if you're long term investor.., you will not go wrong purchasing this stock..

intermediate target from CIMB - 8.16

I'm also planning to enter a few unit, for longterm.

maybank have been good in the past for it's dividend.. on par with Digi's..

maybe this year not a maybank year's judged from all the bad news..

but next year.. it will bounce back..

laugh all you can.. ..

but... people tend to forget....! when market recover.. when maybank report their Q4 earning.., price will move again..!

then.. when institutional fund comes back.., they will 1st look through stocks that historically performs well.! and maybank is one of them.!

history never lie..! strategist and investor also based on historical statistic to make their investment decision..

when time come.. we can re-visit this thread back..

well said darkknight..

agree that we should look into future plan also..


This Wahid always carry good track record to wherever he go. Good reputation, good for maybank. Whatever he do know, maybe he try to do firefighting (i.e to minimize losses for a decision that was made before he's on board)..

And from news so far, it is clear that Temasek is pushing maybank to get this deal go through..., and i'm quite surprised that maybank choose to accept the rebate offered.. !

If I were them - I would choose to loose out the 400++mill deposit put rather than lost the other 90% more (total 4.6billion) on this deal...

let's just hope.. maybank can quickly capitalize this purchase and go on re-branding exercise soon after dust settled.

mind you - with BII wide network of branches across vast Indonesia.. and with millions of legal + illegal indon here in our shores.., maybank might just creating a great expansion plan here..

even here in malaysia - you can't deny that maybank provide the best Internet banking experience so far.

hate it all you want.., me too (for the matter of fact).. I do chaste them for all kind of charges they put on us in doing our transaction online or over the counter.. , but they got the upper hand - the service efficiency and the most list of online payee for paying your bill.

imagine maybank expanding this online service to across indonesia..

lowest today - 5.90..

and more to come..! looking at current bloodbath in the market!

red through out the globe!

with Indonesia hit circuitt breaker..! when will come our time?

we don't know..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

but today - news come -out, maybank buy another stake in BII.. making them holding total 70++ % of BII stocks.

is this good move or bad moves?

what's your take on this?

yeah.. warrants is cheaper!

let's skin the fat cat..!

will maybank break the RM5 level?
