SUMMARIZING THE WEAKNESSES & KEY TAKEAWAY OF 3iii & Mr Long ;
"People like 3iii & Mr Long are unsuitable to advise u on this loh, bcos this people like driving cars, can only drive the car forward, but they don know when to tell u to brake and do reverse gear ala "LARI KUAT KUAT WHEN THINGS DON TURN UP RIGHT" MAH...!!"
Based on Hengyuan situation what are the lessons we can learn from there leh ??
Lessons
Pls do not trust growth in EPS and low PE so much loh...!! Earnings can unexpected collapse very fast anytime loh...!!
The margin of safety based on Earnings and growth is very volatile like the case of Hengyuan PE 5x v Nestle 50x and Ql 50x, in addition Hengyuan growth 200% v Nestle & Ql growth less than 20%....u thought Hengyuan got very big fat margin of safety based on earnings and growth...but this type of margin of safety based on earnings can collapse and disappear very fast loh...!!
In fact this condition of collapse again confirmed by the recent collapse of padini and topglove, share price fall drastically recently bcos of earnings disappointment again mah...!!
So do not listen to conman 3iii asking u all to buy NESTLE Pe 50x or high growth stock at lofty valuation....anytime the earnings can collapse very fast without warnings like what happen to hengyuan, topglove and padini loh...!!
Thats the reason why Ben Graham in the intelligent investor book, do not give too much emphasis on investment based on margin of safety using earnings based on profitability and growth route, but he prefer to use margin of safety based on huge discount on tangible assets and huge cash liquidity of the company with the huge share price discount bcos this tenet is less volatile & tangible and esy to employ loh...!!
It is not that u cannot invest based on growth and earnings route, in fact raider would encourage u do it bcos it is highly profitable loh...anyhow if u invested in hengyuan earlier, u will had made a huge profit unseen for many years, but u must act smart & be prepare to lari kuat kuat loh...!!
People like 3iii & Mr Long are unsuitable to advise u on this loh, bcos this people like driving cars, can only drive the car forward, but they don know when to tell u to brake and do reverse gear ala "LARI KUAT KUAT WHEN THINGS DON TURN UP RIGHT" MAH...!!
Raider is right to advice u to lari kuat kuat on hengyuan...in fact everyone should learn how to lari kuat kuat ....when condition & environment does not look right mah...!!
Icon8888 has many failed picks over the years as far as I am concerned. But like all the self proclaimed sifus here, the losers always being swept under the carpet. When we quote it, they became ashame and start posting articles about their past winners.
(Icon) What Is Investing ? Author: Icon8888 | Publish date: Sun, 20 Jan 2019, 02:42 PM
On 23 December 2015, I wrote that investing involves holding on to stocks for long term to enjoy compounded return, other stock market activities are at best "trading".
However, recently I have been reading extensively about Investment Gurus' works. One thing that shock me is that very few of them actually hold stocks forever. Contrarian investor John Neff sold his stock within months if they registered good return. Even Joel Greenblatt (KC Chong's favourite) also indulged in short term activities.
As long as can make money with proper consideration of risk, it is valid. No need to hold long, long term only to be considered legitimate.
I hereby declare : "Investing should not be defined only as picking good stocks and holding forever to enjoy compounded return. Buying an overlooked stock to wait for market to rectify mispricing and hence provides opportunity to cash out, is also considered investing. Even if it happens within few months.
Short term activities should not be automatically frowned upon. Anything bought based on careful evaluation of value and proper reasoning, and in the event that things turn sour, can be held until recovery, is considered investing.
Holding period is totally irrelevant."
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT BEN GRAHAM SAYS MAH..U BUY CHEAP WITH BIG MARGIN OF SAFETY AND HOLD ON TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MR MARKET MAH, WHEN THE SECURITIES RERATE AND GO UP TO THE REASONABLE FAIR VALUE AS MR MARKET BECAME OPTIMISTIC, U SELL MAH....!!
MR GRAHAM, HAVE NEVER ENCOURAGE TO HOLD ON FOREVER MAH...!!
Because of that, I officially announce the demise and irrelevance of your investment strategy. It is too austere, inflexible and unsuitable for Malaysia stocks (99.99% do not have moat)
Warren Buffett will die in Malaysia. His stuffs don’t work here. You better follow mine. ===============================================================
I can support that statement but if you are the 0.01% of the investors who can find the 0.01% of great companies and ride them for multiple baggers.....u still have the problem of re-investmennt risk.....and u still have no assurance of repeatablity.....
Malaysia is a small boat in a big ocean...where got moat one?...But every beginner wants to call himself a bufalo man.
If u are 3iii and Philip...U are the exceptions...What about the other 99.9%? Are they condemned to failure through no fault of their own?

Buffettology
1. Does the company have an identifiable durable competitive advantage? 2. Do you understand how the product works? 3. If the company in question does have a durable competitive advantage and you understand how it works, then what is the chance that it will become obsolete in the next twenty years? 4. Does the company allocate capital exclusively in the realm of its expertise? 5. What is the company's per share earnings history and growth rate? 6. Is the company consistently earning a high return on equity? 7. Does the company earn a high return on total capital? 8. Is the company conservatively financed? 9. Is the company actively buying back its shares? 10. Is the company free to raise prices with inflation? 11. Are large capital expenditures required to update plant and equipment? 12. Is the company's stock price suffering from a market panic, a business recession, or an individual calamity that is curable? 13. What is the initial rate of return on the investment and how does it compare to the return on U.S. treasury bonds? 14. What is the company's projected annual compounding return as an equity/bond? 15. What is the projected annual compounding return using the historical annual per share earnings growth? ====
I hope u cut and paste...because a lot of efforts there....
contrarian investing easier lah....more assurance of profitable trade......
I am free to coffee shop chit chat for the next half hour, hopefully.
Regarding, Buffett's strategy doesn't work for Bursa. This is of course, not true. Perhaps, it doesn't work for those who do not understand it. That would be true.
Very interesting frame of thought. I like this icon8888 young man.
I think he shows brilliance in his thoughts and ideas, far more than the other guy Jon choivo. Maybe young men should alto later till 5am to get clear thoughts? Brain turns to much after 9pm.
I only have only one thing to comment, I believe there is a big misunderstanding between the sentence buy and hold, and buy and forget. Most people seem to think both are the same thing. I think that is insanity, every business has an up and down, nothing stays the same forever. Anyone who doesn't keep track of their investments is just asking for trouble.
My only difference is I prefer to use real, current, accurate quarterly reports to tell me what I should do, instead of the stock price action of emotional monsters like Stockraider.
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....
