There are so many shares selling below 1 times book value, on single digit prospective pe and selling at near 52 week low with good management. Why in the world would anyone with good investment knowledge want to risk buying a lemon stock that has never performed well throughout its listing history. Remember the golden rule, always buy a stock that is well managed. This is not one of them, cheers.

Icon, you straight line projection on the vietnam construction profit does not reflect the accelerating pace of the activities going into 2018 and 2019. Based on the progress of similar power project in vietnam, it is likely to see 30% work done in 2018 and 50% in 2019.

If forced selling on KYY's pledged securities continues, down trend for Jaks may take 4 months if everyday net selling by KYY is 2 million for 80 market days.

You must stay away from Jaks for at least 4 months to avoid caught by KYY factor........

IPP is very capital intensive biz. It can be very highly profitable but with tremendous high risks. Financing, construction, operation, environmental, counterparty, political ect must be carefully considered. Just look at what happen to IPP plant in India constructed n partly owned by Mudajaya but turn out to be a nightmare.

Posted by Jonathan Keung > 2018-08-02 09:24 | Report Abuse

a good write up but Vietnam IPP investment is known for their hiccups. Jaks is a not true blue builder. imagine a single development project at PJ ( also faced problems ) that itself is speaks of the company abilities. dividend wise never known for its fat paychecks

The cosrtruction job is just an arrangement with Chinese partner to reward Jaks for getting IPP license, and the so called profit is just notional, not real.

If someone is willing to pay 100,000 to build a house. He is to pay you 100,000 over 10 years plus interest. It only costs you 70,000 to build the house. Is the 30,000 construction profit real? Of course it is real. You will receive the profit over the next 10 years with interest.

Jaks similar to Berjaya Group now, you will never know what they are doing based on the financial statements.

All you need to do is assuming & guessing. Technically you are right, but lots of hidden things are not clarified,

For example, 70%:30% JV, how much influence the management of JAKS has over the business? What about cash flow management of JV? How much $$ Jaks need to pump into JV & what is the recovery rate for cost of invesment?

That is why i said you have to do a lot of research to find out answers to your questions, not just wondering. Always assuming the darker side of the story will not help you getting the true picture. There are answers to some of your questions in the JV agreement with CPECC as announced to bursa. There are certain answers in the CPECC website. And you need to study the latest vietnam gov't circular to understand the tariff structure. Since you don't trust anyone here, you need to do some homework to be confidence.

There is no doubt that 40% of a US$1.87b power plant in vietnam will have huge potential earnings. However, you have to be comfortable enough to buy. Otherwise, you have to let it go.

Pacific star tower already almost 100% completion. The other part residence, and mall still progressing.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/huislaw/sets/72157640776462653

Once the pacific star tower 1 hand over to star, the performance bond RM 50m become meaningless as these RM 50m is fund for star to complete the balance work of its tower and any excess fund actually need to return back to jaks, therefore, if jaks already complete the tower and hand over to star, then, performance bond RM50m will be become void.

Important advice to greater fools

Some even lost a large part of their original capital. Thus on the next occassion when you happen to find yourselves at this type of a ball, try to leave early. The problem is that once one is caught up in the fun and games of the party, one is apt to lose touch with reality. Chances are that believers of the Greater Fool Theory will hang on to the bitter end, only to be slaughtered. It is better to miss a few dances or a few glasses of champagne than lose one's life.

In concluding this section, an anecdote about Bernarde Baruch, generally acknowledged to be the greatest stock traders of the 1920s is related. He was once asked how it was that he remained so rich while many of his contemporaries had declared bankrupt. This was his splendid answer: 'I always sold too early.'
