I sold off YeeLee and Elsoft today and most of Yinson as well. I will try and sell off more counters in the coming weeks.
I added Johotin to my portfolio for mid to long term investment. Also added MMSV for short term goreng. Will decide whether to add NHFatt to my portfolio.
I also did a visit ala Peter Lynch style to Genting Highlands last week. I am impressed. The place was packed with tourists. The old and tired look is gone. The new Sky Avenue Mall, the Skyway Cable Car, Sky Casino and the coming attractions like the 20th Century Fox World Genting has really changed things. See
http://blog.malaysia-asia.my/2015/11/20th-...ld-genting.html I think Genting shares will be re-rated in the future. I will be adding my existing shares in Genting if the price dip.
In contrast, I am not sure about turnaround stocks like Parkson. The Parkson in KLCC and Pavilion looks quite dead even on weekends. The Parkson stores in China are suffering because consumers shop online. We shall see whether Parkson survive this onslaught.
I don't see Parkson returning to it's former glory, no way. But it is heavily been sold off, irrationally I might add. 5 years ago, when you look at the adjusted stock price, it was RM4++, nearly 7 times the current stock price. All it needs to do is get back in the black. Mid RM1.xx is attainable. It's very undervalued, even when just looking at its stake in PRGL and PRA.
Thing is, in Malaysia they are still expanding. MyTown has Parkson, while Paradigm Mall JB will also have Parkson as an anchor. I personally do my shopping at Parkson near my house.
My disappointment in Parkson is hey still don't have online shopping in Malaysia.
At the end of the day though, 75% of revenue for the group comes from China. Parkson Bhd is effectively a proxy to the Chinese retail sector. I personally think the Macros look good and it would lead to a reversal of fortunes.
