Bank of America (BAC)


Above are some data retrieved from annual report BAC, all the figure are in million except percentage.
As we can see the no. of  outstanding shares grow from initial 3.3 billion (year 2000) to 7.6 billion (year 2009), which is more than 2 times.
As at record on the last quarter report, BAC number of outstanding shares stand at around slightly more 10 billion, this is more than 3 times of number of shares in year 2000.

Non-performing Assets still record at high level, latest quarter report shows Non-performing assets still registered at 3.74%.

Lets us do some assumption,
Assume earning is back to normal, lets say 16 million and assume number of outstanding share maintain at 10 billion, so we will get EPS USD 1.60

Assume US economy back to normal, then taking PE 15, which will give you target price USD 24

Current BAC share price is USD 13, so its share price still have 85% room to grow.

The point now is how long does it take for US economy back to normal? 3 years or 5 years?
85% in 5 years will give you annual compound rate 13%, or 22% in 3 years.

It should be a safe bet, as US economy sure will definitely go back to normal or even better. And do not forget stock performance normally will ahead half year to one year in front of economy performance.

Look at their quarterly result.
Erm.. No comment.

Padini Holdings Bhd 7052


Padini is success with the brand Vincci, Vincci+, Vincci Accessories, Padini Authentics, PDI, Padini, Seed, Miki, and P&Co.

I think most of you are familiar with those brands especially girls~ :p
There is one thing I cannot understand, why girls need so much clothes and shoes.. -_-"

Based on year 2010 annual report, its domestic operation accounted for 91.3% of the group's consolidated revenues. But domestic operation contributed 89.0% at year 2009. There is a slight decrease on the oversea market shares.

Padini is a cash rich company, no major capex need to expand, the capex normally go for shop lot renovation only~

Profit margin is around 50% (this figure is improving since year 1999, from around 38% to 50% now)
Selling and distribution costs is around 24% to 28%
Administrative expenses is around 8.6% (this category is also improving from around 10% to 8.6% now)

The management is doing a good job until now, its finance is healthy also. At the moment, Padini is holding cash around 135 million with around 36 million in debt.
However the growth of revenue of Padini is much more depending on the growth of number of shop lot or merchants.

Three major shareholders are holding around 74.4% shares, this inclusive Icapital, one of the major shareholder which hold around 3.45%.

Current share price RM 5.40, latest 4 quarters EPS stood at 44.79 cents, which gives PE around 12.

Pantech Group Holding Bhd (Pantech) principally supplies steel pipes, fittings and flow control products (PFF) to a broad range of industries - major in oil & gas sector.

Pantech can be regarded as a major player in the PFF industry which has only 14 direct competitors in the country. Pantech claims to have captured some 40% of the market and is the only listed player in the industry.

Stemlife 0137 - Do you store your kid's cord blood already?


StemLife is a fully licensed cord blood and peripheral blood stem cell banking facility, under the PHFS Act 1998, Ministry of Health Malaysia.


At the moment, there are more than 32,000 clients have already stored their stem cells with StemLife.

What is the potential of this industry? Are this industry making money?

Lets see the growth of StemLife over these few years

Year - clients
2002 -      600
2003 -   1,100
2004 -   2,000
2005 -   5,000
2006 - 11,000
2007 - 18,000
2008 - 25,000
2009 - 32,000

Every year the clients base is growing, but however the rate seems slowing down after year 2007. From year 2007 to year 2008 and to year 2009, it only grow 7,000 clients constantly. It is not a healthy sign~

Base on the annual report 2010, the growth rate slow down is due to the war price fighting among the stem cell banking.

Currently market has around 3 to 4 stem cell banking offer the storage of stem cell. The price is around RM 4,000 plus.

Stem cell banking seems like a new business recently, but people are lacking of awareness of it. I believe this sector still need to take some time or promoting to boost up the sales.

Buying high, Selling low!


Every person know that for if you want to earn money in the share market, you must buy low and sell high.

Can we make money if we buy high sell low??

The answer is YES, you might surprise how does it work??

Actually there are some companies out there doing so, those companies buy back company's shares from the market at higher price but they sell the shares to the company executives by lower price by offering ESOS (Employees’ Share Option Scheme).

This is what I mean by buying high, selling low!! This is the way they are earning money.

This type of companies definately will not help any shareholders to create value, what is in their mind is how to create a way to steal the money from shareholder's fund.

This is some sort of legally stealing, use shareholder's money to full their own pocket.

What is the best indicator to show the company is worth buying?


There are many indicators to show if a company is worth buying in the market.
Fundamental people may use ROE, PE, earning growth, NTA and so on.
Technical analysis people may use candle chart, volume, theme and others.

I was used to ROE, PE before. But now I will include another indicator that is insider movement, which is share buy back by its own company or director buy the shares themselves.

Normally, company execute share buy back is to support company share price and no much emotion inside. But if the directors start to buy up the company shares, then it shows he/she is very confidence in this company future and he is ready to growth with this company. Human is born to be greedy. He/she knows something is worth in the company and he/she wants more from the company so he/she buy the company shares.

How well KNM finance statement is?? beware..


KNM recently is back to hot topic now and speculators are playing with this counter. But beware..

Based on quarter result 30 Sept 2010. (all figure are in million)

Contracts work in progress   RM 456.8
Trade and other receivables  RM 381.5
Cash and equivalents            RM 296.3 (this include advance payment from customer RM 122.6)

Long term borrowings          RM 490.0
Short term borrowings         RM 575.6
Payables and accruals          RM 349.5

Balance                            - RM 280.5  <--- see the sign there.. It is negative RM 280.5 million

How KNM is going to do with this? and how KNM is going to pay its debt??

There is one more thing need to be highlighted, which is KNM's intangible assets and goodwill, both represent RM 645.8 million and RM 820.4 million.. These two figures actually is worth nothing and can be write off anytime for now. If I assume to write off those both figures, then its shareholder's equity only worth RM 296.3 million.

Current outstanding shares is around 1 billion, if shareholder's equity divide with outstanding shares, then it only worth RM 0.293, but you are paying RM 2.67 for it. It is about 9 times of it. It is same like buying a Kancil with BMW price.

Maybe I am wrong here, and maybe there is somemore "insider" news out there, I am not sure, but please play smart with your hard earn money.

Alam Maritim Chairman acquired 100,000 shares.

DATO' CAPT AHMAD SUFIAN BIN QURNAIN @ABDUL RASHID acquired Alam Maritim 100,000 shares at 10 Dec 2010.

Why he bought it? He has too much cash and do not know where to spend?
No no! He knows somwthing is worth by putting his money in this company. Nobody know how the company is running other than chairman.

Kencanan petroleum Bhd financial health check


Based on quarter result 31 Oct 2010,

Receivables registered at                       RM 265 million
Cash and equivalent registered at           RM 225 million
Long term borrowing registered at         RM   41 million
Short term borrowing registered at         RM 287 million
Payable and accruals registered at        RM 438 million

What do you see from here?
Receivables and total cash is just slightly enough to cover payable and accruals and with a extra cash flow RM 52 million.

Is this RM 52 million enough to pay the short term borrowing RM 287 million? It seems like Kencana is facing some cash flow problem temporary, but however management is preparing to convert this short term borrowing to long term borrowing. If they manage to do so, then Kencana will be safe.

Always be careful of its cash flow and market environment. Either one will destroy its financial statement. If everything goes fine, then it is a goose that lays golden egg with high petroleum price and incoming projects.

XiDeLang Holdings 5156


Xi De Lang is proposed a private placement recently to raise fund RM 20 million by issuing another 40 million new shares. Currently, it has 400 million shares, after the private placement, the total number of shares to be 440 million.

Based on the last quarter, 30 Sept 2010. It registered a net profit RMB 47 million, which roughly equal to RM 22 million. If we divide RM 22 million to 440 million shares, it gives EPS 5 cents. Assuming next 4 quarters deliver with the same result, then we can expect the whole year to get EPS 20 cents.

Current stock price is trading at 47 cents, which equal to PE 2.35

I have checked through its last few quarters result. Gross profit margin is increasing from around 30.5% to 34.0%. However selling and distribution expenses is also increasing from 2.0% to 8.0%, this is due to company advertisement strategy. I think the advertisement strategy is working as you can see from the increasing gross profit margin.

Administrative expenses stands around 2.1% and finance costs is below 1.0%. Both are showing healthy at the moment.

Recent private placement might due to tight cash flow as XDL is constructing the new plant and need to use a lot of cash and at the mean time need to expand its business.

Freight Management



I did mention Freight Management before at my previous blog: http://hongwei85.blogspot.com/search/label/Freight

Now I will go more details for it.
Revenue was improving from time to time from RM 83 million (year 2005) to RM 229 million (2009)
Gross profit was improving from 17.9% (year 2005) to 24.1% (year 2009)
Administrative expenses is about 15% if compare with revenue
Financial cost is very low, which is less than 1% compare with revenue
Net profit margin is improving from 4.3% (year 2005) to 6.6% (year 2009) ~ a bit low

Trade receivables turnover rate is highest among all the logistic player, this mean that Freight Management operates on a cash basic, receive cash other than give extension of credit.

Beside that, receivable period and payable period are getting less, this also shows that management is doing the business with cash basic, they receive cash from client and then pay faster to their contractors.

I think this is the reason why their net profit margin can stand so low but yet is still surviving and improving.

Century Logistics Holdings Bhd. 7117


Just same as other logistic provider, Century Logistics Holding Bhd. (Century) is providing logistics services such as freight forwarding, transportation, distribution and warehousing. Other than that, it also provides some value-added services such as sorting and packaging, bar coding, labeling, assembling and the distribution of goods.

Revenue of Century showed improving from RM 96 million (year 2004) to RM 211 million (year 2009). Gross profit margin stood around 31% and above.

Administrative expenses was showing some reducing in cost from 22.8% (year 2004) to 13.9% (year 2009).
Finance cost was showing in a manageable level at around 2%.
Net profit margin is improving from 2.1% (year 2004) to 9.9% (year 2009).

Other part on the balance sheet seems healthy and nothing no worry about it.

Not a bad company. :p

Konsortium Logistik Bhd. 6157


Konsortium Logistik Berhad (Konsort) is now principally an asset light logistics service provider.

Initially, Konsortium Logistik Berhad gross profit margin do impress me with around 28% to 33%. However its administrative expenses eat out almost all the profit margin around 15% to 17%. Both figures are the highest among all the Logistic players in this region. But at the end, it only manage to register net profit around 8% to 9%.

From its annual report 2009, there are several statement attract my interest and I really cannot figure what is happening on this company.

Firstly, Management execute a share buy back exercise, this should be a good news but however they resold back some shares after they bought in. What is the reason of doing this? Buy low sell high?? NO!! They are buy high sell low. This I cannot accept.

Secondly, As stated in the annual report, trade receivables and trade payables duration is 30days, so thats mean there are at least 12 times turnover can make it during one financial year. BUT!! The revenue show us some weird number with only around 2  to 3 times turnover. Where is the other revenue go?

Thirdly, Konsort has a high debt on its financial statement, which around RM 100 million, but they do not use the cash to settle the debt yet still use the cash to exercute share buy back?? Every year, the debt interest took out 2% to 3% of the profit margin.

The fourth, Allowance of doubtful debts is around 10% of the trade receivable. Do they understand their client well?? How come the allowance is so high?? I think there are something I do not know there.

Lastly, Management buy in some quoted shares, BUT the quoted shares register a loss of RM 158.9 million from a cost of RM 717.9 million, which losses around 22%. It is normal to make some paper loss in the investment but why management still buy in the quoted shares every year and do not fully ultilise the money to expand the business or settle the debt?? For your information, revenue of the company stay constant 5 years already.

There are too many things I cannot understand from konsort.

How much RCECAP worth if it ceases operation??


Hey guy, Lets us do some calculation on RCECAP. See how much it worth if it is ceased operation, since now the rumours are spreading around.

The following figures derived from their 2010 annual report. All are stated in RM.

Non-current Loan receivables: 992,527,064
Current Loan receivables:        146,080,924
Trade receivables:                     30,387,175
Deposits in bank:                     270,935,391
Cash in hand:                             18,775,540
Total assets:                          1,458.706,094

Non-current borrowings:          705,252,716
Current borrowings:                 314,606,265
Current payables:                       71,004,385
Total liabilities:                       1,090,863,366

Outstanding shares:                   782,395,366

If we use total assets minus liabilities, then we get RM 367,395,174
If we divide it with outstanding shares, then we get RM 0.47 per share

Do not forget, above figure are extract from "money figure" only, I am not yet include plant, equipment, investment properties, other receivables. And also above figure are excluding the interest earn and loss from loan receivables and borrowing respectively. Other than that, this figure is based on annual report 2010. So RCECAP should definitely worth more than RM 0.47 if it ceases its operation.

Based on annual report 2010, page 92, if RCECAP manage to collect back all the loan plus interest income, then the figure should be RM 2,311 million, not as the figure stated above loan receivable RM 992 million.

It is interesting to see some of the stock analyst in the market to downgrade its value from RM 1.10 to RM 0.45 just because just some trouble happen on RCECAP. They always upgrade their target price if the market is good, and downgrade when the market is bad. If you are smart enough, look at the rich people around us, did they sell their business, their investment with cheap price when market is bad?? NO! none of them!!

Do not believe all the analyst words, their job is to write news, their job is to help them earn money, their job is NOT helping you earn money!!

Harbour-Link Group Bhd. 2062


Harbour-Link Group Bhd. (Harbour) is also one of the logistic provider company in the region as well as a reputed Engineering, Procurement and Construction entity. Its turnover around 65% to 75% are generated from logistic sector.

Gross profit margin is improving from 8.2% (year 2006) to 16.1% (year 2009). Adminstrative and other expenses stand around 5.0% to 6.5%. Financial cost around 1.3% to 1.7% (still healthy).

Net profit margin is increasing from 1.8% (year 2006) to 7.6% (year 2009).

It has a healthy balance sheet and earning is improving.
Current share price RM 1.00
Latest EPS 2.67 cent, latest 4 quarters 9.07 cents.
Which gives PE 9.37 and PE 11 respectively.

I think this should be a fair price for it.

Why JCY is deep shit?



What can the financial statement tell us about JCY this business?

If you look back to JCY's past financial statement history, you will notice JCY net profit margin is around 10% to 11%. This tell us he is at a very competitive industry environment.

However out of the 10% to 11% net profit margin, JCY need use back its profit to upgrade back its property, plant and equipment. This is not happen in just one year, it happens on every year, almost every quarters. So you will see JCY is growing at the past but however it doesn't generate any cash from the business, what JCY grow is the plant and equipment. It uses most of the shareholder's money to pump in back to upgrade its plant and equipment, in order to keep this company alive.

This type of company definitely cannot help shareholder generate any wealth. Worse, when technology is suddenly changing, then it might face serious problem because all its existing equipment cannot be used anymore and it needs to use money to upgrade its equipment again. And this is exactly what is happening now.

Now the world technology is changing from previous hard disk technology to mobile tablet devices such as ipad, samsung galaxy tab and others. So you can see its financial statement is facing a big trouble now. Company earn no profit but still need to spend money to keep on upgrade its equipments.

Avoid this type of company unless it can show some economy of scale and no one can compete with it.

Tasco Berhad (formerly Trans-Asia Shiping Corperation Bhd.) 5140


Tasco Bhd. is principally engaged as a total logistics solutions provider while its subsidiary companies are principally involved in the business of truck rental, in-house truck repair and maintenance, insurance agency services and warehouse rental as well as provider of services related to freight forwarding. Our logistics solutions comprises six (6) core business divisions, namely:-


•Ocean Division

•Air Division

•Land Division

•International Freight Division

•Auto Logistics Division

•International Network Solutions Division

From Tasco balance sheet statement, the gross profit margin did show some improvement from year 2006 (18.0%) to year 2009 (22.9%), and with some minor debt. Net profit margin is improving from year 2006 (3.5%) to year 2009 (5.9%).

It show a healthy balance sheet at the moment, but however its revenue is not improving since year 2006 and showed a decreasing in revenue in year 2009 due to global economic slump. This might show that the management cannot cope with the economy downturn. When the economy is good, then it earns; When the economy is bad, then it will be hurt. However since it has a healthy finance, so economy downturn will not cause it troublesome.

Current share price RM 1.37
Latest quarter EPS 5.34, last 4 quarters EPS 20.55
Which equal to PE 6.41 and 6.67

Logistic Sector


When everytime we analysis a stock, we are not just analysis the company itself only, we need to analysis its competitor as well. How well the company can stand in the competitive environment, what is the profit margin of the company, how the exercutive manage the company compare with other companies and so on.

Today I will write something about logistic sector. When come to logistic sector, normally people will think of the companies like Freight Management, Century Logistic, Tasco, Konsortium, Harbour-Link and Integrated Logistic Bhd.

I will do the analysis one by one and after that compare all of them.

RCECAP is facing some difficulty

Rcecap currently is facing a some problem. One of the major borrower (KOWAJA) is ceased to borrow money from RCECAP to lend to civil servant due to new guideline set up by Cooperative Commission of Malaysia.

New guildline GP6, issued at latest November, is a set of guidelines governing co-ops’ lending activities. The guidelines also set out three types of business models practised by co-ops in providing credit facilities to members:



1) The co-operative’s credit activities are funded by internal sources and the lending operations are managed by the co-op.


2) The co-operative’s credit activities are funded by financial institutions and the lending operations are managed by the co-op.


3) The co-operative acts as an agent for banks and lending activities are managed by banks.


Under GP6, model 3 is not allowed.


If this is the reason, I do not see RCECAP will face any difficulty to comply with the new rule. However, there is a major concern over the high interest rate apply on the civil servant. But I do not think this should be a concern too, normally for civil servant to borrow high interest money is because there are lack of credit and bank is not willing to lend to them so RCECAP is the only way for them to borrow money in a legal way.

Actually by borrow money from RCE Capital is better for civil servant to borrow money from Ah Long, which might end up to loss their life in the process.

I am still holding at shares without dispose any one of the shares.

Why Kstar was facing a heavy selldown?

Why Kstar recently was facing a heavy selldown? Does it fundamental change? Or just purely speculative activity?

Humour said the heavy selldown could partly be due to the upcoming lifting of the six-month moratorium imposed on K-Star promoters and other shareholders who had emerged
Well.. It looks like people are losing their mind, the "investor" worry those shareholders who bound by the moratorium will make a heavy selldown to the share, but before the shareholders do it, the "investor" already made it (heavy selldown).

This stock is highly speculative now, and I think there are still some question behind there that we are not able to see it. I think I will avoid it, unless a clear picture is showed.

Maybe now it is a time to look into its balance sheet statement. If it shows it is over undervalue, then I might acquire some.

What is the top of KLCI index?

What is the top of KLCI index? Sincerely I do not know and nobody will know.
But what I see now is the bull run still there, and there are more hot money to flow in.

Recap back to year 1997 and year 2008, what makes the market crash? Is it Soros and US subprime mortgage crisis cause it? Theoretical yes. Actually those causes are just the starting point, the real reason is hot money flowing out. After Soros attack on Asia currency, most of the people panic and withdraw back their money back to their own country and same as US subprime mortgage crisis. They scare and their own country need money to survive, so they retreat. Once money flow out, then definitely market will come down because no more money to support the market anymore.

So what do you see on current market?
Anything mega news happening now? Do their own country need money to withdraw back?
All the answer is NO, and further more, US is printing more money now, so where the money will go? It is either property, share market or government bond.

So I am confidence KLCI can go higher from now but of course do not chase high. Buy high sell higher is not my game, this game let us give those smart person to play it.

Freight Management quarter report, 30 Sept 2010


Freight Management 30 Sept 2010 quarter report show EPS of 3.67, earning is improving and future environment also see bright. Most of the freight service company show positive result.

Finance of Freight Management remain healthy and there is some capex spending and borrow some money from bank.

If you have this stock, then you may hold it. I am still the same, do not buy on this stock unless it offers a great discount.

Current share price RM 0.95, which gives PE 6.47

Koon Yew Yin acquire 15.4 million XingQuan shares


XingQuan recently welcome a new major shareholder, Koon Yew Yin to the company. At first, I am thinking who is this guy so rich to acquire so many shares on XingQuan.

After do some research, I just realize that he is the guy who donate RM 30 million to UTAR to construct a hostel in UTAR but was rejected by some reason.

He is founder of IJM and is also offering 50 personal scholarships to needy students for who is studying in finance and accountancy in University TAR, Kampar, Perak. There are some terms and conditions highlighted in his personal scholarships and one condition is attracted my interest. Which is...

"Students who receive his financial aid do not require to pay back the money or work for him after they graduate. But he want them to promise him that they will help other poor students when they have graduated and are financially solvent."

SOURCE: http://www.malaysia-scholarship.coo.my/biasiswa/koon-yew-yin-personal-scholarship-00140
Now back to the topic, why he suddenly invest so much in XingQuan? Does he think that XingQuan is also undervalue as what i stated in my previous article? http://blackspyfund.blogspot.com/search/label/xingquan

I have go through some comment from other people, I heard that Mr. Koon is well known as Warren Buffett in Malaysia. Last three years, he had invested in SUPERMX during year 2007 when SUPERMX was stayed as rock at that time, but now SUPERMX is flying high. Will it go to the same to XingQuan now and later?

I am not as smart as Mr. Koon, but from the way he do the donation and scholarship, I think we should trust his personality. XingQuan definitely is a gem, if you do not trust me but at least you should trust Mr. Koon.

New House Loan Scheme from Government


I really cannot understand why those politician want to keep on discussing about the house loan issue and want to increase the house loan to RM 300,000 or RM 350,000 with 100% loan for the income group below RM 3,000. (current proposal is RM 220,000 house loan with 100% loan)

Are they aware of the burden and the problem of this?
By borrowing house loan RM 220,000 with interest 5% and loan tenure 30 years. Those borrowers need to pay monthly payment RM 1,181, which is 40% of their salary already.

What if they increase the houseloan to RM 300,000 or RM 350,000? The borrowers need to pay RM 1,610 (54% of the income) and RM 1,879 (63% of the income) respectively!!

Do you think in this income group people manage to pay the loan? What if BLR suddenly raise up?
They are going to end up to bankrupt! This is not a help, this only will create social issue and finance issue.
If the worst come, then it will end up like what happend in US subprime mortgage crisis!!

We need a better solution and a better representive in our parlimen~

CEPATWAWASAN GROUP BHD 8982


Yesterday do a quick review on this plantation stock. Cepat currently is holding 10,302 hectar of plantation land in Sandakan, Sabah.

Current share price is RM 1.35, outstanding shares are 215 million. Which equal to RM 290 million market capital.

If we use RM 290 million divide with 10,302 hectar of lands, then we will get RM 28,150 per hectar.

I have made a research on internet, Sandakan oil palm land is worth more than RM 40,000 per hectar.

So thats mean if you buy with the current price RM 1.35, you are actually paying RM 1.00 to get RM 1.40 thing. Do not forget, above calculation is just based on its oil palm plantation land only, we are not yet include other assets yet. If we calculate all, then this stock is worth far more than this current price.

Based on its latest quarter report, it is holding RM 31 million cash & cash equivalents, which equal to 14.4 cents.

So if merely base on RM 40,000 per hectar and the cash in hand, it should worth about RM 2.06 or above.

Will Hong Leong Bank in trouble?



Below are some figures showed in Hong Leong Bank Berhad annual report 2010.
Loans, advances and financing    RM 38,555,670,000
Fixed deposit                             RM 41,089,439,000
Short term deposit                      RM 28,623,253,000
Cash on hand                             RM 15,682,086,000

What can you see from here?

Fixed deposit + Short term deposit + cash on hand = RM 88,394,778,000
If we use all the deposit + cash on hand divide with Loans, advances and financing, it gives 2.2
Which means RM 2.20 back up for every single RM 1.00 borrow out.

Is it HLBank play too safe of it? why they need so much money to back up in the bank?
This definately will erode HLBank profit margin. It will be more risky if market suddely goes wrong and some of the loans turn into bad debt, then HLBank will face a big problemm at that time.

Bought Success


Today bought Success at RM 1.17, I have noticed this stock a long time ago and I know it is fundamental wise. I buy it just because one of the fundamental Sifu is calling to buy it also, then I decided to follow it as well.It is call follow the wind~ :p

Equilibrium theory


We are born in the equilibrium world, everything at the end will come up at a balance point. When the market over-run, at the end, it will burst; When the market underperformed, then market will start to catch up; When something over supply, then the price will drop because demand is low; When supply is low but demand high, then the price will up until the supply can fulfill the demand.

When some new thing come up, there must be something to overcome it at the end. We are not need to too optimise on something and also not need to too depress on something. Human are born to adapt the life in this Earth. This theory can be apply at anywhere. No matter on market, relationship, finance, new rule and so on.

When the market bull run, always be careful about it, because it will turn down back; When the market bear run, prepare well your bullet, because the market will definitely come back in one day~

When politician announce some new policy, do not argue it if your argument cannot change the fact, what we can do is find out what can we do to suit the new policy. We are human, we have a brain, we should use it to find out is it any chance for us to get benefit from this new policy.

Warisan Tower??

Do you all remember when is the time World trade centre, New York is completed? It was at year 1973, and the market crash was started at the same year 1973.

Do you all remember when is the time Petronas Twin Tower, Kuala Lumpur is completed? It was at year 1998, and the market crash was started at year 1997.

Do you all remember when is the time Burj Dubai, Dubai is completed? It was at year 2009, and the market crash was started at year 2008.

What all these story tell?

What do you think the market at that time?

When there is a bloom in market and everybody start to spend money to build luxury building, but it always end up a sorry~

Market condition~

Today I went to public mutual branch, when the time I walked in, I was surprised by the scene there. It was full of people there, a lot of the agents were helping their client to submit their investment form. Is it a kind of sign of the market bubble now?

I still remember there is one story about the clean shoe boy said when the auntie also rush to buy share, then you have to be bewared~

But I think the time is not reach yet, because no aunties yet to tell me to buy share now... :P

What are the difference of loan interest between fixed rate and compound rate?

When bank offer you a loan by saying that the interest rate is fixed, is not compounded, should you be happy and excited?

Many of the people might think fixed rate is more benefit to us and it is not compounded, so the interest we pay should be less, but actually you are paying more with the fixed rate loan.

When bank offer you a fixed rate loan, the interest is actually charging on the lump sum of the amount. Lets say you are borrowing RM100,000 with 10% fixed rate interest, then actually you are paying total RM110,000 and divide into 12 months (RM 9,166.67 per month).

But if you are taking a compound rate with 10%. You only need to pay RM8,791.59 (total RM105,499.08), which means you are only paying 5.5% instead of 10%.

How can it be? Actually the magic behind this is, with taking the compound rate interest, the interest rate is charging on the amount that you not yet to pay, however with the fixed rate interest, they are charging you on the lump sum that you borrow. Below are 2 figures that show you how the fixed rate and compound rate work.

Figure 1: How the fixed rate works

Figure 2: how the compound rate work

So next time, when you see bank offer you any attractive rate, try to ask them, how they charge on the interest first.

Should we refinance our house to do investment?

Our latest BLR is 6.30% and of the house loan offer by bank are BLR - 2.00%, we need to pay 4.3%.

Lets us assume house loan rate fix at 5%, by borrowing RM100,000 at 5% interest rate with 20 year tenures. You are need to pay RM859.96 and total RM7,919.47 in one year. If you manage to use the RM100,000 to make a return of 8%, then you are safe.

So should we refinance our house to get a loan and invest in somewhere else? It is depends on how much return you can get back from your investment.

Lets us consider some bad scenarios, what if BLR go higher? then how much is the return that we need to survive?

Assuming Borrowing RM 100,000 and loan tenure is 20 years.
5.0% house loan rate, you need to pay RM 7,919.52 per year (=8.0%)
5.5% house loan rate, you need to pay RM 8,254.68 per year (=8.3%)
6.0% house loan rate, you need to pay RM 8,597.16 per year (=8.6%)
6.5% house loan rate, you need to pay RM 8,946.84 per year (=9.0%)
7.0% house loan rate, you need to pay RM 9,303.58 per year (=9.3%) 

It is unlikely for house loan rate to go higher than 7.0% unless it is on bull market, if so, then your investment should be able to make more than it. So if you able to make a return from your investment more than 10% per year, you are actually using bank money to make money and this is how the rich doing.

Hong Kong Trip part 1

HongKong is really an amazing place to visit~


I was amazed by their transportation system at the first day I arrived Hong Kong, you can see all the taxi around you and you can just as easy as wave your hand to hire one. Their taxi are all running with meter bill, so you are not need to ask for the price from them. It is fair enough, unlike malaysia, we have to ask for the price first before taking taxi. 


The second I was shocked was their escalator speed, it is very fast until I almost fall down from the escalator at the first step I step on it, I used to go to Singapore before this, but I think Hong Kong escalator speed is faster than Singapore speed. The reason why Hong Kong and Singapore need such a high speed escalator is because they need to serve the high dense population in their country. Malaysia should be followed them as well especially in high dense population places like KL central.


The third shock was the speed of their Mass Transit Railway (MTR) system, the MTR system is so perfect and their speed is so fast. If you want to change the railway, you not need to go out to the MTR station and change it likeMalaysia, all you need to do is just walk a few steps to get another railway and all are in air-conditioning. Normally we are used to wait for monorail or LRT about 4 to 7 minutes, and 15 to 20 minutes for KTM (sometime wait 30 minutes also can't get it), but in Hong Kong, the time you need to wait is just about 1 to 2 minutes (sometime I am not even have a change to sit down to take a rest, then the train already arrive). I am not sure how long is the train, but I judge it is atleast 4 to 5 times longer than our LRT.

So imagine our Malaysia LRT in your mind now, then now imagining another railway which is moving 4 times faster, 4 times longer, the escalator speed 2 times faster, not need to walk out railway station to change the train, all air-conditioning, all the people are using touch n go (they called "octopus card")~is
How it looks like? lol~ is it scary?

Will blog up another view in next post. Time to search for food~ :p



Is it look yummy?
