forgot.

well you can see the Q4 results is always much lower, right?

that page, where you took the screen shot, scroll up...
look at the last 5 years profits.
what trend do you see?

Or you can see Carlsberg.
Their Q2 is always much lower than Q1 every year.

2013 in recovering mode. back to its glorious day in 2010

business missed target in 2012 and 2013. tobacco company wor... how can miss 1?

Or you could say 2012 was just one bad year.

But then from 2010 onwards, we see profits go from 130 mil -> 122 mil -> skip 2012 -> 121 mil....

What's now your description of this company then?

normal for a tobacco or 4d counter... divvy counter

constant divvy, not much capital growth. i'll avoid such share

1 trend for sure, malays youngster are very into smoking nowadays

One thing I notice is many here have a tendency to base their investments on actual real life observations.
They see a business or a product, they see it well sold, they tend assume the company is a good investment.
Or they deal business with a plc, they assume the company is a good investment based on their observation (like payments/purchases etc)
Or they have a relative in a plc or they actually know the ceo, they assume the company is a good investment.

Sometimes it works but sometimes it won't.
Which means this isn't a fail proof strategy.

Why? Because one is basically judging a book by its cover.
What we see must be backed by financial numbers.
Like said yesterday, sometimes we can see a good business.
But that good business might not as be as profitable as it looks.
For instance, some good looking might be highly leveraged.
We can only see this by looking at its numbers.
Or we can see a good business, good profit too....
but whatever good is hindered by simple issues like EPS, making the stock investment highly expensive....
or sometimes there could huge mitigation lawsuits against the company we might not know unless we read the financials....
or even sometimes the business and good profit we see, is one without any growth... ie... year in year out, company profit is just constant and from market pro view point, such company's profits is unattractive due to the lack of growth......

better stop here........ for now.....

Thanks again! This reminds me to always look at their reports!
