Saw the link to the article on Star Business: Kanger set to be 10th China-based company to list on the local bourse
I did not even want to read about it.
First thing on my mind was 10th!
Do we really need all these Chinese companies to be listed in our stock exchange?
Come on Bursa!
Stop thinking like a commission based salesman! These companies are stinking our stock exchange! Come on. You can't smell it? You guys complain about the lack of retail investors all the time and here you are, inviting all these China based companies to be listed here.
You just don't get it, yes?
More quantity is not going to increase retail investing participation.
QUALITY is the only word that is important.
What is stock investing?
Stock investing is investing in good quality businesses at a good price.
Investors don't want to invest in all these poor quality companies only to find the value of their investment shrink like hell after a few months!
Here's proof.

How?
Bursa Malaysia, are you aware of this stat?
If so, why?
Why are you pushing for another Chinese stock to be listed on our stock exchange?
Do you care for the quality of the stock exchange?
Or do you just list such companies hoping just for more revenue for the exchange????

Looking at the performance of China counters vis-a-vis their financial indicators, I have to throw out all that I learned in Finance and investment classes.
Or a different set of valuation yardsticks is required?
Maybe I am too dumb!
Limko: I don't think you should use financial indicators.
Common sense perhaps.
Consider the disposal of shares by the shareholders last month.
As mentioned briefly in a post here, the disposals of shares was at 60 sen. CSL IPOed at 95 sen. Make sense?
And to make financial indicators go bonkers, the disposal of shares were cheaper than the CASH PER SHARE the company said it was holding.
What gives?
Either the owners have ZERO understanding of CASH PER SHARE or perhaps we can say the CASH PER SHARE sum is in doubt!!!!
