The 1,243-day Streak thus far has reaped over $300,000!

 $305,313.36 to be exact, including July securing 2.7x more than a tepid June & 4.8x more than a even thinner May that threatened to drop below $1,000 for the first time since May '22 & before that, May & Feb '20 and Oct '19. 


This past month's take was also just $3.94 short of last July's income, thanks mainly to heavy dividend payments & the contributions from 🎌Omron & 🎌 Toyota🗾 both of which have since corrected downwards.


Paper Gains still avaliable: Kawase, Koh Bros, YTL, Nestle, IJM, PBA, Econach, Shinto, AeonFin ;Moderate to High Probability trading ideas to propel the run further: EUPE, SHL, KLK, RhoneMa, INTC, Sa Sa, BIDU

Miraculous Record :Nippon Felt 日本フエルト Wraps Up the Month with a Double !!!! {31 Jul '25}

 


After the tightfisted, slow & sliding market in Nippon Felt 日本フエルトshares denied me a win for 7 long years, it incredibly delivers TWO days in a row to wrap up July, the sixtieth month in my cherished marathon streak, todays batch presciently SOLD minutes before the tepid results were released!

Miraculous Record : Difficult 🗾 stock, Nippon Felt 日本フエルト finally delivers after over 90 months to move Beyond 60 Months in the Streak !!!! {30 Jul '25}

 

First purchased in January 2018 & averaged down with 1.5x the original quantity at a price 13% lower last year just before the March dividend, Nippon Felt 日本フエルト unexpectedly offers a window to extricate myself & I sell 2/5 of my 7.5-year sore test of faith after fifteen dividends pay for all transaction costs...it takes the baton from last week's record-equalizing #23 in the form of 🎌 Toyota トヨタ to set a fresh high of 24 winners from the islands this year, overhauling '23's old peak !

Miraculous Record : RhoneMa Doubles Up 2 Consecutive Days to Clinch the 5-Year Holy Grail !!!! {29 Jul '25}

 

An almost unimaginable landmark attainment, much needed in the depressed local market conditions, reached rather surprisingly thanks to a stock that has been absent for three-and-a-half years : recently acquired Rhone Ma is entirely disposed first at 69.5c yet again, and then finally at 65c near the close to achieve the dream result of 60 whole months in the lifetime marathon, heralding the approaching 31-year Anniversary mark of my involvement in financial markets!

Miraculous Record : New #68 RhoneMa Brings the Marathon to the Brink of 5 Whole Years !!!! {28 Jul '25}

 

The veterinary supplies outfit returns for the first time since early 2022 to nail down 1,240 days consecutively in the astounding, unbelievable, miraculously synchronistic run [paired with a fresh combined tally record of 1,308 points] thanks to a partial sale into unusual robustness, due to the surprise Friday announcement of a $15 million contract awarded. However, after quickly calculating the jump in market cap after the first few minutes of the market open, I figured the $22 million increase rendered the rise overdone & thus I pared my stake bought at 61.5c in late June for 69.5c, 69c & finally 70.5c later in the morning.

The sale proved prescient on hindsight since the price slid with a whimper down to 65.5c by the close, up just 4c compared to a 12c intraday rise at its highest. Thus, the combined score attains an all-time high while I eagerly await the 5-full-year mark to be attained tomorrow with 3 tepid Japanese paper profits, 3 S'porean ones, 1 in Hong Kong & about 3-4 locally left to hold the fort!

I almost committed a big boo-boo by queueing to buy the out-of-the-$ warrants at 8c after spotting a big block of over 150,000 shares queueing at the limit-up price of 91.5c pre-market, figuring that my cost would be only 80c after conversion if the price actually opened that high. As often happens, the big block was withdrawn less than 30 seconds before 9am as were the small buy orders ranging from 80c - 85c & it opened at just 65c, keeping the warrants out the the money at ANY price!  Somehow, there were still aggressive buyers of the warrants from 6-8c throughout the day....I hope they know what they're doing!

Will 東京機械製作所 [TKS] again revive after a 3rd 3 year decline?

 


  Despite being in the sunset industry of newsprint, the stock is 90% down from its recent '21 high and is somewhat beyond the 4-year cycle of lows seen in late '12, early '16 & early '20, yet has reported book values that have  advanced from  
¥863.6 to ¥925.9 ¥1,010.9  since 2 years ago while CAR improved 6% points since then to 56.2%, accompanied by uneven yet positive profit figures & rebounding EPS spotted in the most recent 3 consecutive quarters. 

Debt has dropped from miniscule to ZERO and it seems like a prime candidate to either be taken over by its 25% shareholder, a unit of the powerful Yomiuri Shimbun group or subject to a possible ramp as an individual Akihiko Ota, possibly a professional speculator with deep pockets, has been building his stake beyond 9% after first emerging as a 5.1% holder in early '25.  The company itself has been an aggressive purchaser of its own stock, corralling 655,300 shares [ 7.51%], up from 3.2% in 2016. Amazingly, its market cap is 46% below its ¥6.241 billion cash pile in '23, equivalent to ¥715 per share! The FY '25 figure is closer to ¥866 per share, not counting the ¥29 in equities & ¥204 in land !  Total assets are under ¥15 billion, down significantly from ¥58 billion in 1998 but CAR [ @ under 30%] was also roughly half the current figure & book value was only marginally higher. Interestingly, the co. has 35% more assets than in 1976, when the market valued it at ¥7.5 billion versus ¥3.35 billion now.

Other possible catalysts for a rise are the revival of printed newspapers in the coming years due to the negative effect of e-reading on the young generation as seen in a Nordic country, as well as the possible growth from its expansion to India.

The main drawback of this investment is that there is no dividend likely forthcoming to compensate holders for the gestation period, though a payout is not impossible if long-suffering Econach, which paid me a ¥5 dividend, its first since 1969 on improving profitability, is used as a role model.

A conservative target is the  ¥599-639 resistance zone created in 2023, on its last big rebound, followed by ¥798 within 15 months & 28 months respectively.

Seven & I セブン&アイ is DUMPED by Erstwhile Suitor Alimentation Couche-Tard!

 Below are its stats & stock charts from 1998 & 2001 after the Dot.com bust:

Given the 1:2 share split in 1999 & the 1:3 split last year, the price today [-9%] is roughly where it was just before the parabolic rise from mid-late '99 which was revisited from mid-'00 onwards as the bubble deflated.  In the quarter century since then, the company's revenue has tripled while EPS is 4.3x higher than the adjusted 
 ¥ 24.65 figure in 2000.

Singapore Post May be in a Short-term Uptrend to 70 cents until the 29th July last cum-dividend day, within a Long-term Upmove Potential on Asset Divestment Expectations

 

SingPost's balance sheet has morphed over the past two decades:debt has increased a net 16% while cash has more than quadrupled of late compared to 2005

Due mainly to its divestment of an Australian logistics arm, the company has recently turned +ve net-net [ by S$126.739 vs (S$953.925) the previous financial year] accompanied by a reversal from net debt of S$350.39 mil to net cash of S$346.86 mil for perhaps the first time ever & this may foreshadow more dividend payouts beyond the 9 cents special dividend upcoming in less than a month's time, which is likely to propel the price up to a possible 70 cents driven by cash-rich household dividend seekers.

State sovereign fund Temasek used to hold just under 31% via Singtel shortly after its 2005 IPO but now holds a whisker over 22% after appearing to be re-increasing its stake via a 200,000 share purchase in June, while Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba went the other direction & trimmed its stake from 14.56% to 11.34% at a loss of about S$350 million from its entries of S$1.42 & S$1.74 in 2014 & 2017 respectively, down to its disposal price of 46 cents in June '24. 

If further divestments are made by the company, especially of its huge SingPost Centre landmark with a market value of almost 49 cents per share, the next technical resistance band of 88 - 93 cents could be easily attained, followed by 99.5c!

Risk factors include its low single-digit operating margin & lack of an imminent turnaround in its core postal delivery & logistics businesses.

Miraculous Streak : Koh Brothers scores a FIRST to open a brand new month of July !!! {1 Jul '25}

 


A most improbable 2 foreign [🇸🇬] scorers in a row from the same jurisdiction, with construction co. Koh Brothers debuting after a maiden punt almost 3 years prior that was down virtually the entire time until the price almost doubled within the last few months, allowing my #62 to corral another unbelievable record heading into 60 months of coming full circle in the making!!!
