2 side of a coin lo, Boon gor.
Be greedy when other fear... If unlucky, catch falling knife lo. The rest I agree.
Likewise with Maybank, my thought is its bad.. More provision coming.. Result will be bad.. But being biggest bank in Malaysia... Hold and wait while collect dividend. Profit will no doubt be better in the longer run. If not Maybank, then who wor? Don't talk public bank la
Oil and gas die, bank die... All reports say more provision expected, means oil and gas going to face another shit soon..
Actually miss reading your post.
Dunno how come.

First thing first...
It's ok to NOT agree with what I write...

I teeeell you one thing.
Those fancy quotes...
Seriously... throw it away.
It tends to do one more harm than good ...
cos it is... this particular quote.... 'be greedy when other are fearful...;
it's just saying
buy when others are selling. Nothing more.

It's exactly like saying in terms of stock trading technicals...
buy when the stock is oversold....
well what's wrong if that?
from my experience...
there are some stocks ....
they tend to be in the oversold position for a long time...
what is low today...
could get even worst in the future.
ok... from fundamental pov...
say... err.... Parkson. LOL!
When it fell from its great heights to 2.00+...
I did warn before.. and I even warn when it was 1.20+ i think...
company was growing...
new stores were opening ...
reported sales in China was growing....
and even the 'great' Tan Teng Bo/iCap is a shareholder of the stock...
and mind you...
the company was constantly buying back shares too...
so profits drop...
share price drop...
'perhaps' this is just blip....
so if one used that as their justification...
PLUS.... greedy when others are scared shit strategy....
look at the outcome!
many times....
many times I see....
when a stock falls...
people start throwing in the value thing and then the scared shit strategy...
and they just buy.....
You know...
Mayban... it was around 8.20 or 8.10....
when I sounded caution against it.....
oh yeah it had dividends...
BUT mind you the dividends as shown ...
the dividends has been declining ...
so there was a 20 sen dividend recently...
but look at the price today....
whatever good yield the stock was giving when it was trading at 8.10...
everything it's all muntah baik....
as the stock is trading at 7.60+
and yes...
more provision could be possible....
the OnG thing...
like I said...
I was merely sharing a thinking mindset...
and highlighting how come the different mindset for some people...
the oil has not dipped below 40 for a long time...
but people is still skeptical about the sector compared to previously when the stock was just falling and started to hit below 50? i mean... people appeared to be more opportunist when the oil prices
start falling compared to now when the oil prices
has fallen.
for example again....
in the issue of mindset thinking...
and using Parkson has an example again....
I noticed from the daily stock shareholder changes announcements...
Tabung Haji kowboi's have been buying more of the stock.
LOL! Averaging down.

Now some would use Tabung Haji's purchases as a reasoning to buy Parkson.
If a big fund like TH can buy...
surely the big bois ... they cannot be wrong one ....
what's wrong with such thinking?
well... the first thing they should ask is....
how good is Tabung Haji's kowbois?
Are they any good in the stock market?
shouldn't that be the first thing to ask?
and if they know that answer......................

..... so short the post. LOL!
