sharebuyback: I have accumulated PHB since 2012. After 3 years of continuing disappointing results and seeing no lights at the end of the tunnel yet, I decided to reduce half of my holdings for now and use the remaining amount to invest in a new counter which I have more confidence of getting profit. In term of percentage, the ROI is around -22% as of now factoring in all my contra, averaging, dividends.
Shares dividends wont give you any advantage in term of value of your shares as there will be adjustment in counter price. If the counter price appreciates back, that would be great but looking at the past 3 shares dividends, the counter continued to fall as ppl sold off their dividend shares. We will know by 23rd June @ next Tuesday whether this trend will continue for this 4th shares dividend.
Guess you still did not get the message that I am trying to say here. Just to summarize, I was saying that it is of the interest of the minority share holders that PHB gives cash dividends rather than shares dividends as the counter isn't appreciating after 4 rounds of shares dividends.
In other words, the shares dividend worth much lower than cash dividend even though PHB spent the same amount of money. And because of this, I do not have much support and confidence of the management and hence reduced my stakes after 3 years @ 12 quarters. More than enough for me to make the call to cut loss.
As for those who still have high confidence with PHB management, by all mean, you can continue to support and buy more so the price can appreciate. I will be happy if the price appreciates and that would reduce my loss for my remaining stakes in Parkson.
walau2u you have your point as well since none of i3 forummers here come to admit. I think FF selling more likely as many counters also sold by them recently.
Not in a hurry, keep the buying power for more 10 sen may be offer by WC, remember he is an old fox with legend. WC, I know your tricks, let him works it out, pushing down, clear all, then all the way up then sell the entitle business for good money go retire.
WC gonna to offer MGO since his holding is more than 33% now. See what price he gonna offer as it will impact the price. Imagine if he only offer RM1.70, indirectly he is saying that PHB is only worth that much but in actual fact, he doesn't have the sufficient fund to take over PHB.
Further reducing stakes in PHB and thanks to the small increase today, manage to reduce my loss. With the remaining stakes that I have in PHB, can keep them in the cold fridge and revisit them again in 1 - 1.5 year time.
Something wrong in Parkson. PRL(the one troubled by landlord issue in China) trading higher than Parkson. Parkson does not own PRL 100% so should not be 100% affected. https://www.google.com/finance?cid=702594
sharebuyback, nothing is wrong. Do take note that PRG HK trades in HK dollar whereby the currency rate is lower than RM. The actual D day should be 2nd July when the shares dividend is paid out. Then we will know if ppl sell or hold.
How can Parkson reverse its losing trend: In my opinion, Parkson should focus on doing what is important to customers: these are the five areas I believe is important to customers---- (1) time (simplicity or easy to shop), (2) output ( basic or necessary items) , (3) energy (cost saving), (4) enjoyment (happiness) and (5) control (satisfaction)----that are important to all human beings.
Recent selldown likely retailers buy on contra or margin hoping share buy back will rescue them as in the past. When share buy back suddenly stop these buyers suffer from force selling. So only buy with money you have not margin or contra as our timing cannot be 100% accurate.
Just visit a Parkson store today for window shopping. See very crowded with people. Must be Muslim shopping for their Hari Raya. Their cash register must be ringing with cash again. Department store business is cash term no wonder Parkson always flooded with so much cash.
