Election themed stock is way too over rated.

Point me, over the past years/elections ..... just one stock that made it great during pre-election 

Utusan Melayu (M) Bhd
Currently, political parties and politicians hold few direct stakes in Utusan Melayu, which is 49.77% owned by Umno.
Historically, the Umno directly-owned newspaper publisher has saw its share price shot up during the run up to the election.
In 2013, Utusan share price went up by 8.54% to 63.5 sen on May 3, the last trading day before polling day on May 5. Post-election, its shares shot up to 75 sen, up 18% between May 3 and May 22, 2013.

Media Prima Bhd
It easily dominates the free-to-air television segment of the media industry and certain to be a beneficiary of general election.
Media Prima controls several television networks, newspapers and radio stations and has politically linked shareholders. The EPF has a 13.22% stake in Media Prima while Amanah Raya Bhd has 11.09%.
In 2013, the media company saw its share price went up post-election. Its share price rose 11.8% to RM1.99 a day after the election and subsequently, rose to RM2.44 on May 28, 2013.

KUB Malaysia Bhd
A diversified government-linked company, KUB is one stock that has remained range bound in its trading during the past general election. Its shares rose 11.3% to 39.5 sen a day after polling in 2013 but has remained subdued since then.

Don't rely on articles such as this or analysts reports la.

Don't be lazy. Do it your own.



I can't straight away tell you the one who wrote that article is simply cherry picking.

Tenaga before and after 13th general election?

On 10 April 2013, the Election Commission of Malaysia announced that nominations for election candidates would be held on 20 April, with the general election set for 5 May. The early voting date of 30 April was also announced by the Election Commission.

Tenaga before and after 13th general election?

Oh. You used the chart of Tenaga.

I shall say I STRONGLY disagree.

Oh yeah, the chart was very the canton then but have you done the extra work and check out Tenaga's earnings performance then?

30nov12 quarter showed a huge jumps in profits. Maybe be a driver for the price after that period



Why do u disagree?

2 Jan - 6.9
9 April - 7.62
10 April - 7.70
11 April - 7.78
6 May - Jump up to 8.17 after election

When to buy? Maybe 23 Jan when they announced good results
When to Sell? Maybe after it announced -50% Quarter yoy for May 2015

Just curious.
Why day traders and stock speculators like to call themselves investors when they are obviously not?
Why need to call a dog, a cat?

Sorry England was out.

I disagree simply because it was an earnings driven stock (and not election theme stock).

So back to those stocks you highlighted on the star newspaper la

Apa macam? You have not answered the issues I raised.

I guess based on these stocks, if one wants to punt, is the buy on the last trading day before polling and sell few weeks after volume goes down

Outlook. The recently announced binding heads of agreement with Geely as Porton strategic partnership put DRB on a better footing. While Geely is more popularly known for its successful acquisition of Volvo, we are sceptical on its ability to assist Proton from a technical and marketing perspective as well as to penetrate new markets given that Geely is also a relatively weak brand from a global perspective with a global market share of <5%. Proton still has to deal with the challenges posed by increasing competition and a weak brand perception. The outlook for DRB remains challenging given the tough operating environment of lower sales of motor vehicles amidst stiff competition.

But that's simply cherry picking.

And with past data, so easy to be good.

Take the utusan example. The author highlighted the high of May. But if he used May end data, the performance would be very average only.

And if a punter bought Utusan on any other random date...punter might even lose money.

I guess it is a high risk high return type of punting. Cherry picking stocks that shot up for few weeks after polling day 2013, and buy the same stocks just before this year polling assuming that history will repeat itself.

For utusan example, I think timing is key cause it is a lousy stock

Yet to see the high return.

The only thing constant for the 3 stocks mentioned is the gap up after polling day and uptrend for 1-3 weeks. Based on 2013 data, the right time is to buy at the last trading day before the polling day.

Risk is history may not repeat itself this year or Opposition wins this GE
