Hua Yang Quaterly results
Remember my tea break for shares? This is my maiden post on share investment where I pick this company as one of the stocks in my portfolio.
A check on the Bursa Malaysia announcements, Hua Yang has announced their Q2 FY2012 results that are very impressive with Profit before tax(PBT) of RM18.89m for the current year Q2 ending 30th September, 2011 increased by more than 320% over the previous year corresponding Q2 figure of RM5.90m. The cumulative PBT year to date for current year increased by more than 269% over the previous year cumulative period of corresponding period. The net asset per share attributable to equity holders of the parent company stood at RM2.23 as at end of current quarter period as compared to preceding financial year end of RM2.05.
Hua Yang Q2FY2012 results announcement here from Bursa Malaysia website
They had earlier on 22 August 2011 announced a 7.5 % first and final dividend and duly paid on 28 September, 2011. On 13 October, 2011, the company announced a bonus issue of 1:3 and the entitlement date is on 28 October, 2011 and the ex-date is on 25 October, 2011.
I was impressed with their performance when I was looking for a good dividend paying shares to invest and bought and hold on until now hoping that it would reach my personal target price of RM2.00. However, due to the European zone crisis and the global downtrend, it has gone down below my entry point and now it is just closing at RM1.60 as at 19 October, 2011. Hopefully it will be there regardless of the bad news from Europe zone. It could have been easily achieved if not for the negative sentiments over the last two months. After the bonus issue, if the price goes up to probably RM2.00, to me, it will then be trading at its fair value. The volume of transactions in recent weeks are not like that of those of more established names in the properties such as the YTLLand, Malton, UEMLand, Dutaland and UOADev. The interest in the counter is picking up slowly after the announcement of the bonus issue.
According to its press release recently, the company is confident of reaching its sales target of RM350millions for FY2012. They have ongoing projects in Klang Valley, Ipoh and Johor to sustain them through to the FY2012. Hopefully it will boost investors confidence to stay invested in the company. It is covered by a number of research houses. Here is a link to RHB Research's report that is available on Hua Yang's website at Investor Relations.

Birth. Of Heirs or of Hairs?
On a recent trip down South in July 2011, while spending some time walking around Johor Baru City, a friend introduced us to BIRTH. The signage on the front door is unique and eye-catching. Step into the place and you will be greeted by the house hairstylists and directors who can help you to look good in your new image with some hair cuts, perms, styling, curls, blows and treatments. You can have your hair shampooed and washed clean while you relax with some cool music in the background or chat with the hairstylist as they give you some light massage to relax your tired mind and body muscles especially around your scalp, neck and shoulders.
The price for the service is reasonable and according to your preferences as to who to attend to you. It so happened the two hairstylists attending to us were from Ipoh and Penang. From their feed-backs, it seemed that business here is good and the earnings and rewards are higher as compared to the same work done up in the North. Many of their customers are regulars and some came from Singapore just across the causeway. The currency exchange is certainly a plus point for the Singaporeans to pamper themselves with excellence hair care and services beside shopping and eating good sumptuous foods at Johor Baru especially during the weekends and public holidays since it is comparatively cheaper in Malaysia for the same kind of services than in Singapore.
The design of the signage was by the proprietor of the shop who is also a fashion and interior designer.There are many interesting items on display and decorations inside the shop. Unfortunately, taking pictures inside the shop is not allowed. So you can drop by for a hair treatment of hair cut to check it out when you are in Johor Baru. The shop is along Jalan Tan Hiok Nee and is on the opposite side of row of shop-houses near the oldest Chinese bakery shop famous for their traditional charcoal oven baked banana cake.
You can pick up and purchase some branded and designers' lady dresses and accessories which are used but as good as new quality, and are imported from Japan and elsewhere. Bargain a bit and the lady will be generous to give you a good deal.
Surely in lesser than nine months...or approximately 30 to 90 minutes as you step into and out of the saloon "hospital" , you are a new birth with a new identity looking fantastic in your new hairdo and looking smart putting on your new dress and accessories. Simply transformed your crown of glory from gray to black, blonde or colored unless you have no hairs! No worry, you still can have the dressing transformation. You will never be the same.
Go experience your Birth at this place for you do not need the Caesarean section from the Gynaecologist or a cut from the Surgeon to be looking young, sensational, premature and babe look.

Tea Break for Shares
I have not been sharing lately as I was doing some of my personal projects on D-I-Y or sabbatical from my usual work during the past weeks. You do visit my blog as I do hope to write and share on my D-I-Y once I get around things. It will be my first attempt on a D-I-Y write up and sharing.
It has been quite a while that I do not know what to share but I like to invest in shares. Invest in shares can help us to make more money and make your money work hard for you while you sleep and rest. It could also be the opposite it you invested in shares and lost some money. There will be excitements when you see your portfolio increases in values. However, you can have sleepless nights and worries when your portfolio of share prices drop suddenly due to some events like announcement of coming General Election and Polling Date and negative news happening locally or globally beyond your control like the Financial Crisis in 2008, the Earthquake and Tsunami in March 2011 at Japan and the recent European zone Sovereign Debts Crisis. It is certainly not for everyone.
You either love it or hate it. Your heartbeats and blood pressure readings determine your health condition as it follow the ups and downs of the stock exchanges indexes like the Japanese Nikkei, Hongkong Hang Seng, Singapore Stock Exhange, Bursa Malaysia KLCI or the US Dow Jones indexes.
There are many mistakes in share investments being made by many new traders or investors due to lack of knowledge and of make poor decisions based on tips from friends or relatives and rumors heard in the coffee shops rather than based on some fundamental analysis, technical analysis and own research or fact findings on the counters or companies listed on the stock exchanges (KLSE) or (NYSE) to invest in. It were hard and bitter lessons learned along the way.
I have become more careful and better informed as I read and study some books on financial planning, unit-trusts, insurance and investment links and share investments to educate and to equip myself, make searches for information from business bulletins, internet, television reports, Bursa Malaysia (KLSE) and news or get connected with my remisiers for advice and consultations. I also subscribed to the stockbroking houses reports.
Well, it certainly helped me to make better informed investment decisions and to be in better mental state of mind in turbulent markets. There is no guarantee that I can make the right picks and make gains each time. It improved my portfolio selection skill and get better opportunity of making return on investments. At least, I am prepared if I make losses and know how to minimize the portfolio risks.
I came across some of these blogs dedicated to financial investments in stocks and shares that are very interesting and informative which I like and you may like to visit too.
They are :-
Malaysia-Finance Blogspot (here). The Bonuses are you get to introduced to beautiful ladies, splendid pictures and get good tips on foods and musics too.
Nexttrade (here) Good professional advice, insights on the market outlook, stocks with charts and the technical analysis reports.
Politemarket Blogspot (here) Lively and Interesting but is Taking A Break. Look forward to the next post and meantime enjoying the older posts.
I am sure you will return to their blogs for more and share it with your friends too.
Note: I was introduced to share trading and being offered ESOS (Employee Share Option Scheme) when I was in my first banking job in the early 1980s and when my employer was embarking on a one-stop financial center concept for the ease of doing business in a little town up North where there was no stockbroking firm present there then.. The trading was very much different from today as we used manual records, registers and making telephone calls to the appointed dealer to place our orders. The daily newspapers pages on stocks summary which I used to skipped reading suddenly became the all important MUST READ pages from Mondays to Saturdays. Now, with the advancement of technology and electronics gadgets, we can go online and trade online live from anywhere (even when you are in the business of doing private business in toilet just like the advertisement of MYEG with its appealing beauties in red skirts, of getting your road tax delivered to you at your toilet doorstep) as long as you have access to the internet and your trading account.
By the way, here is a little diversion about MYEG. Its service is really useful to me when my clients are from outstations and when they did not have the car registration card with them if they did not bother to collect it from the bank for safe-keeping under the hire-purchase loan. I can issue the automobile/motorcar insurance policy online at my Insurance principal's Agency Portal and renew the road tax for my client by logging into MYEG's portal and pay the road tax fee and delivery charges via credit card or online bank fund transfer. The road tax is then delivered by MYEG directly to my client at their preferred address (Home or Office) within 48 hours. MYEG is also listed on the Bursa Malaysia.
