Journey of a Kampung Investor in search of financial freedom
A new crisis is emerging and this time around it’s coming from Asia. Surprising, the problem is coming from United Arab Emirates, Dubai. Who will imagine financial problem will come from one of the oil producing country?
I am not quite sure what do people always use, share market or stock market but nonetheless i am sure many are loosing money from the stock market although it has rallied from 800+ points to current 1200+ points.
I was talking to my friends the other day and cheekily asked him whether he got invest in the share market? He told me that he didn’t and regretted for not doing so. My friend also asked me whether i made money from the share market and i told him that my record thus far is all gain and no losses.
How much do Malaysians spend? Came across this interesting title when i was browsing through Raja Petra’s Malaysia Today.
The video is about How much do Malaysians spend? At first when i saw the title, i was quite curious on what is it all about as you all know Kampung Investor is a investment blog. So the title is really interesting for my blog.
I will put this post on the Wealth Management and Ramblings categories and enjoy the video! ^^
Permodalan National Berhad (PNB) recently announced that ASN 3, one of their investment products to a 5.5 sen dividend.
The payout will amount to RM6.92 million. The 5.5 sen distribution was is 5.4% return of investment for those invested in this fund.
Conclusion
A better return in % compared to fixed deposit but still not my cup of tea! I am more of a volatile investor that targets much higher returns. That is why the share market is my cup of tea! I am still young and i can withstand all the risks involved in share market investments. ^^

SCOMIMR (7045) has been my target for the passed couple of months. I have been accumulating slowly and guess what? I have made another purchase on SCOMIMR.
I added more SCOMIMR into my portfolio, on the same day i bought MAXIS. Didn’t post on my purchase earlier because i saved the screen shot of my transaction on SCOMIMR on my sister’s laptop.
I didn’t waste my time or money trying to apply for Maxis IPO as i have heard stories of unsuccessful and unsatisfied applicants of the Maxis IPO.
I even heard one of my friends applying for 20000 shares of Maxis IPO but ended up with only 600 shares. That is why i didn’t even try to apply. Didn’t want my money to be stuck so long while waiting for them to ballot them.
I received an email from my remisier on latest updates on Genting SP. One of the major updates is that Genting SP will be opening on time which is end of this year. This is a major boost for the company.
Not only that i have received two more latest update from my email which is :-
Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) announced ticket prices
Ticket prices for Universal Studios Singapore will be derived from an average daily ticket price of S$65. With this, we can expect 1) a bigger proportion of day passes and 2) good response to express passes.
They have better and higher expectations on the passes because it was earlier expected the ticket prices to be at S$70.
Hotel Room Rates
Room rates will be starting at S$ 400/room/night! It is a bit pricey from my point of view but nonetheless it’s good news for investors as they can make more money from it.
The drawback is that, people might be put off with the high prices of the rooms. One thing is for sure, new resorts with new environment will not stop people from flocking to Genting SP premises in numbers.
Conclusion
Everything is coming into picture piece by piece. It is like a jigsaw puzzle waiting to be completed. In my email, Genting SP is targeted as Trading Buy with a target price from S$ 1.11 to $1.25
Anyway that is not my target. I will keep it for a long long time. Just can’t wait for my ugly duckling to grow into a beautiful swan! ^^

After one year of writing, Kampungboy has managed to write 100 posts in Kampunginvestor. I reserved this post just to ramble on my 100th posts.
Although i could have done much better in writing more posts but time constraint is the main reason why didn’t write much on this blog.
Nonetheless, with the time i have, i am quite satisfied to finish 100 posts in roughly around one year.
My next aim, will be to grow bigger or as big as Malaysia’s top bloggers like Kclau or Liewcf. Watch me go!
Oh yeah, i have around 50+ RSS Subscribers in my blog already. Not a bad start!
Good luck to all the investors out there. Hope my experiences will help you a little here and there. Stay tune for more posts!

Maxis IPO is listed today. Most people are curious on whether they are successful in their IPO application and wants to check their status of their IPO.
I have found a website where you can check your IPO application in a few easy steps.
Not too long ago, i wrote on an article titled “Green Packet kiss of death“. It seems that GPACKET has made an absolute turn of going up instead of the opposite way. My friends are telling me this, “See i told you so, to invest in GPACKET when it was around RM 0.70-0.80 range but you don’t want to listen”
If you have the money and extra cash why not? DiGi is a top notch company in Malaysia and one of the 3 major telecommunications giants in Malaysia. No doubt about that. Let me share with you main reasons you should invest in the yellow army, DiGi
Reasons why you should invest in DiGi :-
DiGi is responding well to Maxis IPO that will relist Maxis again into Bursa Malaysia. DiGi posted a very strong Q3 result with an EPS of 31.40 sen for year 2009.
This brings to accumulated EPS for the first three quarters to 97 sen. Although slightly lower compared to last year which is 112.30 sen, but it is still a strong performance due to the recession that the globe is facing.
Not only that, DiGi has up the ante again by announcing that DiGi will increase their payout of 80% of their net earnings as dividends. This makes DiGi on par with Maxis which has a 75% of dividend payout of net profits.
I have added SCOMIMR (7045) today at the price of RM0.56 with another 4200 shares. That makes me a proud owner of 10000 SCOMIMR shares. Will i stop my collection of SCOMIMR after today’s purchase? The answer is NO! I will be going after for more if this baby goes south.
My latest average price of SCOMIMR has been brought down after today’s purchase :-
