Stocks are simple. All you do is buy shares in a great business for less than the business is intrinsically worth, with management of the highest integrity and ability. Then you own those shares forever. I will tell you how to become rich. Close the doors. Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful.

904.HK reasonable price

market cap: 48.1 y (price: 6.01)
earning: 141 million
06 annual earning project: 141 + 141 * 1.2 = 310.2 million PE/G = 4810/310.2 = 15.5

cash and equivalent: 800m. actual PE = 4010/310.2 = 12.9

so it still a little under reasonable price range. Strategy: if it drops buy more.

Buying strategy: buy under $7.

actual PE for now:

if price = 7.2 and

06 profit = 5y (unlikely), actual PE = 16.4

06 profit = 6y, the actual PE = 13.6

06 profit = 7y, the actula PE = 12

Neff criteria: 55 + 0.005 / 22 = 2.54 < 2.6

(Earnings growth rate + Dividend %)/PE ratio
In the above formula, earnings growth refers to earnings estimated for the following year, expressed as percentage growth. Dividend yield is dividend expressed as a percentage of the stock price. Other things being equal, lower P/E ratio stocks will have higher value. Conversely, a higher P/E ratio stock may offer good value if it has a high earnings growth and dividend yield.

As a general rule, Neff tries to identify stocks that have a return ratio of two or more. If you don't find many stocks that fulfill this condition, you may use the formula to choose among the available ones.

Reasonable market cap = NCAV + 15 PE

06: 22y + 15 * (6y) = 112 y

07: 22y + 15 * (8.5 y) = 150 y

Financial position: very good
