40 minutes left. Will not cut loss. Sian....have to pay up. Hoping for a better tomorrow. Actually never play this counter before, but saw it quite attractive and went in. 1st time and kena. Never again!

Something is against me, everytime I see a counter down, I dont buy, it went up, and kept repeating for a few times. So when it went down again, I went in and it never go up again! Jinx.

Maybe guys here can play the opposite of me!

In times like this... one of the safer investment is to BUY BLUE CHIPS, KEEP WARM WARM and Switch off the PC and forget about shares...!! =) Haha...

Hope you dont catch a falling knife.. its painful.. cos cheap will become cheaper.. better to throw before FED cut rate cos after 18 March , i think its going to free fall again.. US not doing well.. might be in a recession now..

Can any experts advice on this? I bought at $1.00. I know palm oil prices down. But the fundamental? Should I keep it or cut loss?

Thanks.

Read the wilmar post. I think it should be the same reason - palm oil prices coming down. I'm still holding on to this when I got it at 0.82. thinking of letting go now as counter looks bearish. Sigh.....

Golden Agri-Resources has burgeoned into an $11b plantation play, thanks to record palm oil prices. Yet, just 7 years ago, it was a $200m company saddled with crippling US$ debt and forced to restructure.

GAR is much stronger today, says its CEO Franky Widjaja, whose family's Sinar Mas Group controls the firm.

To recap, in Apr 2001, GAR said that it stood to lose US$261m of deposits - over a third of its net assets at the time - placed with Bank Internasional Indonesia and its sister bank. The rupiah devaluation of the 1997 financial crisis forced many Indonesian firms into bankruptcy, as their US dollar-denominated liabilities multiplied, while rupiah-denominated assets dwindled. Sinar Mas was no exception, but it held out for a few years.

By 2001, crude palm oil prices had fallen from US$600 a tonne to as low as US$180 per tonne. GAR, with debts of US$400-500m, asked debtors to reschedule, buying itself time, says Nicky Tan, who was hired to help the company restructure in early 2006. As palm oil prices rose - back to US$600 per tonne, and then beyond to today's record US$1,200 - GAR generated enough cashflow to pay its liabilities, and then some.

Moody's gave it a rating of Ba3 (just below investment grade) as of Sep 2006, and upped this nearly a year later to Aa3 - the highest in Indonesia at the time.

Golden Agri posts US$1.16b profit for 2007


 

By MATTHEW PHAN



 

GOLDEN Agri Resources, the world's second-largest planter of palm oil by area, has reported a 147.5 per cent rise in net profit to US$1.16 billion for the year ended Dec 31, 2007, thanks largely to a fair value gain in its plantation assets of more than US$800 million.

 


Excluding the gain, core earnings came in at a more modest US$353 million, though this was still more than three times the US$98 million earned in FY2006.

Revenue grew 65.8 per cent to US$1.87 billion, helped by record crude palm oil prices.

International selling prices in 2007 averaged US$775 a tonne, some 63 per cent higher than in 2006, when the average selling price was US$475 per tonne, according to Golden Agri.

'It's a golden era for Golden Agri,' said Franky Oesman Widjaja, its chairman and chief executive. 'Every day is a new record (in palm oil prices).'

Food-related demand from China and India is increasing about 20 per cent a year, he said. Shortage of supplies is exacerbated by the transfer of soya and rapeseed oil to biofuel production, helped by heavy subsidies.

The group projects 2008 capital expenditure of between US$350 million and US$500 million, depending on whether it can complete certain acquisitions, Mr Widjaja said. Earnings per share were US$0.24 for FY2007.
