Hahaha, they really protect Mas man. I think not a typo. It's called sabotage. Hahahaha. But mas loss not as much as I expected (i tot RM1p/share), so I think your stock price wont plunge like crazy la. Probably they did sell some asset after all Still I think you should sell as high as you can on Monday and don't touch this counter anymore.

Everyone knows even MAS itself has been saying will report some significant losses due to oil hedging loss.

When I saw forumer posted about profit time, I puzzled 

who knows MAS fly on Monday le...?

Airliners stocks only can trade, not suitable for long term holding due to

1. Business is cyclical in nature, anything bad happening (terrorist), fuel cost, flu can easily make them vulnerable to significant losses and could be in trouble. You need just one event that can sink them.

2. Business is run in high depreciation cost, a idle plane can means loss of million per month. You don't have enough passenger already can doom. The word is "enough'. Got customers is not good enough, must have high passenger rate.

3. Inability to pay generous dividend as all airliners company are running at high cashflow burning rate one and with high debt and borrowing in general. Planes simply expensive in both initial cost and maintenance.

Look at history of all airliners stocks, seldom there are airliners stocks that can let you hold 10-20 years or so which make one rich or make a lot of money out of it. Even the like that running at efficient one like SIA, it shares performance is underperform than other old fashioned dividend stocks.

Just my view. Don't mean necessary correct.

I'm banging my head on the table and wall now

That's why i said i DON'T think EVEN air asia would be able to get any loans. This is withstanding the fact that they are banker's darling, I always get surprised each time they manage to get more money to buy more fleet. LOL.

What happened to the Guinness drought plan?

Friday and Saturday night I get to relax 

Went for a nice dinner at Tony Romas and caught a movie...but we all end up back in here don't we? 

Another less clear day for Dow. KLCI very expensive at this level for me. Sure there are still some counters that can shoot based on developments like Puncak but fundamentally I think most are overpriced for now given the economy. We've ran ahead already and there's not much more to go imo.

Thanks for providing me the link to check dividends, and I've checked the link. So, to get the dividends, one must hold the shares at the ex-date, right? It doesn't matter when it was announced or the date of dividend payments, right?

So, if I take your link as reference, Daya had announced on 8th June abt the dividend, and the payment date will be on 20 July, ex-date being on 19th June. So only the ex-date should be taken into account, right? So, it's 19th June, and one has to have the shares before that date, i.e 18th June?

Was about to edit the last reply to include this question:
What does it mean by "Entitlement Subject" ?

hope Tanjung continue its uptrend

MAS has a 1.0293% weight in KLCI basket of 100 stock. There are 99 other stocks that holds 98.07% power in deciding whether KLCI is green or red. When MISC who has a 6.8184% weight in the KLCI, was losing a tonne of money oso no effect on KLCI, will MAS show so much effect? Also, note that EPF have been buying small sums of MAS the last two weeks, eventho it's everyone's knowledge that MAS is losing big in hedging.    I think we are going to look at a Malaysia boleh on Monday, but I could be wrong.

What will ultimately affect the KLCI is if a big number of retail investors got spooked and start throwing their shares together-gether in all/ heavily in some counters with weight in determining the KLCI index like MISC, SIME (6.7785%), PBB (6.464%), Tenaga (5.5422%), Maybank (5.3058%), IOICorp (4.8167%), Commerz (4.3109%), Petronas Gas (4.112), Digi (3.4137%), Genting (2.9208%), PLUS (2.9307%), BAT (2.6625%), TM (2.832%) plus 87 other such counters including MAS. If I was the EPF, I would probably either support MAS from dropping further / goreng the higher weighted counters to offset MAS's effect. 

If u are holding good fundamental counters now, i wouldn't worry yet.
