Investlah was plagued be 2 extremes

1. One dinosaur recommending ancient fossilized stocks called 3x idiots

Incorrigible
Insanely blind to net asset approach
Idiot like a busybody even Sifu Raider and Icon8888 fed up with.

2. Out and out gambling fool called Dr Kim
A fool gambling with passion without brain

So one got brain full of antique obsolete ideas
One has no brain

What a sad state investlah landed in

Good that Dr Kim has been locked away

Bad for i3 investors people if incorrigible 3x idiots still never learn from all his errors

Will 3x idiots change his stubborn and wanton ways?

I doubt so. How can an Ethopian change his skin or a leopard change his spots?

Great companies grow their intrinsic values over time, getting cheaper over time.

Equities are more interesting than bonds, as good equities can grow over time.

Invest in companies with long term growth and reasonable valuations.

With interest rate so low, valuation matters less (think this through).

You need money to make money!

Big rally has no windfall for small investors

Many of the stocks that retail investors are exposed to are fundamentally weak.

Do not expect companies with stress on balance sheets or lack of earnings visibility to perform.

What led to the correction in stocks prices?
1. fall in valuation multiples, or
2. earnings downgrades (mild, moderate or severe).

Emulate Buffett and Munger

Build equity through a holding company.

How many companies you have in your own (equity) holding company?

How much dividends you receive over the years?

How much have these companies grown in value over the years?

Dear 3iii,
Good morning, compliment from Kcchong on your golden rule and PE> 50.

"A business that increases its revenue and earnings throughout the years while keeping shareholder value will always see its share price go up in the long run - Philip Fisher"

But does the "Golden Rule" we are talking about here has any similarity with what Philip Fisher said?

Did Fisher named his statement as "Golden Rule"?

I would also like to add that the above statement is generally true, but not all the time.

If you buy those stocks at a lofty price, your return won't be encouraging, even for a long period.

Warren Buffet through Berkshire Hathaway invested in Coca Cola from year 1987. He invested in it because in his analysis, Coca Cola was an excellent quality company, and it still is. On 1st July 1990, share price of Coke was $5.69. At earnings of 30 cents per share, PE was only 19, a fair price to pay for a company which grew its earnings at a CAGR of 13.4% over the next 8 years to 82 cents a share in 1998. The share price grew at a much faster rate at a CAGR of 29% over the next 8 years to $42.59, six and a half baggers. PE ratio of Coca Cola in 1998 expanded to 52.

Over the next 21 years from July 1998 to July 30th, 2019, EPS of Coca Cola still grew by 83%, but just at CAGR of 2.9%. Its share price barely grew by 22.6% to $52.2 per share, or a CAGR of just 1%, while the Dow Industrial Index has doubled during the same period. The PE ratio of Coke has contracted to about 35. Those investors who bought Coke, a great company, at its peak price 21 years ago way under-performed the broad market during the same period.

It is the same story for Microsoft. If you have bought it in year 2000, your return won't be good. There are many others.

Quality versus Net asset value bargains

Quality: Price today $12. Price in 5 years?

Net asset value bargains: price today is $12 and its intrinsic value should be $18.



It is always better to buy compounders.

It is always better to buy growth.

If you are buying an asset because it is cheap, your upside is limited.

Buying cheap assets is not the name of the game. Do not focus on cheap assets.

Always better to buy high growth where the intrinsic value is growing, at an unreasonable price. Look for these diamonds in the stock markets.

You should look for both: good and cheap.

The greater the margin of safety the higher the potential return.

Always demand a huge margin of safety.

How to make $400 million from stocks?

Start with $10 million.

Identify a superb growth stock.

Grow this to $80 million. (How many years to achieve this?)

Then sell and redeploy this to another portfolio.

Grow this portfolio 5x. Voila, you achieve your $400 million target. (How many years to achieve this?)

Investing is about buying well

Buying a beaten down stock with recurrent income at low PE is buying well

Buying a good company with little opportunity for growth at 50 times PE is not buying well

Look at the 52 weeks high and low prices of each of your stock.

You will notice that it was not unusual for your stock prices to go up 50% for the year and to drop the equivalent 1/3rd for the same year. That is the nature of the stock prices fluctuation. Do you think the intrinsic value (or the business) of the company fluctuates so much too? Of course, not.

Therefore, as an investor, you should have your own strategy to take advantage of these price fluctuations. As a value investor, these price fluctuations offer you the opportunity to buy when the prices are obviously undervalued to intrinsic value. As to whether you wish to sell when it is highly priced or not to sell (hold long term), this is not so critical, especially if you are holding a great company with a very long run way ahead. You will still be fine.

On the other hand, you will definitely need to sell your gruesome companies when they are overpriced.

Game theory

Yes, you must know the game you are in.

Avoid the negative sum games (gambling in Genting / Short term frequent trading).

Some are zero sum games.

Better to be in positive sum games (holding great companies that grow intrinsic value over the long term.)



You must choose the game you wish to be in. Do you have the right philosophy and method to profit form your game with a high degree of probability?

IN 2007/2008, the market crashed. Yes, my portfolio went down 30%+. But I did not lose my capital. Still has a profit based on my initial costs. Still received dividends from the stocks I own.

I did not sell. Many sold at the depth of the market and guess what happened? That was also the best time to buy and hold for the long term.

Anyway, the same stocks I had are many times higher than before 2007 crash.

Risk in investing is when you do not know what you are doing.

raider,

Do you take your investing from others?

If not, then just do your own analysis.

You should realise I do not choose to play such stocks.

For the reasons given.

But you need not have to agree with me.

The KLCI peaked at 1880 in June 2014 and March 2018.

The KLCI today is at 1551.

This level of today was last seen in February 2012.

At below KLCI of 1500, the KLCI will be officially in bear market territory.

Value is appearing, hopefully sooner than later.
