So many CW expiring on 26/Feb. With in the money exercise price.
C92 (2.935), C93 (3.424), C95 (4.344), C97 (3.854)

Why dropped like that? Uncle kena margin call kah?

Strong support at 50 SMA.

Seems like no more 'happy hour bargain sale'.

Don't know why? GenM is more difficult to drop nowadays. Everyone is waiting to buy but it only dropped 12 cents from the peak (2.82 -> 2.70).

But some of them started the buyback already.

I followed the telegram group, majority mentioned 4.10 ~ 4.20.

If followed Genting S'pore (0.95 -> 0.84), retreated about 11.5%, the best bargain is at 4.08.
But it's always very difficult to bottom fish, so maybe can consider nibbling around 4.12 ~ 4.18.

Haha...I have found out why Genting Hong Kong & other cruise line shares spiked up this week. It's because Oceania's 180-day World Cruise Sold Out in A Single Day.

Official notice from RWG
https://www.rwgenting.com/notice-16022021/

A bit funny today. RWG web has enabled the room booking for First World, Awana Genting & Genting Grand for a single day (today). The most strange thing is Awana Genting & Genting Grand indicate that the rooms are 'nightly rates'.

Why Genting Hong Kong shares up 40% today? Anyone know?

According to Singapore Eye FB posting, huge crowd keep in and out of Malaysia Food Street in RW Sentosa yesterday (CNY 2nd day).

Of course, the best time for share investors to buy is during MCO.
After the MCO, the share investors will be fatt fatt (88) riding on the bull already.
That's the real & true meaning of share investors 88 (fatt fatt).

Genting&Genm(3182&4715) Investor Discussion Group

Hahaha...yery strong support from the telegram group. If you don't consider buying now, then you end up paying higher only.....wakakaka.

Shareinvestor88 point of view is outdated. It was the view in the past (Aug ~ Oct timing). When you posted to an audience of 30 ~ 50 people in i3, you just cannot sell your idea. Broader your prospective, join the bigger telegram group, then you will know what the majority wants.

My thinking of shareinvestor88 aggressive posts in the past few days. He talked too much of cruise & consequently he has already missed the boat. I just joined one of the Genting & GenM telegram group recently & was so surprised that the telegram members have shot passed 7,300 in 3 days. i3 Genting forum readers very small only. It's only has 30 ~ 50 readers daily. You can know the viewer statistics from Youtube link.

Haha...Genting really saves a lots of money by converting the old Newburgh Mall into RW Orange County. Watch the original design of Resorts World Hudson Valley Orange County & Resorts World Sterling Forest Orange County videos to understand more.

It's not a full-scale casino but a VLT casino.
Below is the Orange County background story.

@stkoay...Near term still around 4.00 ~ 4.50. Long term, ATK mentioned about 3Q 2022 hockey stick but he said it's not related to casino. So maybe it's the life sciences division.

Anyhow, I checked the calendar & found two interesting date
a) 28 Apr 2022: Japan casino bids deadline from interested cities.
b) 2023: New York state to issue three new downtown casino licenses.

Read another comment why LKT focus so much on USA casinos.
This was due to two previous success stories
a) Foxwoods tribal casinos (for the story, just google 'The deal that built Foxwoods').
b) RW New York City https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704504204575445653971091376

Read some comments on why Genting didn't move into Macau.
The answer is yes but the odds are not turning in favour of Genting.
1) 1st attempt (2002)...Genting Star Macau failed to win any of the three Macau gaming licences
2) 2nd attempt (2007)...Service agreement with Stanley Ho & SJM Holdings did not go through (due to Singapore casino regulators resistance).
3) 3rd attempt (2020)...Genting Macau aspirations dim after Treasure Island Entertainment complex stake sale (due to Covid-19 crisis on Genting HK cruise ship business).

Happy holidays everyone!

Yes, new cases are dropping in UK & US (20/Jan ~ 26/Jan)
UK 38,905 -> 37,892 -> 40,261 -> 33,552 -> 30,004 -> 22,194 -> 20,089
US 190,939 -> 195,394 -> 195,450 -> 174,045 -> 141,192 -> 152,244 -> 137,296 (tentative)

@Zuliana...The best is to maintain neutral. Avoid buy/sell recommendation in the forum. Your Petronas KLCC Twin Towers Run is the best post yesterday.

Cut loss means cut capital.
If you bought at 4.00 last Friday & sold at 3.85 yesterday, you have lost 0.15.
To buyback Genting, the share will need to dip to 3.70.
But there is no 3.70 seller at this moment.
So don't simply cut loss by reading some trader comment

Look like the operator wants to maintain the share price in this range.
So 3.90 ~ 4.00 for today. If want to buy, must have holding power & don't simply cut loss due to some comments in the forum.

Don't know why, parent attracted a lot of retailer interest this time around. So share price fluctuates higher. In the past, parent very quiet & trading volume a lot lesser.
According to CGS-CIMB study.....Top Glove, Genting & CIMB were the top three retailer net buy in 2020, so maybe in 2021 second quarter, when the vaccination starts in M'sia, Genting will become one of the top retailer trade buy counter again.

16 trading days in 2021.....11 red & 5 green.
Will the bottom be 9.50???

Depends on the operator. Maybe the operator will want to maintain the share price at this range, just like GenM.

Full MCO? All stay home goreng shares kah?

Bottom maybe 9.50? I guess only.

@choysun...part 3/3
Even Mr. Pretlow believes there is not enough political support for a Midtown casino, saying, “Manhattan is off the map.”

Still, some lawmakers and gambling interests hope that the state’s fiscal situation might make Albany more receptive. Indeed, Mr. Cuomo said recently that he now supports legalizing mobile sports wagering in the state, a move that he hoped could bring the state an extra $500 million a year when fully in place.

Representatives for Vornado, L&L and Mr. Bailey declined to comment. The Real Estate Board of New York, which represents nearly every major developer in New York City, has expressed support for the acceleration of the downstate licenses — for the sake of its membership and the state’s fiscal health.

Any change to the licensing timetable would require approval of the Democrat-controlled Legislature and Mr. Cuomo, a third-term Democrat.

Both Mr. Pretlow and Mr. Addabbo say that the most probable option for new gaming would be to allow the two existing “racinos” downstate — Genting’s Resorts World Casino at Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens and MGM Resorts’ Empire City Casino in Yonkers, just north of the city — to simply upgrade to full casino licenses.

The two establishments have electronic slots and electronic games like craps and roulette, but no table games or poker rooms with human dealers.

The advantages of such a conversion include both a quick infusion of licensing fees, as well as new revenue from the actual gaming: The state already earns 10 percent from table games and on-site sports wagering at the four upstate casinos, as well as anywhere from 37 to 45 percent from slot machines. That money is then channeled to education funds and property tax relief as well as local governments in the vicinity of the casino.

“For me, in my district, the opportunity to have full gaming would be an economic boon, not only for Yonkers, but for all of Westchester,” said State Senator Shelley Mayer, who represents the county. “I’m fully on board for that.”

Such conversions don’t need to go through lengthy environmental review or periods of public comment.

Despite long-held resistance to a Manhattan casino, developers continue to put forth proposals to transform parts of Midtown into a mini-Macau.

L&L Holding Company began exploring the idea of a casino after the pandemic began and the economy tanked, according to someone briefed on its proposal. The company has since spoken to a number of operators, that person said. Las Vegas Sands is one of those operators, said another person briefed on the discussions. Both people requested anonymity so they could speak freely.

Las Vegas Sands has also floated the possibility of a property near the Resorts World casino at Aqueduct. Mr. Pretlow said he had also heard of interest in a parking lot site adjacent to Citi Field.

The two existing racinos — Empire City Casino and Resorts World — seem to have an inside track on getting approved for a license, including already having collective bargaining agreements with the Hotel Trades Council, whose former president now consults for Genting. In December, the union’s new president, Richard Maroko, ran an op-ed in Gotham Gazette making the racinos’ case.

Genting, which also operates Resorts World Catskills in Monticello, N.Y., the closest of the state’s four casinos to New York City, would presumably fight any proposal that would allow a competitor to open up shop in the city.

Some legislators argue that a proper open bidding process is in order, particularly given the history of the original competition to install electronic games at Aqueduct, which a state inspector general found was awash in impropriety.

“We could speed up the process,” Ms. Kruger said. “But the Legislature should have absolutely zero to do with the decision to decide who’s getting those awards.”

@choysun...part 2/3
If a plan for the legalization of full-scale casinos in the city emerges, developers say they are ready with their pitches.

“Times Square market is ripe for a high-end casino,” reads a slide in a Nov. 10 promotional deck for the L&L project in Times Square, which features renderings of attractive young people playing table games like roulette and blackjack, and an image of Celine Dion, a Las Vegas mainstay, singing to a packed crowd.

“Be the future,” it says.

The state’s upcoming budget negotiations, scheduled to begin in earnest later this month, could well be when new or expanded gaming comes into focus.

Mr. Cuomo’s budget proposal, released on Tuesday, would allow the state to put out a formal request for information from developers and gaming companies to gauge market interest in the three remaining licenses. The state intends to ask potential bidders about the appropriate size and scope of development, and the value of the license.

With the state’s fiscal problems, leaders in New York have been casting about for new revenue streams, recognizing that any aid from Washington — even with President Biden now in office — may not be enough to fill the state’s fiscal hole.

Lawmakers and casino executives say that each new license would be a windfall for the state, with a likely asking price of at least $500 million apiece.

“That’s real money, in light of a $15 billion deficit we’re looking at,” said Assemblyman Gary Pretlow, a Democrat from Westchester County and the chair of the chamber’s committee of racing and wagering. He added: “If I can raise a billion dollars without raising a penny in taxes, I think that’s a good deal.”

Mr. Pretlow’s counterpart in the State Senate, Joseph Addabbo, the chairman of the Racing, Gaming and Wagering Committee, also supports the plan to expand, saying such revenue could be used stave off a variety of painful cuts to education and health care. He said that new casinos can create much needed jobs in construction and in the gaming facilities.

In an interview last week, Mr. Addabbo added that such a license would be “gold” to casino developers, who view the New York City area as one of the last unsaturated gaming markets in the Northeast and have floated the ideas of casinos in Coney Island, Queens and Manhattan. “Who wouldn’t want a gaming license in downstate New York?” he said. “The bottom line is it’s about location.”

The reception in Albany, however, has traditionally been unenthusiastic.

“I’m not a big fan of casinos, period,” said Liz Krueger, a state senator from Manhattan and the powerful chairwoman of the Senate Finance Committee. And Brad Hoylman, the state senator whose district includes Times Square, said it “would be a fight to get me and a lot of other people to support a casino.”

A Casino in Manhattan? Strapped Developers Hope So
With commercial real estate slumping, casino interests are lobbying the state to grant early approval for city-based casinos.
By Dana Rubinstein and Jesse McKinley
Jan. 21, 2021, 3:00 a.m. ET

With New York State desperately looking for new sources of revenue, real estate developers and gambling interests are trying to revive interest in a long-shelved proposal: a casino in New York City.

The concept is hardly new. Casino operators have been seeking to capitalize on the New York City market for decades, focusing on the dense, typically tourist-rich sections of Manhattan, which they consider the holy grail of gambling in the United States.

State lawmakers and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo have traditionally opposed efforts by gambling companies to bring a casino to New York City.

But this latest push could carry more weight because of its timing — Mr. Cuomo says the state is facing a $15 billion shortfall — and its supporters, which include real estate giants that have a track record of influence in Albany.

Vornado Realty Trust has pitched the idea of a casino on its expansive holdings near Herald Square, according to two people briefed on the discussions. Vornado’s neighbor, Morris Bailey, the owner of Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, has talked with colleagues about building a casino on the site of his own Herald Square property, the former McAlpin Hotel, one of those people said.

L&L Holding Company has proposed making a casino the centerpiece of a $2.5 billion tower it is building at the intersection of 47th Street and Broadway, a 46-story development that encompasses a landmark theater and includes a 669-room hotel.

The casino proposals highlight the tribulations within the commercial real estate market, where there is significant concern about the future of office buildings now that employees have acclimated to working from home.

Tenants leased just 20.5 million square feet of Manhattan office space in 2020, a 64 percent decline over the prior year and “the lowest level experienced in at least two decades,” according to a recent report by the real estate services firm Savills.

The state is authorized to issue three new casino licenses beginning in 2023, but even before the pandemic hit last year, pressure was building to accelerate the timetable, particularly in the New York City area.

An article in The New York Times. Resorts World New York City may stand a chance to be upgraded to full casino licenses by 2023.
