The last time Chairman bough shares was in Sept 2015 when he bought over Tat Hong's stake.
The loss of the dorm business will have a material impact as it contributes approx 20% of its net profits.
Moving forward, it is really dependent on TTJ's ability to get new orderbooks, imo, the mgmt will have to decide between reducing the profits from their bidding or stick to their current policy of high margins/low orderbook. Either way, earnings wise growth isnt much; hence one should project TTJ to be a slow grower at 3 EPS cents with about 36 cents book value.

Structural steel business still doing well..just wait for the next catalyst eg project win ...good dividend or even management buyout..as of now their order book will keep them busy till 2018..
Many buildings and train stations mrt etc still need the steel structure so new projects could be coming soon..
At 37 cents its already actuallly factor in just the structural steel business..which shld produce earnings of 3 to 4 cents a share.
The dormitory is just temporary or side business..
New 500 domitory is just the starting.. the dormitory can expand..

Just wait out and keep our fingers crossed!
1) Try NOT to LOSE money!
2) Do NOT SELL in BEAR, BUY-BUY-BUY! invest in managements/companies that does the same!
3) CASH in hand is KING in BEAR!
4) In BULL, SELL-SELL-SELL!

Since TTJ's biggest shareholder now has 294 million shares - equivalent to ~ 85 per cent.out of total share of 349.5mil.
he can easily buy the remaining 15% or 56 mil shares at just $19 to $21 mil..
The company has cash of $60 mil...and growing with little debt..
So one way is to declared another good dividend. Ie..
If a $20mil dividend declared or 0.057 cents dividend , the boss can received around $17mil..
shld be enough capital to take the company private..or do a buyout..
So just wait and see...

Hi Wind,
I too am hoping for a good dividend and maybe a buy out. But then if TTJ is able to earn 3 cents EPS and then deliver back 2 cents as dividends annually, holding on the share at current price of 0.35 is better; unless Mr Teo offers me 50 cents per share or if the shares are delisted
