Journey of a Kampung Investor in search of financial freedom
Went to brother’s ck5354 blog and found a few interesting posts by him. I am making a comparison of a call on a stock by three different parties on Tanjung Offshore (7228). In short Tanjung Offshore is called Tgoffs.
Axiata Group Berhad (6888) the company that is incharged of Celcom in Malaysia posted a positive Q2 financial results. Axiata recorded a profit of RM526.84 million and a 6.00 earnings per share.
Lion Corporation Berhad (3581), the company under Tan Sri William Cheng is in dire straits. Lioncor 4Q earnings is shocking as they made a loss of RM 406.38 million with a loss per share of 21.39 sen.
Not only is the mother company is sick, the son Lion Diversified (2887) is also in red alert. Liondiv posted a loss of RM361.49 million. The EPS of Liondiv is at -25.97 sen.
I am really curious on the happenings of these Lions. Continuous poor results like that will only make Lioncor and Liondiv heading towards PN4 or PN17.
Kampunginvestor’s Verdict
I for once will avoid such shares as it’s not my type of company where i have trust to put my money in. Yes, i have made handsomely before on Liondiv but with such poor performances, i wouldn’t put a single penny on them.
If ever any of the Lions go up in share price, the only reason is the manipulation of pricing. Ill avoid them if i am you!

It’s getting serious the air quality in Malaysia as haze worsens in certain part of Malaysia especially places in East Malaysia and also Klang Valley.
In Melaka, the condition is also quite bad. I had no choice but to get on a mask. It not only help me to protect myself from H1N1 but also protects me from the haze.
Imagine that it’s cloudy and looks like going to rain and there’s no sunlight around. That’s how bad the situation is.
I have found a place where we can find the Air Pollutant Index (API) in Malaysia. It gives reading at 11am and 5pm daily.
How do they rate the area is clean or hazardous using API?
0-50 = Good
51-100 = Moderate
101-200 = Unhealthy
201-300 = Very Unhealthy
> 301 = Hazardous
As per 7th August 2009, Melaka has 78 API at 11am which is moderate. By 5pm, it became 104 which is very unhealthy. Damm, i couldn’t go for my jogging. Too unhealthy. Anyway below i provided a link where you can find the API at your area.

Most of us are categorize as retail investors in the stock market. I am in that group as well. Did you know that only one out of 10 investors can make money from the stock market? The rest always looses out.
I used to be in that loosing category but not anymore. Although i have not recovered all my losses during university days when i was an investor who bets on purely rumours but the last one year has been good.
Let me share a few reasons on why retail investors always suffer losses rather then gains in the share market.
Good news for those Maxis supporters. Maxis will be giving away free 60 minutes free talktime as prizes from 1st July - 30th September 2009. You just need to top up a minimum of RM 10. Simple right?
