Folk, the short-term impact of private placement on share price is that share dilution often results in a decrease in share price, particularly in the near future.

While the long-term impact on share price is not as certain and is influenced by how well the company utilizes the additional capital raised from the private placement.

However, the motivation for raising additional funds may be an outstanding opportunity for rapid growth as the private placement can help the company make the most of it and as a result, the eventual extra profits realized from the company's expansion may push its stock price substantially higher, folk.

It's possible that the subscriber for the 4th tranche is lowering the share prices to obtain a cheaper price for private placement.

Time will be the judge to that folk.

Good morning folk.

Still having a month buy Q at 0.130, 0.125 & 0.120 sen. Finger crossed 🤞

Folk, what Are the Characteristics of Weak Hands?

i). Lack of Experience
This lack of experience can result in impulsive decisions driven by emotions rather than logic, causing inexperienced investors to panic and sell during market downturns. Consequently, their risk assessment is skewed, and they may overlook potential long-term gains in favor of short-term gains or losses.

ii). High Risk Aversion
Investors with weak hands tend to have a high risk aversion, making them susceptible to emotional decisions driven by fear rather than rational behavior. Consequently, these investors often miss out on potential growth opportunities as they prioritize capital preservation over capital appreciation. The fear of losing money also tends to magnify their emotional responses to market volatility, causing them to panic sell during downturns and potentially miss out on the subsequent recovery periods.

iii). Short-term Thinking
Weak hands often focus on short-term gains or losses, overlooking long-term investment strategies and risk management practices. By constantly reacting to short-term market movements, individuals may miss out on lucrative opportunities that require patience and a strategic long-term outlook. It is essential for investors to resist the temptation of quick wins and instead focus on aligning their investment decisions with their long-term financial goals to achieve sustainable and consistent growth over time.

iv). Emotional Decision Making
Emotional decision-making is a common trait among weak hands, leading to impulsive actions such as panic selling during market downturns. When emotions take control, individuals may overlook their long-term investment goals and react to short-term fluctuations. Consequently, panic selling can lead to significant losses and missed opportunities for potential gains. Understanding the impact of emotions on investment decisions is crucial for investors to adopt a disciplined approach and avoid falling prey to market volatility.

Folk, why Do Weak Hands Matter?

Weak hands are placing bets rather than investing. They tend to be easily spooked by price changes, and they often tend to buy at the peak and sell at the trough.

These investors lack the conviction to withstand market volatility and are easily swayed by fear and uncertainty. For example, during a minor market dip, weak hands may hastily sell off their holdings out of panic instead of holding steady. This knee-jerk reaction can lead to missing out on potential long-term gains that could have been realized if they had maintained composure.

Folk, how can investors protect themselves from Weak Hands?

Investors can protect themselves from Weak Hands by diversifying their portfolio, having a long-term investment strategy, and not succumbing to market fear and panic selling.

Folk, what is an example of Weak Hands in action?

An example of Weak Hands in action would be during a market downturn when investors sell off their stocks out of fear, causing a further decline in prices and potentially creating a buying opportunity for long-term investors.

Folk, can Weak Hands be beneficial to the market?

While Weak Hands may contribute to short-term market volatility, their quick selling can also provide buying opportunities for investors with a long-term investment horizon.

Folk, what are the signs of Weak Hands in the stock market?

Signs of Weak Hands in the stock market include a high volume of selling, a rapid decline in stock prices, and a lack of long-term investment strategies.

Folk, how do Weak Hands impact the market?

Weak Hands can create volatility in the market as their tendency to sell quickly can lead to sudden fluctuations in stock prices. This can also lead to an overall decrease in market stability.

Folk, what Does Weak Hands Mean?

Weak Hands in finance refers to investors who lack conviction in their investments and are quick to sell their holdings when faced with market volatility or uncertainty.

When a market maker is trying to fill a large fund buy order, sometimes they may not have enough shares.

They start to gradually drop the share price in order to “scare” people into thinking the company has a problem.

Weak holders will sell up, and the market maker continues to drop the price until enough weak holders have relinquished their shares.

The market maker then fulfils its large order and returns the share price to where it started.

Be eagle-eyed for all news relating to companies you hold shares in, and you’ll be better able to spot tree shakes and not get caught out.

People with weak hands vs. strong hands when the tree is shaken.

Investors with weak hands tend to be impulsive and fearful, while those with strong hands have greater financial stability and a long-term perspective on market fluctuations.

Strong hands often maintain conviction in their investment strategies and are less prone to reactive market behaviors.

Big traders and dealers often capitalize on weak hands’ predictable behavior and they strategically buy when weak hands sell, exploiting their reactions to drive market movements.

Strong hands traders are better capitalized, less emotional, and more focused on long-term trends. They often trade large positions and do not rely on precise short-term levels.

Weak hands are placing bets rather than investing and they tend to be easily spooked by price changes.

Investing in the stock market can be a great way to grow your wealth, but it can also be a risky business. One of the biggest risks investors face is market manipulation.

This is when someone tries to artificially influence the price of a stock in order to make a profit.

Since market manipulators often profit from day-to-day stock movements, investors with long-term portfolios, who don’t engage in market timing, are largely insulated from the impact of market manipulators’ schemes.

1). What is a Market Maker?

A market maker or liquidity provider is a financial institution or individual trader that quotes both a buy and a sell price in a tradable asset held in inventory, hoping to make a profit on the difference, which is called the bid–ask spread or turn.

When a buyer's bid price meets a seller's offer price or vice versa, the stock exchange's matching system decides that a deal has been executed. In such a system, there may be no designated or official market makers, but market makers nevertheless exist.

Market makers make a profit from the bid-ask spread and the difference between these two prices represents the market maker’s profit.

2). Market Makers Manipulation

While their primary role is to match buy and sell orders and maintain a fair and orderly market, there have been concerns and allegations of market manipulation involving Market Makers.

It’s important to note that not all Market Makers engage in manipulative practices, and most of them operate with integrity.

It seems the market maker can't create panic to make the share price dropped to 0.145 sen and below for the large investors to collect as strong hands are not tricked by the "Tree Shake".

Thus, large investors will now have to buy shares at 0.150 sen or higher due to the knowledge of a significant and exciting announcement that is just around the corner.

Tree Shakes – if you hold shares in a company and the price starts to drift downwards, you need to check two things.

Firstly check the date and make sure it is not ex-dividend day – your share price will drop by the same amount as the dividend, and this is fine.

Secondly, scour the news for reasons why the share price might be dropping.

If you can’t find any good reason, then the chances are that you are witnessing a “tree shake”.

When a market maker is trying to fill a large fund buy order, sometimes they may not have enough shares.

They start to gradually drop the share price in order to “scare” people into thinking the company has a problem.

Weak holders will sell up, and the market maker continues to drop the price until enough weak holders have relinquished their shares.

The market maker then fulfils its large order and returns the share price to where it started.

Be eagle-eyed for all news relating to companies you hold shares in, and you’ll be better able to spot tree shakes and not get caught out.

Following the Sarawak Premie city tour, he will witness the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the Sarawak Energy Bhd, Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company, and Gentari (Petronas).

This strategic partnership will focus on exploring the potential for developing the world’s largest floating solar photovoltaic (PV) project, with a capacity of up to one gigawatt, at Murum Dam in Sarawak.

AIZO to play a crucial role in supporting infrastructure, including the construction of a floating solar farm?.......Hmmmm, everything is possible, isn't it?

Total acquired units: 277,850,000 at an estimated price of Rs. 0.1565 per share.

Will the Executive Chairman buy more to boost his stake?

Owning a great company with great future prospects at a good price is an opportunity that should not be ignored.

From what I can tell, the fourth quarter of 2024 is starting off well and will continue into 2025.

The next private placement to fix the price of the remaining tranches will be much more expensive compared to the first and second tranches.

How do SPV benefit LPs?

Greater access to investmen: SPVs allow individuals to pool their capital and invest smaller amounts.

Direct investments typically have higher minimum investment amounts. 

Better options: LPs often choose funds based on the GP managing it and the investment thesis governing the fund, but don’t have any say on what investments are made by the GP.

SPV let every individual know what each investment is – which means no LP has to be a part of an investment they aren’t interested in. 

What is the benefit of investing in an SPV as an investor? 

SPV become beneficial to investors when an LP wants to invest in one specific company, or a General Partner (GP) comes across a promising investment while they don’t have a fund at their disposal.

As with traditional venture funds, SPV charge management fees and carried interest. SPV however, call all capital upfront instead of on different occasions throughout the lifecycle of the fund.

How do SPVs work?

Once an SPV has finished raising capital, it makes a single investment in a start-up, sending a single fund transfer to the company they’re investing in.

The LP is an investor in the SPV, and the SPV is an investor in the company.

"Aizo MOU with Netrunner, a Special Purpose Vehicle focused on attracting investments for a state-of-the- art data centres park in Sarawak, Park".

What is an SPV limited company?

SPV is a legal entity created to allow investors to pool their money together to invest in a single company.

When an Limited Private (LP) invests in an SPV they become a “member” of the SPV. The LP invests capital in the SPV, for which they get a percentage of membership interest.

The solar plant is expected to generate approximately 22GWh of clean and renewable energy.

Will this financial quarter be better compared the previous quarter?

I would personally say it will be a good financial quarter for Aizo under Abang and the best is yet to come. Remember folks, Rome wasn't built in one day.

Knowing the potential to turn Aizo around, Abang will not be the only person acquiring more.

His group or gang, which has something in common with Azio's endeavor, will definitely buy slowly but surely and increase their holdings gradually.

Total acquired: 277,850,000 units
Estimated total cost: Rm 43,485,750.00
Estimated buying at Rm 0.1565 per share

Substantial shareholder After the Proposed Private Placement and, After conversion / exercise of
all convertible securities: Abang direct holding of 272,000,000 units will be diluted to 10.56%.

Will he buy more directly or indirectly?

Hence the approved and ongoing tranches of private placement are indicating that the selected investors are enthusiastic about Azio's future endeavor.

So folk, if you’re the Executive Chairman of Azio considering raising money via a private placement, first make sure you have a solid business plan that provides a strong case on why institutions would want to invest in your business:

1. What is it about your company that is unique and sets you apart from the competition?

2. How will you grow profits consistently over the long term, year in and year out?

3. Have you and your partners invested your own money in the company? In other words, do you have some “skin in the game”?

4. Do they have experience in growing similar businesses in your industry and providing a solid return for owners and investors?

5. What about your industry? Is it on the rise (think social media or green technologies) or in decline, such as travel agents and film manufacturers, which have virtually been replaced by the Internet and digital technologies?

6. As RE capacity is set to continue its upward trajectory over the next five years, what is your future action plan? Can you find enough land for your project? Do you have the resources?

7. Do you have good rapport with shareholders, government regulators, business partners, suppliers, and customers?

There you go folk!

There are several advantages to using private placements to raise finance for business. They:

• allow Azio to choose their own investors – this increases the chances of Azio having freindly investors with similar objectives and means investors may be able to provide business advice and assistance, as well as funding.

• allow Azio to make a return on the investment over a longer time period as private placement investors will be prepared to be more patient than other investors, such as venture capitalists.

Folk, a business obtaining investment through private placement is also not required to give up a seat on the board of directors or a management position to the group of selected investors.

Instead, control over business operations and financial management remains with the owner.

Folk, issuing private placement isn't always that bad too.

When a company issues new stock, it is usually in a positive light, to raise money for expansion or investment capital to fund large projects and new ventures.

The bottom line, the motivation for raising additional funds may be an outstanding opportunity for rapid growth.

The private placement can help the company make the most of it.

As a result, the eventual extra profits realized from the company's expansion may push its stock price substantially higher.

Therefore folk, by issuing additional stock for sale, shareholders' ownership in the company is reduced, or diluted when these new shares are issued.

That may lead shareholders to believe their value in the company is decreasing.

But on the positive side, Abang with a large chunk of stock of +-15% and who is still actively acquiring more through the open market can often take advantage of shareholders that own a diluted smaller portion of the company after the private placement.

Folk, share dilution happens when a company issues additional stock for sale to few selected individuals or corporate entity, or to a small group of chosen investors to raise funding, relatively quickly and easily, the capital needed to grow and advance their businesses.

Chosen or selected investors typically involved in private placement issues are either institutional investors, such as banks and pension funds, or high-net-worth individuals such as close personal friends of a director.

Bursa Securities had, vide its letter dated 19 September 2024, approved the listing of and quotation for up to 234,072,000 new ordinary shares for Private Placement.

Private placement of shares refers to the sale of company shares to the investors and institutions selected by the company, also called accredited investors.

Accredited investors include:
Financial institutions
Private business development companies
Directors, executives, or partners of the firm
Individuals with a net worth of more than $1 million, excluding the value of their primary residence.

I do believe the private placement will to go the right friendly investors & Abg would also increase his stakes in due time.

Personally I do believe Azio will shine soon in the good hand of Abang as the Captain.
