Valuecap: Our Strategy to benefit from Valuecap

Toll hike, Weak Ringgit, Rising Living expenses, with all the negative news around us everyday and life is getting tougher, but lets not drag down by the negative energy. As being thought by my Sifu, where I will quote his statement here " Don't complaint, buy shares!" 

The logic behind this is stop nagging and look for the shares that will get benefit from the hike and invest in it to get back your money. For an example, you can always buy "Highway Stock" when there is a rate hike as this willl boost the profit of such company and of course you will get good dividend from it. 

Today we are going to share u "tips" to benefit from Valuecap.


As FBMKLCI is now already above 1700, is Valuecap still relevant to support the market??? Looking at the situation, Valuecap is not relevant to support the market anymore as the index is now back above 1700 but we believe that Valuecap will still deploy money into the market as our PM need this to make sure the market players are confident again and also making sure that his word count as he is now at the most dangerous time of his political career. In order to secure his position, he will have to do something to make sure the cronies are happy or else the cronies might turn their back on him. So what will he do? we assume the state fund will buy up some of the cronies stock to provide a good chance for them to cash out from most of their current investment. 

Let’s not discuss whether is this a good move to the nation and the rakyat as we can’t change this fact, hence let’s look for a solution that will benefit U & ME. 

This is the jizz of "No complain, buy stocks!"


As a player in the market and also an opportunist, what shall we do and aim to make sure  we will be benefit from the action that will be taken by the government?

It’s actually quite easy to answer this question
1st We look for the shares that being perceived as the cronies counter.
2nd Make sure when can Valuecap start to buy.
3rd After making sure of the date, buy before Valuecap especially when the share retraced.
4th Sell the shares to Valuecap together with the cronies with handsome profit
5th Wait for the market to fall and REPEAT!

So for the 1st question, what’s the cronies stocks that we shall look at?

1st FGV
As we mentioned last week, Felda Global Ventures (FGV) is something that we should look at it seriously. As we all know, this company was initiated by our 2nd PM Tun Razak where his son whom is the current PM had continue his good work by listing the company in year 2012.  

Other than being a brainchild of our current PM’s family, we should also be aware that there are more than 55 Parliament seats are under FGV’s settlers. This mean there are about 55 or over Parliament seat will be in danger if FGV is not performing. As Malaysia Parliament were formed by 222 parliament seats, hence 55 is equal to almost a quarter or 24.77% of the parliament. 

So what will U do if U are in our PM’s position? 
Will U use Valuecap to “invest” in FGV in order to secure your position? I will definitely do that.

2nd UEMS
UEMS, were well known as a GLC since the Tun M’s era. This is a counter that have lots of land in Johor where lots of Parliament seats are under this area, as we saw tension are growing in that state especially after sacking the DPM and also the relationship with the Sultan’s family. We believe Johor related counters such as UEMS and KUB might be also one of the target for Valuecap to buy in, as this is to create a cash out platform in order to exchange for political support.

3rd MRCB
MRCB were not doing very well previously due to the previous management, however this is also a traditional GLC link stock that shouldn’t be forget.

4th SEACERA (7073)
This was not being well known as a political related stock as the past. However, we would like to highlight this stock as it had started to move and rose in May 2014 where there were news reported saying the company had submit proposal to build electric fence at the border of Thailand and Malaysia and also submitted tender to be part of the builder for Menara Warisan. The stock price had shot up after then where the highest is RM1.33. 

The core business of the company was selling ceramic tiles and have moved in to property development but there were some undisclosed news saying they are closed to the most powerful man in Malaysia and went to some of the business trip together, hence they are able to submit proposal for these 2 big projects.



The share price had moved to RM1.33 of its highest and there are speculations saying that the electric fence project might get a go on this coming budget. (I’m not sure how true is this piece of market talk or so call rumors or whether how reliable it is as there are always lots of so called news in the market, but the share price had moved recently hence this piece of rumors could be true.) We believe the stock may challenge RM1 IF this piece of news is true and RM1.33 the previous high might be in target.

I think this might be the best to play as the share capital of the stock is small and its cheap compare to the others. Its good for small fish like me as this stock offer a chance of small bet but big gain. 

5th MHB
MHB a share that was traded as high as RM8.82 and is now traded RM1.10. The share is a subsidiary of Petronas where the share price came down as project were not given to this company, however, we believe this company might be a good play for the cronies to get cash by moving it up.

*Pls like our FB page and turn on the notification from our page as we will keep u updated on the latest Cronies stock that will be on target once we found it.

2nd Question

After having 5 stocks to monitor on top, let’s move on to the 2nd question. When can Valuecap start to buy?

In the previous article, we saw that Valuecap were being given aggressive dateline on 15 October to start purchasing, but the person in charge think its hard as they have regulatory steps and approvals from the shareholders hence he think Valuecap will only be ready by 2nd half of November. So is telling us, we still have 1 month to mop up the shares before Valuecap.


However, we saw some very special situation on last Friday which is 16th October.
FGV were closed 5 bids higher as there are someone who came in to the market to mop up all the shares available. We can see that there are 10,000 lots or 1,000,000 units of shares which worth around RM1.74 million were being mop up last minute. Who could that possibly be? It wouldn’t be small fish like me, could that possibly be Valuecap? Or maybe the insider? Well, we will stop to speculate here but we believe this might be some insider. Looking at such a situation, we believe FGV might have a chance to touch RM2 in 3 months’ time.


Other than FGV, we did also saw UEMS had big fish “Makan” in the last 15 minutes which turn the share price from red to green.


PMetal, another stock that got the same thing like UEMS.


MRCB which is also have big makan at the last 15 minutes.

Seacera, started to move from the noon, however, all the available stock were mopped up by somebody at 4.50pm which u see in the blue box. This might be the insider? If it is really insider then we believe it wouldn’t be hard for the share to move to RM1 and above.

Though this big “makan” at the last 15 minutes wasn’t able to justify whether the Valuecap has enter the market yet, however, this big “makan” indicate something.

We also wouldn’t rule out that this big “makan” might be related to the Budget that will be announcing on 23rd October. If this is really related to budget then we might see these shares continue to move on this Monday onwards until the good news is out. 

*Pls like our FB page and turn on the notification from our page as we will keep u updated on the latest Cronies stock that will be on target once we found it.

3rd Step

If the big “makan” above is not from Valuecap but insider, then we may follow the insiders to play until before the budget out. Hence we might have half month more to collect these shares and sell it to Valuecap on the 2nd half of November.

4th 

Sell the shares to Valuecap together with the cronies with handsome profit.

5th

Wait for the market to fall and REPEAT!


RISK!

It looks like a good plan isn’t it? But wait! Never forget about the risk too!

1st the largest risk of this strategy is our PM’s budget might get rejected due to the rebellion and also the non-confident vote from the opposition, these might causes Valuecap to stop its action, however, this is not the end as we are able to manage the risk. How?

Manage Risk, how?

The budget will be announcing on 23rd October which is on Friday, hence we could still participate in those stocks on Monday and sell it before the Friday closing. This is because the stock will still move before the announcement and they will only vote after our PM finish his budget proposal. Hence, the market will only react on the next Monday if there is a vote of no passing the proposal.

On the other hand, readers shall not forget the most important principal which is "buy on rumours and sell on news. Its important to take profit after the news are out!

*Pls like our FB page and turn on the notification from our page as we will keep u updated on the latest Cronies stock that will be on target once we found it.



We think the strategy above should be good for our readers to make some handsome gain, however, the strategy will need ur trading skill to make sure u r able to make money too and trading skill is something that we couldn't share here as it is very tedious. 

We have shared our best and all the things we know, however, we wouldn’t be 100% confirm about all the news that we get are 100% reliable. THIS IS BECAUSE WE ARE LIVING IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA and things get to change quickly, Valuecap might move in earlier or later or maybe even not in November though it was already reported in newspaper that they will be in on 2nd half of November.



Once again, we would like to reiterate again that this blog is here to help out our readers and try to let them make some handsome gain from this volatile market.

May all the Huat be with us. Huat ah!

Valuecap: Return of the KING, Can they succeed?

Value Cap

The recent plunge had caused the government to put lots of effort to stabilise the market where Valuecap is 1 of the most eye catching measure where our PM announced reactivating Valuecap by pumping in RM20b which is the highest amount ever.

Commencement in 2002

Valuecap were 1st announced in October 2002 where it was after the 911 of 2001, and in the middle of SARs as well as before the war in IRAQ which started on 20th March.

Government set up Valuecap at that time where the capital will be RM10b which is from 3 of its shareholder Khazanah, PNB and KWAP.
In year 2003, Valuecap had raise RM5.1b through issuing bond. Money raise were injected into the market. Though government had announced RM10b, however the fund end up using only RM5.1b to stabilise the market.


Source: Value Cap annual report for year 2003


From the data above, we can see that the money of Valuecap doesn’t come in a shot, but it is divided to a few shot. Where the Valuecap got RM2.4b on 28th Ferbruary, RM1.8b on 21 March and another RM0.9b on 5th September. We believe they can only go into share market after they got the money from RUB.




The situation before the Value Cap
The market drop 24.63% from the highest at 816 points on 23/4/2002 to the lowest on 614 on 4/12/2002. Another bottom at 615.77 on 11/3/2013 after the announcement of ValueCap (couldn’t retrace whether when did they announce it)


After Valuecap was announced



The index rose from the lowest of 615 on 11/3/2003 to:
1.       2nd January 2004 which rose to 793 (178p @ 28.94%)
2.       3rd January 2005 which rose to 907 (292p @ 47.47%) @2004 (114p @ 47.47%)

Summary: The government had successfully support the market in year 2003 by using Valuecap which spent only RM5.1b which is smaller than what they budget. 


The second appearance of Valuecap



In December 2007 where the Subrime loan Crisis from US happen while the collapse of Lehman Brothers on 15th September had causes the market in great fear. The market had collapse where it started to fall on its historical high of 1513 to the lowest by 801 which had dropped 712 points or 47.05%.

In year 20th October 2008, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak announced that the government would inject RM5 billion from the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) to double the size of the highly-secretive government fund, ValueCap Sdn Bhd to RM10 billion to prop up the stock market.

However, in year 2008’s Annual report it shows that the ValueCap had only got RM1b from EPF. Above is the terms of the term loan.


The remaining amount of funds were received on the date above. we believe they can only go into share market after they got the money from EPF.


In year 20th October 2008, DPM Najib announced to pump RM5b from EPF to Valuecap, however, ValueCap only got RM1b in year 2008. Though they haven’t use the fund, but the index had started to sideway after then.

It is worth noticing that the FED had also announce QE on Dec 2008 which we believe that is also 1 of the reason that helps to support the market to come back from falling. 

On the other hand, BNM is also slashing interest rate at that time where it had slashed 1.5% within 3 months frame which is a very drastic measure. 

The thick red line were the date that Valuecap get funds from EPF, we can see that the market didn’t rise even Valuecap get the funds however, the market had stop dropping after Valuecap cames in which we believe this is an important factor that buoyed the index.

The result of Valuecap on 2009




In year 2009, Valuecap got another RM4b from EPF where the market had rose
1.       20th October 2009 which rose to 1270 (469p @ 58.55%)
2.       20th October 2010 the index hit 1480 (679p @ 84.77%) from 1270 (210p @ 16.53%)


Summary: Though the government had launched the Valuecap to support the market, however the return of the market was not solely due to Valuecap but it was result from the combination of Monetary Easing measurement of BNM as well as Quantitative Easing from US. 


2014 Return of the king… 


In year 2014, the index had hit a fresh high of 1896 on 8th July and started to fall where the index had hit 1503 by 25th August 2015 where the index had dropped 393 points @ 20.72%. At the same time, Ringgit had depreciate from RM3.20 to RM4.40 on 1st October 2015. 

As a result, PM had announced to reactivate Valuecap by injecting RM20b into the fund on 14th Sept 2015. 


As a result of index and Ringgit dropping, PM cum Finance minister had announced market supporting measurement where they reactivate Valuecap by pumping RM20b for Valuecap to invest in undervalue asset and this amount of money will not affect the balance sheet of the government. Though we have had Valuecap but we still have yet to see BNM come out with any monetary easing measurement to cooperate with the government.

After doing some comparison, we found that the government introduced Valuecap in 2002 after the stock market dropping 24.63% while they had used RM5.1b instead of RM10b which they announced earlier. In 2008, the stock market had tumbled 47.05% before the government announced pumping RM5b into the Valuecap. However, in 2015 the government had announced reactivation of Valuecap with RM20b after the market drop 20.72%, where the amount this time is much larger than the previous and they roll out this measure even the market is still dropping lesser than the previous one.

Other than comparing the percentage of dropping for Malaysia, we can also take DJIA as comparison where DJIA had dropped 27.94% and 31.11% in the past while this time they were only dropping 16.24% which is still below 20% and hasn’t enter the bear market yet. This shows that the government had roll out this measurement pretty early.

On the other hand, we can also noticed that Valuecap doesn’t pump money into the share market by 1 shot but they are divided to a few bullets. However, Valuecap doesn’t help to push up the market once they pump the money in but they do able to stabilise the market from dropping.

This is proven in the news “State-owned investor ValueCap Sdn Bhd is expected to start a mopping up spree of underperforming stocks on Bursa Malaysia from November, when its shareholders release the first tranche of its announced RM20 billion fund.
ValueCap’s three shareholders — Khazanah Nasional Bhd, Retirement Fund Inc (KWAP) and Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) — are expected to make available RM8 billion as part of the initiative to strengthen the economy that was announced by the prime minister last month.
KWAP CEO Wan Kamaruzaman Wan Ahmad said the three shareholders will each provide an equal RM6.67 billion to ValueCap’s kitty.
“We were given an aggressive deadline of Oct 15 (to start), but we think it will be difficult due to regulatory steps and approvals as well as the nod from each shareholder’s board.
“We estimate ValueCap to commence with funds available somewhere in the second-half of November,” he told The Malaysian Reserve at the sidelines of the Khazanah Megatrends Forum 2015 yesterday.”

Can Valuecap succeed?

From the information above, we can see that the Valuecap came out for the 1st time when George Bush started to query Iraq regarding the massive destructive weapon and followed by Iraq war and SARS which had affected the share market. However, the market had started to come back after the commencement of Iraq war on June 2003 where DJIA had also rose by 26.19% in 1 year time. Hence the rose of FBMKLCI was contributed by 3 things, 1st is the Valuecap, 2nd is the commencement of war which had removed the uncertainties and the 3rd is the comeback of DJIA. These 3 major factor was the most significant reason that causes the market to regains its pace.

The 2nd time is in 2008 which were caused by Subprime loan Crisis as well as the collapse of Lehman brothers that resulted in financial market turmoil. Our Government had rolled out RM5b for Valuecap while BNM came out with Monetary easing measurement by slashing interest rate from 3.5% to 2% as well as Quantitative Easing (QE) by FEDs which had causes the US market to regain its pace. These 4 issues were the main reason that causes our share market to comeback.

In 2015 which is the 3rd time, our country had faces a drop in income due to the low commodities price, the slowdown of china and the uncertainty from Europe, US tightening their monetary policy by rising interest as well as the fall of EM currency. Our government are smart enough as they are aware of the severity of these issue hence they had come out with RM20b to reactivate Valuecap. 

However, we don’t have other factors that help us to buoy the market other than Valuecap, it will be an uphill battle for Valuecap as long as the issue that bothering us which we mentioned above still remain the same.

It will only be easier if BNM ease their monetary policy, commodities price able to rise again, China able to avoid hard landing as well as the DJIA able to make new high again, or else, it is not an easy job to Valuecap.

So how shall we benefit from it? 


Last but not least, as Valuecap is coming back to save the market we can still look for some “undervalue counters” such as FGV (don’t think undervalue but its cronies counters), MHB (don’t think undervalue but its cronies counters) to make some quick bucks once Valuecap came in. On the other hand, those really undervalue counters that I think might spark the attention of the Fund managers might be Padini and Tunepro which is consider cheap now.

In short, My top pick now is FGV, MHB, Padini and Tunepro which might be favourable to benefit on the Valuecap move. Btw, u may look forward for my next post about Leesk which doesn’t drop much even their profit fall in the past quarter, this might be a hidden gem that waiting to explode soon.
