Starhub hitting target $2.70 with vigour MACD over Signal Line
See this chart above. Within 1 year, the stock movement has gone progressively higher and the upbeat is strong. The target price would have been achieved earlier if not for that fierce correction.
Essentially Starhub has grown 35% (2.70 div average 2.00 price a year ago). And have been consistently paying high quarterly dividends. An impressive record and always a buy and hold recommendation for this super stock.

Genting Malaysia rising in tandem with Genting Singapore
Genting Malaysia has been rising in tandem with Genting Singapore. From a long average range trading of $2.70 to $2.85 for over 1 year, now it has risen to over $3.40. Price was on an automated computerised buy-in high of $3.60 and went down slightly after the dividend (XD). And now on a equal climb with Genting Singapore.
Today, I am at Genting Highlands Resorts. Staying in the Highland Hotels, Level 9 of the Premier section. The interior has been upgraded once again. Very clean facilities. Very super fast lifts / elevator to shuttle impatient punters out of their hotel rooms into the casino tables. Staff have high morale. Salary here is much higher than elsewhere in Malaysia. Staff have their own residences and staff meal coupons. You have no place to "waste" your money. Just work, get paid, save, no worries about place to stay, rent, nor food. Happy employees means productive and dedicated employees. Policemen everywhere. They seem so much more professional and happier to give a smile than elsewhere too. Security is a top. The dining courts, restaurants, Maxims, Good Friends Restaurant, McDonalds, Marry Brown, Hainan Kitchen, are all packed with consumers. The slot machines ate 100 RM and then 50 RM. Then another 100 RM.
There are competitions and lucky draw for a BMW car (top prize) in celebration of 45th Anniversary of Genting Highlands. Veteran punters are approached by courteous staff, and being offered a free two nights stay at the hotel for the next trip that must be used within 2 months period (bar peak period). Just by checking your Genting Card and Genting Points accumulated for the day. On average, I think you can earn 1 Genting Point for "using" 50 RM for a span of 30 minutes or so. Yes there's another promotion! If you obtained 3 GP (Genting Points) within a day, you get a FREE COMBO MEAL coupon at 4-5 of the participating restaurants - like Fortune Corner, Hainan, and a few others. PLUS you stand a chance to win the car.
Cross marketing, and market segmentation is at its best. Veterans, retired citizens, who have slogged for years working and now have freedom of travel time (weekdays, non peak, non public holiday) are more often than not being offered the free room special. In proviso, you have to book it within a designated time frame. A trip to Genting Highlands for 2 person will consists of travelling expenses, meals, and casino budget. Say a low casino budget of 100 RM per day. You will be spending 2 days or 1 night, so 200 RM budget. Food is pricy at average of 20 RM per meal. 200 + 80 = 300 RM. For a very low budget person. And usually people travel as a team, a couple, old friends, so 2 person minimum. That's 600 RM into the Revenue of Genting Malaysia's balance sheet. You can bet that "normal and regular punters" will have a bigger casino budget, say 200 RM to 500 RM per day.
So that free hotel stay, means another 600-1000 RM coming in. On non-peak periods. My parents have 400-500 Genting Points. Based on my 50 RM "usage" theory, they have spent 50 RM x 400 = 20 000 RM over a course of 5 years. Average of 4000 RM per year. So yes, 1000 RM per trip. Multiply that with the veteran membership numbers (any Genting personnel can supply this figure or any actuarial estimate?) Basically the so called "non peak" period is covered solid. The bus companies too are subsidised by Genting Malaysia to have a "fair" fare for customers.
At the Galleria, a museum to showcase the roadmap of Genting's founder Lim Goh Tong - and vision of the place. 45 years ago. The startup phase was difficult. The road, literally The Long And Winding Road as sang by The Beatles. Perhaps his favourite song? Took 4 years to build the access road to the mountain top. Basically zero profit for building a road. So zero profit for 4 years. Then I look at the graph and charts, the first 10 years or so very slow. And then exponential growth. Then 97, then 2008. There are charts to show the stock value and nett profit. Compounded Average Growth Rate is a remarkable 20%. Therefore, perhaps you may want to think it is terms of a fixed deposit with 20% per annum interest rate. Some years would have had 30%, 40% growth. So think of say an average sum of $10 000 with 20% interest and keep it for 45 years. The answer: _____
So for those who thought they might have missed the boat buying Genting Singapore, Genting Malaysia is always here. The price converted to Singapore dollars is about 4.25 / 2.25 = $1.88 Singapore Dollars. Besides holding both stocks covers both economies or both market and part of diversification.
The clouds are coming again. It is cold. Weather up here is uncertain. It is raining now. One thing certain is your company's profit here. Yes your company - you are the shareholder, yes?

AirAsia solidifying and perhaps dividend or bonus
AirAsia is everywhere. It is on the newspaper day in day out. With ads, promo, painting it red for years. A person who could afford "regular" airfares will very likely still opt for AirAsia since there is a plethora of flight routes to choose from, and buying online slashing on average 50% cost of a regular airline ticket is worth a man's manliness of being a responsible consumer!
This hot red year seems to be AirAsia's. The stock price has breached the old highs 3 years ago. There are no more fuel cost issues (for now). The booking system has been upgraded. Staff morale has always been high. And branching into branding for sports all over the place has proven to be making deep hard inroads into people's mind. AirAsia is indeed everywhere.
Tony Fernandes, the superman CEO of AirAsia has not stop a bit. His brand building methods are priceless. And now perhaps is a time to contemplate two options for his loyal shareholders:
A) dishing out a hefty dividend
B) giving out stock bonus
C) giving a chance to buy into AirAsiaX
A) is a tried and tested corporate approach that may not be what a maestro like Tony will want to give out. And besides, soon after a dividend for NON-regular dividend payers, the likelihood of seeing the stock price being sold down is there, which will put a psychological burn that takes time to rebuild.
B) is a valid method that will increase shareholder loyalty to a certain extent. Those who want to "cash out" can sell the extra bonus units. Giving them complete freedom to stick and stay, or sell some. Win - win.
C) this method is perhaps trickier (any Bursa regulator experts reading? Comments?) - but it is a known method in Hollywood (not!) - America. This happened with Google. And similarly now with Facebook. Facebook employees are given preferential stock (unlisted since it's not a public company or IPO'd company yet) - but employees are entitled to some "shareholding". And these employees can trade them in private. So on and so forth, once the hype has gotten so large, with private investors buying up until a percentage of these "preferential employee shares" then the company must go public! And boom.. that's how Google created the biggest IPO ever. Hype. Branding Power. It is everywhere (on your desktop search). Ubiquitous.
Hope Tony is reading this and could create some magic here.
