Hi Alex,
Good to see u in Focus mag. May the year of Goat bless us all
Hi Alex,
Can you comment on Bjcorp and Ibhd
How about its debt.?
Hi Lai,
Thank you.
Hi martinkakashi
Bjcorp is in a downtrend but it is at the strong support of ~RM0.40. Similarly, Ibhd had a sharp fall and is resting on the support of RM0.60.
If market sentiment improves, these stocks should hold at their current price level. Recovery may take a while.
Hi darren cheng
Sign's leverage position is satisfactory. As at 31/12/2014, its Total Liabilities to Total Equity (RM78.5m/RM144.0m) is 0.55 time.
Gong Xi Fatt Cai, Alex.
You are right. Signature has the potential to blossom into a billion ringgit company. I love their products (good design and finishing) and prices are slightly more expensive. The brand is excellent. If I had RM300mil, I would buy over the company. What a steal at current prices.
Could you please reproduce your article in Focus Malaysia? If not, could you please inform us which date is the issue? Keep up the excellent work.
Hi ronnie
Gong Xi Fa Cai to you.
I did not write an article for Focus. They asked for my take on the impact of GST on stockbroking industry. I shared my opinion & proposed regulations with them. I have not seen the article.
