Santa Banta's Hilarity-Funny Retorts

Scrappy Do!

This two storyboards of Santa Banta's conversation and retorts with his dear wife is a runaway gaggle of a laugh!

Enjoy!

Sister Sister!

Ananda's 5 sen Putu Mayam Kacang Putih Stock Called Astro

Oh, yes believe me.

Things these days are pretty expensive.

Malaysia is undergoing super duper hyper inflation to the nth level.

Then we have the IPOs.

The price depends on who the backers are.

Even gomen backers also sometimes failed though not so badly as they have the EPF,KWAP,SOCSO buffer.

Cases in point-FGV and IHH.

FGV is still in the money but tak cukup untuk 15 kampit beras.

IHH pulak-up about 40 sen from IPO price.

International hospital chain,mah!

Second largest in the world!

Got some cornerstone backers.

Astro-wah! Ananda tak boleh tahan-lor.....

Let it fall-lah.

After deducting for overhead trading cost of selling, you have 4 sen. In absolute-RM 40.

Just nice for putu mayam and muruku!

One beer, maybe.

Maybe, some kacang putih too?

PS: By the trading close, ASTRO shares got nothing for the paper it is printed on.

So no muruku, no beer, no kacang putih and no putu mayam.

Ananda-what a crying shame..........malu---lah

Total burnt out!!!!

A Brainhead-Superbrain?

Ever seen a man with a brain-like head?

Look no further.

A Scratchy Proposition?

A Brazilian with a rare disease has this to show.

Weird?

A Hidden Hand in YTL Power Warrants?

Power Maneuver

This is a Friday-a great buying day.

Why, because you can bargain down the chute and jittery sellers who are wont to hold stocks over the week-end will give them to you with a ribbon wrapped around them.

So, why are the YTL Group are companies coming alive on this dull trading day when Astro has fallen down the toilet hole?

My wildest guess.

Power for the East

The YTL Power warrants subscription period is over.

The warrants should be issued out possibly in at least 10 days' time with returned cheques for unsuccessful excess subscribers on 5 November.

As YTL Corp holds almost 95% of the YTL Power warrants, this exercise is to convert it into hard moolah for a potential investment maneuver. It has a huge war-chest that even Kok Thai is envious!

What will that be?

To take YTL Power private?

Yes, easily done as more than 50% of YTL Power is deep in the pockets of the Yeoh family.

Syed Mokhtar and Francis are Still Standing

So, first stage-get the warrants out of the way by way of a 'good-feel' 50% discount on current price of the trading YTL Power warrants to the shareholders of YTL Corp.

If possible, give the excess subscribers all that they have subscribed until it hurts!

Then, standby the cash for purchasing of good power concessionaires globally to take the place of the potentially to be taken over power assets in Malaysia as well as the reducing power contracts in Indonesia, UK and Singapore.

The experience gathered from Wessex will be put to good use to rehabilitate water resources both in Malaysia and in the world.

This is a plus for YTL talent pool to bid for contracts based on contract records. MRCB got the local river rehabilitation based on politics Nah, no way as compared to Wessex!!

Again YTL Communications has apparently broke even this year. So YTL Power is GOOD!

So, what will happen when the deluge of shares flood the market when the YTL Corp shareholders find them in their CDS accounts on D-Day?

The smart ones will likely dispose of it like a diarrhea run to the comfort room.

For YTL Corp, it will be a mop up operation again and praying hard to the Almighty that at least 50% will hold it so that they do not have to do another Treasury buy-in from their reserves.

So how do you make it attractive to hold warrants for conversion?

Simple. Push up YTL Power through shock-troop buy-in ramp up.

Push it back to RM 2.00 and YTL Corp will move up beyond RM 2.25.

Francis may need to have a press-event to tell about great plans ahead for YTL Power as well as possibly announce a utility buy! Then, there will be great fun!!!!

YTL Power warrant shareholders, being greedy human beings,will hold the warrants until it become essence of cash!

Today YTL Power warrants have touched RM 0.44 sen and with fair volume.

The mother share touched RM 1.63 before retreating to trade on the RM 1.61 to RM 1.62 price continuum.

Next week should see action.

I foresee a price just below RM 0.50 for the warrants when the time to sell comes.

This can create massive selling and I think YTL Corp will cap the draw back in prices not lesser than RM 0.40 sen to maintain YTL group stature and good will.

No way will I think YTL Group will relegate this warrant to junk status.

No Greece, not anything YTL!

Period.

The RCE Capital Dilemma

To Buy or Not to Buy?

You will have to foot some moolah again as RCE Capital is asking for a warrant.

Not cheap at RM0.38 sen.

Sweetener- a bonus; and the cane?

This RCP.

How will it work out for an investor who will take up the RCP?

Again, how will it work out for the investor who just ignore it?

Let me work on it and give you some ball-park scenarios.

The Hotel Ghost-Be Very Afraid!

Ghost Kid or An Alien from Outer Space?

This may not be true and can be an output of a Photoshop image.

If you believe in ghosts,here is something to chew upon.

This little boy ghost is jumping to test a mattress at an all-suite hotel in Penang.

So, beware.....when choosing hotels to stay in the Pearl of the Orient.

ASTRO-A Falling Star

Goodbye,glory days

"No milk today,

My moolah has gone away."

As for newly re-listed Astro, it lost is astral status and has fallen!

Ananda's stock has turned from gold into tungsten.

As with Bumi Armada, his stocks are a let down save for Maxis.

So friends, without an ex-PM belakang of him, Ananda is no longer Midas.

He spins gold no more and may be is making his exit with as much moolah he can carry off.

Astro is one of these.

So IPO winners are caught with bad Ananda stocks.

For those who wanted to cash out this morning, worry abounds as who has manipulated the price this low.

Who are these suckers who sold? No, my friend-not suckers but nasty opportunists and crooked raiders!

The answer is right up the alley!

This is a dastardly job done by short sellers and day traders.

No sane person will sell at that price when the IPO price is RM 3.00; lost and allow brokerage charges to be taken by a trader.

Foolhardy at its darndest!

At the time of posting, Astro is trading at RM 3.10.

No one should sell this stock without getting a clean profit of at least RM 300.00.

The Future of Money-Nada!

No Future-lah

When money shrinks, you get less value.

When money shrinks ever so quickly, you lose more even more quickly.

That is the situation in Malaysia.

Let us get back to conventional wisdom of:

Y=C+S+I

where:

Y stands for Income;
C for Consumption
S for Savings
I for Investment

When January ringgits are more valuable than December ringgits, what do you do?

Savings is actually out of the picture as the phenomena that hit Brazil a long time ago is now also happening in Malaysia.

In the past, when a Brazilian gets his pay packet, he immediately exchanges them for USD or yen. If he doesn't, he keeps sufficient spending money for consumption but all else he converts into can food and other non-perishable foods.

This will go on until the Brazilian currency gets traction above the runaway inflation menace.

In Malaysia, the way the government is pending as if there is no tomorrow akin to Chicken Little spending as if the sky will fell the next moment has contributed to this malaise.

Privatisation has turned into piratisation and such dirty money is floating in the local commerce system.

Macam mana,tuan?

To save yourself, there is now only this formula.

Y=C+I

where:

Y stands for Income;
C for consumption
I for investment

There is no savings. (All will be telan bulat-bulat by inflation!)

Investment should be in bold gold, assets and reits.

Buy a property to stave off the inflation. At least you get value from inflated capitalization gains!

If, not, go on a holiday abroad before it becomes too expensive for you to do so!

Then, keep some money to pay credit cards by spending the next month's money in advance by 20 days!

What a way to manage your funds.

Isn't it fun?

The Vivian Lee Furor

Vivacious Vivian
