With its consistent pattern of earning grow and within a lucrative industry. Together with the increase of disposable income of female gender. We like EIG with its current pricing and it’s PE of around 10.
We continue to sell Hang Seng A Shares while it on the rises!
We sold ABC and CCB today again. We are happy to park our fund in HKD trust account. We believe USD will resume a slight uptrend when US start to raise interest rate modestly. We expect HKD will hit above HKD 0.470 above vs. RM
HEVEABOARD strong earning prompted us re-entered at RM 3.09
Exceptional strong earning of HEVEA prompted us re-entered in the stock. We believe in short term the stock will have a target close to RM 4.00.
Adjusted as the announcement came late on KLSE information source on trading halt.
1MDB issues need to be addressed swiftly to avoid more negative impacts
Looking at the current equities trend around the region. I believe KLCI started to react to 1MDB surrounding issues. We believe this will drag sometimes and we advise holding on any major investment and wait for the right opportunity.
We disposed Fortune REIT HK, CCB, ABC and Tasco
We continue selling our Hong Kong portfolio riding on strong HKD vs. RM will give us another additional 20% gain. We sold Fortune REIT since our purchase at HKD 3.70. Excluding dividend and currency gain we have a healthy 100% gain over 3 years holding time.
We also reaped partial profit from CCB and ABC. Even thought the variation of the banks are still low. We again taking advantage of strong HKD boosting all our profit by additional 20%.
We sold Tasco at RM 4.380 and bought MBSB at RM 1.90 and MNRB at RM 3.840 respectively.
Strong quarter for Paramount, Tomei and Padini but Bstead Plantation
Paramount shown a good quarter. We continue to expect it’s share price to benefits from its new campus and realise of its recent property projects.
We also like Tomei and Padini as both operate in intense competition. Especially Padini with the direct competition from H&M and Uniqlo. Tomei shown tremendous recovery from its plunge after gold prices correction from high. New businrss in Comestic is a good move to us.
Whereas Boustead Plantation disappointed us since its listing.
Is time to buy in property developer?
Entire Asia fighting rapid increase in property prices in the last few years has caused the market clam down. Indeed, plentiful of property developing related counters’ stock prices are subdued. From locally Malaysia to even China, prices of property developer PE dropped to as low as 5 to 8 times.
I personally feel this is a good sign as developers in history mostly could not read the market well. They keep building as long as in business angle they can make money but forget the overall supply and demand rule. We may have a few outstanding companies can withstand in any situations. Governmental measures are recommended to control the overall platform of the industry.
We believe there are values in the market. We will start looking around for quality companies as an early entrance back to this segment. Interest rates increase worldwide is already priced in in short term. Asset related investment will still a good choice for wealthy investor to leverage their portfolio.
MBSB and MNRB depressed but it is an opportunity now
MBSB poor quarter and MNRB reserve to payout for flood in Kelantan in Q1 2015 emerged as excellent opportunity to accumulate the counter. I hope I can have more good sense to buy more before the price regularise back to it industrial normal PE level.
Cash is king when world interest at low for long?
With World banks maintain interest rates at ultra low for long period to come. Is cash still king even inflation at modest rate? The current environment promote equities but we believe eventually benefits to asset oriented investment for years to come. No matter there is a crisis or no crisis. Cash is no long valid and in fact depends on which country are you living in. We believe quality growth stocks, REITs, properties, commodities and may be even a valuable collections are much better than cash. The longer interest stay low, more ratio of our investment will switch from equities to others portfolio to reduce risk.
MBSB poor quarter but is still cheal
MBSB announced its poor quarterly result due to impairment of new rules. But to us it is still a very attractive counter. With the current market price of RM 1.90 level. It is still only a mere 9 to 10 times PE. We will accumulate on dip.
