reason to choice:
1.Giant in Malaysia (See comments below)
2.maybank2u is convenient to use (lol, does Maybank earns from M2u?)
3.goverment link (Govern not stable la)
Giant in Malaysia, but a small ant in South East Asia.

Singapore bank can easily eat Maybank.

How can singapore easily eat maybank??? It is 60% more own by PNB, AMAHAH RAYA and EPF. With freefloat about 30 over percent. The recent aquisition of BII will enhance EPS of maybank about 10 sen. Aquisition of MCB (pakistan) will enhance EPS for another 5 sen. So it is a short term pain (low dividend yield) long term gain (increase of EPS).

Don you know now Amanah raya and EPF are starting to accumulate maybank ranging from RM 8.00 to RM 7.00. i strongly think the support IS AT RM 7.00


SO IT IS TIME TO BUY NOW

Maybank weighs, KLCI eyes 1,000
By JOSEPH CHIN


KUALA LUMPUR:Maybank fell as much as 4.73% in early trade on Wednesday, weighing down the market while the KL Composite Index approached the 1,000-level as investors were still concerned about its acquisition of Bank Internasional Indonesia (BII).

At 9.30am, the KL Composite Index was down 8.70 points to 1,003.67. Turnover was 50.39 million shares valued at RM89mil. There were 60 gainers, 121 losers and 67 counters unchanged.

Light crude oil rebounded, rising US$2.66 to US$93.80 per barrel.

Asian markets fared better after a firmer close on Wall Street on some hope for a lifeline for AIG. South Korea’s Kospi jumped 48.1 points or 3.47% to 1,435.85, Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose 255.85 points or 2.2% to 11,865.57, Singapore’s Straits Times Index added 1.17% to 2,490.23 but Shanghai’s A Share Index eased 0.5% to 2,075.25.

On the market outlook, HwangDBS Vickers Research said Asian markets should show some relief rebound following the overnight rise on Wall Street.

“This comes even though the U.S. Federal Open Market Committee decided to leave the benchmark federal funds rate unchanged at its scheduled meeting last night.

“Nonetheless, investors will likely remain cautious ahead, watching out for the possibility of more victims in the ongoing financial crisis following the Lehman Brothers collapse,” it said.

While the research house was expecting some improvement in market sentiment at Bursa Malaysia, it said the immediate upside potential for the KLCI was expected to be capped at a technical resistance level of 1,020 due to the light buying interest.

On Tuesday, Maybank’s hopes to acquire BII were revived after Indonesia’s financial regulator Bapepam said it might extend the timeframe for Maybank to sell down its BII stake after a proposed acquisition.

Malaysia’s largest bank by assets also said Bank Negara had reinstated its approval for the acquisition following the latest development.

A local research house said while it was pleased that the deal would go ahead, the flip-flops in the past two months underscore the high policy risks of operating in Indonesia.

Furthermore, the potential BII loss might be an earnings overhang in the next few years, it added.

Maybank fell as much as 35 sen to RM7.05. It saw 1.36 million shares transacted.

Batu Kawan and KLK fell 30 sen each to RM6.80 and RM9.60 while IOI Corp lost 12 sen to RM3.92 and Kulim 10 sen lower to RM5.20 and Kulim-WB 12 sen to RM3.

BCHB eased 20 sen to RM7.65 and Genting slipped 14 sen to RM4.78 and Tenaga 10 sen to RM6.40.

However, Tong Herr added 52 sen to RM2.80 while Parkson added 10 sen to RM4.18 and AFG six sen to RM2.70 while Public Bank rose five sen to RM9.85.

Taking into consideration of current political uncertainties, this counter still have way to go down...

I suspect this acquisition have got to do with Amirsham resignation. He is going to resign and he need cash for his retirement life... Know what i mean right ?

First you must know your goal to buy this stock. Is it for long term holding ( 3 - 5 years or even more) or short tem trading. What is your target price to sell? What is the price you feel comfortable to buy?

There are not much stock which can hold for long term in our KLSE. My view is stock at currently level are still expensive. If you really want to hold a good business which is selling at a discount . I can say it is still not the time yet. For me, YTL power are still ok as from my other topic as i think windfall tax will have a harder and more direct impact on YTL power compare to current financial credit crisis from US. That y i dare to buy last few months. Recently just recived the bonus share from ytl power


Besides, you can consider JTINTER , if you are a dividend stock player. Currently it was steady at RM 4.30

Jtinter is not a growth stock. It is an income stock which generously giving out dividend. Which means the earnings they pay back to the share holder. Where as growth stock they will reinvest the earnings for the futures growth/expansion. I also din smoke but we cannot stop ppl from smoking EITHER... you don buy JTinter does not mean that ppl will stop smoking either.

You invest by buying good business on a price that suit your own appetite. If the price does not meet your target you can wait and be patience. Thats what we call value investing.

i wonder how can it reached 8.16 at current market... 5 years target price ? How can you say next year it will bouce back? Any reason behind?

Last time it use to be in one of my favourite list.... After looking more thoroughly, it is not so good indeed....Yes it looks good from outside....

Like what cherroy said... shareholder benefit is one of the priority when you choosing a stock....
You must remember when you buy in maybank you are just a small ant.....If the major shareholder does not take care of your benefit... basically you cannot do anything... what you can do is sell off the stock maybe to show your distress....Don be too optimistic in stock market...Think of all the bad side of the stock before taking care of the good one.....Basically is the person who is too optimistic will end up loosing all their money in stock market.... Once they realise it will be too late already...

Mind you ppl who invest are looking for that company futures... not the past... the past already past ok...

IF we can buy stock base on past performance it is damn easy everybody can get rich already.... Thats y in stock market there are ppl who always loosing money as they have this type of mindset....

Short term yes

At current price maybe can buy in some for short term trading..

Just my two cents.

This tiger seems being beaten until cannot stand up at the moment ...

This tiger diarhea until no strength already

Price below RM 4.00 can be considered already i think Should give you some margin of safety

Same like you buy things at market... You mind ppl selling things to you cheap? Now market conditions is bad.... is time to hunt for good bargain...

Bought this counter last year at around 7.20 but luckily manage to sell at 8.00

The concern for this counter is they might want to raise fund and it may dilute the EPS AND DPS

Me too. Hiak hiak hiak
