Stronger ringgit boosts Bursa

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:52:15 +0000

Nice to see Bursa broke through 1,300 while I was away from the country.Since I’m kind of tired after traveling whole day and just landed, I will get straight to the point. Where are we heading? I think it should go to RM $ 3.10 to 1 USD. KLCI should be heading to 1,450. 1H 2010 or 2H 2010? Not sure on the timing, will need to think over the weekend…….

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 06:41:01 +0000

I have decided to extend the list:Abdul Halim bin Harun - UMWDato’ Abdul Halim bin Harun was appointed to the Board of Directors of UMW Holdings Berhad on 15 October 1990, before becoming the current Group Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer on 5 April 2001.

Common Denominators Of Under Performing CEOs

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:18:38 +0000

TY for your comments and views. I would like to post it up as well, but a couple of my lawyer friends have advised me against it. This is still a visible blog with a lot of readers. Its probably the most read English financial blog in the country, and the legal repercussions are enormous. Notice how litigious Malaysians are nowadays, people suing each other left right and center. I do not have the……

Worst CEOs List

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:33:37 +0000

I think some CEOs who may be following my blog, may have a sense of fear when they read the headline. I have my list of worst CEOs of Malaysian listed firms. One reader has posted that it would be interesting if I compiled such a list. While that may be fun, its a no win situation for me. I immediately make lifelong enemies. I also rule out any chance ever of being their right hand man and/or bein……

Great Malaysian CEOs Part 2

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 16:48:00 +0000

Well, I got a lot of feedback on the CEO issue following my mentioning of Nazir Razak. There have been naysayers who reminded me that the family name and connections played a significant part. I have to say that there are plenty of people who got to the top with just connections and by having the right family name - but the crux is what do you with it. I have extended the list, its not just GLCs C……

Need A Few More Great CEOs For GLCs

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 05:44:00 +0000

What’s the difference between a good CEO and a great one? In Malaysia there are not many great CEOs for sure. Many of our top companies are still family controlled companies, and generally its very rare to get family members that are also great CEOs. Family owned enterprises are usually started by a great entrepreneur but as you mushroom into a listed company, many have problems in letting go. An……

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 01:22:46 +0000

Everyone loves to talk about what works in investing.Investing based on low price earnings (PE) multiples and investing based on dividend yields.For some, this is the holy grail in investing. You cannot say anything negative about such strategies.Ask me, I know. I was asked for my opinion twice recently. I posted Investing In A Stock For Its Dividend Yields and Some Opinions.
