OT.

You bought a lot of Citi shares yesterday.

You have been eyeing on Citi for quite some time

Correct me if I am wrong.

CIMB charges RM 2 for the fund transfer and the max amount could be limited to RM 5,000.00

I am using Public Bank to pay Broker under bills which does not charge. On top of that, could be higher limit than RM 5,000 ( I did pay more than RM5k before in one single payment ).

Online payments to me are safe, and I am the frequent user to pay bills, credit cards and do bank transfers. Lot of time saved , and finding the car parkings at banks almost put me off. On top of that, pay bills in time and better cashflow planning..

Good Luck.

To add one more,

For beginners, do not always think of contra gains .

Correct me if I am wrong.

Very confusing . Sounds like MBA lecturer

Sometimes, when brokers issue calls to buy, i just wait for 6 months or so, to buy at cheaper prices.

I find it safer that way.

Just my own DIY method.

A lot of things in this world are basing on mere assumptions.

Even in accounting, it always assumes the co should be able to operate on Going Concern Basis, the rests are true.

But if the Governments worldwide do not support, then there is a big question mark over the problem of " going concern"

But if the fact that certain reports help you to make money, why not take the advantage of them ?

The brokers pay these analysts highly, there must a reason for it.

My trading system has all my shares porfolio under the "portfolio management " button or something sounds like that.

Normally You need to sign a form to agree and pass back to the broker.

KL people is lacking knowledge on this area.

The CDS acc is always tied to your trading account with that broker only.

It is like using internet banking , no way to using CIMB system to do Maybank transactions.

Partly for security purpose.

That is why those holding Master or whatever in Investing are not guaranteed to be Billionaires.

Could stand a higher chance than the rest.

Investing is all about Fear and Hope.

Even External Auditor's report carries some missing words " Hoping that the company would be able to operate on going concern basis ***", thereafter, auditors would be able to get constant yearly fees. They treat their clients kinda " long term Investments" also.

Some investors are hoping dividends come forever.

Not the wrong way also.

*** duty of auditors to say so, if foresee companies not able to operate on Going Concern Basis.

Some companies such as Genting , Resort World ( Genting M ) , and maybe YTL give Vouchers or coupons for you to enjoy their facilities.

You are not entitled for that.

Some said they approach Maybank and still getting them ( I heard it quite a long time ago ).

You can call Jupiter Help Desk to find out more " firsthand " info yourself., or any issues you need to clarify.

It depends.

Private placements could mean, the companies are still in the expansion path, hence need more funds to be injected into the companies, meaning the business or profit is still growing at least proportionally or rapidly.

At the end of the day, EPS on enlarged basis is still maintained or growing.

Axreit and RCECap are just two examples of using private placements to expand their businesses.

There is nothing to be alarmed of with such a company.

Meaning, the original intention of a private placement could be more appropriately used for business expansions.

You still need to filter out the good ones from the bad ones ( that could have misused the funds for other objectives )

So an analysis has to be carried by an investor before investing .

That, we call Investing per se.

Good luck.

Investing is not like other professional sports , where young ages tend to have more energy to sustain.

Investing is more like in a state of the mind, while lot and lot of data are being kept , bigger capacity than a super computer.

And then comes the interpretation process whether to invest or not to invest.

And at of the end of it, there is no guarantee for success.

Haha, anything to do with US is always good.

But investors are shifting to Asia leh.

Let them ( US ) turning into a big casino if they really want to.

Feel good factor is everywhere.

BTW: HFT was defeated by humans when it short sell stocks to pennies. A trap set up by the humans to con HFT. HFT is not something so great as I first thought.

I believe most Malaysians do not have the intelligence of HFT to sell a blue chip for one sen ( If Bursa allows ) , but future versions could be more intelligence . Nothing is impoosible.

Neverlah if you have total trust in them.

That is the beauty of investing in Malaysia, not liking to have HFT for the next 10 years.

After that, do expect HFT version 10 in town.

It could be a mistake for not automatically consolidating into one transaction.

No request is needed to be made in the first place in current situation or many years back.

NTA is simple form of fair value to me ( in a very conservative manner ) . For banks, Price to Book value is always use.

For lazy people like me, when NTA is easily given, I would assume NTA as the book value ( lazy man way ). Plse do not follow me on this shortcut.

The takeover of banks could be in the region of 1.5x Price to book value. So it is about ( 1.5x3.5) rm 5.25. To privatize a bank, that is the fair value to do so.

Just some very rough guidelines, for instance some people may want to buy your unlisted company ,then you might want not to sell below rm 3.50, as the buyer is ready with a list of complicated formula to suppress your price. They could have bought over your badly run competitor at rm 1.20, so they say this is the market price for you.

The other thing is the earning power of the co such EPS and PE. A losing co with good NTA may start to erode the assets, sometimes the loss would wipe out the NTA in a year. Good NTA backed with good EPS is a better choice.

There are many complicated ways to value a company too. SOP for example. RNav is another. DCF. bla bla bla

But I like to keep It AS Simple as possible. Cashflow is important too, and many investors could have left out on this part.

Regards.

Well, if you have a trading module with some brokers, their systems are linked to EquitiesTracker.com where you can access these info for free, by clicking one of the buttons. For Jupiter , it is the " Fundamental " button, then look for " Industry " .

Beside sectors, you would get some comparisons of PE and so on.
