Beyond 5 Years : Sime Darby re-appears after nearly 2 years to further the Record & I SCORE a Live one in 🗾 ! {2nd Sep '25}

Today is one of those wafer-thin net gain days with car conglomerate Sime Darby re-appearing for le premiere fois since Nov 2023, thanks to my remaining hundred shares averaged-down at just over $1.72 during the big sell-off triggered by the last quarterly report to bring the running cost to $1.934. As if to balance the scales, the stock recovers most of that big drop with a stellar quarter announced just days ago, where lucky buyers who scooped up shares in the low $1.60 range are raking it in!

In Japan, the subject of yesterday's blog entry Hob ホーブstuns with a limit-UP just a day after, becoming the 3rd best % Gainer out of over 4,000 securities on a day the Nikkei drops a significant 371 points & losers outnumber  gainers 2,516 to 1,574! I now sit on a 28.7% paper gain, after already securing the 50 yen dividend in June, that could enlarge significantly if the multiple stop high patterns of 2022 & 2023 [ read previous post ] are repeated!!!
