            <title>The world has underestimate it—Keck Seng (M) Bhd.</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1814064</link>
            <description>The world has underestimate it—Keck Seng (M) Bhd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://mystockfolio.blogspot.com' target='_blank'&gt;My Webpage&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been a long time since I’d updated about Keck Seng. 2010 is a special year for Keck Seng as it has sold all its shareholdings in Parkway which ended up in Malaysia government treasury Khazanah’s house. The selling price was good, SGD3.95, with shareholdings around 35.58 millions, it rakes in money around RM327.49millions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This selling is special as it has highlighted how good is Keck Seng asset holdings. And yes, the market is still underestimating the company currently. Why would I say so? Look below for it shareholdings in others listed company and you will know it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shares&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mkt.P&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Value&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PPB(M)&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;              4,891,728&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17.02&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      83,257,210.56&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chin Teck Plantations(M)&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;              2,784,375&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8.51&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      23,695,031.25&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parkway Life REIT(S)&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;              6,210,118&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.13&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      25,635,367.10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shangri-La Asia(HK)&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;            31,715,599&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.82&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    248,142,846.58&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    380,730,455.49&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In purely shares holding of the company own, it has an estimated Fair Value of RM380millions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And according to the latest financial year 2010, its cash holding is RM680.60millions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adding these 2 liquid assets together gives you RM1061.33millions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And latest total liabilities filing is RM112.49millions. So you take the pure cash minus even all liabilities gives you RM568MILLION NET.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With its shareholdings around 359.143shares, net cash/share is RM1.58. IF you buy at current market price of RM4.00, it means to you that your RM4.00 buying in the company is RM1.58 in cash and around RM1.06 in all the above listed companies. So you think the market has really underestimated it? That’s not all&amp;#33;&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The company still has many hard assets such as buildings, land and estates. If you don’t know, Keck Seng has around 4 major revenue stream-Hospitality (Hotels especially in Canada), Plantation (mostly in Johor areas), Manufacturing (Palm oil processing) and also property developments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at the assets it holds in the annual report. It is still booked in 1980-2000 terms. Oh my God. With its land banking in Johor’s current market price, imagine its cash can be pump up to RM 1000 millions if it sells all the lands for development or even best, for property development?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;April is coming; will the company announce a special dividend within this year with such a huge cash hoard in hand? I don’t think they have too many expansion plans in future. So, I estimate the cash on hand will be given back either in special dividends, or capital reduction exercise.</description>

            <description>U Mobile broadband= 5 sen per MB&amp;#33;&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://followtrends.blogspot.com/2011/01/u-mobile-broadband-5-sen-per-mb.html' target='_blank'&gt;My Webpage&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://www.soyacincau.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/wpid-110121-umobile-payu-5sen-per-mb.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In conjunction with U Mobile BlackBerryservice launch, U Mobile has reduced their PAYU data rates from 1 sen per KB to 5 sen per MB&amp;#33; That’s a huge difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This takes effect immediately today 21st January 2011 on all excess usage on U Mobile broadband plans. Based on the new PAYU usage of 5 sen per MB, that’s equivalent to RM50 per GB upon exceeding your bundled data quota. For power users, it is still recommended that you go for UB68 which comes with no excess charge if you exceed 5GB of usage.&lt;br /&gt;You can check out more details of U Mobile Broadband Plans here.</description>

            <title>iPHONE table?</title>

            <description>&lt;a href='http://followtrends.blogspot.com/2010/11/iphone-table.html' target='_blank'&gt;http://followtrends.blogspot.com/2010/11/iphone-table.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://www.limfy.com/wp-content/Uploads/2010/11/iphone-table-1.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;The Table Connect for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS seems too good to be true for many people. They claim it as fake. If it is true, what do you want to do with this huge iPhone Table? Of course, it is for gaming&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;The multi-touch table is perfectly for any gaming season but I guess you will be exhausted before the game is going to end. The remarkable screen is good enough for playing iPhone games like Monster Mayhem and TowerMadness Zero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The big touch screen is taking too much more gesture than your small screen on iPhone or iPad. Another problem is, your head will be always facing down on this iPhone Table. It is going to be tired in long run.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, the iPhone needs to be jailbroken to work with Table Connect. So, you are on your own risk here. Jailbreak is perfectly legal but you will run a risk of installing malware.&lt;br /&gt;The demo video is looking good. The iPhone content&lt;br /&gt;will be projected onto the table and giving full gestures multi-touching functionality which is what you have on iPhone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://www.limfy.com/wp-content/Uploads/2010/11/iphone-table-2.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;</description>

            <title>Sunway</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1652795</link>
            <description>&lt;a href='http://mystockfolio.blogspot.com/2010/11/why-you-must-buy-sunwaysunwaycity-now.html' target='_blank'&gt;http://mystockfolio.blogspot.com/2010/11/w...aycity-now.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you already know, Sunway is merging with own SunwayCity to form a bigger property entity. This is following after the Sunrise-UEMLand and MRCB-IJMLand merger events. What a great move by Jeffrey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunrise+UEMLand might be 1+1=3 as Sunrise has the technic and good reputation in Mont Kiara while UEMLand has a lot of landbanks in Johor-the future development in Malaysia at Iskandar area.&lt;br /&gt;MRCB-IJMLand also not bad,but I see it as 1+1=2 only, just bigger in size.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While Sunway Holdings+Sunway City is in my mine=1+1=4 or even 5. Why?&lt;br /&gt;First, Sunway merging Suncity will create a greater and better image for Sunway, flushing away the confusion in investors who are confused with whether to invest in either of the companies.&lt;br /&gt;2nd, with the merging, institutional investor now invest in stock for the rest of assets not already in Sunway REIT. Example: The Sunway college, Sunway medical centre, Sunway Giza shopping mall....etc&lt;br /&gt;3rd, the biggest catalyst in future is Assets moving from Newco Sunway ---&amp;#62;SunREIT, it will further unlock the value in assets own in Sunway. Thus pumping up the cash for further development or special dividends.&lt;br /&gt;4th. With its huge success in SunREIT IPO, Sunway Newco will further attract big institutional investors who love great volume, and lower risks.  RM2.80 looks attractive compared to most analyst estimation of BVPS 3.50-3.70&lt;br /&gt;5th. Its overseas development especially China Tianjin project if launch successfully, will be a great milestones for the company, and can provide further venture in future into China, maybe and IPO in HongKong or China ?&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Well, between Suncity and Sunway Holdings, I prefer Suncity. As most assets is at Suncity, and the Bookvalue of Suncity is actually more than offering price of RM5.10, it should be more than RM5.20&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any it is selling now at RM4.60, still lower than offer price RM5.10&lt;br /&gt;RM5.10 according to most report, 20% in cash+80% in Newco shares swap&lt;br /&gt;So, if you buy 1000 shares now at RM4.60, to simplify exclude the brokerage fees,etc.&lt;br /&gt;Cost=RM4600&lt;br /&gt;20% cash back on offer RM5.10=RM1.02*1000=RM1020&lt;br /&gt;80% on RM5.10=RM4.08. As Newco Sunway offer at RM2.80, you can get 4.08/2.80*1000=1457 Newco shares.&lt;br /&gt;And also 1 free warrant for 5 Newco shares (exercise price=RM2.80)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, all in all you get:&lt;br /&gt;Cash=RM1020+&lt;br /&gt;1457 Newco share valued RM2.80=RM4079.60+&lt;br /&gt;291 free warrant( If listing price is RM0.20=RM58)&lt;br /&gt;If you decide to sell once listing of Newco at RM2.80&lt;br /&gt;Your return=RM1020+1400xRM2.80( Forget the oddlot)=RM4940&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cost=4600&lt;br /&gt;Return=4940&lt;br /&gt;Profit=340(7.39%)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if you see a good future in the company and since volatility surely improved, you decide to wait until mkt price reach BVPS estimate RM3.50&lt;br /&gt;So, now your return is&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cash=RM1020+1400Newco share xRM3.50=RM5920&lt;br /&gt;Profit=1320(28.69%)&lt;br /&gt;And this is even excluding free warrant worth&lt;br /&gt; RM0.70*290=RM203&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, now is Suncity a good buy for now? You Decide&amp;#33;</description>

            <title>Say No&amp;#33; to YES 4G?</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1650429</link>
            <description>&lt;a href='http://followtrends.blogspot.com/2010/11/say-no-to-yes-4g.html' target='_blank'&gt;http://followtrends.blogspot.com/2010/11/s...-to-yes-4g.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just saw a new Facebook fanpage saying &amp;#39;NO&amp;#39; to YES 4G&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.facebook.com/pages/Say-No-to-YES-4G/146687448712288' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.facebook.com/pages/Say-No-to-YE...146687448712288&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, let&amp;#39;s go to the 4G argument first.&lt;br /&gt;4G is the short name for fourth-generation wireless, the stage of mobile communications that will enable things like IP-based voice, data, gaming services and high quality streamed multimedia on portable devices with cable modem-like transmission speeds. It&amp;#39;s a successor to 2G and 3G wireless, whereby the first signified the shift from analog to digital transmissions, bringing data services like SMS and email to mobile phones&lt;br /&gt;for the first time, and the second refers to the advent of things like global roaming as well as higher data rates.&lt;br /&gt;Think of wireless generations as a handful of services that get faster and more feature-rich as newer technology becomes available. The 3G networks that we use today allow us to stream video, download music and files, and surf the web at average download speeds from 600Kb/s to 1.4Mb/s. With 4G you&amp;#39;ll be able to do the same but at much faster rates, while the extra bandwidth opens the door for newer applications.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;There are a number of standards and technologies pertaining to each wireless generation -- GSM, cdmaOne, GPRS, EDGE, CDMA2000, UMTS (also marketed as 3GSM), HSDPA, among others. For practical reasons, we won&amp;#39;t be dwelling on the technicalities of each term and instead will move onto the ones that involve our topic of interest here: 4G.&lt;br /&gt;Although no set of standards have been established as of yet by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the authority on such things, two competing technologies have been proposed: LTE and WiMAX. Many service providers often use the term 4G mobile broadband to describe the technologies they are offering based on their own, sometimes distorted definitions. However, current implementations are largely considered pre-4G, as they don&amp;#39;t fully comply with the planned requirements of 1Gbit/s for stationary reception and 100Mbit/s for mobile.&lt;br /&gt;Besides speed, several other guidelines have been traced for wireless communication standards to qualify as 4G. In a nutshell, they should be very spectrally efficient, should dynamically share and utilize the network resources to support more simultaneous users per cell, have smooth handovers across heterogeneous networks, offer high quality of service for next generation multimedia support, and should be based on an all-IP packet switched network.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LTE&lt;br /&gt;Short for Long-Term Evolution, LTE is considered by many to be the natural successor to current-generation 3G technologies, in part because it updates UMTS networks to provide significantly faster data rates for both uploading and downloading. The specification calls for downlink peak rates of at least 100Mb/s and an uplink of 50Mb/s, but going by real world tests its transfer speeds will more likely range from 5-12Mb/s for downloads and 2-5Mb/s for uploads.&lt;br /&gt;LTE is being developed by a group of telecommunications associations known as the 3rd Generation Partnership Project, or 3GPP, as an eight release of what has been evolving since 1992 from the GSM family of standards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are two fundamental aspects of LTE. The first is that the technology finally leaves behind the circuit switched network of its GSM roots and moves to an all-IP flat networking architecture. This is a significant shift which in very simple terms means that LTE will treat everything it transmits, even voice, as data. The other big change relates to the use of MIMO technology, or multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver end to improve communication performance. This setup can either be used to increase the throughput data rates or to reduce interference.&lt;br /&gt;Many big-name global operators and mobile communications companies are backing LTE in the race for 4G mobile broadband, including Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile, LG Electronics, Ericsson, Nokia, Siemens, NTT DoMoCo, and others. In the U.S., Verizon Wireless has said it is going commercial with its LTE network in the fourth quarter, with 25 to 30 markets up and ready at launch. AT&amp;amp;T and T-Mobile claim they will begin to deploy LTE in 2011, but in the meantime both networks have moved to HSPA 7.2 and the latter plans to roll out HSPA+ beginning this year. Theoretically these can support speeds of up to 7.2 and 21 Mbps, respectively, but in real world scenarios they are only marginally faster than most 3G data services.&lt;br /&gt;The reason behind LTE’s strong industry support lies in the relative ease of upgrading from current 3G networks worldwide over to LTE mobile broadband, compared to the significant infrastructure build out that WiMAX has taken thus far. Fewer cell sites have to be built and penetration into buildings is better at the 700 MHz spectrum LTE uses. However, WiMAX deployments are already up and running while LTE&amp;#39;s formal debut is still a few months out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WiMAX&lt;br /&gt;WiMAX is a wireless broadband access standard developed and maintained by the IEEE under the 802.16 designation. As its name suggest, WiMAX can be thought of as an extension of Wi-Fi designed to enable pervasive, high-speed mobile Internet access on a wide range of devices, from laptops to smartphones. The current implementation is based on the 802.16e specification which offers theoretical downlink rates upwards of 70Mbps and up to 30-mile ranges.&lt;br /&gt;Again, &amp;quot;theoretical&amp;quot; is the keyword here as WiMAX, like all wireless technologies, can either operate at higher bitrates or over longer distances but not both. Production networks being operated in the United States are seeing average speeds go from 3 to 6Mb/s, with bursts up to 10Mb/s. Like LTE -- and Wi-Fi 802.11n for that matter -- WiMAX supports MIMO technology, which means that additional antennas can increase the potential throughput.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no uniform global licensed spectrum for WiMAX, but three have been listed: 2.3 GHz, 2.5 GHz and 3.5 GHz. In the U.S., the biggest segment available is around 2.5 GHz and is already assigned primarily to Clearwire, a wireless internet service provider in which Sprint Nextel holds a majority stake.&lt;br /&gt;In terms of total available 4G spectrum to deploy their services, Clearwire has several times more than its competitors, which have smaller portions of the 700 MHz band. However, Verizon and AT&amp;amp;T are not too worried about this as they can re-utilize spectrum being used right now for 2G and 3G services by upgrading these to LTE when the demand is there.&lt;br /&gt;Furthermore, as mentioned earlier, the 700 MHz band that both Verizon and AT&amp;amp;T plan to use has enormously better range and penetration of buildings than the same power of signal at 2.5 GHz. Some experts have said that 700MHz will require as few as one-quarter as many base stations to offer identical coverage to 2.5 GHz.&lt;br /&gt;As you might have guessed, the industry players behind these 4G technologies reflect the history of each standard. Whereas LTE biggest supporters are, in general, telecommunication service companies and handset manufacturers, WiMAX counts the likes of Intel, Cisco and Google among its most important backers. It should be noted though that many companies like Nokia or Motorola are members of both industry groups, with different levels of involvement.&lt;br /&gt;The &amp;#39;Real&amp;#39; 4G Still a Long Ways Off?&lt;br /&gt;Like we mentioned before, neither WiMAX nor LTE are truly considered a 4G technology by the International Telecommunications Union. As defined in their International Mobile Telecommunications Advanced (IMT Advanced) family of standards, these technologies must have target peak data rates of approximately 100 Mb/s on high mobility devices like cell phones and approximately 1 Gb/s for stationary devices like a 4G modem at home.&lt;br /&gt;Just like the so-called 2.75G EDGE standard was developed to provide speeds several times faster than 2G data (GPRS) before 3G could be deployed, current implementations of WiMAX and LTE are largely considered a stopgap solution that will offer a considerable boost while WiMAX 2 (based on the 802.16m spec) and LTE Advanced are finalized. Both technologies aim to reach the objectives traced by the ITU, but are still far from being implemented.&lt;br /&gt;In the United States, both T-Mobile and AT&amp;amp;T have moved to UMTS and various flavors of paired HSDPA / HSUPA, while on the CDMA front Sprint Nextel and Verizon Wireless support the EV-DO network. Download speeds vary from carrier to carrier depending on several factors, but on average they are somewhere between 600Kb/s and 1,400Kb/s.&lt;br /&gt;In the case of Sprint, however, they&amp;#39;ve opted to go the WiMAX route because it was a near-term solution for which the company had enough spectrum to deploy right away. So while the &amp;#39;real&amp;#39; 4G may still be a long ways off, we&amp;#39;ll take all the speed we can get at the moment. Today that&amp;#39;s 3-6Mb/s with Clearwire&amp;#39;s WiMAX service.&lt;br /&gt;We expect operators to maintain their existing 2G or 3G networks for the foreseeable future, to support voice and narrower-band data while providing ubiquitous coverage. WiMAX and LTE will initially be deployed as an overlay network for fast data transfer rates, with multi-mode handsets (EV-DO / WiMAX or HSPA / LTE, for example) enabling users to get the best of both worlds as operators build out their 4G networks over several years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Products and Availability&lt;br /&gt;The biggest WiMAX provider in the U.S. is Clearwire, with their Clear service currently available in 30 markets including big cities like Atlanta, Las Vegas, Portland and most recently Houston. By the end of the year the company expects to expand its coverage to 80 major markets, reaching over a hundred million potential customers. Comcast, Sprint, and Time Warner Cable act as wholesale providers selling access to the same underlying WiMAX network as well.&lt;br /&gt;Clear&amp;#39;s mobile and residential plans can be purchased by the day or by the month, with several no-contract options available. Home Internet service plans start at &amp;#036;30 per month for unlimited data, while mobile Internet plans start at &amp;#036;40 per month and a combination of the two is available from &amp;#036;55. True road warriors can also sign up for a dual-mode plan, offering the speed of Clearwire&amp;#39;s WiMAX network where available and 3G mobile Internet connectivity elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides from choosing the plan that fits you, new gear is required to access this service. The easiest way to get up and running is with one of several USB dongles, which are available at low prices from Clear itself when signing up to a plan, or separately starting at &amp;#036;50 and all the way up to &amp;#036;225 for WiMAX and 3G coverage with the same device. There is also a range of stationary modems for home or office use, as well as Sprint&amp;#39;s Overdrive device, which serves as a portable hotspot for up to five Wi-Fi-enabled devices to hop on Clearwire&amp;#39;s WiMAX and 3G networks.&lt;br /&gt;If you want support built inside your laptop, there are an increasing number of options out there with mobile WiMAX technology from Intel available out of the box or as an option. These range from netbooks to business-oriented laptops like the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge, which sells for around &amp;#036;900, and all the way up to luxury desktop replacements.&lt;br /&gt;Sometime during this spring, Sprint is expected to release the first &amp;quot;4G&amp;quot; phone in the U.S. -- and it&amp;#39;s a monster. Dubbed HTC EVO, this Android-based phone will sport a large 4.3-inch screen, 1Ghz Snapdragon processor, 512MB of RAM, an 8-megapixel flash-equipped camera capable of recording 720p video, a 1.3-megapixel front facing camera for placing video calls, and offer tethering of its speedy WiMAX signal to double as a portable hotspot. Of course, this will be a dual-mode smartphone, so outside of WiMAX areas the EVO will fall back to Sprint&amp;#39;s EV-DO Rev. A network.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other side of the fence, Verizon is expected to launch its LTE network in 25 to 30 markets before the end of the year. There&amp;#39;s not much we can tell in the way of pricing or product details yet, but we know the carrier doesn&amp;#39;t plan to launch its first LTE-based cell phone until mid-2011. Meanwhile, MetroPCS is also getting ready to roll out its LTE network in &amp;quot;various metropolitan U.S. markets&amp;quot; this year and is partnering with Samsung for the first compatible phone.&lt;br /&gt;A Future of Convergence?&lt;br /&gt;As you can guess, today’s debate lies on which technology has the most advantageous position. WiMAX is available now, but even Sprint and Clearwire&amp;#39;s highest ranking executives have admitted that LTE might eventually become the dominant 4G technology throughout the world. That&amp;#39;s not to say they are fighting an already lost battle. While they believe WiMAX has a lot of potential, and plan to continue pushing it, their decision to back this technology is all about timing. By the time LTE hits the market WiMAX will be available in at least twice as many cities. On the other hand, GSM network standards dominate over 80% of the cellular markets worldwide, so it&amp;#39;s only natural that most mobile operators will want to move to LTE, as it&amp;#39;s rooted on the same technology they&amp;#39;ve worked with for over a decade -- Verizon being the obvious exception with their network based on CDMA standards. Another important factor, as mentioned earlier, is that LTE requires significantly less infrastructure and thus will be cheaper to deploy.&lt;br /&gt;Because both technologies are so similar there has been talk about them converging in the future. Clearwire CEO Bill Morrow emphasized this idea at the recent CTIA Wireless trade show, saying that the wireless industry should focus on the similarities between WiMAX and LTE rather than their differences. Motorola has added to this concept saying that they re-use much of its WiMAX technology when building LTE gear. Morrow envisions both technologies merging into one network standard, but even if that doesn&amp;#39;t pan out, he says they can add LTE to their network if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Verizon was quick to express doubt this will ever happen, but ultimately it&amp;#39;s up to the standards bodies and the driving forces behind them. Regardless if such convergence ever gains traction, for now WiMAX is at least a year ahead of LTE in terms of major commercial deployments and is moving full steam ahead. Clearwire will likely market WiMAX devices (and later on WiMAX 2) exclusively for the next 2-3 years, adding an LTE signal with minimal change to its antennas when -- and if -- the market demand is there as the LTE device ecosystem matures.&lt;br /&gt;The leap to WiMAX in its current state is really more like going from dial-up to DSL. It&amp;#39;s a nice speed gain, comparable to some of the lower-end home broadband plans, but more of an intermediate step to something much faster. In the short term that could be LTE. We&amp;#39;ll have to reserve judgment until it&amp;#39;s available commercially, but the fact remains neither technology will make users want to drop their speedy cable modem service just yet.&lt;br /&gt;If you are not looking to do extremely demanding broadband usage, and spend most of your time within Clear&amp;#39;s WiMAX coverage area, then the increased data speeds could be attractive for working at home or on the road without having to worry about finding a Wi-Fi hotspot. Sprint&amp;#39;s upcoming HTC EVO handset might also play an important role in getting new customer sign-ups, as the first and probably only smartphone capable of 3-6Mbps download speeds that can also double as a portable Wi-Fi access point for as many as eight devices.</description>

We have been doing this in Penang for the past 10 years, and hopefully with the success of this listing we may secure deals with landowners in Kuala Lumpur soon,” said Low.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The company posted a 15 sen premium over its offer price of RM1. Afternoon trade resulted in a high of RM1.35 before it closed 15 sen higher at RM1.30, with 51 million stocks changing hands. Ivory is the first property developer to be listed on the Main Market this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Low said Ivory Properties was looking to secure joint ventures with other property developers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We have been in joint venture deals with companies from Kuala Lumpur to develop property in Penang for the past 10 years. We are currently in talks with several companies to develop more townships as well as commercial condominiums,” added Low.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At present, the company has completed property development projects with a total gross development value (GDV) of about RM675.63mil. It has ongoing projects with a GDV of about RM834.08mil scheduled for completion within the next few years.

We have recently participated in The Star Property Fair and sales results were better compared to the past two years. I would say the (property) market is on an uptrend,” said Manokharan.</description>

            <title>KLCI reach 1340,breaking 1400 soon?</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1498409</link>
            <description>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://mystockfolio.blogspot.com/2010/07/klci-reach-1340breaking-1400-soon.html' target='_blank'&gt;My Webpage&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear all,as you might notice,I have sold all my Xingquan.I bought it during its low, RM1.14, sold RM1.66.A whopping 45% gain of the shares. I will start writing my 100,000 portfolio today, now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, starts capital with RM10,000. For most working adults, this is not a really hard amount to achieve.My target is to grow this RM10,000 into RM100,000 without adding additional capital, in 10 years time or less. Thus my goal is achieving almost 30% gain every year. Is this achievable? Yes, it is. And I myself have notice lots of shares that will give you this return, provided you bought them at the right time, which is when they are over sold, or deeply undervalued.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, how to accumulate your first RM10,000?&lt;br /&gt;Well, you can achieve this by saving your own money RM400/month for 2 years time, thus giving you around RM9600,added another RM400. OR save RM800/month for 1 year. OR another way is to start your capital with partnership with your parents or siblings. But, whatever you do, remember my advice: NEVER NEVER NEVER BORROW&amp;#33;&amp;#33;&amp;#33;&amp;#33; to invest. The starting capital should be your extra money which is not for urgent usage in near futures like 2-3 years. If not, when you are stuck in stocks because buying too high prices, you might have to wait at least 2-3 years to sell it back into the market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2nd,to achieve the RM100,000 target in 10 years time, one must be able to find out the right stocks and have disciplines to take profit in between once 30% profit achieved. Some of the stocks I noticed all these years are, for example Xingquan 1.14---1.66(45%);Haio 3.8---10.00(163%);Hartalega 5.8---8.3(37.90%) etc. Too many, and finding a stock which gives you 30% return is realistic&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to the target of RM100,000, before starting your own portfolio, you must first analyze and find out stocks that you think will be able to give you return of 30% in that year.But how?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think there are no certain answer to this.That&amp;#39;s why people said investing is an art.&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, you just have to find a gem where market still unnoticed, but when all big houses broker covered them, you know you might easily earn over the 30% benchmark.&lt;br /&gt;The method I use normally involve a few key calculation and estimation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.Discover the company EPS and earning power,and compared it to current market price to get the P/E. If P/E too high or too low, ask yourself why? Is it normal for it to be high or low in that particular industry? Normal P/E as suggested by most is 15 in Malaysia. But this can vary during different time for example during crisis and booming time. So be more cautious apply this. But normally I think higher P/E acceptable for those monopoly player in the market.&lt;br /&gt;2nd thing in discovering earning power of company is compare its operating profit margin with its competitors. If its OPM is lower or higher, ask why? For OPM, if it has been increasing gradually over the past 5 years, this shown a good sign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.Look seriously into the company debt profile.&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, great earning might be a false thing. Many companies that went bankruptcy at the end because they have been using debt instruments or borrowing to boost their incomes so as to disguise the investors. And when they have problems restructuring their debts, the whole thing collapses,and so will the share prices. That&amp;#39;s why many investing gurus have told us not to invest in a new start up companies, because we cannot trace their past performance.&lt;br /&gt;A healthy company which has been around the industry over 5 years should have a TL/E (total liability/Shareholder equity) ratio of lower than 5. If not, they are not really competitive enough and not worth you buying.&lt;br /&gt;Yet, a cash rich company might not necessary means a good thing. Because by having so much cash in hand, and if their dividend paid to shareholders are pretty low(div yield around only 2-3%), it means a monkey business. The major shareholders tell you indirectly they are unwilling to share with you their success, thus leave these companies, no matter how good their business are. Because if they are doing it , the company&amp;#39;s cash will either someday been suck all out or privatized.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.After making sure the companies are in a healthy form, buying and selling timing is utmost important.Buying a good company at a all time high prices (assuming P/E&amp;gt;25) can be a bad things also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, these are just a few , for discovering company&amp;#39;s debt profile, I suggest using the piotroski test. It is really useful.&lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;This is my starting RM10,000 stockfolio:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	Buy At 	Quantity 	Cost 	MktPrice 	MktValue 	Gain/Loss 	Gain/Loss %&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;Maybulk 	2.90 	300 	871.26 	2.980 	894.00 	22.74 	2.61%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;Keck Seng 3476/ 1.00 	5.63 	200 	1126.34 	5.650 	1130.00 	3.66 	0.32%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;Genting Malaysia 4715/ 0.10 	2.87 	1000 	2865.86 	2.700 	2700.00 	(165.86) 	-5.79%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;BJTOTO-CF/ 28.02.11/ 4.00 /3:1 	0.1420 	3000 	426.13 	0.120 	360.00 	(66.13) 	-15.52%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;Hovid 0065/ 0.10 	0.2622 	2000 	524.31 	0.17 	340.00 	(184.31) 	-35.15%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;CIMB XINHUA25-ETF 	1.0563 	500 	528.16 	1.02 	507.50 	(20.66) 	-3.91%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;Hing Yiap Group 7722/ 1.00 	1.3097 	1500 	1964.59 	1.28 	1920.00 	(44.59) 	-2.27%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;Sunway REIT 5176/ 1.00 	0.8973 	2000 	1794.54 	0.89 	1770.00 	(24.54) 	-1.37%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;Cash 	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	506.40 	&lt;br /&gt;	506.40 	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;Total Portfolio Value 	&lt;br /&gt;	&lt;br /&gt;	10607.59 	&lt;br /&gt;	10127.90 	(479.69) 	-4.52</description>
