The steel sector is a tough one to make money. Over the past 14 years (2009 to 2022) HiapTek ROE averaged 2% per annum. If you think this is terrible, wait till you see the sector average for the same period. It was negative 1%. Why would you want to invest in this sector? Well there are other gems but you have to dig deeper. For insights into the sector performance, go to https://www.i4value.asia/2021/10/a-tough-12-years-for-bursa-malaysia.html#more

If talking about 2010-2018, was mainly due to the export of Chinese steel manufacturers to the Asia countries…

Steel is s tough, competitive business requiring heavy capex. I was lucky. I got in at 0.28. Just cashed out at 0.435. My target was 0.45. Oh well. I am happy.

Your average cost for Hiap teck only 28 cents? Sold most at 43.5 cents?

No. Buy in cost. After I bought in, no more chance to average down. Sold all at 43.5 because 1) my target was a 60% upside but I cashed out because I feel that it has peaked for the moment. Better to cash out and put the $$ to another counter because the fundamentals does not look promising anymore.

Buy in cost same with average cost … Hiaptek still better than most steel counters in Bursa …. May go up to above 49-50 cents…

My principle.
Establish my target price. Establish my target SELL price.
SELL at my target SELL price or when fundaments change, whichever comes first.

I do not "chase the Dragon"

Only if they can operate the new factory efficiently and able to sell the output of the new factory profitably.

Hiaptek controlled about 28-29% of that associate company , Eastern steel … The coming quarter result will decide Hiap teck worth above 44-45 cents or go down to below 40 cents again …
