Potential multi-baggers in a volatile market: AMAL and Burwill

I have invested in Burwill (24.HK) and Alliance Mineral Assets Limited (AMAL) for their future growth, partly because of rampant insider trading in Burwill and the China government’s policy to force the car industry to produce more and more electric vehicles (EV) going forward. For Burwill, I have already reaped about 20% unrealised profit. I am sure very soon I will have paper profit from AMAL too.

AMAL has been a designated stock with almost all Singapore brokerages for a long time and Phillip Securities just lifted this trading restriction after lunch break today, 7 May 2018, and I know my patience will pay off sooner rather than later. 

Fundamentally, AMAL’s forward p/e can hit 1x in less than two years which means conservatively it can potentially be a 6-bagger or better based on the closing price of today, i.e. 37.5 cents.

Technically for AMAL, bullish belt-hold candlestick pattern just appeared, breaking past its 50-day moving average too! It has broken the nice consolidation phase and from my simple calculation, it should hit 43 cents before it finds its resistance.

Comparison between share prices of Tawana, Burwill, AMAL and Jiangxi Special Electric Motor

The comparison revealed one thing: All the four related stocks are now moving up!

To me, for AMAL, no $2.00, no sell!

More opportunities if you are a contrarian

2018 is a relatively difficult year for finding multi-baggers partly due to the following threats:

1. S&P 500 still trades at a trailing price-earnings multiple of 24, significantly above the 10-year average of 15.7.

2. The possibility of a US-China trade war
3. Tariffs on imports will raise costs to US consumers, reducing consumption and raising inflation
4. US 10-year treasury yield has been close to 3 per cent --- a level which a lot of analysts think would signal a significant reversal in equities.
5. The World cup in June 2018 will likely bring down the market by an average of 8.6% if history is something to go by.
6. The likelihood of regulations on social media and technology companies because of mounting privacy issues
7. A rise in geopolitical risks
8. Ongoing tensions in Syria

However, unless you do not have the knowledge to separate the wheat from the chaff, volatility itself can be good to those who know how to respond to it.

I still think there is still quite some time, at least a year or so, for the market to move up but the trajectory will be much more arduous this time compared to 2017. What we can do is we can wait for some quality stocks to be artificially corrected by the market and we can buy them on dips.  

I bought Valuetronics on 30^th April 18 at 74.5 cents apiece when its share price slumped by more than 25 per cent since its Dutch MNC customer reported a 1Q18 earnings miss due to weak sales at its home lighting division. Weak earnings announced by its peers as well as soft sentiment in the electronics and semiconductor sector also contributed to the share price decline. I am confident that I will make a good return being a contrarian.
