At the most, I keep an eye on YTL Power and Tenaga from time to time. But I'm not too keen on these stocks as they both have heavy debt burdens. Tenaga also has huge foreign currency exposure which makes its earnings very hard to track. Hi James, I don’t really follow the metal and energy stocks.

I know and hear quite a lot about buying the metal and energy stocks. Larry, could you suggest some for me to keep for long-term? Many thanks Larry Hello Larry,

I haven't been able to write much for now, however the Investor database is still updated periodically. Hoping to make this website more alive and happening later this year. Just need to clear some work projects and find some people to help me :) Hi Lok, thanks for dropping by.

Sorry but I'm no expert on TA at all, tried using it about 9-10 years back and lost money. I resolved then not to continue with it, and since then Fundamental Analysis has worked pretty well for me. Short term trends in the market are highly unpredictable and depending on your strategy, you can make it to be irrelevant. For example if you listened to some notable banking analysts last year, some of them were saying sell on stocks like AMMB at levels of less than RM3.00. In hindsight they might have been right in the short term because AMMB did drop way below RM3. But today, just a year on it's cracked RM5. Even if you held it and took a paper loss in the short term, you'd still be looking pretty good today. The lesson I've learnt is that if earnings, cash and dividends keep going up, then the share price will nearly always be higher in the long term! Hi Danny, Thanks! Glad it’s useful for you.

I'm new to investing and would appreciate your views on Technical Analysis since majority information that I found on your website points to a very fundamental opinion. Cheers!

The RPGT shouldn't have too much effect on REITs for now. Most of them are not selling their properties and are still in acquisition mode. As we saw, REIT unit prices have shrugged off the announcement. Hi HY, thanks for your feedback.

What do you think the effect of the fixed 5% real property gains tax (RPGT) that will be reintroduced next year under Budget 2010 on REITs? Hi Larry, enjoy reading your REITs posts.

From time to time, I'd drop into ZeMoola & Salvator's blogs. ZeMoola specializes in exposing baddie companies, while Salvator has a lot of knowledge and insight in investment. Here's the link: <a href="http://whereiszemoola.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://whereiszemoola.blogspot.com/</a> <a href="http://malaysiafinance.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://malaysiafinance.blogspot.com/</a> Checked out InvestmentPostcards but it took ages to load... seems there are lots of articles which were very bearish. I also like The Motly Fool for US markets.
