No Land/Construction/Infra-structure related counters?

Anyone mind to share why Bstead got attention of some sifus here ? Is it because:
1)the interim report is coming soon and possibility of dividend
2)the current rights issue pulled down the price
3)cheap (in terms of PE)
4)the bstead-or mentioned by lklatmy (is it a warrant ?)
5)other reason...

thank you   

Construction is a dangerous area to be in particularly in Malaysia, as it is more political linked, contract awarded etc issue are highly depended on political decision. While some company exist just based on favourism of the political decision, not surviving and competiting in the market on its own.

Not to say all construction is bad, just highlight the risk of it.

Over the long term, it is always those consumer related, hard asset related (including plantation) are the one that actually give good return rate in term of dividend besides the capital appreciation side. Finance can be dangerous as well, must pick the one really good one, as finance company as shown in lastest finance crisis can be vulnerable to any fallout in economy. A surge of NPL can bring down the 100 years old finance company overnight.

it's just that right now, Bstead's looking cheap after the rights issue. still deciding whether plantation or construction. 

ops i quote the wrong one.

Is hard asset related includes properties??

Btw today is a nightmare to me as I play contra with LionInd and didn't manage to sell it on Friday       

KNM n Scomi just plain sucks     

wow ppl is selling the Boustead OR.

2.80 + 0.80 = 3.60

now tarding at 3.67, still earning 7 sens mah

so you mean in this situation, one has to cut loss.

yah i believe so, chances are 50-50.

but i need money to milk my daughter.    can't punt like dat.

p/s: wait for my main dish Boustead to fall below 3.60.
