That day I browsing stocks, I noticed ULICORP.
I think it was mentioned here sometime early last yer. I think by MrLoo. Wasn't taken seriously then.
It was around RM1 then, now its over RM4. Don't know reason for such increase. Would have been good to get a little then. Hopefully MrLoo benefitted.
Always easy to look back and find when would have been a good time to get in. But not so easy to know at that time was the right time...
There will be stocks like ULICORP where an ordinary stock surges way beyond expectations, turning into a multi bagger.
Why?
The G-Factor.
Was it played?
Answer YES. (Many years before that it too was G-ed)
My arguments now would be (about) the same as previously.
At the time of those postings,
was Ulicorp an ordinary company?
answer: not only was it ordinary but it was rather below average.

This is the current performance.
When we talked about it...
we were only looking as far as 2013 numbers.
which means we were talking whose profits went from 18 mil >> 16 mil >> 17 mil >> 16 mil
that was the only track record available.
Are those numbers indicating a good company?
Or is that clearly a below average company?
The only saving grace was the stock was the stock was selling at a PE below 10.
What did it mean to me?
It was simple.
A clearly an average stock trading at a slightly cheaper valuation.
Would I buy just cos of the low PE?
My answer then is no.
and my answer in the future is still a no.
and oh yeah...
I never did mention it...
but this stock actually was recommended by my broker to me...
reason simple.
Someone has plans for it in the wok.
That's all.
Now I am not a wok player.
I am not that kind of trader.
Never worked no matter how much effort I put paper trading such stocks.
Always at someone's else mercy.
But this is my poison.
yes?
anyway...
the stock profits did improve...
as profits went from 16 million to 23 million.
Now is it justifiable to be a multi bagger?
check the track record...
check the balance sheet....
I would miss such stock a million times.
And I would also miss stock like BRAhim a million times.
It's not my type of game.

pssst.
sometimes it is a waste of time talking to someone with vested interest in a particular stock.
cos not many like to hear the weakness in their stock selection.
