The Reasons You Should Invest in Quality Growth Companies for the Long Term. Illustrated examples.

The reasons you should review your philosophy and strategy in stock investing:

1. You can create wealth only by adding value to resources or by providing a service of value.
2. Only investments in active businesses are capable of adding value.
3. Owning a business, though very rewarding, is expensive and risky; but owning shares in a variety of successful businesses eliminates most of the risk while retaining most of the reward.
4. Buying the stock of quality growth companies and holding it for the long term provides substantial, predictable returns.
5. Short term trading (BFS/STS) is unpredictable and stacks the odds against you, because it relies upon winning at some loser's expense and because there's no assurance that you won't be the loser.
6. The benefits of long-term investing include carefree portfolio maintenance, the potential to double your money every five years, the deferment of taxes, and the fact that there are rarely any losers.



Let's review the simple mathematics that makes this method work:

1. Assume that 15 times earnings is a fair multiple for a good company and that the company earned $1 per share last year.
2. You will therefore pay $15 for the stock.
3. In five years, the earnings will have grown to $2 per share.
4. At 15 times earnings, the price will then be $30.

The value of your investment will have doubled - in five years!


Hopefully you're satisfied with the logic behind this investing approach and can see its advantages.

Let's dispel any doubts you might have about whether you can be successful.



The best way to minimize the risk is to invest in good quality companies for the long-term, expecting not to make a killing but to earn as much as good quality companies are capable of earning for their shareholders.

Here are some examples of KLSE listed companies that have grown their earnings over the last 5 years. Their earnings (green lines on the chart) have doubled or almost doubled over this period. Therefore, assuming you have paid the fair PE for these stocks, your capital appreciation on the stock price would likewise have shown the corresponding gains. Investing can be as simple as this: invest into good quality growth companies at fair or bargain prices, and holding them forever, unless their business fundamentals deteriorated permanently.

Use "normalized income after taxes."

(1) If you are calculating ROE on your own, it should be calculated using the most “stripped-down” income available; i.e., “normalized income after taxes,” which excludes all non-recurring and extraordinary items from the income derived from continuing operations. This is not all that easy to come by. Either you, or your data provider’s analysts must estimate the tax implications for the non-recurring items excluded, since such items appear above the tax line on the income statement. At this time, the only data providers I know of that offer normalized earnings are Value Line (www.valueline.com) and Market Guide (www.marketguide.com).

(2) As a practical matter, the second best and probably the “most likely to succeed” would be income available to common shares from continuing operations excluding extraordinary items.

(3) And the net income after taxes would be a near next choice.

Don't be fearful when a stock price dropped by half. If you are confident in the business and have the conviction that its price should be higher and that in the future, its price (based on valuation) will be higher than its previous highest price, continue to own the stock for the long run.

Dutch Lady

This company is suffering from some short-term business problems. The market has beaten its share price down a lot.

Look at the company in greater detail. It is growing its revenues. Despite huge capital expenditure to set up the new manufacturing plant, its short term and long term debts remained very low. It is able to generate cash from its operations and delaying payments to its creditors to finance the capex. Though its dividends were slashed over the last 5 years, it is still paying 50 cents per share in dividends. All these points to Dutch Lady has economic moat. Its business will sail on through troubled times.

It is a company that is not hurting for cash and is not sitting on a mountain of debt.

Once the new manufacturing plant is up and functioning fully, we can expect to see ton of cash piling up, little debts and its dividends creeping up again.

The business of Dutch Lady remains exceptional. Despite huge capex, it carries little long-term debt on its balance sheet. Dutch Lady remains highly profitable and it is self financing the building of its new manufacturing facility (compensation of its old factory and land acquired by the authority, through internally generated profits, retaining more of its earnings by paying out lower dividends and through funding from its suppliers).

Due to its economic moat, Dutch Lady is able to grow without the need to borrow large sums of money.

One of the most effective methods to reduce tax leaks in this area is through e-invoicing implementation.

The Finance Ministry has previously stated that from 2000 to 2009, the shadow economy accounted for about 30.2% of Malaysia’s GDP, reducing to 21.2% from 2010 to 2019.

A significant reason for this decline was the implementation of the GST in 2015, introducing tax invoices and plugging some tax loopholes.

More comprehensive

When comparing tax invoices from the GST era with the planned e-invoicing system, it becomes evident that e-invoicing requires more comprehensive and detailed information.

This indicates that the IRB can gather more data to monitor transactions between businesses (B2B) and businesses and consumers (B2C), further sealing tax loopholes and increasing national revenue.

This is why many countries have either begun or planned to implement e-invoicing.

A company with durable competitive advantage (Definition of a great company).

In Bursa, Nestle is a great company.
A great company can grow its revenues and earnings consistently and over a long time.
It maintains its margins.
It has healthy earnings, that is, its earnings generate a lot of cash from operations and net operating cash flow.
It requires to spend little to maintain and/grow its business (capex <<< earnings).
Thus, it generates a lot of free cash flow.
It does not need a lot of new capital to grow its earnings, thus, its ROE is very high.
It would be great if Nestle can reinvest this into its business but it is not able.
Not surprisingly, it distributed almost all its earnings to its shareholders.

All great company started small and grew over many years into its present size.
A small company can grow faster than a very big company.

Look for other companies in other sectors that have the characteristics of Nestle, and you will probably find a great company to analyse and ponder on.

The only thing is these great companies tend to trade at very good prices.
A great company can be a bad investment if you overpay to own it.

Investor's Checklist: Business Services

Understand the business model. Knowing if a company leverages technology, people, or hard assets will provide insight as to the kind of financial results the company may produce.

Look for scale and operating leverage. These characteristics can provide significant barriers to entry and lead to impressive financial performance.

Look for recurring revenue. Long-term customer contracts can guarantee certain levels of revenue for years into the future. This can provide a degree of stability in financial results.


Focus on cash flow. Investors ultimately earn returns based on a company's cash-generating ability. Avoid investments that aren't expected to generate adequate cash flow.

Size the market opportunity. Industries with big, untapped market opportunities provide an attractive environment for high growth. In addition, companies chasing markets perceived to be big enough to accommodate growth for all industry participants are less likely to compete on price alone.

Examine growth expectations. Understand what kind of growth rates are incorporated into the share price. If the rates of growth are unrealistic, avoid the stock.



(Example: MYEG leverages on technology.)

When interest rate goes up, asset values are expected to drop. Something to do with the value of an asset is the discounting value of all the cash flows from these assets by a higher discount factor.

How do we explain the last 2 years US stock market behaviour? The FED increased the interest rates and yet the US stock market climbed higher and higher.😃

After World War II, US became the dominant country in the world. The world was divided and the cold war ensued for many years. The Soviet Union broke up and many of its newly independent countries are now with or leaning to the G7 and European countries.

The US dollar reigned supreme. It soon become the world reserve currency and most trades between countries are settled in US dollars. The SWIFT system provides the mean to trade using the US dollars for many decades.

When the US santioned Russia by kicking it out of the SWIFT system and also freezing its US denominated assets (mostly in US Treasury bonds), it set off an alarm bell to those holding the US dollars and their vulnerabilities, especially in those where US try to coerced or pressured.

The need to look for an alternative system was urgent for these countries not in the good books of the US. They looked to learn from the Iranian sanctions by the US and also the sanctions of Russia by the US, and given our human ingenuity, soon comes out with a system to trade among themselves, by passing the use of the US currency. Moreover, while the G7 controlled a huge part of the world GDP at its inception, its influence today is much less (30%). BRICS+ controls more than 30% of the world GDP today.

In a few months or perhaps a year or two, we should see the rise of a new world currency system (backed by gold) in place, for those countries wishing to participate in this. In the next few years, the US currency will remain all powerful still but the weaponisation of the US currency will be less effective. Over time, will we be seeing the rise of the BRIC+ currency and the slow gentle decline of the US currency as the world reserve currencies.

Given the huge debts of the US, will the slow decline in the use of the US currency as a world reserve currency impact its economic strength in the near future?

A brief review of my long term portfolio

1. Investing is very safe for the long term. Short term results can be extremely volatile. Be prepared for rough rides anytime.

2. Holding on to winners, selling the losers. This ensures that your portfolio will contain many winners. Of course, another assumption being not to invite "losers" into your portfolio.

3. The long term multi-baggers are the true builders of the wealth in the portfolio. Even then, over the decades, their prices fluctuated too (not a surprise). The ability to continue hold on to these for decades ensure you grow your wealth through compounding in these winners.

4. Sell quickly those stocks that have deteriorated fundamentally (business wise). You may choose to sell some of the stocks you like too if you think they are too over-priced (or you may choose not to use this strategy, it will be fine too).

5. Twitching your portfolio now and again, to improve on the quality of the stocks in it and also to optimise returns is a good practice. Do this occasionally, but rarely. Often you will find that you can reinvest into the same stocks that you know well in the stock portfolio.

6. Sometimes, you made a mistake in buying a particular stock. Just sell and reinvest into another you like.

7. Always buy at bargain prices. An investment is good at a certain price and very bad at a high price. The market is there to serve you, you will always have a chance to buy cheap. Be patient.

8. Have the courage and the cash ready to act when an opportunity presents. Be greedy when everyone is fearful. Fire your elephant gun, do not be timid in this opportune time.

Concept of equity bond (of Warren Buffett)

Heim was bought at RM6, decades ago.
Its latest yearly dividend was 128 sen.
Imagine owning a bond with a face-value of RM 6 and paying increasing coupon rate over many years.
Today, its coupon rate is 21.3% (=RM1.28/Rm6.00).
