Most retail investors tend to focus on P/E ratios, and when they see a "cheap" stock, they can't resist jumping in 💸. The issue is—cheap does not equate to valuable! Many low P/E stocks, appearing to be a "bargain", have already been recognized by the market for their declining patterns 🪦. This is what is referred to as a value trap.
Imagine this: you spend RM1 to buy a "cheap" stock with a P/E of 5, only to find that its business is on a downward trajectory. Before long, its EPS declines, and the stock price halves, causing your money to evaporate 💨. What seemed cheap turns out to be the most expensive lesson.
So, where is the true key to wealth? The answer is Leader!
This is the most critical "L" in the CAN SLIM investment strategy — Leader vs. Laggard.📊
Why is Leader the key? 👑
Leader = leading stocks, which typically possess:
✅ Industry leader in market share
✅ Stable and rapid profit growth 📈
✅ Innovative & product updates 🚀
✅ Price trends outperform the market (relative strength above 80)
A laggard is like a "dead weight" that fails to keep pace; it may appear inexpensive, but it conceals hidden risks ⚠️.
Remember this saying: the leaders feast while the laggards get the scraps; falling into value traps leads to direct losses! 🍲👉💔
So, what are the leading stocks on Bursa Malaysia? 🇲🇾🔥
Let me share with you...

A large majority of my positions are ETFs. The homebuilder and semiconductor industries are carrying the roster right now. I'm also moderately invested in smaller companies that I expect to see grow in the next 2-3 years.
