Its just that i'm a loyal consumer on their products.

And their products are not that expensive 

My friends' auntie bought Nestle at RM 9 dont know how many years ago and that time she say it is expensive. 

Just like people say GAB is expensive at RM 9.xx now 

We have inflation problem so 9.xx is not expensive compared to 9.xx 5 years ago. 

So cherroy also agree to buy GAB at 9.65 now? 

OT a bit Cherroy

As you say our paper money is getting smaller and smaller

Do you agree gold is a better way to keep the value of our investment? 

I don't know what's wrong with our inflation index, cost of living has skyrocketed YoY yet it's still ~2%.

Gold can be a place, but stock market is the good place to hedge inflation as well.

I will pick stock market anytime vs gold, as with good dividend stocks, you are expecting to make 5% at least from the stock besides the capital appreciation part.

Gold price almost double from the low of 2008 crisis.
while in this period, some good dividend stock price register also double or even more from the low which not yet taking account into the 5-6% received.

Here go read the October 2010 CPI report if you want to understand better.

CPI OCT 2010

Added on December 3, 2010, 11:19 pmAnyone has research paper on Tecnic? Since so hot now, wanna take a look also. 

YES is inder YTL Communications & itself is under YTLPower........however I think both YTLE & YTLPower are interrelated. Mind you YTLE has the 2.3GHz Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) spectrum in Peninsular Malaysia which YTLPower doesn't have. According to my sources, YTLPower paid & provide all the infrastructure [ very expensive] & YTLE provide the  Wimax spectrum [ the incubator].......so it 60:40 percentage on profits.......could someone me please correct me if I am wrong. If I were you I would go for YTLE shares........more power so to say.
Cheers brother SuperToi........you have a great weekend too.  

Bro, realy thanks alot..   I think YTLE is more depends on YES, while YTLPOWER still has alot of other business, is it correct?

Extiva Communications Sdn Bhd, development, ownership and operation of narrowcast digital media networks through Infoscreen Networks PLC, which is listed on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange, and wireless fixed broadband services through Airzëd Services Sdn Bhd. YTLE's most prized asset is its 2.3GHz Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) spectrum in Peninsular Malaysia, which is owned through Y-MAX Networks Sdn Bhd.

Here go read the October 2010 CPI report if you want to understand better.

CPI OCT 2010

You can see that price of vegetables went up 15% and alcoholic beverages 6%.  But the overall index is 1.7%. Does not include price of property and car though, so the recent run up in house prices is not reflected. 

Also the CPI calculation is based on 'essential items only' so if you want to splurge on gadgets, imported goods, nice food, etc etc it will not be reflected as well. SO you can expect your personal CPI to be 1-2x higher than CPI especially those big spender urban dwellers.

If you live in Kampung and have a simple lifestyle, the 1.7% CPI is probably not too far off.

yok.. try to answer your q, someone else can correct me if wrong

-W is warrant that is dished out by the company. e.g. IJM-WC is warrant that issued by IJM before. usually conversion 1:1. at the end of the expiry, u need to convert to mother share if u still holding it. that means you have to fork out your money to pay 'the exercise price'.

where else -C is structured warrant that is issued by investment banks. usually American style, ie cash setttlement. conversion rate differs, sometimes 1:3, even 1:10 also got. At the end of the expiry date, if the warrant is in the money, you'll get paid in cash. hence the term cash settlement. you CANNOT convert to mother share at any time, not during the trading day, and not even before expiry.
If it is out of money, all your money burn lo.

put warrant if not mistaken, is for hedging purposes. Since it is not shariah approved, I didnt bother reading about it. But I remember reading somewhere in Robert Kiyosaki book, mentioning how to leverage and make money using put warrant.

Hope this help.

just some amendments. if the CW is out of money, no harm -you just lose a little money. if it's below the strike price (all CWs have this), then might as well just burn it.

Got a personal question for you, cherroy, haha

From you posts, seem like you are more incline towards high dividend stocks and reits investment. Don't you do trading or invest in undervalued stocks?

Btw, UMA you abit if you don't mind, what is your capital appreciation with this style of investment over the years?
