grail system that guarantee a profit forever. the one that can sustain long lasting in investment arena will be the winner. no right or wrong in every category, style, sharing, trade behavior or all sort...white cat, black cat, catches mice is good cat.

moneykj, I have lost count how many times you cut loss on Sendai.

Wish you better luck this time.

I bot below 0.50 n sold 1.30 for first round. Investment is not about 1 or 2 months. Let's judge after 6 months for my 2nd round.
Fundamentalist like Kc also don't like high gearing Pmetal when the price at 0.71(adjusted price) last year. What's the price now?
Another counter you may not like is Brahims... I start buying last week, judge my ability after 2 months.

On the dot by KC. I said it the last time and I will say it again. Sendai is a lousy stock to buy based on its past performance and precarious balance sheet. Wonder why super investor or super speculator thinks it's such a good buy. You guys decide.

put in simply, sendai has a poor track record in executing its contracts profitably. for construction companies, focus should not be on how much contract they win but how much they can earn from it

Posted by Alex Foo > 2017-10-08 22:04 | Report Abuse

actually, if i remember reading uncle KYY's previous advice, he recommended not to touch property and plantation and GLC's stocks. But construction, I need to read back.

btw, sifu KC i guess he purposely type 'sailing'. So we have a new term now =)

sailing dia~

Luckily you did not take 50% margin finance. Otherwise you would have got friendly margin call from your broker when the share price dropped to 80 sen last week,

So what do you think is my sharing on Sendai here?

Posted by mamakspecial > 2017-10-10 12:04 | Report Abuse

there is no right or wrong..but i think sendai is not as bad as sapura energy la...i heard a guy keep topping up it from rm4 plus to now..he keep averaging down even though oil price was freefalling.

Should you do it with sendai..the only answer is no one knows...is this price the bottoming price and you managed to average it down and maybe profit from it??

Happy investing.

Seriously, players in Bursa should also think about the value of the share, rather than only the price.

How I turned $500 into $25,000, and will most likely turn that into millions and you can too. [aka Crypto101]
5 months ago
decentralizd62 in cryptocurrency


1. Buy everything you believe in. And keep up-to-date on them.
Remember back in 2012 when Bitcoin started to get semi noticed by the world and had its first glimpse of greatness? Remember when people preached of Bitcoins being worth $1,000,000? Well Bitcoin was worth $90-$400 around those times, back when having a single article on Forbes about Bitcoin was unthinkable. But look around, we are slowly climbing the mountain. Even with all the drama, price dumps, exchange crashes, government stupidity & weak handed sissies, Bitcoin still grows. We are are at all time highs and I wouldn't be surprised if we hit $4,000 Bitcoins this year. Then after Bitcoin corrects, altcoins will boom.

That brings us to altcoins, who's market has also grown tremendously in value as of lately, owning the coins you believe in, have researched and keep up to date with are the ones that will help you grow, you have one advantage everyone else does not, you know why this coin is valuable. All you need now is for everyone else to know it as well and you are in the green. And that day will come.

2. HOLD IT. 3mo-1yr, Buy on mega dumps.
Don't be that guy that bought PIVX at 10 cents just to have sold it at 16 cents... if you buy something and you know why you bought it and have done you research, you are much less likely to get weak hands and sell for minimal profit. All of these projects have so much room for growth and dumping early is one of the easiest ways to kick yourself for years to come. So instead of dumping with the market when everyone starts taking profit, start buying and increase your stash of cheap coins, because one day, all of these coins will be worth 10-1000 times what they are today.

3. Once you are up 200-300%, sell your initial investment. Trust me.
Obviously theres risk involved in crypto, so to be more safe and secure your investments, when your some of your alts have a mega spike, why not sell 1/3 of your coins which usually equals out to your initial investment and put that back into something more stable like Bitcoin until the price corrects? It always happens, no matter the coin. And it helps you sleep at night, or atleast not wake up at 5am to check the price lol.... you know you have all done it...

4. Buy More, Hodl More.
Crypto is bullish. Every chance you get you should be purchasing more BTC with USD, earning more BTC online, buying more Altcoins, increase your positions in your favorite alts and just get involved in general. The only way crypto is going to 'go mainstream' is if everyone adopts this mentality. You can already LIVE on crypto currency and I personally do so quite well. So why not shake the past and start living in the future? FIAT is a dying concept of money and we all know it, therefore we should all be dumping our FIAT for Bitcoins and other cryptos.

5. Oh and don't forget to keep growing your coins, using Steemit for example!
A great way to increase your stash without pulling money out of your pocket is to simply be active, use services like Steemit.com, be active on subreddits about crypto, be active on your favorite forums about your favorite crypto or whatever it may be and I promise it will pay of for you, you will either get in early on a generation 3 currency, earn alot of $$ on Steemit or even find yourself a sweet blockchain funded job! Those seem to be all the craze these days..

6. Crypto is a Bullish market overall, don't forget that folks, FIAT is dying before our eyes.
Like I said before, crypto is bullish, any coin that stays alive for the next 5 years will see insanely gains no matter what, its the nature of the system. While I don't suggest to buy more than you can manage, owning more than 1-2 coins is a very good idea for the next couple years, even if some short term losses occur overall we're all going to make quite a hefty amount of profit due to the nature of the systems we are investing into. We are still early adopters folks!
