Ehh, how come the online trading is active now (both Maybank and HLB)?

Is certain counters allowed to trade on weekends? 

Got a questions to those who are accomplished traders.

Is it wise or better to declare your trading profits as personal income or register a business and file it as company tax?

With personal tax, cannot get much deductions and need to pay more tax. Where as for business, can whack a lot of things in expenses to reduce tax 

Can we register our company as share trading and others? 

What does it mean by options expiration ?

Any potential listed developer haven't done that? How about See Hoy Chan? HAve they revalued their 1U new wing and Menara IBM??

For the financial year ended Jan 31 (FY08), Hap Seng saw its net profit balloon by 602% to RM846.9mil and revenue expand 515% to RM2.24bil compared with FY07.

The company said the results included a gain of RM601.6mil resulting from the listing of its plantation business, Hap Seng Plantations Holdings Bhd last November.

Huh?? How can proceeds from the listing of a unit or subsidiary considered revenue?

agrees that most plantation are over-priced,

there will be a correction in between,
however, it wouldn't go down one line straight, they will always be a rebounding somewhere in between

like cantdecide said, timing is very important.

the news is real, but the 56 sens diviend is a misunderstand. lol

come to think of it, i havent see such great DY% before, >20%

Ya, it won't go down in 1 straight line.  Otherwise we might see another 'circuit breaker'.  Perhaps it is a good idea for Bursa to test out the fixes that they have put in.       

With all the hustle and bustle of CPO - especially by Malaysia government and companies - I don't think the price will go down.  Our fund managers love plantation counters very much.  They seem to always gasak all plantation counters that is available in the market.
Oh, no wonder almost all plantation counters went south.  Rupa-rupa CPO fall like a stone.  Hope it will fall further to 'correct' the price of all plantation counters.  Like to add IOICORP into my portfolio for its good management.       

Then we will have happy shopping on that day      

thanks for clarifying. the 56.5 sens myth is solved.

i do hope HAPSENG will come up with another "41 sen per share less tax and a tax exempt dividend of five sen paid" in Dec 2008

For the ones still unsure if Hap Seng is giving 56.5 cents or not. Here is an excerpt from the edge, which I find has the most accurate article regarding Hap Seng's recent announcements.

"It proposed a final dividend of seven sen per share less tax. This, in addition to the interim dividend of 3.5 sen per share less tax paid on Oct 26, 2007, a special interim dividend of 41 sen per share less tax and a tax exempt dividend of five sen paid on Dec 14, 2007, will bring the total dividend for the year to 56.5 sen per share. "

Business Times and The Star business news is misleading.

No offence taken. I do agree that the news is "technically" correct but it's "ethically" wrong, therefore I feel it is misleading to a reader.

Kind of like telling your children there are gonna get as much as 1000 bucks as allowances in December making them happy, but actually not mentioning it takes into account the 950 bucks already given since January. So the December allowance is only 50 bucks. That was how Business Times was telling it.

It's true, that a trained eye can read between the lines and ignore all the fanfare for the cold facts, but most people will get distracted with the big numbers like "602% increase in NET profits" or "Net profit balloons" or "EPS increase by 500%".

I've learned to treat company announcements with greater skepticism and cynicism to really question their motives behind their announcements and also their agenda. As a small fry in a world of sharks, best is to keep checking your food is not bait rather then eating up every worm in the ocean.

I gathered from some reading that the exercise is subjected to this conversion ratio correct? It's not actually a conversion ratio to the mother share but a conversion ration to be used in my exercise of the warrant in the formula as this:

Profit/loss = Number of warrants x (closing price - exercise price) X conversion ratio (in this case 0.1)

Plus after that you need to factor in the warrant price (premium price) and exercise expenses?

Is this all correct? Anyone?

Meaning if Sime closed at 12.10 at 16/7/2008 and the sime-cb exercise price is 12.00, based on the contract, the calculation is like this: ((if i bought 10000 shares or 100 lots)

Profit/loss = 10000 x (12.10 - 12.00) x 0.1 = RM 100

So, if my cost for the 10000 sime-cb share was 0.01 x 10000 = RM 100

I would have made nothing and still had to fork out abit for the expense cost???
not a good investment at all warrants are they?

OK, thanks for the info.

BTW, does anyone know why QCAPITA (Quill Capital) drop RM0.28 today?  Is it dividend distribution or something else?  Any info would be helpful as REIT is in my list.
