A “sure bet” is a wager against uncertainty — and the irony is that uncertainty is the only thing that is truly certain. So, almost always, the phrase is used less about probability and more about psychology, a desire for reassurance or a shortcut around uncertainty. In fact, the phrase is often used right before failure!
With that caveat, let us present what we do believe is our sure bet for 1Q2026, one that we believe is almost guaranteed to succeed and make you big money — but (yes, a but) only if you play big and are willing to be an activist investor. In other words, this is a rare occasion where our view is not directed at the average investor but colossal investment funds such as Khazanah Nasional Bhd, Permodalan Nasional Bhd, Employees Provident Fund, Kumpulan Wang Persaraan (Diperbadankan), Eastspring Investments, BlackRock Inc, Vanguard Group Inc, Principal Asset Management Bhd, Maybank Asset Management Sdn Bhd, Hong Leong Asset Management Bhd, AHAM Asset Management Bhd and Areca Capital Sdn Bhd.
