I'm not much good at this sort of thing myself, but I just want to chime in on behalf of all of the silent readers that I find this fascinating and I'm very appreciative of this sort of this analysis-in-action. Thanks very much!

  2012 contract extension, the 10 million MyKads was only worth 180 million.

yesterday, the 10 million 'newer' myKads is now worth 220.2 million.

newer material, newer security costs government 42.2 million more.....   
Anyway, if you want a more precise estimate, we know passport data contract is worth 284.7 million.
It runs 5 years until 2018.....

Too much work already?     

Want to surrender already?

I know... you want to jump to the part ...... can buy or cannot buy.
I think la....
understanding market capital helps.

how many shares is there in Datasonic already?

675 million shares.

Yesterday, Datasonic market capital = 675x362 = 2,443,500,000.

This means if Datasonic is sold lock, stock and barrel to you, cksoon, you have to pay RM2,443,500,000.

If that's too many comas and zilos, it says 2.4 Billion.

maybe from an investor, point of view....
you can ask, what do you get in return?
If you use, mykad potential profit, you will only get 87 million.
passport worth 284 million. Started recently only.
Use short cut and do a simple 30% profit, the passport business brings you another 85 million.
All in 172 million profit.
Mind you, the 172 million profit is NOT all in one year.
passport project is 5 years and mykad project is 2 years plus.
Worth it?

maybe from a trader point of view...
yesterday, Datasonic rocket Up by 50 sen.
This means the market capital rose by 675x50 = 337,500,000.
(675 = how many million shares it has. 50 = how much price increased)
As a trader, the trader estimates the contract 'value' is only worth about 87 million in profits....
But the value of the company rose by 337.5 million....     
So for a trader using a semi-fundamental thinking.....
could be thinking that ....
maybe..... the stock price has gone up more than the contract potential......
agree?

cksoon

Hope all the above helps your thinking process.
I would say, such thinking is needed......
Armed with such thinking, you won't be GAMBLING blindly in the market...

however.... market is still market.
Sometimes, market sentiments trumps common sense thinking .....

Want to really goreng stock... must pool at least 8 figures trading limit.
