SOME THOUGHTS ON ANALYSING STOCKS (KISS)

Ideally a stock you plan to purchase should have all of the following charateristics:

• A rising trend of earnings dividends and book value per share.
• A balance sheet with less debt than other companies in its particular industry.
• A P/E ratio no higher than average.
• A dividend yield that suits your particular needs.
• A below-average dividend pay-out ratio.
• A history of earnings and dividends not pockmarked by erratic ups and downs.
• Companies whose ROE is 15 or better.
• A ratio of price to cash flow (P/CF) that is not too high when compared to other stocks in the same industry.

well, at least one thing for sure, wait after budget 2019, since is austerity kind of budget. As for the CGT, not sure if it will be implemented or not. If CGT is implemented on the market, disaster in the making. While I tend to think they won't be CGT for stock market bcoz is really suicidal BUT anything is possible. For those heavy on the market now, take care.

EPF is investing your money for your old age. Their investment horizon is long term. Their investment objectives are probably modest: protection of your capital, and promise of a satisfactory return (more than inflation).

However, Nestle has delivered more than the average market returns over the last 20 years.

Ok to be fair raider did not go into detail analysis , when making the sweeping comment, that epf net position is disposing which in fact epf has increased by 1.81m units or 10.4% loh...!!

Raider apologise for that loh....but raider is not dishonest loh....in fact raider says & give the mechanism of confirming the epf position loh....!!

But put it this way, pls do not run the risk of extrapolating that epf is going to continue buy more nestle going fwd loh.......!!
EPF has increased the shareholding by 10.4% todate but share price had gone up by roughly 60% loh....!!
My school maths teacher always tell raider always beware of the mathematical imbalance loh....!!

That does not mean epf will not start disposing going fwd mah.....!!
In fact the latest announcement EPF reported on 12 OCT they are selling 6k units, and raider suspect more selling on the way with high valuation of NESTLE with PE above 50x, it is ripe time for epf profit taking loh....!!

So do becareful in chasing such a overvalue stock in the current challenging time loh....!!

Ben Graham Checklist for Finding Undervalued Stocks

In addition to identifying and quantifying important value components, Graham left us with an assortment of general stock selection rules. He created a number of checklists at different times in his career to serve different investment objectives and portfolio strategies. The checklists review different aspects of a company's financial strength, intrinsic value, and the realtionship with price.

Here is a
Ben Graham Checklist for Finding Undervalued Stocks

Criterias

Risk
1. Earnings to price (the inverse of P/E) is double the high-grade corporate bond yield. If the high-grade bond yields 7%, then earnings to price should be 14%.
2. P/E ratio that is 0.4 times the highest average P/E achieved in the last 5 years.
3. Dividend yield is 2/3 the high-grade bond yield.
4. Stock price of 2/3 the tangible book value per share.
5. Stock price of 2/3 the net current asset value.

Financial strength
6. Total debt is lower than tangible book value.
7. Current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) is greater than 2.
8. Total debt is no more than liquidation value.

Earnings stability
9. Earnings have doubled in most recent 10 years.
10. Earnings have declined no more than 5% in 2 of the past 10 years.


If a stock meets 7 of the 10 criteria, it is probably a good value, according to Graham.

If you're income oriented, Graham recommended paying special attention to items 1 through 7.

If you're concerned about growth and safety, items 1 through 5 and 9 and 10 are important.

If you're concerned with aggressive growth, ignore item 3, reduce the emphasis on 4 through 6, and weigh 9 and 10 heavily.

Again, these checklists are a guideline and example, not a cookbook recipe you should follow precisely. They are a way of thinking and an example of how you may construct your own value investing system.

The criteria mentioned above are probably more focussed on dividends and safety than even today's value investors choose to be. But today's value investing practice owes an immense debt to this type of financial and investment analysis.

Graham's Five Strategies
In 1949, Benjamin Graham identified five strategies for common stock investing in "The Intelligent Investor."

1. General trading. The investor predicts and participates in the moves of the market similar to dollar-cost averaging.

2. Selective trading. The investor picks stocks that they expect will do well in the market over the short term; a year, for example.

3. Buying cheap and selling dear. The investor enters the market when prices low and sells stock when the prices are high.

4. Long-pull selection. The investor selects stocks that they expect with grow quicker than other sticks over a period of years.

5. Bargain purchases. The investor selects stocks that are priced below their true value as measured by some techniques.

Graham emphasized that every investor must decide how they want to manage their portfolio. Experienced investors may prefer and be comfortable with a buy low and sell high strategy, whereas investors who have less time to research and follow the market might benefit more from investing in funds that track the market and adopt a long-term view.

There is no right way to manage a portfolio, but investors should behave rationally by using facts and data to back up decisions by attempting to reduce risk and maintain sufficient liquidity.

My focus in investing has been long term greedy. Thus, of the above 5 strategies of Benjamin Graham, I have adopted 3 of them in my investing, namely predominantly strategy no 4 (80% of my portfolio value) and strategies 5 and 3 (20% of my portfolio value).

Strategy 4 is growth investing at reasonable prices. Strategy 5 is the classical deep value investing of Benjamin Graham. Of course, there are times when it was obvious that the market were obviously low and were obviously high. These obvious recognizable periods were not common. They coincided with the extremes of the markets.

Speculators, Investors and Market Fluctuations

Speculators versus Investors


Mark Twain mentioned the two times in life when one shouldn't speculate: "when you can't afford it, and when you can!".

Speculators buy in the hopes or assumptions that others will want to buy the same asset (be it a painting, a baseball card, or a stock) later.

Investors buy the cash flow the investment returns to its owner. (As such, a painting can never be an investment by this definition!)



Stock Market Bubbles

Bubbles in the stock market form due to faulty logic that first propels speculators to bid up prices followed by the inevitable bursting which destroys the wealth of many.



What determines whether an investor will make money in the market or not?

The answer is his psychological make-up.

If he does his own stock analysis and views the prices offered by Mr. Market as an opportunity to buy low and sell high, he will do fine.

If Mr. Market's offering prices guide the investor's outlook of what the stock price should be, he should get someone else to manage his money!



Market fluctuations

Most market fluctuations are the result of day-to-day distortions between supply and demand of particular stocks, not of changes in fundamentals.

Investors who take advantage of these distortions by focusing on the fundamentals will be successful.

Those who invest with their emotions are sure to fail in the long-run.

Do you have superior insight to do better than the market or better than the other players in the market?

Are you a step ahead of others to be better in the market?

Your goal in investing is not to achieve average market return but to be better than that.

Definition of a Stock Bubble


A bubble occurs in a stock when:

1. Implausible assumptions are applied to justify its present price using normal valuation (e.g. DCF) models.

2. There are people buying at these prices ignoring these implausible assumptions.


Based on this defintition, Nestle is a bubble while Pbank and Petdag are not at current prices.

People are risk averse, in general.

By this, it means they will prefer to invest in assets with less risk than more.

An important point to note is they may not be aware of all risks, as some risks are hidden.
