Polishing/paint correction

SgtScoop — Thu, 14 Oct 2021 21:00:30 +0800

My wife has a black Forester which has got a whole lot of scratches on it. I think a cat has been climbing on it. I want to get it looking like new but I'm wary of getting ripped off.

What's the market price for this kind of service?

Is there anywhere around KL that you would recommend?

Which B Segment Car Should I Buy?

SgtScoop — Tue, 05 Oct 2021 23:13:58 +0800

I want to buy a B segment car for driving around the neighbourhood, going to work, etc. I have another car for family use.

I'm thinking of a Yaris or Jazz, or maybe an X50. My wife really doesn't want a Myvi but she might be okay with the Perodua SUV.

I want to get something for less than RM100k. My priorities are safety, comfort, NVH, low running costs.

Which car would you recommend?

SCIB?

SgtScoop — Fri, 28 May 2021 22:31:40 +0800

I see that this stock is getting crushed. All of the TA indicators are red. Still, the finances look okay on first inspection. The company seems like it's looking to expand.

Is there something nasty lurking below the surface?

I've just bought an Echo Dot. I'm trying to link it to my Spotify account but it's not working. I've changed my location on Amazon to the US but it still won't let me link to Spotify.

Any suggestions?

Where can I find those kinds of analysts' ratings?

Why are Malaysian Stock so Cheap?

SgtScoop — Sun, 31 Jan 2021 13:30:17 +0800

Stocks on the NYSE traditionally trade at a P/E of 20-30. Public Bank has a P/E ratio of 3.17. Top Glove has a P/E of 13 as the market leaders in a boom industry.

Do Malaysian stocks usually trade at a low P/E ratio and if so, why?

I'm looking at Airasia as a recovery stock. Most analysts seem negative on it at the moment. Is anyone in Airasia? Should I wait for the price to fall further before buying in?

US Dividend Stocks

SgtScoop — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 14:01:10 +0800

Is it possible to instruct your broker to reinvest your dividends into the stock rather than credit the dividend to your account?

I'm concerned that I will lose a lot from the USD-MYR conversion and then converting it back from MYR-USD when I want to reinvest it.

Genting vs Genm

SgtScoop — Thu, 26 Nov 2020 01:39:12 +0800

I see that the market cap for both is RM15b meaning that the markets think the plantations and O&G assets of Genting are worthless. What am I missing here?

SgtScoop — Tue, 03 Nov 2020 20:12:41 +0800

I opened an account on CIMB iTrade to buy shares listed on the NYSE but at the moment, all I can see is Bursa Malaysia. How do I get access to more markets on iTrade?

What's the hottest/warmest hatch (or small car) that can be bought new for around RM100k?

They used to sell the Swift Sport but that's gone. Are there any cheap fun cars left in the Malaysian market?

SgtScoop — Tue, 10 Mar 2020 09:56:47 +0800

I want to get in on oil at $30 a barrel. Can I use an app like Stashaway or do I have to do it through the banks? What's the cheapest way to do this apart from storing barrels in my condo?

Android Auto

SgtScoop — Fri, 07 Jun 2019 20:48:09 +0800

I've got Android Auto in my new Ranger. It works pretty well and it's great having Google Maps for the navigation but it keeps disconnecting every time I hit a bump. I thought it was a problem with the cable so I changed it but it persists.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Hey bros, I need some tinting advice. I need to get my new car tinted. I know there is no point in getting the cheap tinting on Fave but brands like 3M are too expensive. Is there a tinting brand that offers good value for money?

XC90

SgtScoop — Sat, 01 Dec 2018 13:40:01 +0800

I'm looking at getting an XC90 for my growing family. Before I do, I want to check out the competition but I can't seem to find any. The Merc 7 seater is about 25% more expensive. Are there luxury 7 seat SUVs that compete with the XC90 in Malaysia?
