OIL and gas counters have been in the spotlight of late, as many of them recorded dramatic increases in their share prices, and then fell as investors took profit.
At the forefront of all the attention, however, was O&G support services provider Dayang Enterprise Holdings Bhd.
Since the beginning of the year, Dayang skyrocketed by a spectacular 216% until mid-March, after which it fell some 23% over the past week.
As would be expected, social media and online forums were abuzz with heated discussions on whether or not to hold on to the stock.
The discussions took a sensational turn, however, following a series of blog posts by prominent investor Koon Yew Yin.
Koon, who is known for making big bets on certain listed companies and then promoting them through his blog or during road shows, was seemingly irked by three research houses turning cautious on Dayang and downgrading the stock – leading to a plunge in the share price.

What he's doing is wrong. In fact, he should be investigated and not these brokerage firms. He's using the social media blog to promote his shares after buying it earlier. This is a form of stock manipulation because he will not tell you when he is selling but encourages you to buy his stock. Isn't this stock manipulation?
