Dear Bikerlover,



I am glad, I am not alone now!

 

ok, i'll look into this stock

 

Dear Bikerlover,



It seems Popular like defensive stock in nature. So to make it popular is time consuming. However, this year I 'll make it popular, 2008 will be more popular and 2009 will be the most popular. (three years plan)!!!

 

hello hulumas. U said that u going to make this popular again.  I'm still waiting for this to happen.

hehe

 

i'm going to sell away some other stocks b4 going in to buy this popular.  Price looks attractive but can be lower

 

Dear Readers,



First stage buying 250 lots has been done. Continuing second stage buying another 250 lots within a month!!! Is there any body vested too?

 

Dear Readers,

Here I come and start buying at today price, I try my best to make it Popular. Well, set my own target to challenge myself!! The game begins for Popular, within this year, I 'll make it Popular, no joke!!

 

This stock is illiquid and not popular at all. I've run out of patience and cut losses yesterday. Good luck to you guys !

 

Revenue for 1H07 has risen by 5% to $191 million. Profit attributable to shareholders has reduced by 19% from $10 mln to $8mln.  However, profit would actually increase by 8% if the foreign exchange losses of $0.5mln in HK and capital gain of $2 mln from disposal of associate equity were excluded. 

The driver for growth will come from its retail business in M'sia and publishing arm in HK where it is a dominat player in primary textbook market.  It is expanding into the secondary school market. 

The co has an extensive network of 114 retail outlets in HK, M'sia and Spore. 

Interim dividend of 0.5 ct declared to be paid on 22-1-2007.

 

Volumes are yucky... invest only if you believe it has strong FA

 

Popular's 1H results (31/10/06) will be announced this Thurs, 14/12/06. Hoping for a much better set of results on the back of a strong economy. Dividends would be a nice bonus!

 

Yup, but u have to "TKK", this company is quite stingy on its dividend policy. However, u can take comfort on the following: NTA is now at 31.4cts (Meaning:How far can the stock go down??). It has a cash hoard of 44M and currently trading at 7 times PE, so downside of this stock is limited..don't have to worry too much..sometimes u can't just hope for the stock to go up immediately after you bought it..PATIENCE IS THE KEY TO THIS GAME. (Having said that, I lost alot of $$ by not being patient!sigh..)

 

Hi Bullbear,

A 5 cts dividend means a yield of 13.5% for me...dat would be great!

 

yep... on probable downtrend

 

Stress! looking downward leh!

 

Hi waterfalls, just to make u feel better, I'm holding this stock at a higher price and certainly much longer than you..Not that I like this stock, it is that I'm not good in cutting losses, especially the company still making profits year on year..and judging from the retail crowds of Popular, this company is still haveving a strong foothold in Singapore, better than their foreign peers..looking at the brighter side, hopefully they can make a handsome gains on their recent acquisition of some shophouses and declare a 5 cts dividends to cover your loss...ha..ha..

 

I got in at 0.37 a week ago and now am regretting it. I thought is has a strong support at this price. Yes, the laws of TA crumble when low mkt capitalisation/ low volume /penny stock.

What I m banking on now is the company will ride on the booming retail economy, the defensive nature of education industry and its expansion overseas. Being a cheap stock, the reward-risk potential great.

 

rogue_trader is right... low volume counter... TA people should avoid.
