KUALA LUMPUR: YTL Power International Bhd expects its subsidiary YTL Communications Sdn Bhd to turn around within two years, managing director Tan Sri Francis Yeoh told shareholders at the company’s annual general meeting here yesterday.
A 60% subsidiary of YTL Power, YTL Communications launched its YES 4G wireless network in November last year.
“He [Yeoh] told shareholders to be patient and think that YTL Communications will turn around to become an aggressive and profitable company within two years,” said a shareholder at the AGM.
For its 1QFY12 ending Sept 30, YTL Power’s mobile broadband network division posted a loss before tax of RM94.94 million. For its FY11 ending June 30, the division posted a loss before tax of RM280.2 million on the back of RM26.6 million in revenue.
YTL Power’s net profit for FY11 increased by 11.3% to RM1.346 billion from RM1.209 billion a year ago, on the back of a 9.1% increase in revenue to RM14.663 billion from RM13.443 billion a year ago.
Yeoh said YES now has a subscriber base of over 3,000 and YTL Communications will break even when it has one million subscribers, according to the shareholder.
Yeoh told shareholders that YTL Communications will launch an Android smartphone together with an “easy to understand” price plan in January next year. The Android smartphone will be sold at half the price of an iPhone.
However, shareholders at the AGM were disappointed with YTL Power’s dividends for FY11.
YTL Power paid dividends amounting to 9.39 sen for FY11 compared with 13.13 sen for FY10, a reduction of about 29%.
“Francis [Yeoh] said the company paid less dividends compared to last year because it is preserving cash for a huge credit crunch which he [Yeoh] believes will happen in the coming year or two,” said the shareholder.
The shareholder said Yeoh believes this “huge and wild” financial turbulence will last for a year or two.
“Yeoh said he is preparing YTL Power for good growth after the ‘turbulence’ as there will be better opportunities if a company is in a good cash position,” added the shareholder.
As of end-September, YTL Power had cash reserves of RM8.155 billion against borrowings of RM15.644 billion.

分享锦集:投资之道 利人利己
Nov 18th, 2011 | By 冷眼 | Category: 分享锦集
老李一席“败在心术不正”，有如醍醐灌顶，使老陈如梦初醒，原来他几年来在股市抢进杀出，并非由于消息不灵通，更非行动不够快捷，而是投机行为，本质上就是损人利己，损人利己的事，注定会失败（见上周“败在心术不正”）。
但是，解开了一个谜团，引出了一个更大的谜团：如果在股市抢进杀出不能赚钱，那么，要怎样投资才能在股市赚钱？
他好像走进了一个死胡同，找不到出路，於是趁屠妖节假期，请老李到旧街场咖啡店喝白咖啡，请教他股市赚钱正道。
老李喝了两口白咖啡之后，一本正经地说：“惟有利人利己，才能在股市长赚。”
老陈听得糊涂起来，脱口而出：“什么利人利己，这跟投资有啥关系？”
老李卖了一个关子：“利人利己，就是创造‘三赢’”！
老陈更加莫名其妙，对老李说：“我不知道你讲什么，能说得具体一点吗？”
老李不直接回答他的质问，只慢条斯里地问他：“你同意不同意，买股票就是买公司的股份？”
增加社会福祉
老陈：“同意，这是浅之又浅的道理。”
老李：“买股份就是参股做生意？”
老陈：“对，这个我懂。”
老李：做生意就是生产产品，或是提供某种服务？”
老陈：“当然。”
李李：“供应产品或提供服务，都使人受惠，都有助於提供社会福祉，同意吗？”
老陈沉吟片刻：“能说得具体一点吗？”
老李：“例如你购买种植股，就是参股种油棕，种植公司将棕油卖给人口众多的国家如中国、印度、苏联，使这些国家的广大人民，都能以合理的价格买到食油，提升了他们的生活素质，这样，投资种油棕，是不是有助於增加社会的福祉？”
老陈：“是”。
李李：“你购买种植股，就是将资金投资在种植公司，种植公司生产棕油，增添社会福祉，不就等于是你在增添社会福祉吗？”
老陈：“这个道理我明白，但是这跟投资股票赚钱有什么关系呢？你是不是扯得太远了？”
老李：“种植公司将棕油卖给中国、印度、苏联等国家，取得了可观的利润，公司将利润以股息的方式派给股东，股东是不是赚到钱？”
老陈：“能举个实际的例子吗？”
老李：“例如你购买嘉利丹（KRETAM）的股票，嘉利丹投资油棕业，生产棕油，将棕油卖给中国、印度或苏联人，由于棕油价格挺秀，该公司赚得丰厚的利润，将部份利润分发给股东，你不是有收到15%的免税股息吗？你的投资已取得不错的回酬，这才是投资正道。”
油棕历久不衰
老陈：“这是股息，但是这跟股价有什么关系？”
老李：“由于嘉利丹盈利上升，又派发可观股息，嘉利丹的股票价格由去年的1令吉左右，升至目前的2令吉以上，你赚取了超过100%的利润，你的投资取得了超越大势的回酬，你购买嘉利丹，一方面得到股息，一方面股票又增值，你取得双重的利益，但没有任何人受损，你的赚钱，并非来自别人的损失，这才是投资正道”。
老陈：“你开始说‘惟有利人利己，才能在股市赚钱’，又说什么‘利人利己，就是创造“三赢”’，这又是怎么一回事？”
老李：“种植公司将棕油卖给中国、印度、苏联的消费人，消费人将棕油制成食油或其他产品，从中得益或受惠，他们是赢家，这是一赢。”
老陈：“那么什么是二赢”？
老李：“种植公司从生产棕油，取得了丰厚的利润，他们是赢家，这是二赢”。
老陈：“谁是三赢者？”
老李：“三赢的赢家就是你，作为嘉利丹的股东，你的投资不但分到股息，而且股份的价值也上升了1倍，你是赢家，是为三赢”。
老陈：“现在我明白了，涉及油棕业的三方面：提供资金的投资者，负责生产棕油的企业和棕油的消费者，全部都得益，大家都是赢家，没有人蒙受损失，由于大家都受惠，所以油棕种植业才能历久不衰，对吗？”
老李：“对，这就是投资正道。这个模式，可以应用到所有的行业。”
三赢才能持久经营
老陈：“请再举两个例子。”
老李：“例如银行业，银行收集了公众人士的存款，转借给企业家开工厂，存款人取得定期存款利息，是赢家；银行赚取存款和放贷之利息差额，是二赢家；企业家取得所需的资金，开设工厂，生产产品，从中赚取利润，是三赢家，有此“三赢”，银行业乃能持久经营”。
老陈：“其他企业亦如此？”
老李：“是的，例如屋业发展公司收集投资者的资金，买地建屋出售，买屋人有屋可住，是一赢家；发展商取得利润，是二赢家，投资者分到红利，是三赢家，故屋业能长存。”
老陈：“我明白了，种植业、金融业、工业……等等，都是利人利己的事业，所以能长久经营。”
分开经营管理
“我们作为股票投资者，将资金交给种植公司、银行、工业家，就是委托他们代我们去从事利人利己，大家都受惠，大家都是赢家的事业，作为上市公司的股东，我们其实都是在做事业，只是我们把经营权和管理权，交给董事部去执行，我们没有直接参与经营和管理事业而已。”
“作为股东，我们分到红利（股息）、股份（股票）的价值又不断增值， 这才是投资五道，这才是股票投资正道”。
老李：“是的，作为上市公司股东，我们的回酬，是来自公司的盈利，由于有盈利，股份才会增值，使股东的财富与日俱增，通过这种途径赚钱，没有‘损人’，故能长久投资。”
老陈：“我明白了，如果我们在股市投机赚钱的话，我们是赚另一名股东的钱，我所赚的钱来自他的损失，这是损人利己，不能长做，因为长期投机必然亏蚀，故投机无法累积财富，只有长期投资才能累积财富。”
长久创造价值
老李：“是的，投资能创造价值，故能长久，投机只是股份的转让，并非生产行为，不能创造价值，故不能持久”。
老陈：“什么创造不创造价值？”
老李：“嘉利丹以你的资金，开辟油棕园，生产更多棕油，聘请更多工人，这就是创造价值；你买嘉利丹的股票，嘉利丹不会种更多油棕，更不会多请一个工人，所以没有创造价值。”
老李补充：“创造价值，利人利己，人人都是赢家，故能长久经营，你才可以长期投资，长期投资才能赚钱。”
老陈只请老李喝了一杯白咖啡，就找到了投资正道，猛喊：“值得，值得！”

分享锦集：败在心术不正
Nov 11th, 2011 | By 冷眼 | Category: 分享锦集
老陈是一名执行人员，工作了十多年，手头有一笔不大不小的储蓄，他认为把钱摆在银行里作定期存款，存足了漫长的365天，每1000令吉才取得区区35令吉的利息。
5万令吉的血汗钱，每年只取得1750令吉的回酬，何时才能累积到足够的教育费，让两个孩子去受大学教育呢？
他听说精於投资的同事老李，靠着敏锐的眼光，投资股票，现在身家已增至6个数字，他认为如果他走这条路，靠着他的聪明睿智，成绩当不在老李之下。
就这样，老陈提出了他的定存，一头栽进股市。
抢进杀出回酬反减
回酬太低，时间太长，是他舍定存入股市的主要原因，因此，他一开始就抱着在股市中搏杀，以求取更高回酬的投机策略，他认为不入虎穴，焉得虎子，为了让孩子有受大学教育的机会，他愿意冒险。
老陈就这样成为股市中另一名活跃的投机者。
但是，现实跟理想，往往背道而驰，经过了几年的抢进杀出，他的身家，不增反减，他百思不得其解，他付出这么多的心力去研究资料，打听消息，何以效果却那么差劲？
他听说老李，在股市中很少买卖，然而成绩斐然，靠着股票投资，不但有能力供一对儿女，在外国名牌大学毕业，如今都在大公司担任高职，老李不久就退休了，对于退休后的生活，一点也不担忧，因为他的投资收入，足以应付退休后的开支。
基本面评估股票
老陈找到了老李，请他吃晚餐，请教他股票投资成功之道。
在老李的要求下，老陈毫不保留的说出他的投机方法，然后问老李到底如何出错？
消息买股股价飚升
老李三杯下肚，沉吟良久，慢条斯里地说：“你无法在股市赚钱，是因为你心术不正。”
老陈一头雾水，他问：“你有无搞错，我怎会心术不正呢？”
老李问他：“你最近是不是以每股6令吉，买进了一批A公司的股票？”
老陈：“是啊。”
老李：“你为什么要买进A股？”
老陈：“因为有消息说此股很快就会起到8令吉，我有机会赚2令吉嘛！”
老李：“那么，你知道不知道A股实际上值得多少钱？”
老陈搔了搔头说：“我倒没想过这问题，不过，此股最低曾跌到2令吉，这两个月来，好消息不绝，股价一直飚升，现在已是6令吉了，不过我听说还会起，所以我在6令吉时买进，因为听说可涨至8令吉，不过，这跟心术不正有什么关系呢？能赚钱就行了，我管它价值多少？”
对股票研究有素的老李说：“不但有关系，而且关系很密切呢。据我所知，从基本面评估，A股最多值得2令吉，别人以6令吉卖给你，实际上已把你骗了，现在你以6令吉买进，希望以8令吉卖给别人，你也是想骗别人。骗来骗去，这种人是不是心术不正？”
老陈抗议：“我可没有这个存心啦，如果别人肯以8令吉跟我买，就好像我肯以6令吉向别人买，都是心甘情愿的，谁也没存心去骗人，怎能说是‘心术不正’呢？”
损人利己不能长久
老李微微点头说：“是啦，把A股卖给你的人，以及你把A股又卖给别人，都没有存心骗人，实际上，你们根本没想过这样做有什么不对，有股市存在数百年来，人人都这样做，从来没有人去想过这样做有什么不妥。
“但是，请你往深一层想：把一件只值得2令吉的东西，以8令吉卖给别人，跟中国旅游区的小商，以100元人民币，将只值10元人民币的假手镯，卖给游客，有什么分别？只不过是你没有存心骗人，而中国小商由始至终都存心骗游客，如此而已。”
“不过，尽管没有存心，实质上还是大同小异，将没有价值的东西，高价卖给别人以谋利！”
老陈说：“既然没有存心骗人，那么，就不算心术不正了吧！何况愿意以8令吉向我买A股的人，他也可能有机会以10令吉卖出，取得2令吉的利润，他也是受惠啦！”
居心不良长期蒙亏
老李：“的确是如此，他也是在没有存心的情况下骗人。现在的问题，不是有没有存心，而是这样做最终必有人受害，那个以10令吉买进的人，当股价崩溃时，A股跌至其真实价值2令吉的水平时，他亏损了8令吉，这可是他的血汗钱呵！”
“所以，把没有价值的股票推高，然后脱售给无知的散户，是损人利己的行为。没有任何损人利己的行为，可以长久存在，参与这种活动的人，必须蒙受亏损，这就是在股市投机，亏蚀者永远多过赚钱者的最根本原因。”
老李见老陈哑口无言，就继续说：“股市的买者与卖者，在进行交易时，其实都没有存心不良，问题是投机活动，有如赌博，本质就是损人利己。”
股票投机 零和游戏
“股市或赌场中，赌徒都是你情我愿，也是愿赌服输，故参与投机或赌博的双方，都没有不公平，问题不是公平不公平，而是整个活动的本质，就是损人利己，有一方赢就必有一方输，使赌业成为罪业 （Sin Industry）, 投机跟赌博相似，是事情的本质，使它成为近乎罪业。”
“股票投机，是零和 （Zero Sum） 游戏，一方之所赢，必然等于另一方之所输，一方的受益，是由另一方的损失成就的。靠损人以达到利己的目的，是不是心术不正？”
老李说：“任何事情、行为、活动、事业的行为，必须建立在互惠互利，利人利己的基础上，才能持久，投机行为之所以不能长做，就好像赌博不能长赌，长赌必输，就是因为这类行为不是建立在互惠互利，利人利己的基础上。”
老李又说：“那么，为什么投机行业或赌业，却永远存在？永远有人前仆后继的参与？这是人性弱点使然，大多数人无法控制自己的弱点，罪业长存，原因在此。”
现在，老陈终於明白，何以他殚精竭虑，在股市抢进杀出，却赚不到钱，而老李行动不多，总是“莺莺美黛子”（闽语），却在股市大赚特赚的原因了。
读者诸君，你到底是老李还是老陈？
想做老陈还是老李？由你自己决定，但你必须对你的决定负责。

老李：“的确是如此，他也是在没有存心的情况下骗人。现在的问题，不是有没有存心，而是这样做最终必有人受害，那个以10令吉买进的人，当股价崩溃时，A股跌至其真实价值2令吉的水平时，他亏损了8令吉，这可是他的血汗钱呵！”
“所以，把没有价值的股票推高，然后脱售给无知的散户，是损人利己的行为。没有任何损人利己的行为，可以长久存在，参与这种活动的人，必须蒙受亏损，这就是在股市投机，亏蚀者永远多过赚钱者的最根本原因。”
老李见老陈哑口无言，就继续说：“股市的买者与卖者，在进行交易时，其实都没有存心不良，问题是投机活动，有如赌博，本质就是损人利己。”
股票投机 零和游戏
“股市或赌场中，赌徒都是你情我愿，也是愿赌服输，故参与投机或赌博的双方，都没有不公平，问题不是公平不公平，而是整个活动的本质，就是损人利己，有一方赢就必有一方输，使赌业成为罪业 （Sin Industry）, 投机跟赌博相似，是事情的本质，使它成为近乎罪业。”
“股票投机，是零和 （Zero Sum） 游戏，一方之所赢，必然等于另一方之所输，一方的受益，是由另一方的损失成就的。靠损人以达到利己的目的，是不是心术不正？”
老李说：“任何事情、行为、活动、事业的行为，必须建立在互惠互利，利人利己的基础上，才能持久，投机行为之所以不能长做，就好像赌博不能长赌，长赌必输，就是因为这类行为不是建立在互惠互利，利人利己的基础上。”
老李又说：“那么，为什么投机行业或赌业，却永远存在？永远有人前仆后继的参与？这是人性弱点使然，大多数人无法控制自己的弱点，罪业长存，原因在此。”
现在，老陈终於明白，何以他殚精竭虑，在股市抢进杀出，却赚不到钱，而老李行动不多，总是“莺莺美黛子”（闽语），却在股市大赚特赚的原因了。
读者诸君，你到底是老李还是老陈？
想做老陈还是老李？由你自己决定，但你必须对你的决定负责。

Cheaper latex a positive for glovemakers
Written by Chong Jin Hun
Monday, 21 November 2011 12:37
KUALA LUMPUR: Latex prices, which hit fresh lows in recent days, are seen to be on a downward trend in the coming months in anticipation of lower demand by major industrial users, a positive for natural rubber (NR) glove producers although other concerns linger.
Analysts said rubber prices could be stifled by lower demand due to the eurozone sovereign debt crisis, besides automotive sector supply chain disruption from the floods in Thailand. Normalising demand for rubber gloves in the absence of disease outbreaks is another factor underlying lower consumption of rubber in the coming months.
“There is a downside bias to our forecast for rubber prices,” an analyst with MIDF Amanah Investment Bank Bhd told The Edge Financial Daily.
MIDF’s forecast indicates that latex will trade at an average of RM9 a kg this year before falling to RM8.75 in 2012. An analyst said the current situation would benefit glovemakers with a higher composition of NR gloves than synthetic rubber or nitrile glovemakers. Notable players include Top Glove Corp Bhd whose portfolio comprises 81% natural rubber gloves with the balance 19% being nitrile products.
Supermax Corp Bhd has a ratio of 80:20 for natural and nitrile gloves respectively while Kossan Rubber Industries Bhd has a ratio of 55:45.
Concerns over normalising demand for gloves due to the absence of outbreaks have given rise to fears of a price war among players, which could hurt the profit margins of these companies, the analyst added.
“Buyers of rubber gloves are adopting a wait and see attitude in anticipation of rubber prices going down further,” she said. Latex makes up some 60% of glovemakers’ cost.
The analyst said that while floods in Thailand have caused supply chain disruptions for the automotive sector, the situation there has begun to recover, and this is expected to lend support to rubber prices.
OSK Research Sdn Bhd analyst Jason Yap said he expects rubber prices to decline in the long term as demand is seen to be anaemic. This is due to moves by glovemakers to increase output of nitrile products and normalising demand for gloves.
Yap also said the global automotive sector, which consumes 70% of world rubber output, encountered setbacks against a weak global economic backdrop and floods in Thailand.
Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia are the world’s top producers and exporters of rubber, accounting for 70% of global output. It has been widely anticipated that these top suppliers would embark on measures to stem the decline in natural rubber prices.
Policymakers in Thailand, for example, plan to spend 10 billion baht (RM1 billion) to increase inventory of the commodity. It was reported that a soft loan of some 10 billion baht would be given to the country’s estimated 600 cooperatives to purchase rubber from farmers at 95 baht per kg. The move is expected to drain supply out of the market to support prices of the commodity. Lawmakers there have also encouraged tappers to delay tapping between now and January next year to cut supply.
OSK’s Yap said amid expectations that top rubber producers will stem the decline in rubber prices, glove buyers are anticipated to increase their inventory ahead of the next year’s wintering season, when latex production is lower.
Rubber prices declined to fresh lows in recent days on expectation that the eurozone sovereign debt woes and lower vehicle output by major automotive players in Thailand due to the floods will reduce demand for the commodity.
Over the last six months, Malaysian latex prices have fallen 32% from a high of RM9.51 a kg on May 27 to RM6.43 on Nov 14.
The eurozone debt woes are far from over. Economists expect economic activities there to further weaken after a survey involving purchasing executives indicated that the manufacturing and service industries declined further last month leading to expectations of a contraction in the eurozone’s GDP in 4Q11 and 1Q12.
As the automotive sector consumes 70% of world rubber supply, a perceived weakness in the automotive industry will naturally impact rubber prices.
The floods in Thailand are creating a second major supply disruption in the global automotive sector since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. According to news reports, the floods in Thailand have spread across 64 of Thailand’s 77 provinces and affected seven industrial enclaves where Honda Motor Co and auto parts makers have set up factories.
Global automotive players are also feeling the pinch. According to news reports, car factories across the Americas, and Asia, including Malaysia and Indonesia, will see lower vehicle output due to the supply chain disruption.
RHB Research Institute wrote in a note last Friday that it had revised downwards its 2011 total industry volume (TIV) for the Malaysian automotive sector to 604,000 units compared with 616,000 units previously.
This follows guidance from the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) that vehicle sales here would decline this month due to supply disruptions resulting from the floods in Thailand.
Year-to-date till October, Malaysian TIV fell 0.3% to 503,898 units, according to MAA.

IOI Corp’s 1QFY12 affected by high forex loss
Written by Financial Daily
Tuesday, 22 November 2011 10:55
IOI Corp Bhd
(Nov 21, RM4.97)
Downgrade to sell at RM5.05 with target price of RM4.50: IOI Corp recorded a net profit of RM258 million (-52.9% quarter-on-quarter [q-o-q], -48.2% year-on-year [y-o-y]) for 1QFY12. The results were way below expectation due to unrealised foreign exchange losses of RM271.7 million. Excluding this, 1QFY12 net profit was RM530 million (-3.3% q-o-q, +6.4% y-o-y), in line with expectation. Higher fresh fruit bunch (FFB) production has boosted the plantation division’s contribution. However, weakening downstream business and property divisions were a drag on net profit.
IOI’s FFB production grew 8.1% in 1QFY12. However, we expect some contraction in 2QFY12 production growth due to potential heavy rainfall from La Nina by this December and January and the 22- to 24-month impact of the 2009/10 El Nino. If La Nina is extended to April/May 2012, production will be lower than expected. We project a 7% to 9% growth in production for FY12.
IOI continued to suffer from lower sales and margins for its oleochemical and speciality fats products. This was attributable to stiff competition from Indonesian players and weakness in the European markets. IOI recorded a lower margin for its refineries segment, contrary to our expectation that refining margin would improve due to high prices on the back of high biodiesel demand. IOI’s downstream operation is expected to continue to suffer given the uncertainty and economic slowdown in Europe as it has significant exposure to the European market and with the new export tax structure that favours Indonesian downstream players.
Its property division is likely to stay weak due to the slowdown in the property market. Developers are slowing down their launches, anticipating a weak property market in Malaysia. On the other hand, IOI is embarking on a larger joint venture project in Singapore with City Development’s South Beach, located in downtown Singapore. It has an estimated gross development value of S$3.1 billion (RM7.6 billion) and completion is scheduled in 2015. We expect the project to start contributing 5% to 7% to IOI’s pre-tax profit in FY14.
We are maintaining our earnings estimates as the lower performance in 1QFY12 was due mainly to the unrealised forex losses from its US$1.3 billion (RM9.8 billion) loan.
We forecast earnings per share of 31.9 sen, 34 sen and 39 sen for FY12 to FY14.
We downgrade IOI to “sell” as the current price is above our target price after the recent price rally. Our target price is RM4.50, based on sum-of-the-parts, implying 13 times FY13F earnings per share. Investors should lock in profit from the recent share price strength. Its performance is likely to lag its peers’ due to declining FFB yield and past-prime acreage which is also due for replanting soon, and this would affect production and bottom line. — UOBKayHian, Nov 21

Masterskill 3QFY11 continues to disappoint
Written by Financial Daily
Tuesday, 22 November 2011 10:53
Masterskill Education Group Bhd
(Nov 21, RM1.16)
Maintain fully valued at RM1.20 with revised target price of 70 sen (from RM1.20): Masterskill’s 3QFY11 net profit plunged 78.8% year-on-year (y-o-y) and 52.1% quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q) to RM5.5 million. This brings 9MFY11 net profit to RM39.7 million or 52.5% of our initial full-year estimate, way below expectation. Revenue for 3QFY11shrank to RM61.2 million (-24.1% y-o-y, -7% q-o-q) on the back of weak new student intake (1,800 year-to-date, below the circa 3,000 students that graduated in September 2011). This, coupled with rising overhead costs (attributable to teaching staff, depreciation and other administration costs), dragged down operating margin to 15.9% (3QFY10: 40.7%, 2QFY11: 15.4%).
Masterskill has been struggling to draw in more new students due to: (i) a more competitive health science education landscape; (ii) a shift in industry trend whereby fewer students are pursuing diploma courses in private education institutions; (iii) lower National Higher Education Fund (PTPTN) funding limit; and (iv) higher minimum entry requirement for nursing programmes.
Following the disappointing 3QFY11, we have cut FY11F to FY13F earnings by 38% to 43% as we factor in lower new student intakes of 2,100 (from 4,000) in FY11F and 4,500 (from 5,100) in FY12F (when there could be a higher number of new students for its degree programmes and new courses as Masterskill embarks on fresh initiatives to diversify its income profile).
We have also trimmed our dividend payout assumption to 40% (from 50%), which translates to dividend per share of 4.4 sen (of which 4.2 sen has just been declared) or a prospective 3.7% net yield for FY11F. Masterskill may want to conserve cash for its capital expenditure requirements amid a weak earnings outlook. Maintain “fully valued” with a revised target price of 70 sen (from RM1.20) based on nine times FY12F earnings per share with support from its existing net cash balance of RM121.6 million, or 30 sen per share. — HwangDBS Vickers Research, Nov 21

KNM posts net loss RM116.29m in 3Q
Written by Surin Murugiah of theedgemalaysia.com
Tuesday, 22 November 2011 18:58
KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 22): KNM GROUP BHD [] posted net loss RM116.29 million for third quarter ended Sept 30, 2011 compared to net profit RM56.09 million a year earlier, due mainly to one off provision for foreseeable losses and credit impairments.
The company said on Tuesday that revenue for the quarter rose 6.41% to RM445.18 million from RM418.36 million in 2010.
Loss per share for the quarter was 11.88 sen compared to earnings per share of 5.69 sen a year earlier, while net assets per share was RM1.69.
There was no dividend declared or recommended during quarter under review.
However, KNM said it had adopted a dividend policy of distributing at least 50% of its consolidated net attributable after tax profit (subject to the availability of distributable reserves and compliance of financial covenants) with effect from financial year ending Dec 31, 2012.
For the nine months ended Sept 30, KNM posted net loss RM86.42 million compared to net profit RM110.57 million in 2010, while its revenue grew 19% to RM1.4 billion from RM1.17 billion.
Reviewing its performance, KNM said the higher revenue in this year was due to higher job recognition.
On its prospects, KNM said notwithstanding its strong order book, the company expects the business environment for the remaining quarter to remain challenging due to global uncertainties.
“However, the board is optimistic that going forward the prospects for the oil & gas industry remains positive,” it said.

分享锦集：怎样看待经济危机？
Nov 4th, 2011 | By 冷眼 | Category: 分享锦集
在过去几年中，世界发生了多次经济危机，从美国次贷金融海啸，杜拜的债务，到目前尚在演变中的欧洲主权债务危机，每一次的经济危机，都对各国股市，带来极大的冲击，股市崩溃，导致投资者人心惶惶，不知何去何从。
每一次的经济危机，在发生之前，几乎都是没有预兆可寻，大部分投资者，都没有先见之明，因此都无法事先脱售股票，以避免亏损。
绝大多数投资者都是在危机越来越严重时，才在惊慌失措中低价售股，蒙受重大的亏蚀，到危机消逝后，股市回升，他们才发现他们是在最低潮时卖股，那时已后悔莫及了。
每一个经济危机，都是极为错综复杂的，从发生的前因、诱因，事情的演变，到消弥平息，即使写成一本书，也未必能交待清楚。
没触及事件核心
市面上分析次贷风暴的书，中文、英文，少说也有一百几十种，每一种都有不同的说法，即使像我这样长期阅读《经济学人》（The Economist）等期刊的股票研究人，也感到眼花缭乱，更不要说没有时间或没有能力阅读经济资料的投资散户了。
怎能怪他们在面对经济危机时，不知所措呢！
每一次经济危机暴发后，大众传播媒介都会详细报道，甚至极尽渲染的能事。
首先是访问经济学家，听取他们的分析，经济学家多数只对经济的某个面有研究，很少有对所有经济问题有全面及深入的了解。
所以，他们的看法往往是片面及有局限性的，没有触及事件的核心，再加上报章的篇幅有限，只摘要报道，或是选择最吸引读者的一点，加以夸张扩大，以耸人听闻，阅读此类报道，最容易使人对局势真相，形成偏见，这样又怎能在应用到投资上时，作出正确的判断？
预测经济不容易
在大马，我最欣赏丹斯里林西彦和丹斯里沈联涛的文章，这两位在马港经济金融界身居高位，从高空鸟瞰本国及国际经济大局的经济及金融学家，肯将他们的学识经验与大马人分享，弥足珍贵，读者切勿失之交臂。
在新加坡，我特别重视及认同林崇椰教授的看法。
国内经济，大家不要错过我的旧同事杨名万的文章。
一些报章的评论员，往往对经济危机加以评述，精神可嘉，但由于不是内行人，少有真知灼见。
记者常访问社团领袖、商界翘楚对经济危机的看法，实际上他们都不是对经济大事发表意见的适当人选。
预测经济比预测天气更棘手，即使是研究有素的人所发表的看法，危机平息后回头再读，也对他们的大胆言论，摇头叹息。
我个人对经济预测，总是存疑。
当我在《南洋商报》担任经济组主任的时候，每年当国家银行发表常年报告时，我总是亲自率领财经记者前往采访报道，而在发表过程中，最尴尬的事，是国行过去的经济预测，往往与实际情况相差太远，有时错得离谱，经济精英荟萃的国行，尚且无法准确预测经济，何况是我们这些普通人呢！
冷静观察 客观分析
既然经济预测总是失准，则作为股票投资者，我们又根据什么进行投资？怎样才能在经济危机中赚钱？
我的做法是这样的：
以静代动，贴身跟踪经济的发展，冷静观察事态演变，不因局势的恶化而惊慌失措。
我的经验是无论多么严重的危机，都会有止息的一天，从三十年代的经济大萧条到最近的次贷海啸，那一次是不能复原的？此次欧债，又岂能例外？
经济危机无论多么严重，都不可能是世界末日。人类总是有办法解决难题，无论难题多么大，都有解决的办法。
因为人类追求更美好明天的决心，永无停息。
作为投资散户，我们与其对经济后果胡乱猜测，倒不如以不变应万变，冷静观察，客观分析，尽最大的可能找出危机的谷底或接近谷底的时刻，那时将是长期投资者最佳的入市时刻，买进后就不动如山，任由事件怎样变化，都屹立不动，不被经济回升期间的小波浪所迷惑而过早抛售。
抓住良机一生富足
当所有的大众传媒都一致对危机悲观时，当所有人都恐惧时，危机大概就距离谷底不远了。2009年首季我就发现了这种现象，结果证明那正是散户入市的最佳时机。
当经济最糟糕时，就是价值投资者大显身手的时刻。
你要以做事业的心态看股市，你一向都对某个行业有信心，有心要投资于此行业，就是苦于没有机会，经济危机为你提供了以低成本投资于该行业的机会，在一生中，只要你抓住几个这样的机会，你就能一生富足。
例如你想投资种植业，你想买进种植股，但是在次贷海啸之前，种植股股价太高，以当时的种植股股价申算，等于用3万令吉买1英亩油棕园，你认为不合算，所以不要买进。
次贷风暴导致股市大跌，加上棕油价格由每公吨4000令吉，跌到1600令吉，再加上肥料价格大起，这些因素导致种植公司盈利暴跌，股价跌了四分之三，原来4令吉的股票，敢敢跌到1令吉50仙，你以此价格申算，以1令吉50仙买进，等于以每英亩5000令吉买油棕园，而且是已经成熟的上等油棕园。
以市价总值为标准
你对棕油长期前景有信心，股价暴跌使你有机会低价买进油棕园，买进后就不再卖出，同一只股票现在价格已升了一倍。
你可以用同样的方法廉价买到好股。
最好的标准是市价总值（market capitalisation）。假设一家公司的市价总值为1亿令吉，假如你要创办一家这样的公司的话，你要投资3亿令吉，而且还要数年的时间才能做到有关公司的规模，现在无知的股东，竟以1亿令吉将公司卖给你，你为什么不敢买？不要买？
只要你了解股票及公司的价值，抱着长期投资的态度，经济危机不但不是危机，反而是投资的良机。
当经济危机最严重时，只有认识公司及其股票价值的人，才不会被危机吓倒，才有胆色抓住机会，赚取丰厚的报酬。

在过去几年中，世界发生了多次经济危机，从美国次贷金融海啸，杜拜的债务，到目前尚在演变中的欧洲主权债务危机，每一次的经济危机，都对各国股市，带来极大的冲击，股市崩溃，导致投资者人心惶惶，不知何去何从。
每一次的经济危机，在发生之前，几乎都是没有预兆可寻，大部分投资者，都没有先见之明，因此都无法事先脱售股票，以避免亏损。
绝大多数投资者都是在危机越来越严重时，才在惊慌失措中低价售股，蒙受重大的亏蚀，到危机消逝后，股市回升，他们才发现他们是在最低潮时卖股，那时已后悔莫及了。
每一个经济危机，都是极为错综复杂的，从发生的前因、诱因，事情的演变，到消弥平息，即使写成一本书，也未必能交待清楚。
没触及事件核心
市面上分析次贷风暴的书，中文、英文，少说也有一百几十种，每一种都有不同的说法，即使像我这样长期阅读《经济学人》（The Economist）等期刊的股票研究人，也感到眼花缭乱，更不要说没有时间或没有能力阅读经济资料的投资散户了。
怎能怪他们在面对经济危机时，不知所措呢！
每一次经济危机暴发后，大众传播媒介都会详细报道，甚至极尽渲染的能事。
首先是访问经济学家，听取他们的分析，经济学家多数只对经济的某个面有研究，很少有对所有经济问题有全面及深入的了解。
所以，他们的看法往往是片面及有局限性的，没有触及事件的核心，再加上报章的篇幅有限，只摘要报道，或是选择最吸引读者的一点，加以夸张扩大，以耸人听闻，阅读此类报道，最容易使人对局势真相，形成偏见，这样又怎能在应用到投资上时，作出正确的判断？
预测经济不容易
在大马，我最欣赏丹斯里林西彦和丹斯里沈联涛的文章，这两位在马港经济金融界身居高位，从高空鸟瞰本国及国际经济大局的经济及金融学家，肯将他们的学识经验与大马人分享，弥足珍贵，读者切勿失之交臂。
在新加坡，我特别重视及认同林崇椰教授的看法。
国内经济，大家不要错过我的旧同事杨名万的文章。
一些报章的评论员，往往对经济危机加以评述，精神可嘉，但由于不是内行人，少有真知灼见。
记者常访问社团领袖、商界翘楚对经济危机的看法，实际上他们都不是对经济大事发表意见的适当人选。
预测经济比预测天气更棘手，即使是研究有素的人所发表的看法，危机平息后回头再读，也对他们的大胆言论，摇头叹息。
我个人对经济预测，总是存疑。
当我在《南洋商报》担任经济组主任的时候，每年当国家银行发表常年报告时，我总是亲自率领财经记者前往采访报道，而在发表过程中，最尴尬的事，是国行过去的经济预测，往往与实际情况相差太远，有时错得离谱，经济精英荟萃的国行，尚且无法准确预测经济，何况是我们这些普通人呢！
冷静观察 客观分析
既然经济预测总是失准，则作为股票投资者，我们又根据什么进行投资？怎样才能在经济危机中赚钱？
我的做法是这样的：
以静代动，贴身跟踪经济的发展，冷静观察事态演变，不因局势的恶化而惊慌失措。
我的经验是无论多么严重的危机，都会有止息的一天，从三十年代的经济大萧条到最近的次贷海啸，那一次是不能复原的？此次欧债，又岂能例外？
经济危机无论多么严重，都不可能是世界末日。人类总是有办法解决难题，无论难题多么大，都有解决的办法。
因为人类追求更美好明天的决心，永无停息。
作为投资散户，我们与其对经济后果胡乱猜测，倒不如以不变应万变，冷静观察，客观分析，尽最大的可能找出危机的谷底或接近谷底的时刻，那时将是长期投资者最佳的入市时刻，买进后就不动如山，任由事件怎样变化，都屹立不动，不被经济回升期间的小波浪所迷惑而过早抛售。

Genting fights Disney, South Beach
Genting Bhd’s plan for a US$3.8 billion casino-and-hotel complex along Miami’s Biscayne Bay has turned into a fight over gambling and jobs pitting the Malaysian developer against Walt Disney Co, local hoteliers, restaurant owners and betting parlors.
Florida lawmakers will take up bills in January to allow three casino licences in Miami-Dade County and Broward County to the north for companies investing at least US$2 billion. Ellyn Bogdanoff, the Fort Lauderdale Republican sponsor of the Senate measure, said it has only a 50 percent chance of passing. Governor Rick Scott, also a Republican, said he’ll consider any measure that’s “fair” and “locally decided.”
Genting, whose 10,000-room Casino de Genting in Malaysia is the world’s largest by number of accommodations, began buying about US$500 million of Miami properties even before the bills were filed. The first was the 14-acre bayfront site of the Miami Herald newspaper for US$236 million in May. Las Vegas Sands Corp and MGM Resorts International said they’re also looking.
So-called destination resorts, such as the 5,200-room complex Genting proposes, may bring Florida as many as 100,000 jobs, said Jessica Hoppe, the company’s general counsel. That may help Scott fulfill a campaign promise to create 700,000 positions over seven years in a state where the unemployment rate was 10.6 percent in September, 1.5 percentage points higher than the national average at the time.
Three Rejections
Florida voters rejected casino permits three times since 1978 in statewide referendums. Now, two factors may favor them: a decision by the First District Court of Appeal on Oct. 6 that may dispense with a state ballot and a Florida economy that’s seen tax revenue decline almost 15 percent since fiscal 2006.
Diverting gamblers from the Caribbean, Las Vegas and Atlantic City, New Jersey, would boost the US$63 billion tourist industry, proponents say. Florida is trying to recover from the fourth-steepest decline in economic health of any state over the past five years, according to Bloomberg Economic Evaluation of States Index data.
“What you’re talking about is capturing a market of high- end Venezuelans, South Americans, Latin Americans, Western Europeans that love coming to Miami,” Representative Erik Fresen, a Miami Republican who sponsored the House casino bill, said in an interview in Tallahassee, the capital.
Florida isn’t the only state considering casinos as they try to close fiscal 2013 deficits. The projected gaps are an estimated US$46 billion, according to a June 17 estimate by the Washington-based Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, which advocates for low-income families.
States at Work
Massachusetts lawmakers are working on bills that would allow three resort-style casinos. Illinois Governor Pat Quinn supports elements of a bill for five casinos in his state. In New York City, Genting’s casino at the Aqueduct racetrack in Queens, which opened Oct. 28, estimates it will contribute US$350 million a year to the state for education.
Florida already allows gambling at seven casinos run by the Seminole Tribe and one by the Miccosukee Tribe of American Indians. It also permits poker at horse and greyhound tracks, jai-alai frontons and other sites. Slot machines are offered at five places in Miami-Dade and Broward.
Competition from operators such as Genting will cost Florida millions in lost revenue from the tribe, say the Seminoles, whose headquarters is in Hollywood, north of Miami. -- Bloomberg

No end to Masterskill’s PTPTN worries
| Written by Joanne Nayagam | |||
| Wednesday, 09 November 2011 10:59 |
KUALA LUMPUR: Masterskill Education Group Bhd may see more woes ahead. The group was dealt another setback when the National Higher Education Fund (PTPTN) proposed to reduce loans for students studying at higher educational institutions.
It was reported over the weekend that PTPTN chairman Datuk Ismail Mohamed Said said the corporation had decided to make the cut as there was a large pool of borrowers and loan defaults. He reportedly said loans will continue to cover education and tuition fees, but not living expenses, and will commence in 2013.
Ismail was later quoted as clarifying that it was a proposal and that the final decision would be made by the government.
Potential cuts in funding or disbursement of PTPTN loans have long been a major worry for Masterskill as about 95% of its students depend on them. These concerns started emerging last year on reports that PTPTN saw a rising number of defaults which could limit future funding for these loans.
The concerns and foreign selling have driven the stock sharply lower since the fourth quarter last year and lately there is renewed buying interest.
Last week, Masterskill’s stock jumped from RM1.29 on Monday and Tuesday to RM1.39 on Wednesday before closing at RM1.36 on Friday on heavy volume.
 |
| Masterskill faces prospects of lower enrolment figures as competition for tertiary students heats up. |
The renewed interest is despite the fact that analysts have raised concerns about the prospects of lower enrolment numbers as competition to attract tertiary students heats up.
OSK Research reported last week that “new enrolments in the supposedly major student intake period from September to mid-October are likely to have fallen to the tune of a few hundreds”.
If the proposal is accepted, then the change in loan policy could possibly mean lower student intakes in the future for Masterskill, CIMB Research said in its report yesterday.
“PTPTN recently reduced the loan eligibility for healthcare-related courses from RM60,000 to RM45,000, which is lower than Masterskill’s RM52,000 average three-year course fees for diploma in nursing,” said the report. “As the RM45,000 does not include coverage for student expenses, it should not have a revenue impact on the group. But the decision to stop loans on expenses, though not immediate, is likely to dampen student enrolment.”
Leveraging on such sentiment, the research house lowered its price-to-earnings ratio (PER) target for the group to 7.6 times from 8.7 times, with a reduced price target of RM1.46 from RM1.71. It maintained a “neutral” recommendation on the stock.
Even though the report did not strike out a possible mild rebound in student numbers in the fourth quarter, the 2HFY11 earnings are unlikely to surpass that of 1HFY11 “due to the continued impact of a higher lecturer and staff cost”.
The 1HFY11 results were already lower than previously. Revenue was at RM139.47 million, 9.5% lower year-on-year (y-o-y), than the RM154.15 million posted last year. Net profit fell 30.42% y-o-y to RM34.17 million from RM49.11 million.
CIMB Research has cut its FY11 to FY13 student numbers forecast for Masterskill by 1% to 5% to between 17,000 and 19,000. It expects student growth to be 6%-7% (compared with 8%-9% previously) for the next three years.
CIMB also said in the report the recent share price rebound is “not sustainable” and expects the upcoming 3QFY11 to be weaker quarter-on-quarter.
Masterskill’s 3Q financial results are expected to be released next week (Nov 18) and investors will be waiting to know the group’s plans on how to tackle the PTPTN issue and student growth uncertainties.

分享锦集：确立你的投资哲理
Oct 28th, 2011 | By 冷眼 | Category: 分享锦集
人们步行于浓密的森林中，船只航行於茫茫的大海上，飞机在黑夜中穿洲越洋，假如没有指南针或方向仪的引导，都会迷失方向，无法达到目的地。
股市其实就好像浓密的森林或茫茫的大海，投资者置身其中，假如没有明确的投资哲理作为指南针或方向仪，也很容易迷失方向，在波谲云海的股海中兜圈子，无法走到“财富”的目的地。
许多投资者，在股市中浸淫了数十年，竟然还是无法致富，最大的原因，就是缺乏明确的投资哲理作为引导。
徒劳无功
没有投资哲理的投资者，在股市中抢进杀出，表面上是很努力，实际上是在兜圈子，最后是徒劳无功，这种投资方式，是在浪费时间。
那么，什么是“投资哲理”？
“投资哲理”又叫“投资理念”（Investment Philosobhy），是一组指导你的投资行动的原则。你根据这些原则，作出你的投资决定。
你的投资作风，就是你的投资哲理的具体反映。
投资哲理是你的信心的根据，所以，必须是明确的、肯定的。
不是模糊的，也不能是模棱两可的。
我本身的投资哲理是这样的（我如此相信）：
1.股票投资成败决定于生意眼光，不是决定于预测股市起落的本领。
2.我相信价值，但价值必需有实实在在的财富作为后盾，才能长久存在。
没有财富作为后盾的价值，有如建在沙丘上的屋子，最后一定倒塌。
3.股市不是快速致富的地方，通常风险与投资时间的长短成正比。
4.只有长期投资才可以累积财富，因为价值需有财富作后盾才能持久，而创造财富需要时间。
5.反向是最好的投资策略。
6.慢而稳胜过快而狠。
7.最好的投资决定来自个人，不是来自集体。
8.这一组投资哲理，指导了我的投资行为，因此我不相信投机可以致富、不相信没有价值的股票可以长期站稳高价、不相信炒股可以发达、不相信有任何人有预测股市动向（尤其是短期的）的本领。
我相信价值投资法，相信脚踏实地是最好的投资方式。
提到股票投资，大家都公推股神巴菲特为“状元”。实际上，有不少投资基金，表现不在巴菲特之下，只是规模没有巴菲特之大，宣传没有巴菲特之多而已。
资本增值
最近在网站上读到，大马有一个阿波罗亚洲基金，在过去13年中，投资增值13倍。（1999年11月3日投资100美金，到2011年8月31日时增值至1346.93美金了。平均每年复利增长27.6%。
这只是资本增值，而且是在扣除了每年1%的管理费及15%的奖励金之后，也不包括每年约3%的股息在内。
这个以大马和香港为操作基地，专门投资于亚洲股市的基金，是由一名英国剑桥大学数学系毕业的女投资家Claire Barnes主持。
她在该基金的“投资哲理”中所阐述的投资哲理，包括：
1. 我们是从私人长期投资者的角度评估股票的商业价值，不大理会股市短期波动。
2. 我们喜欢价值，例如以50仙买价值1元的股票，但决不牺牲素质。
3. 我们也喜欢成长股，但价格必须合理（物有所值）。
4. 我们喜欢股息，对于没有派息政策的公司，存有戒心。
5. 我们尽力澈底了解公司，我们访问公司，细读年报和文告，跟他们的对手交谈，了解他们越久越好。
6. 我们通常投资3至15年，但低价买到好公司，也可能永远不卖。
该基金在13年中取得超过13倍的回酬，跟该基金坚持其投资哲理分不开。
你想在股市投资成功吗？
如果是的话，现在就确立你的投资哲理，并且坚持实践到底。
