20100327 If you put $ to work on TM (Telekom Malaysia) in Nov 2009, now the benefits are reaped. It was an unexciting stock, big cap (buy as much as you want) and index component... At that time TM was given the commission to come out with the Hhigh Speed Broadband in the Budget 2009. This week saw the launch of TM's Unifi HSBB offering.

Najib Leaves For Hong Kong To Attend Asian Investment Conference

In his speech, I wonder what 'liberalisation' measures will be announced? The internalization of the ringgit maybe? Now THAT would make foreign investors sit up and notice Malaysia. Fingers cressed....

"MALAYSIA'S stock market was upgraded at BNP Paribas SA, which said banks, plantation and construction companies will outperform in the next nine months.

The market was raised to "overweight" from "underweight," BNP said in a report today.

"Heightened regional volatility has prompted portfolio money to flow into defensive sectors and markets such as Malaysia," BNP said"

ATIC Stockpicking for 2010 by Pong Teng Siew (Jupiter Securities0

Well, the most informative talk at ATIC was Mr Pong Teng Siew's on 'Stockpicking in 2010'.

The gist of the talk:
1 The stockmarket, according to the economic metrics that Jupiter follows are still pointing to the bull market being intact. Measures like M1/nominal GDP, M1 growth, still point to juice still left in the bull.
2 Historically, 4 periods in the past where the US economy went into recession, the subsequent recovery in the US economy has seen a 3 to 4 year secular bull market emerge. We are about 1 year into this phase for the stock market.
3 The market will be in a range, index wise but there will be thematic sector plays, basically rotation.
4 Sectors to outperform: healthcare (Faber, KPJ, rubber glove manufacturers (Supermax, lateexx), consumer related (HAIO, Tan Chong, Zhulian, Daibochi, Cocoland, Yee Lee), technology (Unisem, GUH, Notion V Tech, but watch the book/bill ratio, sell when it exceeds 1.2 for semiconductor stocks), geographic ie Sarawak (CMSB, HSL, Naim)
5 Secotrs to underperform, GLCs (POS, MRCB, UEMLand, Airport), plantations (Sime Darby, KLK, IOIcorp but Genting Plantions are worth considering), Steel (Masteel, Choo Bee, Kinsteel, Line Industries) Property and construction.(exception is Paramount Corp)

Oh and there was the inevitable hard sell on trading online with Jupiter Securities. Commission minimum RM10, 0.1% for RM10K to RM50K value traded and 0.05% for RM50,000 above. If sign up at ATIC, then 1 month commission free trade.

Omar Marican at the keynote address highlighted the CME strategic relationship with Bursamalaysia Derivatives... but the mention is only on USD CPO futures contract, how about the FKLI futures, will it be available on the whole globex network, and cross trading: emini S&P500, mini Dow, Soybeans, Live cattle or FX futures etc all of which are A1++ contracts traded on CME. Will Malaysian brokers have access to trade these products? On USD CPO this is a commodity traded in FX currency (USD), will BNM clamp down on it, just as they are doing this clamping down on fx trading? These are questions that many asked, no answers yet, but watch this space.

Last minute I decided I will be visiting the ATIC 2010 this weekend. Hopefully it is informative.

20100318 0958 FKLI futures 30 min chart, trapped in consolidation until the breakout...

NQ futures breakout has followed through to this level, a move of >50 index points. HSI futures daily has likewise followed through on the inverted H&S breakout. You only need a couple of these types of trades a month....

20100317 1715 FKLI futures 30 min chart... Compare and contrast to the HSI and MSCI Singapore indices.... Draw what ever conclusion you want, but I been told that the FBM KLCI (and FKLI futures) are 'pariah'.
