JAKS - THE NEW MIRACLE STOCK

Jaks seems to be the flavour of the month as its meteoric rise from the 70s to 1.00 was fast and aggressive, but perhaps too aggressive?

This company is not without its problems. Its has a litigation case where it has lost 50 million ringgit to the Star but now appealing. Surprisingly it has not been provided for in its books. That's just a time bomb waiting to happen. They are also stuck with a dead mall in Ara Damansara which will be constantly eating into their profits. The property division is also losing money to the tune of 34 million!

So where is the earnings coming from? It is due from the JV to build the power plant, a recognition work in progress from construction. An accounting procedure.

Take note that there is a cashflow deficit of 57 million in his latest books. I believe there could be a possible cash crunch in the near future.

Better times to come? Remained to be seen......

INTA BINA - ROCK BOTTOM GEM

The lack of catalyst in the construction Industry has resulted in the sell down of construction stocks which has hit rock bottom bringing about attractive valuations. The main catalyst the revival of Bandar Malaysia has failed to materialized so far with no news of an extension or a cancellation. The announcement of the revival in April 2019 has brought temporary euphoria to the construction sector as the mammoth project is expected to produce economic multiplier effect to the industry and indirectly the overall economy. It has exceeded the 3 months deadline for the payment of the remainder sum and signing of an actual agreement. We wait patiently for the further development from the Ministry of Finance.   In the meantime, there is value to be found in certain construction stocks. One of them is Inta Bina Group Bhd.   Inta Bina Group Bhd is a construction company  on the main board . It builds various types of buildings including residential, commercial, industrial and leisure

EKOVEST - DAYS ARE GETTING LONGER

E kovest has rebounded from a low of 73 cents to 81 cents since the budget announcement that the mammoth Bandar Malaysia project is to carry on. But one wonders why Ekovest has not move up with the official announcement. Surely it provides a strong clue that Ekovest would be a beneficiary, and provide tremendous opportunities for this construction company. Maybe the investors are not confident of our current government flip flop techniques. But look at this article on April 22 2019; KUALA LUMPUR: Iskandar Waterfront City Bhd and Ekovest Bhd, which are controlled by Tan Sri Lim Kang Hoo, have issued separate statements to Bursa Malaysia clarifying they are not involved in the revived Bandar Malaysia project.

WHICH IS WORST...CORRUPTION OR INCOMPETENCE

Its coming to 2 years PH has come into power, businessmen and analysts are wondering what the future remaining 3 years has in stall for the future economy. Right now, the government seems to be dragging its feet in rejuvenating the economy after the elections. Some of the Ministers are still basking on their own glory and patting themselves on their backs on winning the elections. Some are even not attending meetings and hanging around the administration. In the corporate world, persons such as those would have been fired as soon as possible. Is our leader weak? Surely such action would make the other Ministers to wake up and perform? Right now, the catalysts to drive the economy is poor and weak. This is evident by the foreign funds leaving and the poor ringgit. The promise of a stronger fiscal policy remained subdue as major projects are continuously delayed and extended. The budget promised some socialistic aspects but I believe that this would be curtailed by the surge in inflati
