I have a feeling that the younger generation is more health concious. I would expect the number of smokers over time either due to health concious or expensive cigarettes.

i agree, eh r u eyeing some oilcorp share ?

haa pre market calculation for oilcorp why 0.2+ for buy price? wow

Same one lah,

You buy 1 lots (x100) BAT share at 44.00 = RM4k, commission Rm28
You buy 100 lots ABC penny stock of 0.40 = RM4k, commission Rm28.

Some may argue from 0.40 to 0.50 is easy but for a stock to climb from 44.00 to 50.00 is equivalent easy as well.

In fact, for 44.00 to climb to 50.00 it can be easier than 0.40 to 0.50 because high price stocks, there are not many retailers around which potential being seller to resist for the upside.
But for 0.40 to surge, you need massive volume of buyers because there are plenty of sellers waiting on upside. How often to see selller Q in those penny stock with 10K,20k,30 lots but for a stock of 44.00, you most probably see a few ten lots up to 50 to 100 lots only on the seller side.

It is basically not much difference actually, just people mindset tend to think it is "cheap".

Just like people say Resort is cheap now with 2.10, but if without split, it is 10.50, then people won't say it is cheap anymore but actual fact both are same.

if 0.2 .. grab some to bet not bad rite .. else got news they really cannot sustain need to close

yeah....tat's my point!!!! aiseh....they always look at the share price to determine whether it's cheap or xpensive.....

Added on December 10, 2008, 2:34 pmhahaha....first of all....BAT due to high div yield.....
number of smokers....well...i dun think it is dropping drastically...i'm part of the 'new generation' wat....my frens still smokes....esp those in construction line, sales etc....it's a 'pre-requisite'
additionally.....now ppl more tensed....they could potentially smoke n drink more too....

anyway....all r just assumptions la...hehehee...but looking at current scenario...i think BAT is a safe bet for Div purpose....just my 2cents

Every listed company cannot report later than 3 months after the Quarterly financial calendar.

Popular doesn't mean will earn money, in fact most of the time popular stock (the top volume) is the one most people losing money one.
No offence.

yeah agree .. popular doesn't mean can earn money ma hehe
btw wat if they dont produce report after 3mths

will be fined and reprimanded.. then may be classified as PN17 and risk of getting delisted..

MAXIS used to be a good stock. what happen then ?

your remisier would be more than happy if you carry out such trade always.

privatise. dun wan to play wif u all

is that the only reason ?
i was wondering .....

should be two months,Cherrroy.

Mistaken it. Thanks for the correction.

THPLANT is proposing 1-for-1 bonus issues.

current price at 2.20, which is around the IPO price.

is it worth buying?

I thought you are the expert in plantation stocks.

Whenever we discuss the stocks in terms of PE, EPS or anything like that, someone would hit back.

To me, sometimes I could hear people in the coffee shops in Malaysia , telling Mr. Obama want to to.

Saying but not doing is a much easy job to do.

Just my 2sen.

A privatised company means that they have accessed to use the company cash for their whatever reason, as it is you own company, you can do whatever you want. But for a public listed, no, you can't, as there are other shareholders benefit that need to look for, and more regulated.

IPO price means nothing actually.

My personal opinion, plantation stocks normally go up and down together due to the movement of CPO, so for me I would go for those old and established name that has showed good company management and showing good track of record one while big cap enough that fund managers need to put down the name into their list.

Don't mean this stock no good, just some personal opinion.
