EITA : the next GEM to shine!

A rebound in global stocks gained traction amid speculation losses that triggered a bear market were excessive. China’s yuan jumped by the most since a dollar peg was scrapped in 2005, while the yen retreated with gold as haven assets fell out of favour. Shares have become oversold again and due for at least a bounce, which may now be getting under way.

Is lift and bus duct manufacturer EITA Resources Bhd (EITA) climbing on the bandwagon to diversifying its earnings base amid concerns that the country’s economy will remain sluggish this year? 

So, what are the potential catalysts for EITA?

 growth driver and future plan by EITA:

- Product expansion:
Sigriner Automation (Mfg) Sdn Bhd (“Sigriner”), was set up in mid-2015 to produce Elevator Control systems for both the local and overseas markets. It is now in the midst of setting up its production facility.
Furutec Electrical Sdn Bhd (“Furutec Electrical”) has successfully expanded its portfolio of busduct offerings, namely, Aluminum Housing Busduct system and Cast Resin Busduct system with increasing new sales for these products.
Under EITA Power System with its PYROTEC® brand of Fire-Resistant Cable, they are in the midst of developing a new range of Flame Retardant Cable. 

- Manufacturing expansion:

EITA-Schneider (MFG) Sdn Bhd (“EITA-Schneider”) has relocated to Shah Alam to expand its manufacturing capacity and to consolidate its warehouse operations in order to cater to increased business activities, such as, the MRT project. Eventually, the Bukit Raja site will house the elevator new manufacturing facility, warehouse and Test Tower. It is targeted for completion in 2017. Furutec Electrical successfully implemented automation. ( no need to worry about Labour cost). It is now able to offer Aluminum Housing Busduct Systems and Cast Resin Busduct Systems and has already successfully secured projects for these new products. These new busduct systems will bode well for Furutec as it seeks to expand overseas.

- M&A strategics :
its group managing director and executive director Fu Wing Hoong said the group is scouting
for expansion opportunities in the electrical and electronics components section which comes
under its marketing and distribution division. It is a market that EITA is interested to enter. " We hope to gain market share in the E&E sector through an acquisition." the CEO said. As for current, EITA's cash stood at RM 29.5 million. Mr Fu also mentioned that his proposed acquisition of Transsystem Continental Sdn Bhd (TCSB) , which would give it access to the power distribution segment of the can industry. By then, EITA will turn into full fledged high voltage market player in the industry.  ( on Nov 25, 2015, EITA had entered into an agreement to purchase 120,000 shares of TCSB) 

* there is no doubt that this will boost its subsequent earning in coming quarters! 

As for current financial year 2016, EITA will be busy with its Mass Rapid Transit (MRT). In 2015, EITA clinched a RM 79 million contract to supply lives and escalators for all the station of sungai Buloh-Kajang line of MRT. Once the contracts end, its acquisition of TCSB will definitely contribute to its top line and cushion effects from any downturn in the market! 

EITA is going to announce its financial result soon within February 2016. Will its EPS shoot up ? Let's wait and see! 

FIAMMA: the Double edged Sword

Fear and then relief gripped the markets this week, testing investors’ nerves. The problems were not particularly new -- concerns about a China-led global slowdown, collapsing oil prices and the end of Federal Reserve support had been rattling traders for months, leading to a plunge in equities back in August. The same issues reached a crescendo again by Wednesday before a rebound on central-bank optimism. ( This showed the turbulence of Human's emotion as well)


The slower pace of growth in China’s economy puts into question the outlook for demand from the world’s biggest consumer of commodities. A supply glut that torpedoed the price of oil made things worse, wreaking havoc on markets and especially the metals, mining and energy industries. Volatility also jumped, a sign market jitters were entrenched across the board among all asset classes. A relief rally eased concerns later in the week. Things started looking better by Thursday, when European Central Bank President Mario Draghi floated the prospect of more economic stimulus as early as March. 


So, what are your strategics for current turbulence market? 
1. wait and keep your bullets? ( bottom fishing?)
2. nibble bit by bit the stocks with good potential growth?
3. play safe by investing in high dividend stock/ Defensive stocks?

Well, it is a difficult decision to make. But, YOU MUST make a decision! 

Let's discuss about FIAMMA:

This Group has 3 reportable segments, which are the Group’s strategic business units. The strategic business units offer different products and services, and are managed based on the Group’s management and internal reporting structure. The following summary describes the operations in each of the Groups’ reportable segments:

1. Investment holding and property investment (1%)
2. Property development (9%)
3. Trading and services ( 90 % of  company's revenue) 

The Group recorded a lower revenue of RM333.488 million for the current financial year compared to RM338.161 million achieved in the preceding financial year. This is mainly due to lower contribution from the property development segment. (8.6% of net revenue). The Group recorded a higher profit before taxation (“PBT”) of RM75.415 million for the current financial year compared to RM63.182 million achieved in the preceding financial year. The PBT of RM75.415 million comprise RM50.577 million arising from operations and RM24.838 million from increase in fair value of investment properties.

The Group’s revenue is derived primarily from the trading and services segment which contributed 90.7% of the Group’s net revenue. The segment recorded a net revenue of RM302.542 million as compared to RM274.440 million recorded in the preceding financial year, representing a growth of 10.2%. Consequently, this segment recorded a higher PBT of RM44.770 million against PBT of RM41.436 million for the preceding financial year, representing an increase of 8.0%. The current financial year’s PBT from this segment represented 59.4% of the Group’s PBT.

Do take note that there is a recent JUMP in its EPS for its investment holding segment. The investment holding and property investment segment contributed 0.7% of the Group’s net revenue. This segment recorded a higher PBT of RM27.567 million against PBT of RM2.019 million for the preceding financial year, representing an increase of 1265.4%. Included in the PBT of RM27.567 million is an amount of RM24.838 million arising from the increase in fair value of investment properties located in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman. The current financial year’s PBT from this segment represented 36.5% of the Group’s PBT.


Looking forwards: ( is there any potential growth for this company?) 

1. The relocation and centralisation of the existing warehouse in Bandar Manjalara to a new and larger capacity warehouse in Bukit Raja Industrial Hub, Klang (Phase 1) has been completed in October 2015. This is expected to improve operation efficiency as it will cater to all the Group’s logistic operations under one roof. In addition, the new warehouse is expected to provide additional income stream from the provision of storage space and logistic services to third party customers. ( How much will this new warehouse contribute to the subsequent financial quarter? ) 

2. More contribution from property segment despite the property market slowdown?

The proposed redevelopment of the existing warehouse land in Bandar Manjalara, Kuala Lumpur into commercial properties targeted in early 2016 will contribute to the Group’s revenue and profit in the coming financial years. The proposed new commercial development in Jalan Yap Kwan Seng and the proposed new mixed development in Jalan Sungai Besi, both in Kuala Lumpur are expected to contribute to the Group’s future income stream once the proposed developments are launched and sold. 

 

What makes this STOCK defensive ?
1. Dividend play: Pending 7.5 cents dividend in Feb/ March awaiting AGM approval in Feb 2016.
2. Share split and bonus issue play: Most likely will be materialise in ? March 2016. 

(i)         proposed share split involving the subdivision of every one (1) existing ordinary share of RM1.00 each in Fiamma (“Fiamma Share(s)” or “Share(s)”) into two (2) ordinary shares of RM0.50 each in Fiamma (“Subdivided Share(s)”) held on a split entitlement date to be determined and announced later (“SplitEntitlement Date”) (“Proposed Share Split”);

(ii)        proposed bonus issue of up to 177,555,700 new Subdivided Shares (“Bonus Share(s)”) to be fully credited as fully paid-up, on the basis of one (1) Bonus Share for every two (2) Subdivided Shares held on a bonus entitlement date to be determined and announced later (“Bonus Entitlement Date”) (“Proposed Bonus Issue”);

KESM: riding on Rumour of Bonus issue and Share split? > 10 % gain in a week

KESM optimistic as auto industry gears up for driverless cars

BY CHEN SHAUA FUI
KUALA LUMPUR: KESM Indus- tries Bhd, which saw its net profit in the first quarter ended Oct 31, 2015 (1QFY16) almost tripling to RM8.07 million, expects the global automotive industry’s move to- wards increasing electronic con- tent in vehicles to drive its perfor- mance going forward, especially as the industry readies itself for the much vaunted driverless cars.
As such, it is positive on its financial performance in FY16, for which it has earmarked RM82 million — the same quantum as the year before — to expand the capacity of its integrated cir- cuits test segment to meet the requirements of its clients from the automotive semiconductor manufacturing industry.
KESM executive director Ken- neth Tan told reporters after the group’s annual general meeting yesterday that many carmakers have laid out their roadmaps to get their respective driverless car on the road in 10 to 15 years, and that KESM can leverage on that trend to grow its business further.
Tan expects the electrical con- tent in a driverless car 15 years from now will be double that of today’s conventional car.
However, he declined to give any forecast for the company’s financial performance in FY16, though he indicated that the group’s 1QFY16, “which turned in very decently” could serve as a guidance of sorts.
KESM provides specialised

electronic manufacturing activ- ities, primarily the provision of burn-in services — the process of stressing semiconductors to weed out potentially weak cir- cuits — with a focus on the au- tomotive market.
In 1QFY16, KESM’s net profit jumped 192.4% to RM8.07 million from RM2.76 million in 1QFY15, largely due to the reduction of expenses and a foreign curren- cy translation of RM4.44 million. Revenue rose slightly to RM70.18 million from RM69.16 million.
Meanwhile, Tan said the ca- pacity expansion the group is looking at this year will mainly come from the test area.
“There are test requirements that need us to continue investing in testing, in order to support our customer’s requirements. These are all customer-driven capacity requirements,” said Tan.
Meanwhile, KESM’s average capacity utilisation at its three factories — two in Malaysia and one in Tian Jin, China — is now about 80%. The Chinese market accounted for 22.33% of its total revenue in FY15, while the re- mainder came from Malaysia.
Tan said the group is open to any possibility of overseas ex- pansion, provided that there was demand from its customers such as those in China.
KESM dipped 10 sen or 1.72% to close at RM5.70 yesterday, val- uing it at RM249.50 million. Its share price has risen about 2.4 times from a year ago, when it was trading at RM2.34.

* What do you think of KESM? despite the market retreat, it goes against the wave to reach almost 10% gain compare to last week*

What Business is KESM in?

KESM PROFILE

KESMI is associated with the Sunright group of companies, which is incorporated in Singapore. The KESMI Group comprises KESM Industries Berhad (KESM), KESM Test (M) Sdn Bhd (KTM) and KESP Sdn. Bhd.(KESP).

KESM and KTM is strategically located in one of the prime industrial hub in the Sg Way Free Industrial Zone in Petaling Jaya and KESP is located in Penang.
KESM has been engaged in specialized electronic manufacturing activities since 1978. KESM's primary objective is in specialized electronic manufacturing activities and serves as sub-contractor to electronic multi-national corporations. In particular, it is in the business of providing "burn-in" services to the semiconductor industry. KESM has experienced steady growth in business and was successful in becoming a public listed company in 1994.
In working closely with world class semiconductor manufacturers, KESMI has successfully introduced programs jointly with customers to support their operations. These programs involved extensive training to raise awareness, improve skills and intensify participation, so as to meet steadily rising requirements on quality and delivery. As a result of our achievements, it has given the company great satisfaction in receiving many business dealings and is poised for greater growth.

KESM ACTIVITIES Our Activities KESM is principally involved in specialized electronic manufacturing activities. More specifically, the company is engaged in providing burn-in services. The company has business dealings with virtually all the American semiconductor manufacturers. Our Services Semiconductor burn-in services Electrical testing of semiconductor IC Tape and reel assembly Burn-in The production of semiconductor devices is ever increasing and creates a continuous flow of demand for burn-in. An integrated circuit may be defective at the time it is produced or it may have a latent defect which permits it to operate according to specifications for a period of time but eventually causes it to fail. Burn-in is a process of stressing semiconductors to weed out potentially weak circuits. The technique involves subjecting a device to heat and voltage stress for several hours or days and exercising it through the limits of its electrical performance. The only effective method of assuring high reliability of semiconductor is to perform burn-in. As the demand for telecommunications, computers and consumer electronics increases, the wide range of assemblies become ever increasing. Electrical Testing Testing service is provided by KESM Test (M) Sdn Bhd

So, how does KESM make money in year 2016? 
What is the growth propeller? 

• Reduce human workforce due to more automation ( please refer to its latest annual report 2015)
• forex gain from Stronger USD
• increase demand for its service especially the testing of semiconductor chip! 

" The testing of semiconductor chip is our growth engine. " 

 This is the exact sentence used by the company in its latest Annual report! 

Expanding Test Services
The testing of semiconductor chip is our growth engine. The bulk of our expansion is testing devices for the automotive market. We are optimistic of a steady growth because the number of chips used in a car is increasing and even the mid-range cars are incorporating more chip contents in their car design. The number of cars is expected to grow too.
In making cars smarter and safer, new features are added into the "microcontrollers" which are widely used for integration. A single "microcontroller" combines the functions of a processor, memory and other peripherals. These chips are found in the engine control systems, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems “ADAS” applications, and also widely used in infotainment systems. The demand for "microcontroller" is increasing and this device is of relatively high value. Testing of microcontrollers for cars is one of our target markets for 2016.
With the expanding Internet of Things “IoT”, "microcontrollers" have become an even higher- volume component of the semiconductor market. These chips are used in digital cameras, mobile and wearable devices which are in high demand.
02 KESM INDUSTRIES BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2015

   

Strengthening Burn-in Services
Our business is about quality. The extension of test after burn-in offers our customers tremendous “value-add”. Increasing demands for intelligent cars are attracting emerging technologies. To ensure absolute reliability of the chips, the process of burn-in or stressing of chips at elevated temperature is not good enough. Automotive makers are looking at ways to test during burn-in "TDBI". "TDBI" performs tests using high temperature and critical testing patterns to accelerate the defective failures of integrated circuits. This improves quality. A new generation of chips with higher quality expectation would drive the demand for "TDBI" processing. This is a costly investment requiring very high degree of process control.
For the last 4 years, we embarked on a program to develop proprietary process tools beyond the tracking of devices flowing through our manufacturing floor. Last year, we completed the final phase of our development, providing a fully integrated flow which monitors and controls the “TDBI” process. Our system identifies how, when and where devices or equipment may fail before, during or after the burn-in and test process. This combined proprietary process offers assurance and confidence to our customers for “TDBI” processing. 

What are others factors that will propel the price higher?

This stocks are invested by Mr Koon Yew Yin, Ooi Teik Bee Technical analysis wise: it is breaking new high with huge volume today!

Will KESM continue its uptrend? Let's wait and see.

Let's take a look at its earning! 

You can see that the earning in last 2 quarters shooting up nicely! 

PS: I am not asking you to buy. If you buy, you are doing it at your own risk.

Tguan- The Next Shooting Star.

TGUAN.

It is another stock that will benefit from strengthening of USD! Why is the strengthening of USD is so much of hot topic nowadays? Needless to say, the impending interest hike by FED definitely will cause the further raise and strengthening of USD. Same go to the further slumping of Crude Oil Price due to OPEC's decision not to slow down its petroleum production! The technique is ... buy when everyone is fearful!

Next Question is how is the future growth of this company?

(let's take a look at the fact! )Taken from the latest quarter result:

Industry Trends & Development
The Ringgit’s depreciation had definitely improved the industry’s export competitiveness. Lower oil prices since October 2014 has allowed the industry to enjoy a period of lower material cost, low energy and production costs, which in turn, will boost gross margin for plastic products. Low oil price will also encourage consumer spending worldwide and cause product demand to increase. However, as average selling price is expected to drop in tandem with low material cost coupled with the down gauging trend, the Group has stressed on the need to secure more orders in order to meet internal revenue target in absolute term.

The manufacturing sector grew at a higher rate of 6.2% (2013: 3.5%), attributable to stronger performance of the export-oriented industries and expansion in the domestic-oriented industries. The total turnover of the Malaysian Plastic industry increased by 7.97% to RM 19.37 billion in 2014 (2013: RM 17.94 billion). Export of plastic products increased by 11.5% in 2014 to RM11.94 billion from RM10.71 billion in 2013 representing 62% of total turnover. Total export of plastic bags increased by 8.1% to RM3.99 billion while total export of plastic films and sheets increased by 17.7% to RM4.58 billion. Total export of plastic packaging materials increased in tandem with the recovery of the economies in Europe and USA. 

Prospects
In 2014, the Group completed its first phase of capital investment into high technology with the successful installation of the unique thin stretch film machines with in-line pre-stretching capability and edge folding. The machine will enable the production of down-gauged thin film which will reduce the usage of plastic materials and in turn are cost effective without compromising on film properties and strength. The 2 additional new machines to produce PVC food wrap have increased production capacity to 720 metric tons monthly and the Group expects significant contributions from these lines in 2015. The Group’s capital investment plan continues in 2015 with the installation of the 33-layer nano-technology stretch film line and a state of the art blown film line as well as additional PVC and other machines.

In line with its vision to be the leader in technological advancements in Asia Pacific and the aspiration of the nation to be a developed economy by 2020, the Group has set up a research and development centre, the first of its kind in Asia Pacific to accelerate product development and innovation. The R&D centre, expected to be fully operational by end 2015 will contribute to bring up the group’s products to a higher value proposition by ensuring “right gaughing” for its films to optimise resource utilisation resulting in cost savings for its customers and at the same time guaranteeing load stability and safety. It is also part of the Group’s corporate social responsibility initiatives to support the authorities in coming up with standards for road safety. Key focus of the R&D centre includes development of cargo load stability and safety solutions, research and innovation into plastic films composition and mechanical properties improvement, developments of safety standards to support the national plans for road safety and logistics, educational and training initiatives and a platform for researchers and industry to share and roll out ideas for the betterment of society.

The Group believes that these investments will help to differentiate its products and services to its target customers and move it further up the value chain to achieve better profit margin and in time, contribute positively to its growth and profitability.

T. Harv Eker 8 principles of Speed Wealth!

About T. Harv Eker

Using the principles he teaches, T. Harv Eker went from zero to millionaire in only 2 1/2 years! He combines a unique brand of ‘street-smarts with heart’.

Eker’s high-energy, ‘cut-to-the-chase’ style keeps his audience spellbound. T. Harv Eker’s motto is "talk is cheap" and his unique ability is getting people to take "action" in the real world to produce real success.

Eker is the author of the best-selling books, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind and SpeedWealth. He has also developed several highly-acclaimed courses such as The Millionaire Mind Intensive, Life Directions, Wizard Training and Train the Trainer. He is also the producer and trainer of the world-famous Enlightened Warrior Training.

T. Harv Eker is the son of European immigrants who came to North America with only thirty dollars to their name. He grew up in Toronto, but spent most of his adult years in the United States.

Money was scarce throughout his childhood, so at thirteen, Eker began his work career. As a teen he delivered newspapers, scooped ice cream, sold novelties at fairs, and suntan lotions at the beach. After a year at York University, he decided to take time off to pursue his dream of becoming a millionaire.

During his early adult years, he lived in five different cities, including Lake Tahoe and Ft. Lauderdale. He had a variety of jobs and started more than a dozen different businesses, but regardless of what he did, or how hard he worked, he just couldn’t achieve success.

Finally after many years of frustration, Eker hit the jackpot. He opened one of the first retail fitness stores in North America and grew the business to ten stores in only two and a half years. He then sold part of the company to a Fortune 500 corporation.

With the sale, Eker reached his dream. He was finally a millionaire; however, in less than two years, the money was gone. Through a combination of poor investments and unchecked spending, Eker was back at his original net worth … again.

It was at that point that Eker began developing his theories about people’s mental and emotional relationship to money. He realized that his "inner-money thermostat" was set for a specific amount of financial success, and that everyone else had a financial set point too. His most profound discovery was that this money blueprint could be changed. Using the principles and practices found in his book, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, Eker reset his own blueprint to not only create success, but to keep it and grow it, and become a multi-millionaire.

During his years of struggle, Eker vowed that should he ever get rich, he would help others do the same. He has kept his promise. He has already touched the lives of over 1.5 million people, helping them move closer to their goal of true financial freedom.

The 8 Principles of SpeedWealth:

1. Develop a Speedwealth mindset
2. Deliver massive value
3. Timing: Choosing the right business at Right Time
4. Systemize
5. Duplicate
6. Leverage
7. Cashing out
8. Do it Now!

1. Develop a SpeedWealth Mindset

It’s important to understand that success is a learnable skill. You can always be more, have more and do more because you can always learn more.

2. Deliver Massive Value

T. Harv Eker defines money as a convenient symbol that represents and measures the value of goods and services exchanged between people. He describes the “Law of Income”, which is: You will be paid in direct proportion to the value you deliver according to the marketplace.

If you don’t deliver a lot, you don’t get paid a lot. Simple.

3. Timing: Choose the Right Business at the Right Time

Timing is everything in business. Choosing the right vehicle at the right time is a rarely and highly profitable skill that can be learned. You have to learn how to gauge and time the market – you have to know when to get in and when to get out.

It’s also important to make sure that you model success, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.

4. Systemize

This is an important concept for every business, which is also talked about extensively in Michael Gerber’s book, The E-Myth. In SpeedWealth, Harv talks about how a business system is a repeatable process that produces a profit. The key philosophy in SpeedWealth and also in The E-Myth is to work ON the business, not IN the business.

The system is what gives you freedom. And once you’ve developed the system, and it works, you keep doing it again and again. Once you’ve systemized your business and it produces a steady cashflow of passive income, you simply duplicate it.

5. Duplicate

As mentioned, once you have a system that works, you then concentrate on duplicating it. You essentially learn how to leverage your business and scale it up to add value to more people.

But again, the system has to come first.

6. Leverage

The key here is to work smarter, not harder. One of T. Harv Eker’s business motto’s in SpeedWealth is: “If you’re not using leverage, you’re working too hard, and earning too little!”

You need to focus on replacing yourself in the business, whether that’s with technology, systems, employees, or even virtual assistants. You want to leverage yourself so that you can add value to others and make money while you’re SLEEPING.

He talks about examples of leveraging yourself, such as creating products or even licensing your product.

7. Cashing Out

A SpeedWealth entrepreneur starts with the end in mind. Harv talks about how once you’ve set up your systems and everything the right way, you either then have the option to keep it as a passive income stream or sell the business. But, no one will buy your business if it depends on you – that’s why you need to set up the systems so your business can run without you.

It’s important to start a business with the intention of “cashing out”, as you then are developing a systemized business process that is worth more as an asset. T. Harv Eker talks about his business FitnessLand that he sold for over a million dollars to Heinz (the Ketchup people), because of this process.

8. Do It Now!

Life is short. Whatever you want to do, do it now. Nothing is possible without taking massive action.

Harv says that the best three words of advice he’s ever heard about money is, “Get it handled!”

Money is an important TOOL. Money is like lubricant, going through life without it is very, very, rough. Money may not be able to buy happiness, but it can buy you FREEDOM.

If you’re someone who’s been putting off starting a business or a project, do it NOW!

KESM : semiconductor play

KUALA LUMPUR: KESM Industries Bhd’s net profit for the fourth quar- ter ended July 31, 2015 (4QFY15) rose 56.4% to RM10.45 million or 24.3 sen per share compared with RM6.68 million or 15.5 sen per share a year ago, primarily due to foreign currency translation income.

The period saw a foreign curren- cy translation income of RM3.11 million compared with a loss of RM7,000 in 4QFY14, its filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday showed.

The semiconductor device test- ing firm’s revenue for the period was flattish at RM68.94 million compared with RM68.65 million in 4QFY14, with the marginal in- crease attributable to the appreci- ation of the US dollar against the ringgit on US dollar-denominated receivables.

KESM proposed a dividend pay- out of three sen per share, subject to shareholders’ approval in its forthcoming annual general meet- ing. For the cumulative 12 months ended July 31, 2015 (FY15), net profit jumped 56.5% to RM17.03 million or 39.6 sen per share from RM10.88 million or 25.3 sen per share in FY14.

Revenue for the period increased to RM263.12 million from RM254.37 million, primarily due to higher demand for burn-in and testing services.

In a statement, KESM execu- tive chairman and chief execu- tive officer Sam Lim said testing of semiconductor chips is the group’s growth engine, and the bulk of its expansion is testing devices for the automotive market. “More than one billion units of automotive de- vices were shipped last year from our factories in Malaysia and China to our customers, who are lead- ers in this market segment, and in support of this, KESM has invested close to RM70 million in the newest and most advanced range of burn- in and test equipment,” Lim said.

He added that KESM would continue to focus on high-growth opportunities in the semiconduc- tor industry, which is forecasting a 2.2% growth this year with reve- nues surpassing the US$300 billion (RM1.29 trillion) mark. “Demand for intelligent cars with enhanced features such as safety, connectivi- ty and mobility requires increasing volume of semiconductor chips in each vehicle. Our customers are rolling new innovative chips to the market at a faster pace to meet demand,” Lim noted.

When Major market like China, US, Europe etc drop more around 3-5% within a trading day, it is never a good sign! just imagine Dow Jones drop for more than 1000 points in the opening market today! which subsequently narrowed to 400 points ++. Luckily, managed to took profit earlier today for most of my portfolios. Let's increase cash position now till the FALLING KNIFE cease!

Don't forget to take PROFIT on the slump market!

Fears of a China-led global economic slowdown drove Wall Street to its steepest one-day drop in nearly four years on Friday and left the Dow industrials more than 10 percent below a May record.

Wall Street's selloff this week suggested investors are growing nervous about paying high prices for stocks at a time of minimal earnings growth, tumbling energy prices and an expected rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve that could gradually usher the end of almost a decade of easy money.

Stocks have seen few large moves this year, staying in a narrow range throughout 2015, but volatility spiked this month once China surprisingly devalued its currency. Weak Chinese manufacturing data on Friday, and another drop in China's stock market, rattled investors' nerves and led to Friday's tumble.

While this month's selloff has been swift, many analysts feel the declines may be close to being exhausted, with a turnaround possibly starting as soon as next week.

"If you're buying a stock, you're dipping a toe in here."

The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 530.94 points, or 3.12 percent, to 16,459.75, the S&P 500 lost 64.84 points, or 3.19 percent, to 1,970.89 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 171.45 points, or 3.52 percent, to 4,706.04.

Next week, investors will focus on housing data, which has been strong of late, and the preliminary reading of second-quarter GDP, which could lead investors back towards riskier assets if they point to an improving U.S. economy.

The Russell 2000 index of small-cap stocks also confirmed a move into correction territory, marking a 10-percent decline from its most recent closing high on June 23.

The CBOE Volatility index, Wall Street's so-called fear gauge, touched its highest since October and notched its biggest-ever weekly percentage gain.

The S&P slumped 5.8 percent for the week, its biggest weekly decline since September 2011. The index lost more than $1 trillion of its value this week, according to S&P Dow Jones Indexes. Only 10 S&P 500 components advanced on Friday.

The selloff was broad, with all 10 major sectors in the red. The energy index dropped 2.6 percent as U.S. crude oil dipped below $40 a barrel for the first time since the 2009 financial crisis.

Many investors still anticipate the U.S. central bank will begin raising interest rates by the end of the year, but fewer of them expect a September hike after reading minutes from the Fed's July meeting on Wednesday.

Apple, still by far the most valuable U.S. company, fell 4.6 percent to $107.44, the biggest drag on the S&P and the Nasdaq.

For the week, the Dow dropped 5.8 percent and the Nasdaq tumbled 6.8 percent.

So, be smart when we invest! Do lock in the profit while you stock rise in a volatile market like this! There will be always chance to buy at lower price later on! 

Cheers!

I also wish to share with you something really important! 

why does people chase for wealth? It is not really the money itself... if you chase after money, at the end of the day, even you get millions, billions of dollar, you will still feel the emptiness if the money does not fulfill your need!

so what is the need that human tend to fulfill with their wealth?

Need 1: Certainty/Comfort

The first human need is the need for Certainty. It’s our need to feel in control and to know what’s coming next so we can feel secure. It’s the need for basic comfort, the need to avoid pain and stress, and also to create pleasure. Our need for certainty is a survival mechanism. It affects how much risk we’re willing to take in life—in our jobs, in our investments, and in our relationships. The higher the need for certainty, the less risk you’ll be willing to take or emotionally bear. By the way, this is where your real “risk tolerance” comes from.

Need 2: Uncertainty/Variety

Let me ask you a question: Do you like surprises? If you answered “yes,” you’re kidding yourself! You like the surprises you want. The ones you don’t want, you call problems! But you still need them to put some muscle in your life. You can’t grow muscle—or character—unless you have something to push back against.

Need 3: Significance

We all need to feel important, special, unique, or needed. So how do some of us get significance? You can get it by earning billions of dollars, or collecting academic degrees—distinguishing yourself with a master’s or a PhD. You can build a giant Twitter following. Or you can go on The Bachelor or become the next Real Housewife of Orange County. Some do it by putting tattoos and piercings all over themselves and in places we don’twant to know about. You can get significance by having more or bigger problems than anybody else. “You think your husband’s a dirt bag, take mine for a day!” Of course, you can also get it by being more spiritual (or pretending to be).

Spending a lot of money can make you feel significant, and so can spending very little. We all know people who constantly brag about their bargains, or who feel special because they heat their homes with cow manure and sunlight. Some very wealthy people gain significance by hiding their wealth. Like the late Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart and for a time the richest man in America, who drove around Bentonville, Arkansas, in his old pickup, demonstrating he didn’t need a Bentley—but of course, he did have his own private fleet of jets standing by.

Significance is also a money maker—that’s where my dear friend Steve Wynn has made his fortune. The man who made Las Vegas what it is today knows people will pay for anything they believe is “the best,” anything that makes them feel special, unique or important, anything that makes them stand out from the crowd. He provides the most exclusive, luxurious experiences imaginable in his casinos and hotels—they are truly magnificent and unmatched in the world.

Need 4: Love & Connection

The fourth basic need is Love and Connection. Love is the oxygen of life; it’s what we all want and need most. When we love completely we feel alive, but when we lose love, the pain is so great that most people settle on connection, the crumbs of love. You can get that sense of connection or love through intimacy, or friendship, or prayer, or walking in nature. If nothing else works, you can get a dog.

These first four needs are what I call the needs of the personality. We all find ways to meet these—whether by working harder, coming up with a big problem, or creating stories to rationalize them. The last two are the needs of the spirit. These are more rare—not everyone meets these. When these needs are met, we truly feel fulfilled.

Need 5: Growth

If you’re not growing, you’re dying. If a relationship is not growing, if a business is not growing, if you’re not growing, it doesn’t matter how much money you have in the bank, how many friends you have, how many people love you—you’re not going to experience real fulfillment. And the reason we grow, I believe, is so we have something of value to give.

Need 6: Contribution

Corny as it may sound, the secret to living is giving. Life’s not about me; it’sabout we. Think about it, what’s the first thing you do when you get good or exciting news? You call somebody you love and share it. Sharing enhances everything you experience.

Life is really about creating meaning. And meaning does not come from what you get, it comes from what you give. Ultimately it’s not what you get that will make you happy long term, but rather who you become and what you contribute will.

Now think about how money can fulfill the six human needs. Can money give us certainty? You bet. Variety? Check. Obviously it can make us feel important or significant. But what about connection and love? In the immortal words of the Beatles, money can’t buy you love. But it can buy you that dog! And it can, unfortunately, give you a false sense of connection because it attracts relationships, although not always the most fulfilling kind. How about growth? Money can fuel growth in business and in learning. And the more money you have, the more you can contribute financially.
