Agree. Div trap. Better sell cum, buy back lower ex div.

Totally agree TreeTop. But with their prospects so poor, share price post div is likely to be much much lower than the theoretical ex div price. Just my guesstimate.

Padan muka, serves you right, you get what you deserved, you asked for it, tai sei, blame no one except yourself...what else can I say TreeTop? You can try and bulldoze things through but the market will teach you a lesson. You think we are a financial hub? You are a market not many are interested in the first place, yet go and increased trading cost. Now go shiok sendiri.

Thanks TreeTop. Market has spoken today: Not good enough. You can keep it. The worse is yet to come. Unless it's a screaming buy, do not pay ridiculous high transaction cost.

Case rested. Regulators do your job and justify your high pay.

How old are you Nut? If you are elderly, you may not make it. Like Yippy said, you may need to wait a long long time.

Haha, didn't know review is another word for panicking, flip flopping, face saving, incompetent, changing goal post, etc.

TreeTop, your window dressing hypothesis is logical especially at this time of the year. But looking at this morning's behavior when somebody was willing to start buying at 6.54 fr yesterday's close of 6.46 without any material development, this is a screaming symptom of insider trading no matter how they spin it. Let's see if any material announcement this few days.

Short covering and insider trading combo, going to be very potent.

Insider trading going on. Regulators, do your job.

why the going up instead of down? something brewing? insider trading? make no sense with so low ADV and bleak future.

Look at the half day market vol today....only RM462 mil. Holiday mood notwithstanding, never seen such low vol before. Bursa is really going to suffer financially. Staff bonus first to go. Dividends will also kena. So bodoh policymakers.

Thank you TreeTop. Merry Christmas to you too. It has been intellectually stimulating having you to banter with. Cheers bro.

Unlikely to reach unless the elephant (increase stamp duty)leaves the room. Or is it all in the price as professed by somebody?

Thanks TreeTop. Not to follow them but just trying to decipher their "bodohness". Sometimes investing is not just abt analyzing financials and charts but also reading of motivations behind certain patterns and actions. Cheers.

Agree TreeTop, I also know EPF is not that smart but they cannot be that bodoh right?

EPF obviously doesn't know about the very bleak prospects of Bursa. Else why they keep on buying? Or do they know something we don't???

Many thanks TreeTop and Jeffchan. Great great info for us small investors. Cheers and make more money.

Thanks Jeffchan. When are the future QWDs? Help small investors take advantage of it and buy back later when it normalises.

MSCI rebalancing day. Monday will normalised.

wow, volume was unusually high yesterday with sharp rise in price. good results and div coming?

Not afraid but precaution is better than cure.

Some policy changes in the making. Panic already since they killed not only Bursa but the whole market.

So pitiful half day market vol today. Only RM708.5 mil. Really treated like a pariah market. Bursa will really suffer with their financials.

Sincerely want to thank EPF for pressing the price down for so long. Without them, how else can ikan bilis buy good shares at cheap prices. Many thanks again.

Just sour grape and sore loser opinion. Might as well say 1.00 or 50 sen.

True but the elephant is still in the room: ridiculously high trading cost. Unless and until that is addressed, Bursa is going nowhere. Enjoy those one off thematic days which will be very rare.

another one off high vol anomaly day. funds rebalancing. tmw will be same.

Yesterday's market vol traded of RM5.2 bil will be one off if no structural changes. It will go back to the usual less than RM2.5 bil daily.

Likely to be some flip flopping of policies in the very near future that will benefit Bursa. Realised have shot themselves in the foot and desperately trying to do damage control. Have not only killed Bursa but the entire market. watch this space.

where are the bashers, sour grapes and sore losers? always talking the price down and knowing the price of everything but the value of nothing.

Low ASP is good for taikor. kill off all the small competitors. Later buy them up cheap cheap. Easier and faster way to expand.

vcpmaster has a point. 4Q result is going to be bad with daily low volumes currently. Next year will be worst with high transaction cost. Div too is likely to be much lower. Great for those waiting to buy cheap like Treetop. But it's now a different animal already. But as they say: it's all in the price. Cheers to all bros.

If TG is 1.50, imagine the rest. Super will be 1.00, Kossan 1.50, Harta 4.00. Really god send for those waiting to buy cheap. But if another pandemic comes along before that.....bye bye.

Looks like JP Morgan is very keen on TG but hoping and wishing to buy cheap cheap. Thats why talking the price down. Beware of investment bankers. Just like politicians. Mostly crooks.

All my esteem gurus here. I am afraid Bursa is structurally damaged due to the policy changes recently. The Bursa of the old is gone forever....unless flip flopping of policies. Will go into damage control mode and switch to better stocks. Cheers.

hehe, today very strong smell of shorties kena burned or deep fried. padan muka.

why admin allow these anjing gila to bark here for so long? wake up man. do your job. ban them all.

Yummy. Anything stir fry or deep fried is delicious.

EPF is seriously not listening. Do they know something we don't? Maybe short selling going to be banned?

chartist are like fortune tellers and economists. The person who will tell you tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday did not happen today.

RM860 mil paper loss from share buy back. Does this mean don't have to pay cukai makmur or pay much lesser? The losses set off against profit. Mark to market?

Limbo rock. Lets see how low can it go before the rush in begins.

Thanks Treetop. The smell of blood is irresistible.

Treetop, your date with Bursa is getting nearer. Cheers bro.

over done due to short selling.

Thank you Passionate and Sebastian. Great info.

Diamond7, is this considered good or bad news for Perstima? Cheers.

Hope you and Bursa are destined and fated to be together. Wonderful soul mate and life partner :)

Will be flattish and worse than Q2. Q4 appears to be better.
