Don't know what the point you write this article. Want to let others know you bought cheaper & sold higher than uncle? In the end, you still lose big in mother share & warrants.

If you want to invest for long term, buy then quietly hold it.

still cant decide whether to subscribe warrant or not, if mother remain below 70 cent, i worry that warrant might below 25 cent when listed.

just wonder if mother share hover around 70cent, what is possible price for warrant?

Posted by CharlesT > 2018-12-02 08:49 | Report Abuse

Sold jaks at 0.80+ n u save ard 0.30 or 40% at current price of 0.50

Yr cost of wa is 0.06+ 0.25= 0.31

As long as wa open above 0.19 then yr switching is ok assuming mother stays at 0.50

Every 1 cent up or down in mother share will certainly be different to every 1 cent up or down in wa in terms of percentage

So u will either make more or lose more...

Thats the levegare effect of warrant.

Mother at this level seems more attractive than the new wa....but depends on whether koon will continue to sell...not sure whether he is doing a full exit....not sure whether he is subscribing the warrants

If koon stops selling then......

Initial proposal indicated that there will be no underwriter. However, when the circular to shareholders mentioned that it may procure underwriters, I presumed that jaks warrants will be underwritten. Finally, when the prospectus came out, NO underwriters was sought.

This means that whatever warrants not taken up will not be issued. Hence, less warrants and less dilution. If the warrant is under-subscribed, the 2 directors who undertake to subscribe and those who subscribed will benefit the most. This will benefit the mother shares too as there is less dilution.

Now the price is below the exercise price and the results was poor due to timing of progress billing of vietnam ipp works, would minorities still proceed to subscribe for their warrants ? Most will think twice.

Think again, had the payment for warrants ended before the release of the results, the warrants will most likely be fully subscribed. Poor timing .... or .....

Mr Koon sold 20m shares after the release of the results. Why ? Is it really the results that scared him. Remember, he bought a huge amount of Jaks after the release of the huge loss making Q4 2016 results. Just a wild guess, is he sourcing to subscribe for excess warrants because he thinks that most minorities will opt out of subscription now.

For those who subscribe anyway would prefer the rests don't. This is also human nature.

At this point in time, those who proceed to subscribe will not sell the warrants below RM0.25 because they have the option not to subscribe now.

No. I just want a limited exposure through the warrants. If I buy mother shares, my maximum downside risk is 50 sen. If hold warrants the max risk is 25 sen. I will ignore the conversion premium, etc and just dumb dumb hold warrants.

The situation is risky. Not advisable to move too many times

========

Investor 999 Good morning Icon8888 I agreed that you have made a right decision switching mother share to wr 2 weeks ago but thing has changed cos mother share price dropped to 0.500 now, do you think investing in mother at 0.500 is better than subscribing warrant at 0.25?

No, he is not. I dare to speak on behalf of him because I have the same view as him with regards to Jaks. So, I sort of understand him. DK66 is just speaking sincerely out of his heart how he feels about Jaks (based on positive feeling of Jaks). This is exactly what I have been doing all this while. It is just that when disbelievers see what we say, they will immediately think that we have ulterior motives

In a nutshell, the colour of the glasses you wear determine the colour of the world you see

Posted by Jon Choivo > 2018-12-02 13:38 | Report Abuse

That is a very interesting way of looking at risk management.

One thing i've always found interesting is how veterans here often say they are going in big, and it turns out to be 15% and now 4% of portfolio, which is probably not what the average retailer considers big, but speaks a lot about the experience of these veterans ability to manage risk.

Anyway, lets delve a little deeper into this method.

Based on what i've read, its almost as if your risk management strategy, consist of first determining the return you expect in absolute value (Lets say RM100,000), and then using the highest leveraged (non recourse) instrument to help you get what you want in order to minimize the size of the investment relative to the fund.

This strikes me as a little inefficient, because mathematically, the most efficient method is to use the Kelly's Criterion in order to determine the most efficient bet size.

https://blogs.cfainstitute.org/investor/2018/06/14/the-kelly-criterion...

And because of this, it appears to ignore the line of thinking, where one puts the most money on what they consider to be their best investment.

But by doing so, it effectively caps the profit and the loss in absolute figures. And reduces the risk of ruin to close to zero.

From an investment perspective its a little odd.

But from a speculative perspective, if one looks at stocks etc as just numbers on a screen, does so adventurously (ie not really knowing what it is they are holding or the probabilities/expected value with a high level of confidence, but rely instead of trusting gut feeling and "feels good"), and want to maintain the ability to think straight by limiting exposure.

This works very well then.

I'm not sure if its for me, because i'm effectively 105% in equities and i like to put the most money in my best ideas.

But the allocation size definitely speaks volumes about how much confidence you actually have in your investment in jaks or others (if this is considered big).


=======
Why did I sell my shares ? Because that was the right thing to do from risk vs. reward point of view ! Let's look at the mathematics.

By holding Jaks at 80 sen, my maximum downside risk is 80 sen. But by holding warrants, my maximum downside risk over the next five years is only 25 sen (my rights subscription price).

My target price for Jaks is at least RM1.50. If that is achieved, the warrants will register gain of RM0.61, being RM1.50 less RM0.64 exercise price and then less RM0.25 cost of investment (based on conservative assumption of zero conversion premium).

If I hold mother shares at RM0.80, my upside is RM0.70 (being RM1.50 less RM0.80).

A 25 sen Warrant can give me potential gain of RM0.61 while an 80 sen mother share will give me potential gain of RM0.70. Do you really need to be a genius to figure out that it makes sense to replace mother shares with Warrants ?

Subsequently, I averaged down by buying several more batches. But for sake of simplicity, you can assume my cost is RM1.17. By selling at 80 sen, I incurred a loss of 32%. But Jaks makes up about 15% of my portfolio. So the effective impact is negative 4.8%. Not an insignificant amount, but if I didn't buy Jaks and instead bought some other shares, I might have registered some losses also (in this bearish market). So, as far as I am concerned, my exposure in Jaks is still quite manageable.

Now that I have switched to warrants, my exposure to Jaks has been further scaled down to 4% of my portfolio (being RM0.31 / RM1.17 multiplied by the original 15% exposure). Do I really need to lose sleep over that amount ? The best thing is that if Jaks price goes up, I have the exposure to enjoy the upside.

For me, as long as you manage your risk properly, it is ok to be a bit adventurous. No pain no gain.

if your portfolio is RM100K, you put 50% of your money in one stock, that is RM50k.

Is 50% big ? Yes.

But is RM50k big ? Nope. Most Malaysians can afford to lose it.

However, if your portfolio is RM100 mil (just an example, not to say that I have it), 15% of your portfolio translates into RM15 mil.

In Malaysia, RM15 mil is a lot of money. It is an amount that I will hate to lose.

So, when someone say he goes big into something by punting 15% of his portfolio, there is nothing contradictory in that statement

Is that so difficult to understand ?

Dear Ayoyo,

I do not punt or trade short term. Not because i'm holier than thou etc.

But because our time is limited, an i think what i can gain from that is probably less efficient given my life philosophy and goals.

Others may feel differently.

When i do trade or speculate. Which is essentially predicting the price in the next 3-6 months.

Its only when there is a clear catalyst, and i'm very certain my view, which is contrary to the market is the correct one. And the market is thus severely mispriced.

I punted on the Malaysia elections, betting 3% of the fund, that PH will win with 3:1 odds. I punted on Brexit, buying put options for pounds denominated in USD. and I had friends punt on the american elections, shorting the Peso against RMB.
