Notes to ownself once again.
These are a traders notes la...
Did I compare CIMB vs Maybank?
Where's the chart(s) ?
This is Maybank

This is CIMB viewed on the SAME time frame.

the zoom view

And CIMB too has a CLEAR TRENDING CHANNEL.
Unlike Maybank, CIMB has a channel which is trending higher.
Does this make CIMB a better banking stock then Maybank?
I do not know. (ayam is trader la... what you expect?)
However... what is interesting or what I am seeing is this interesting set of data....

CIMB's recent 3 quarterlies is showing that CIMB is making more and more money.
whereas this is Maybank....

and clearly Maybank is making less and less money rather rapidly.
Which is a sharp contrast from CIMB.
Is this why CIMB chart is showing an uptrend channel, while Maybank is showing a rather sharp downtrend channel?Which one better?
Do I want to be in the banking sector in an environment where the central bank had just lowered the interest rates?
Where is the updated set of banking ratios in the sector?
Which bank has the better performance ratios?
Don't know...don't know...don't know...
Trading always about possibilities or some say probabilities...
and trends....
Even earnings has a trend...
so I have to ask myself....
what if the earnings trend continue?
what if Maybank next quarterlies show another drastic decline in quarterly profits?
what if Maybank next quarterlies show a decline in profit of more than 30%?
not possible?
if and if this earnings trend continues to decline, wouldn't the chance of Maybank stock continue to drift downwards?
ah ....
of course if next quarterlies profit increases...
then of course the stock price could breakout of the downtrend and rebounds.
sure it's possible....
but to bet now....
won't me eating lobster or ikan bilis depends on it?
do I favour such a bet?
hmmmm...
oh.... the dividend yield.
LOL!
trailing dividends is 50 sen la.
can count or not.
LOL!
the classical dividend yield or the earnings.
which will have more impact on the stock price?
well... clearly... for now.... the earnings is winning.
so trade the stock for the yield ah?
LOL!
oh another interesting fact...
Trailing dividends = 50 sen
fy 2015 dividend = 54 sen
fy 2014 dividend = 57 sen
fy 2013 dividend = 53.50 sen
fy 2012 dividend = 65 sen
fy 2011 dividend = 68 sen
based on the last 5+ years (some might insist on more years but I am lazy la) .... Maybank's dividends is declining....
point to note hor...
wait... let me paste these simple points posted earlier...

Ok... is Maybank even cheap, now?
1. Define cheap. Is Maybank cheap just cos the share price is falling?
2. How does it bank ratios stack up?
Is Maybank the best option for the banking sector? Is their numbers improving or declining?
3. Earnings performance... 3 quarters of double digit earnings decline.
When will the rot stop? What if next quarter another double digit decline?
* 3 simple fundamental questions *
Technical point of view.
Look at the chart... look at the chart.
I can talk all I want.. but the chart says all it want to say about the stock.
Lower lows, lower highs...
Clear down channel....
Ok. If this was not Maybank... based on the same chart, would you be as gung ho?
Or is the name Maybank, carries more weight.
When trader trades, they ALL have their own trading setup.
Is this a setup that a trader would use as an trading entry?
I used it blunty - the where is the beef...
but what's the risk/reward ration at this point of time?
Rush to buy a stock stuck in a clear down channel?
Are you sure?
let's see what happens.....
at this point...
I do not have any trading positions....
but as a trader...
one is always fluid.....
my own notes laaaaa....
--------------------------------------------------------------------
both Maybank and CIMB had not fared well since the posting.
and the very obvious question?
why the banking sector?
* pricing. Maybank had not traded at such prices since 2014... hence it's always natural that some would form a belief that such 'low' price would equals to 'value'....
