Haha...same as another friend of mine telling me YTLP cannot move further as it has rally from 1.75 to 1.9x. Now he 

The story does not end here...My frend bought back at RM 2.15 

Well, a lot of time is like this. I remember Sapcres was at 1.40 one time and my friend ask me to sell it because it has already rally 0.70 to 1.40, but he bought it at 2.x. I was like  because that is when I start selling

Does it still advisable to buy this stock? Am still looking for the right stock as my first trade. 

PM panasonic88 when you buy, she is always interested in "virgin" stock buyers. haha 

eh? why is that? lol.

btw, YTLPOWR has been on my watchlist for about 3 month now.
im more of a long-term trader. seeking at least 15% a year.

OOT;
other than this, probably one of the REITs. still looking for the other 1-2 more.

15% return from YTLPOWER every year? I doubt that  10% still achieveable.

Haha my bad. 15% was actually as a whole. Not just YTLPOWR. 10% huh? Looks promising.
May I know the current Fair Price? Thanks.

For very long term + stable dividends, YTLPOWER still buyable especially after some reduction of share price after the recent dividend ex-date.

I suggest you read up more about the business though before buying. Can't really suggest a stock to you unless we know your risk level and expected return.

Good luck on your first purchase, and PM panasonic88 when you buy, she is always interested in "virgin" stock buyers. haha 

The price plunged from 10sen from 2.28 to 2.18 on 12-Mar. Is it due to the warrant exercise announced on the same day? thanks.
LISTING'S CIRCULAR NO. L/Q :  56311 OF  2010Kindly be advised that the abovementioned Companys additional 11,934,201  newordinary shares of RM0.50 each arising from the aforesaid Exercise will begranted listing and quotation with effect from 9.00 a.m.,  Monday, 15 March2010.

I am thinking to top-up some for long term keeping.

Nah small amount of warrant exercise normally don't shake the share much. YTLPOWER shares normally go through a cycle of ups and downs according to EPF dumping and buying activities. If there is no reason it is up, most likely later it will come down. It's quite straightforward for this counter. In my opinion anyway.

Skidd, thanks

KUALA LUMPUR: RAM Ratings says YTL POWER INTERNATIONAL BHD []'s (YTLPI) move to roll out its RM2.5 billion worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) network is quite unexpected.  The rating agency said on Thursday, March 11 this was not in line with its track record of investing in long-term concession assets with stable and sustainable cashflow.  "Although RAM Ratings is less sanguine about the group venturing into a non-concession-based business, we note that YTLPI’s power and water concession assets will remain its major cashflow contributors," it said.  YTLPI's subsidiaries are in power generation, water and sewerage services, electricity transmission and telecommunications.  The ratings agency said while the group will be viewed to have a more aggressive risk appetite if it deviates further from its strategy of only investing in concession-based utility and infrastructure assets, "we note that the management has been circumspect in its investment decisions and has demonstrated good acumen in business execution thus far".  RAM Ratings, meanwhile, reaffirmed the AA1 ratings of YTLPI’s RM2 billion commercial papers/medium-term notes programme (2007/2014) (CP/MTN) and RM2.2 billion serial redeemable bonds (2008/2013); long-term ratings have a stable outlook.  It also reaffirmed the P1 rating of the YTLPI’s CP/MTN. The ratings remain supported by the group’s robust business profile stemming from its regulated asset base, particularly its investments in power and water-sewerage services via its unit YTL Power Generation Sdn Bhd (YTLPG) in Malaysia, PowerSeraya Ltd (PowerSeraya) in Singapore and Wessex Water Ltd (WWL) in the United Kingdom (UK).  In this regard, WWL has maintained its position as one of the most efficient water and sewerage-services companies in the UK. At the power-generation end, YTLPG has been able to achieve an availability level of around 90% for the past six years; PowerSeraya exhibits a strong operating performance, underscored by its availability of about 88% as at end-March 2009.  "Nonetheless, the group’s capital structure remained constrained by its hefty debt burden of RM22.92 billion as at end-December 2009, with a corresponding net gearing ratio of 2.02 times. However, most of these debts are parked under core subsidiaries that generate stable cashflow," it said.  RAM Ratings said YTLPI had healthy debt-protection measures; its company-level adjusted operating cashflow debt coverage (OCFDC) ratio was 0.28 times as at end-June 2009.  Based on RAM Ratings’ cashflow analysis, YTLPI’s OCFDC ratio is projected to range around 0.17–0.25 times throughout the tenures of YTLPI’s debt issues.

Dear Fellow YTLPOWER fans (we are too small to be consider as shareholders so i use fans) 

Base on my observation, YTLPOWER will 99.99% constantly giving out good dividends in time to come due to their high debts. As they normally use shares to exchange with dued bonds... So if they don give good yields the bond issuers will not take up the offer then. That is base on my own observations only. So i am quite sure that we don face an issue of inconsistent yield unless there are sudden tax impose by the government on that quarters. Correct me if wrong. 

Bond issuers if I am not mistaken get a fixed return when they are due after X number of years. I don't think they are affected by Div allocations or issue bonds based on past and future div.

Just a layman's view. Maybe a bond expert can clarify.

Mat bond, James bond any one out there?
