If You Build, They Will Come

Readers will know that I have been a loyal follower of EAH. Depending on your entry price, EAH's performance may have been less than desirable over the last 6 months. However, when you take in the 1 for 2 free warrants and 1 for 2 bonus issue, the real effect is pretty good. Now, why would a company keep doing these kind of issues. It is important if your desire is to grow and make the Main Board. Secondly, its also an effective way to reward shareholders.EAH just announced its 4Q2011 results and the full year's results have been tabulated below:I don't know about you but from RM4m to RM11m net profit is nothing to be sneezed at.

Classic Value-Momentum Investing Candidate

I wrote about Ewein back in November which had a run then and then fizzled out. Over the last few days, volume and price activity have perked up significantly again. Will that fizzle out as well? No one knows. Sometimes, we have to note these momentum driven plays (with good fundamentals), sometimes it may take more than one run to "confirm" things. A stock may run on news of certain corporate developments, but as we all know the germination of an idea takes time to execute. Maybe this run is a better prelude to a proper move, I might be wrong again, but considering that the share has not had a significant run for more than a year, its a calculated good bet.Key levels, 99 sen, its 4 week high and 1.15 its 52 week high.DateOpenRangeCloseChangeVolume24/02/20120.9250.92 - 0.9750.965+0.04 (4.32%)1,213,90023/02/20120.890.88...

Why Felda Global Ventures Is So Important To So Many

The investing community seems to regard Felda Global Ventures as another mega sized listing, and just happily trading the stock when it lists. It is a cash cow for sure, but its also about the equitable treatment of the settlers/stakeholders/peasants/farmers. There are news, theories and conspiracies. Read and try to discern and ask more probing questions, we all should arrive at our own conclusions. At least for now the injunction is  approved, thus halting the steamrolling listing. ------------From Business Times today:The highly anticipated drama at Koperasi Permodalan Felda Malaysia Bhd (KPF)’s headquarters here today fizzled out when...
