There’s no reason why any business would need a helpful government in order to succeed. All it needs is a level playing field. This goes for people’s careers, love lives, and yes, even their trading. Unfortunately this is not happening in Malaysia, which is why stock market punters are so fixated by what the government and its cronies are doing. It seems that to be a good trader in Malaysia you have to first qualify as a political commentator for CNN, and very few trading discussions these days can avoid descending into speculation on what our friends “up there” are doing or thinking.
I will leave you to determine whether any of the counters in this report suffer from that affliction, or whether they do indeed represent true value.
