This is the counter i hesitate to go in when on the day when it was announce someone offer to take it private @ $3.50. There is no time for me to think or investigate too much when the "opportunity" presented itself. This is the time of he who hesitates is lost (i.e. if it is a genuine offeror's opportunity and not bucket-shop operation). But how can i be sure?
Speculation or value investing?
The answer should be depended on who you ask?

I am guessing the answer is presented in your 'nickname'. Does it fit your temperament? Is your temperament rojak, confused, specuvesting, bold and act based on gut sense, cautious...? (the list goes on)

He who knows and stick to what he is about, while giving up what others pursue but is not true to his nature, is no fool.

Yes opportunity seldom knocks twice. Every time there is an offer in the Market to delist, i think it's an opportunity for the "Brave Ones", if the offer is genuine. To some people it is a speculative opportunity not so much value investing. To people who have been following HPL, then it's may not be speculating.
So who have speculated on CMA offer too?
The Brave Ones?

I think the only valuable advice provided by the IFA is a RNAV of $5.02 or $5.24 (gross development value valuation basis).

U decide what you want to do. IFA cover all angle liao just that they never take into account individual circumstances.
