(AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File) WASHINGTON (AP) — The credibility of two of the nation’s leading public health agencies was under fire this week after controversial decisions that outside experts said smacked of political pressure from President Donald Trump as he attempts to move past the devastating toll of the coronavirus ahead of the November election.
The head of the Food and Drug Administration grossly misstated, then corrected, claims about the lifesaving power of a plasma therapy for COVID-19 authorized by his agency. Then the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention quietly updated its guidelines to suggest fewer Americans need to get tested for coronavirus, sparking outrage from scientists.
Trump's own factual misstatements about COVID-19 are well documented, but the back-to-back messaging blunders by public health officials could create new damage, eroding public trust in front-line agencies. That's already raising concerns about whether the administration will be forthcoming with critical details about upcoming vaccines needed to defeat the pandemic.
"I do worry about the credibility of the FDA and CDC, especially at a time when the capacity of the federal government to advance public health should be a priority for all policymakers,” said Daniel Levinson, former longtime inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees both the FDA and the CDC.
pisofshit tikus said QR will be bad. that is already wrong. you guys still believe in this piece of shiit words?? everyday bash this counter, his intention is so clear.
September glove month, when Big 4 rise green green, HLT will rise even faster, possibly even Limit up, we seen it before. Now I’m only looking for a low price point to enter HLT hahahaaa. My target is RM1 enter and exit at RM3 HLT. Let’s see if I can get it hahaaa
The best way to read forum is using reverse psychology, if you see people are intentionally spreading fear, that is a strong sign that big operator are trying to collect low, and spike it up for maximum profit.
“Be greedy when people are fearful, be fearful when people are greedy”.
A good example is glove counters in August. If you noticed, glove counters are pressed down hard even though Supermax posed a superb QR. And then after syndicate massively collect ticket at low price RM18, then the share price shot up back to 22 and even more upcoming. That’s the strategy for syndicate to get extreme profit. Let’s see how gloves do in September with Topglove announcing it’s QR. Topglove will bring all glove counter up up up, I’ll be interested to see how many people panic sell here to see that HLT limit up again after a mass selling hahaaa
MCO EXTENDED,,,, BULL FOR HEALTH SECTOR ON TUESDAY... WATCH CLOSELY ON KOSSAN AND SUPERMAX,, BOTH ALREADY LISTED ON MSCI INDEX.... MORE FOREIGN FUND INTO THIS COUNTER... NO MORE MANIPULATION BY OUR LOCAL BANKS ON THIS BOTH COUNTERS ANYMORE
I did a bit of research on HLT, I noticed its warrant is extremely undervalued. HLT-WA convert to HLT with conversion ratio of 1:1 and exercise price of 0.2 only.
This means if we buy in the company warrant now at 1.34, with exercise price of 0.2, we could get the mother share at a discounted price of 1.54. That’s a good discount of 11%, which is equivalent to your 11% profit when you convert to the mother share.
Wow please correct me if I’m wrong, but I really see good value in its warrant now
WORLD NEWS AUGUST 30, 2020 / 12:50 PM / UPDATED 2 HOURS AGO India sets global record with single-day rise in coronavirus cases
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India’s single day tally of 78,761 coronavirus infections on Sunday was the highest reported by any nation since the pandemic began.
It surpassed a July 16 figure of 77,299 cases in the United States, a Reuters tally of official data showed.
The world’s second most populous nation is the third worst affected globally after the United States and Brazil, but its daily tallies have exceeded those of the other two countries for almost two weeks.

@Lowprofile, cool, congrats for the good profit! It is still undervalued now. I checked with my broker just now, I think I will sapu some in on Tuesday.
@ooi8888, you’re right. I usually invest in multiple stages and price points, never go all in at one price. I checked HLT financial fundamentals are good even at pre-covid, and it still has huge uproom ahead as the Covid getting worse with virus mutation coming into play. Looking at some “pro” here purposely spreading fear, I think its a good sign I collect share now at a fearful sentiment, I might be wrong, but we’ll see :)
Statistically, a warrant trading at a discount may be a warning sign that the rally for both the share price and the warrant price are not sustainable. Just trade with caution.
@winsome, how do you see it that way? Mind sharing more information how is it not sustainable? I would like to learn more.
Looking at the historical data of HLT warrant, the warrant has been trading at a discounted price for months, which I see its a better choice of entry for this counter at the moment. If I buy mothershare I have to pay 1.71 now, but if i buy it’s warrant, the value is equivalent to buying at 1.54, discounted buy, why not hahaa.
Hi Sifu-sifu, seek your input on my queries for I am holding substantial numbers of HLT stock to have assurance I can continue to invest in HLT. My queries are : why WRP another glove maker paid HLA RM36 millions? What relationship does WRP ex- CEO and spouse have to do with Mdm Chan and Mr Wong ? Why HLT wants to have “business relationship “ with WRP CEO Datuk Lee since WRP was alleged to breach labour law until her glove was detained by US custom as in the case of Top- glove?
@ting Sometimes ppl can file their claim in court, based on their claim of losses and damages. One can file a case claiming that due to an act or of negligence of the other party, he has suffered losses of 50mil. Then he got to prove it to the court, if the other party has done or failed to do something that had caused such losses. AND of course, if it really a yes, are those losses and damages are really rm50mil.
Lets put aside the court case as it will never ending story until next year 2021 also no verdict yet. This is the way it works. So no need to further discuss on the case.
Lets concentrate on how much profit it will gain for the next next next quarter.. double.. triple.. fourple... TP4 otw
@Lowprofile2020 There must be basic for WRP glove maker to file the claim. Well better save than sorry hence I will exit the stock holding and pass the opportunity to those who still have faith in HLT. Good luck to the brave ones!
If u ask glove circle of business...those big player dont like deal business with hlt....management nt honest....tht is why wrp also sueing hlt management.
Beware of hired hands to stir retailers sentiment. These propagandists or so called social media influencers are tasked to influence retailers' trade by syndicate ☝️☝️
Note 1.) : Trade receivable with Allowance for impairment losses ( 17,035,000 ) based on Group's normal trade credit terms range from 30 to 90 days .. not a good sign .
Note 2.) : Trade n other payable = 23,353,000 compared to Trade n other receivable = 22,182,000 ..not a good sign either ..
## Gloves market pricing is very interesting , customers will place order first , let's say currently is placed 1 year ahead , but the pricing is determine before delivery arrangement pending market price fluctuation .
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....
