When the whole overall market roils from the twin effect of overseas Grexit and domestic politics concerns it is analytical to have a statistical relative performance check on the last 3 times the Bursa index went below 1700 points:
16 Dec 2014 Bursa Index 1673 : Mpay 18 cents closing 29 June 2015 Bursa Index 1691 : Mpay 27 cents closing 8 July 2015 Bursa Index (today 10.45 am KL time) Index 1693 : Mpay 29 cents
It is comforting and confidence building that the counter has performed relatively well past 6 months even in bear market conditions like now. Mpay is up 35% whilst the index is down 4% year to date.
Not many counters on Bursa has outperform the index and Mpay to me is one stock to remain invested in even on beta basis . Worse case downside is around 26-27 cents (2-3 cents risk) whilst upside once the market recovers is 50 cents (21 cents reward) whilst my long term target is RM 1.30 which is still a 65:35 probability in despite of the short term uncertainties.
I continue to accumulate on this weakness as before since the beginning of the year. Good luck everyone.
kelvinfixx may I humbly suggest that you keep your comments to a higher level of analytical thinking, fair comments and devoid of derogation lest it shows your complete immaturity and total lack of experience in investing not withstanding your past comments has proven to be of no value whatsoever to anybody here. Thank you,
Ive been reading the comments here with a fair bit interest and amusement. Safe to say it certainly does represent a wee bit of bursa investor demographics. I've got a question for those who would care to answer …. which is, It would seem that Mpay looks like intent on having a slow and solid trajectory. One can easily see that it has solid support but at the same time upswings are constrained and managed. Is it the intent of Mpay to weed out the frivolous wild swings and hence the short term players and educate us whilst at it. You could say I'm neither technical nor value research based.
Oh well. The weekend is near. Market gonna be dull today as we await the unfolding in greece and of course jibkor. Parting words from me for now. Warning : If you are easily offended by colorful language STOP reading now. ! I bear no responsibility for mental anguish / angst.
Mpay to me is like a fine lady / gentlemen (Up to your pref). After awhile it gets kind of boring unless you are into some mental masturbation of doing research on each and every bit of detail and key it onto a "investometric model" and voila a magic number - chart appears to signal buy / sell. / hold. . Once in awhile it would be good to be able to chase and hunt, get the adrenalin going and score a quickie or two.….

PETALING JAYA: Electronic payment solutions provider Managepay Systems Bhd (MPay), which received shareholders' approval for a private placement, is hoping to launch its electronic money (e-Money) project by year-end.
"The earnings contribution from e-Money will start to come in from next year," managing director and CEO Chew Chee Seng told a press conference after the company's EGM here yesterday.
The private placement entails an issuance of up to 175.71 million shares, representing 30% of the issued and paid-up capital at an issue price of 23 sen a piece.
This corporate exercise is expected to raise up to RM40.41 million, of which RM23 million will be used for the e-Money project. Another RM17.01 million will be utilised as working capital.
Some of the prominent figures subscribing for the placement shares are former Hong Leong Financial Group CEO Datuk Yvonne Chia and Fajarbaru Builder Group Bhd chairman Tan Sri Kuan Peng Ching@Kuan Peng Soon.
Chew, who is the largest shareholder of MPay, will see his direct shareholding diluted to 20.49% from the current 29.8% after the private placement exercise based on a maximum scenario.
Last February, MPay obtained the green light from Bank Negara to issue e-Money via the proposed online wallet (Mpay Balance) and prepaid card (MPay Master Card).
"We're transforming from a technology company, to become a financial services institution now," Chew said.
MPay reported a 37.19% increase in net profit to RM1.29 million for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2014 compared with RM941,000 a year before.
However, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015, its net earnings slumped 86.58% to RM102,000 from 760,000 in the previous corresponding period, mainly due to higher personnel cost and amortisation.
Chew explained that the decline in bottomline was due to the start-up cost incurred by the e-Money project.
"We're still coping well, using the existing resources, and the warrants which will expire on Aug 6 will bring more cash to the company. At the end of the day it will be a cash-rich company," he explained.
The payment industry involves both acquiring and issuing segments, where the former is related to card reading and product selling, while the latter is on card issuance.
Chew said the issuing business is still new to MPay and hopes it will contribute to half of the group's revenue within the next two years. "E-Money is almost equivalent to deposits taking license, except that we cannot give interest. We can only earn money by encouraging spending because this is for the payment industry," he noted.
He said there is no immediate plan for the issuing business to go abroad, as it requires the approval from the central banks from different countries.
He opined that MPay is in a niche position with the flexibility of serving many groups in the market, in particular the small medium enterprise (SME) community.
"Our main target is on SMEs, but we can go beyond, we can work with anyone," he said.
Chew pointed out that there are a total of six banks that have licenses to issue e-Money, but nothing coming on stream yet.
"So basically why the central bank offered this e-money license to non-banks is to encourage companies like us to be more aggressive in promoting e-payment," he said.
As for acquiring existing businesses, he said besides Malaysia, Myanmar and Singapore, MPay is also looking to expand its footprint into neighbouring countries like Indonesia, the Philippines and Indo-China.
"Basically we want to start with Asean first. Not beyond Asean," he added.
Chew said the company will start its business operations in Singapore by year-end, citing it is now "working on the contract".
MPay shares were unchanged at 29.5 sen yesterday on some 13.69 million shares done.
