从半个地球远寄来的年报

刚刚收到从半个地球远寄来的年报，

跨过太平洋，经过两大洲，

来到我家的『pigeon box』

facebook，2013

虽然现在有epaper的年报，也比较环保。

不过相信很多投资人都像Ali有阅读年报，收集年报，

我们会珍惜它，就好像书籍一样，

没有随便乱丢，整齐排列在书架。

新玩意

Ali最近迷上了一个新玩意，它不是电玩，它是《相簿》photobook
去年购买的Groupon，打算打造一本相簿给儿子，记录儿子一周年的成长过程。

但是这个大project拖了又拖，儿子快要两岁了，一岁的相簿还未完成。懒惰的爸爸。
眼看还有两个月，礼券就过期，Ali终于开工，用了一个月半完成这本“杰作”。
当收到这本杰作，很满意，很开心。

一些精选和大家分享

五月熊来了？！

老话：《Sell in May, and run away》

眼看牛市已经跑了5年，是老牛了吗？熊要来了吗？Ali不知道。我们不时说这股票那股票很贵，期待熊的到来，不是吗？如果真的熊来了，你有准备吗？你有现金吗？你的贷款高吗？如果你掉了工作，你还能维持多久？

那年，2008那只熊，记得那年，油价飙升到140美元一桶，每个人都说会起到200一桶，油项目很多。虽然那年熊市凶手不是原油，熊来时不关什么也不法幸免。油价跌到40美元，很多项目都喊停。Ali也一夜间没有项目做了。当年只是小工程师，没有被裁员，但是心里也很怕万一。今天收到一位在Intel工作的大学同学的电邮说他换邮址，他拿到VSS，被裁了。Ali的姐姐在HSBC也拿VSS。上次Ali没中裁员，这次没中，下次呢？

那年，投资方面，从盈利11千变亏8千，就连以为不影响的云顶，bursa通通跌，那些小型股更不用说。Ali用两年才翻身，因为住进Citigroup的套房。

虽然现在原油没有起到当年的水平，Ali常常听到有人说房价会起不会跌，仿佛当年的油价。熊是不是来了，如果你有准备，你有现金，你的贷款不高，你就不会怕，那是你的机会，买廉价股票，买廉价房屋。

以下的饼是Ali组合(29-4-2014)

威士卡（Visa）公布季度财报，Ali看盈利有进步，没有问题，可是股价就大跌5%，报$198。万事达卡也跌5%。
这季度净收入和每股收益都有双位数成长26%，31%。很好，没有多少蓝筹股有这高的成长。
有人说俄罗斯的问题会影响未来公司的盈利。

马股大庄家的股票组合

上星期分享了冷眼的股票组合，借着冷眼的声望得到热烈的收视率。（还没看的，就按这连线）

大庄家

这星期，有个小主意，再分享另一个大庄家的股票组合，他是谁？他与我们息息相关，他就是鼎鼎大名，家喻户晓的EPF公积金。再次用cimb itrade来找，结果有160多间。但是要追踪这个大庄家的股票不容易，因为他是个好动儿（super active），每天大量的转手。这里的资料只是大概，只供参考。

排行榜

坐拥1400多亿的公积金投资在马股，当中最高的20名是Maybank, Pbbank, Tenaga, CIMB, RHBCap, SIME, PChem, Axiata, Petgas, Digi, MBSB, KLK, HLBank, SKPetro, Ambank, Maxis, IHH, MISC, IOICorp 和UMW。其他公司的总和占25%。
