*DATO DR. YU KUAN CHON* In recent weeks, the share prices of HLCAP, IMASPRO, RAPID, and YNHPROP have significantly declined. According to reliable sources, the sell-off of Dr. Yu's stocks was primarily initiated by warehousers _(investors who lend money to company owners in return for monthly interest)_. Representatives from Dr. Yu reportedly failed to meet interest payments, leading warehousers to initiate the sell-off, particularly after Christmas last year.
In these circumstances, other investors who had invested with the warehousers or acted on rumors were also compelled to sell their shares due to margin calls. Brokers involved in providing margins to investors, listed alphabetically as AmBank, CGS-CIMB, Maybank, Mercury, RHB, and UOB.
Separately, it has been heard that Banks offering collateralized loans to Dr. Yu are seeking to increase their collateral size, suggesting concerns about Dr. Yu's ability to service his loans.
*LEFORM* The sudden drop in share price from 50 sen on Tuesday to 17.5 sen today resulted from a company director selling his stake at 50 sen. This prompted other investors within the same "investors group" to follow suit. This particular counter is heavily cornered, and most investors using margin financing are affected. The selling pressure from the director's share sale, along with subsequent margin calls, contributed significantly to the share price decline.
*ARTRONIQ & SCIB* Both companies also experienced declines during the same period as LEFORM. According to a reliable source, the sell-off was primarily due to a margin call by a businessman "Dato E," aiming to cover losses on his other collateralized share holdings.
*My Opinion:* Given the above, I believe that within the next 2-3 market days, certain brokers will consider tightening their margin financing policy, potentially requiring investors to top up their margin or be forced to sell below the margin of safety.
I also anticipate that the negative sentiment will impact the valuation of small and medium-sized companies. My primary concern is Dato E's situation, as my understanding is that he is highly leveraged among the brokers. Any event may trigger a domino effect, potentially leading to a market downturn. While an imminent market crash seems unlikely, I believe the impact of a margin call from Dato E will negatively affect several small and medium-sized companies. In terms of timing, I expect this sentiment to persist until the eve of Chinese New Year.
DATO EDDIE IN DANGER POSITION,,, ANYTIME LIMIT DOWN... JUST ANYTIME... GOOD BYE EDDIE
Would agree with the opinion given by Johnny Cash as Dato E is on high leverage position because he keeps acquire assets (the listed companies). But the concerned is does he has enough cash flow to continue finance the acquisition costs? Moreover to service the existing loans may be in question. Only time can tell us later. According to his interview with the reporters. the target is to acquire 7-8 listed companies every year. Any mismatch of cash flow will eventually bring to disaster.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
