40m were sold as announced by Epf under sbl. The buying under sbl adds up to 55.7m. Why the difference? Thamks

Seek, thank you for your comment.

The 40 million announced on January 5 were not the only SBL transaction EPF did. They did a number of other transactions before New Year, in December.

Thanks Ben. Bought TG Singapore today at 2.02. Start ball rolling. Hopefully can help.

Thanks Ben for yet another important update on this ridiculous position that has become a great disease to our TG. You can certainly be that hero that fire up our retail investors to do a GameStop rise for TG! Time is ripe to shoooo away those shorties!

cpchuan, katsul51, Seek, CJkenho, Anthem2, calvin69, thank you for your comments.

Seek, that was most certainly a good arbitrage opportunity, if you want to use it as such, since yesterday was a holiday in Malaysia.

Anthem2, yes, it is unclear how much of that SBL amount was used in December though, and unfortunately based on the very limited amount of disclosures required by Bursa, it is very hard to extrapolate anything resembling an accurate estimate.

There is always institutional short sellers waiting on the sidelines especially in the mature stock market cycle.

@Ben
If I used a nominee account to buy the shares and hold, does it mean my borker can lend out "my" share in SBL?

This week buy back. Next week short again.

newbie8080, lkoky, trading2019, sensonic, thank you for your comments.

lkoky, that might depend on the agreement you have signed with your broker when you have subscribed to their brokerage service. I advise you to check with them on that.

never heard of Ben Tan before and i think he is famous overnight in analysing. Can open shop already. Very good in analysing .In future I think he is going to have a lot of followers. Thumbs up.

cutie, thank you for your comment.

I don't plan to open shop. My knowledge is limited, but I like to share my findings, hoping they would benefit others, and hoping through discussion I could also gather constructive opinions from others. I believe in the long run this is a lot more valuable than "selling" services for a fee.
