At 0.5 is still a manageable ratio.

It could be a undervalued stock, if earning wise still showing a positive sign.

Its business is largely affected by oil price/natural gas, as those are the main raw ingredient in making their product (polymer, polymer resin)

Yes, we need to always adjust the trend as like we all need to go for lunch, but some ppl may go at 12pm, 1pm or 2pm, but the trend is still there. it is up to individual to go out at 1pm and come back at 2pm or go at 12pm and come back at 1pm only. some ppl tend to go out early with hope get the delicious food, but he/she may go back the same restaurant at 3pm because is hungry (eat too early), but the food is not that nice already.

Some stock is under value and it is good time to enter because the boss also want to sapu back their share, if not they also afraid of some one may hold there share and who know one day may influent the company decision making. Anything is possible in this world. Choice ur restaurant wisely.

Remember: there is no a specific time table for a investor/employer/boss to go out for their lunch. if you are worker/emplyee minded, go to use ur punch card for the lunch time.

I've done a bit of research and will probably go for these "restaurants" for the short term - LCL, KNM and maybe AIRPORT, mainly due to their potential for hugh capital gains. GAMUDA is another counter on my list due to their predicted high dividends for FY09 & FY10. Just that their shares prices have increased quite a bit.

Haven't decided on defensive stocks yet.... still have time for that.... Looking at Carlsberg, asiafile and PBBANK for their predicted high dividend FY09 & FY10. I'm holding some RESORTS share too, mainly for their potential capital gains too.....

@sampoo, so what restaurant are you going to? And what time is your lunch?

Fed has meeting next week

Next week Fed will decide whether to CUT interest rate by 0.5%.

What is the curent interest now? I'm referring to US; not Malaysia.

Hey buddy, my forecasts change daily base on price actions. You can ask guys that talk to me everyday and how i made them money on a daily basis. Sometimes we lose money, sometimes we win money; but my accuracy is much better than some of the traders here by far.

When i told the forum to sell at these period; it still holds true. IF you are a short term trader, you sell on rallies, buy on dips. If you want to be a long term trader, then one should long financials, long commodities, long carry trades. Why? You yourself will know why.

You don't have to listen, i am just talking ass but my close friends will vouch for my record in FX which is the most complicated financial instrument there is today.

I have no doubt about your abilities and have no doubt that you are helping the forumers here as much as you can. However, you don't have to "carry your nose so high" (to put it mildly) as I'm sure many forumers here have noticed. Any advise is most welcomed and it would be very helpful if you're a bit more specific with your advices as stock-trading-noobs (like me ) would benefit more. For example, long financials/commodities is a very broad advice.....

2 let u know that, i usually go out for lunch alone (so hardly ppl know where i go, but i paln 1 hour b4 the lunch). In reality, the ppl who buy stock should not hv much influent by anyone/media, they need to do self study. Always remember, trade at ur own risk!

i go for lunch no need to punch card one.

Owh... just noticed your sig.... then you better give some advice too! We wanna make some money....

No no, my question was referring to stocks trading....rephrase my question.... which stocks are you aiming for and when are you going in?

For me, I'm buying as much as I can for now, hoping to catch the bull on KLSE year-end & around CNY....

Punch card? Half the time I forget to punch my card.....

actually, i already anwser ur question lioa.

to ur self study. For example, the BEST performance stock in Bursa and consider no. 1 stock is VADS BERHAD, then u should study the comany and the business model, and apply the same rule to any company u buy in the future and not just listen to the media.

I'm too noob to study a company and it's business model as I'm not in the financial field.... I'm sure there are a lot of forumers here who are noobs too....

I actually depend a lot on news/blog/reports/review of a company/counter..... Trying to gather as much info as I can to make an educated decision......

Since starting trading last month, I frequently buy "The Edge Malaysia" magazine, watch CNN, bloomberg, CNBC and bookmark any and every important website I could find..... even with all these, it is still difficult to decide which counters to go for.....

VADS BERHAD? Cool, will do some research on this counter....

calm down guys, okay I m new here, u did mention u r helping forumers by giving ur tips here, but here not all expert to be honest I noob, so make it simple n straight forward. so everybody can understand. just my 2 cents

Auto makers may hold key to Santa's rally : http://www.cnbc.com/id/28200973

VADS will be privatised at RM 7.50....

Before you invest.... decide on,

1. what sector you want to invest into?

2. Then compare the P/E, DE, DY, ASSET AND LIABILITIES between the same sector and so on.....

3. Look at the management.....


You got to decide yourself... Not by listening to any hot tips on which counter may go up...What happened if the counter go down instead which normally it does after you get the hot tips....

The edge you can read by not following the hot tips. It is for you to know what is really happening on certain company and economy conditions not to give you any hot tips....

I use to play with hot tips when i start play stock but you will be not so lucky all the times by following hot tips

too late for VADS

Errr.... again, for noobs like me, it is difficult to decide. For one, any sector is the same to me ..... I'm learning to look at the variables you mentioned e.g. P/E, DY, liabilities, etc but still need time to understand the meaning and implications of those data....

For example, AIRASIA is definitely not on my list, even though there is a chance that their price will increase. The reason is because they have a hugh debt, doesn't give dividends and had a net loss of almost half a billion last quarter. There would definitely be better counters with a similar chance of price increase WITHOUT the problems like AIRASIA....

Frankly speaking, there were a few hot tips that really did come true e.g. TMI and YTLPOWER.....

Anyway, I'm glad that the shares I picked so far did not have much paper loss, hope that their capital value will increase in Q1.....

Yeah, looking at their historical charts, the price actually went up around sept-oct '08..... same like JTINTER.... I'm also aiming for defensive stocks that hasn't increased that much, or dropped a bit during these bad times.... looks like VADS won't be in my list...
