Long Term Charts
Here's what I'm looking at with HLIND over the past 25 years.
Massive Net Cash
Up to 2020, the fast rising Net Cash coincided with stock price rising massively.
But market is forward looking. When COVID pandemic came, market already anticipated a fall, long before the fall actually happens.
My Investment Thesis
The best investment thesis jumps out at you, and HLIND certainly jumps out.
1. HLIND Dividend yield is attractive - the yield is double FD rate. No complaints here!
2. HLIND stock is under-valued.
3. A must own stock for long term dividend investors. If earnings grow, dividends grow.
4. Own it when it is cheap. This reduces your odds of losing. Remember Buffett rule.
5. I would like this company to do more with the Cash Balance i.e. give back to shareholders because it is not natural to hoard for 8-9 years or longer. After 3 years, one should already start thinking about Special Dividends, unless it has plans to use this, but this company is not very transparent, leading to questions about whether Quek has his own plans for this cash that is outside/may not necessarily benefit HLIND shareholderss (one would argue that if so, he would have already gave to shareholders via higher dividends, but chose not to do so). At the very least, it should explain, give a bit more transparency, rather than leading investors to speculate.
6. So, it's not a question of not owning but how large a size.
7. If neutral position size is 3% capital, then, this one to be safe is maybe around 3% capital.
Reason to position higher = the Triangle Consolidation - something is about to happen in the next 1-2 years.
Reason not to position higher = Can you really trust Quek given if he really cared about shareholders, why aren't him sharing more of the RM1.6 billion cash over the past 8-9 years? What if the triangle consolidation breakout is to the downside, after Quek does something else?
Remember Buffett Rule No 1 - Not lose money.
Never let Greed decides. Stay professional, be rational, investment is best done when it is most business-like.
