The year 2017 was in general a great one for Bursa Malaysia. The benchmark FBM KLCI was up 9.5% on a year-to-date basis, and stocks across most sectors powered up. The technology sector continued to outperform, supported by expanding earnings and strong news flow, while oil and gas stocks also inched up as oil prices recovered to the US$60 level. So with stocks now trading at higher valuations, getting that undervalued stock pick is becoming harder. What do we buy under the uncertain environment where elections are creeping around the corner, and the Dow is closing in on the 26,000 mark. The following are stock picks from the investing community as well as StarBizWeek writers which they think will do well in 2018. https://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2018/01/20/stock-picks-for-the-year-from-the-writers/ |
