Recycling some of the profits from momentum trading techs into TAKAFUL, 3.25 is an okay price long term, near its natural "base", unless any massive black swan events happen. Waiting for my delicious RM0.20 dividend year end. Many investors despise TAKAFUL because its share price had essentially gone nowhere over the past few years, but the negative sentiment reinforces my conviction that those who want to leave has already left. This is a safe place to be in for the long term, I don't care about capital gain when you invest in a strong dividend stock, be honest with yourself, go elsewhere if you want fast money
Not really. 3.20-3.4+ is the “natural habitat” for Takaful to hover around. I believe it is the “default” range set by institutional investors. Movements within this price range is purely algorithmic I believe and thus, can be completely random/unpredictable. No edge in trading this range, only attractive if it gets below 3.10 or goes above 3.6 (trim some tactical position)
Interesting corporate proposal to raise funds from Mr Ong. Retail investors with fond memories of the Covid era will remember what was the knee-jerk, market reaction to Eddie’s PP news. Granted, this is a “stable, normal” REIT stock, but still, happy to see his involvement
Note: It is not difficult to observe that TAKAFUL, being a semi/mid tier "blue chip", is heavily guarded by local institutional funds. Movements are "computerised" or "unnatural" to say the least, hence it is futile to try looking at short-term share price movement to optimize entry/exit.
Personally, I compartmentalize and swing a "tactical" portion of my total holdings (eg. 20%). Selling when prices are apparently overextended and buying back at lower prices. I did this late Feb when markets were showing weakness, trimming at 3.40+ and buying back when the Iran war started (3.1-3.2). I've also trimmed this tactical portion at around 3.5 2 days ago. This is purely to
1)Try optimizing your cost price basis
2) Feel "involved" when my fingers feel itchy to trade
By no means it is significant or viable over a long term horizon
