After slightly dropped in May - June, in the last two months the Jakarta
Composite Index (JCI) continue to rise until closed at 5,199. If the uptrend
continues, it is only a matter of time before the JCI would break a new high (the
highest position of JCI is 5,251, which was reached in May 2013). In a bullish
period like today, almost all of the stocks gained significantly. However,
shares in the oil palm plantation sector declined about 10% (in average) in the
last two months, while their financial performance in the second quarter of
2014 was fairly good with growing net income. What's wrong?
How to Build a Passion in Investing
In this Sunday, since my wife took our children to watch the ‘Agustusan’
(Indonesian term for a various of fun races in commemoration of independence
day), while I myself is less interested to join any races, so I stayed at
home, spending my time by reading any writings on the internet. In addition to
reading everything about the world of financial especially about investing in
the stock market, I also like football, culinary, and especially: History. If
there is a test in which I should mention the names of Emperor of the Han
Dynasty in China, then I would be able to answer it completely, ranging from
Emperor Gaozu as the founder of the dynasty, until Emperor Xian as the last. From
this, I got the idea to write this article, which hopefully can give you a
little inspiration.
Multi Indocitra: Another Value Stock
Multi Indocitra (MICE) may not a well-known company both in the eyes of
investors and the public in general, but this company is a manufacturer of one
the most famous brand of baby needs in Indonesia: Pigeon, as well as cosmetics with the same brand. MICE also had had
a side business by making energy-saving lamps with brand 'Hori', but it seems
that the business was failed.
Dollar Cost Averaging: Trick of Buying in Installments!
If you are googling the word 'Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)' on the internet,
the definitions of the word may vary. However, my definition of DCA is,
‘Continuously buying a particular stock, little by little, with the aim to own
the shares as much as possible’. If you already own a sizable share, then what?
Well, you can just hold the stock. The profit you seek is no longer in the form
of rising price of your stock, but the annual dividends distributed by the company. When you own a particular
stock in small amounts, then the dividend may be too little. But a large
ownership of a company, of course, will produce large dividends.
