I watch it live and noticed.... alot of high volume sell at 0.5 and low to 0.3... then continous 300 buy in high volumne at 0.3.... something very fishy
When all MAS-OR rights are being subscribed,the market float of shares will ballooned up. Don't expect the current mother share price will be sustainable when the rights shares are listed together with the mother shares. Those days they were being traded separately but not sure with today's case. Meaning to say:MAS-OR not entitle to dividend,parent shares MAS entitled to dividend. Anyway,investors can do your part in national service which is part of their strategy.
Warren Buffett says airline industry has 'all the ingredients of a bad business'
Long story short: for a flight carrying 100 passengers, all of the profits are provided by a single passenger. It takes 29 passengers to pay for the fuel for the flight, by far the biggest cost component. Fuel is an even bigger portion of long international flights; about one-third of the total cost.
Next after fuel is personnel expenses: 20 passengers are needed to cover the salaries of the pilots, flight attendants, ground crew, etc. Unions make it difficult to get around this factor. Even discount airlines end up having to raise salaries if they do not want to risk losing experienced personnel or having strikes or other profit-draining labor problems.
On the revenue side of the income statement, about 80% comes from ticket sales. The rest comes from fees for checked baggage, ticket penalties, and other surcharges. That is not an insignificant amount: baggage fees alone accounted for $3.4 billion in the U.S. airline industry. Ticket penalties amounted to $2.4 billion.
The tight margins, needless to say, turn up on the balance sheet and income statement of all air carriers. The profit margin for China Eastern Airlines is only 5.55%. For US Airways, it is only 1.75%. Tam loses money with a negative profit margin of 2.21%. TAM and CEA’s heavy debt load makes them even more uncomfortable for investors in airline stocks.
This is why it’s so hard for investors to make money in airline stocks. Even Warren Buffett has lost heavily from his investment in US Airways, which has filed for bankruptcy twice.
ktrader:MAS-OR forms are available for sale in open market from the ex rights date for 14 days. If the MAS has heavy debts and can't afford to borrow some more to subsribe,why not sell the forms to the rakyat and share some of the cronies debts.
Looks like Mas ex rights will be closed to 23 sen. As its Or is only 3 sen.

MAS share unlikely to be stable until right are subscribed and listed. Additional 4 times the current listed shares will drive the shares lower till 23 sen methinks or lower if weak holders decide to liquidate after subscribing to the rights.
Just to enlighten you,most foreign institutions as well as we poor man in the street got caught in this counter between the range of RM1.20 to even near RM2.20 during their early fake news. So you can imagine the number of OR papers in the hand of the public as well. Many will even say phui..phui,what for subcribe,get some cash in better,sell the forms.
ktrader:Wonderful,you bought exactly on ex rights date.Did you pay cash on the spot or waiting T+3 then close position or pick up? This trick tak bolih pakai le. In this instance you better sell,buy the rights form in open market and participate by enriching the bankers,stamp office and paying your own transport charges. Or wait till XALL listing date and be an aggressive speculator on this penny stock which will give you many rounds of thrill.
those bought higher price (>=$1.0) need fork out much money scbscribe OR but yet average price still high... sigh. When can mas become rocket up (not DAP) :P
Ha..ha..talking about rocket,MAS will buy some old rocket space capsule from Kazakhstan in the Ukraine,refurbished it and sell to Ghana in Africa. This will jack up the book value and deceive investors like what they did before with old aircraft engine.
Renounceable rights issue of up to 13,368.6 million new ordinary shares of RM0.10 each in MAS (“RIGHT SHARE(S)”) on the basis of four (4) Rights Shares for every one (1) existing ordinary share of RM0.10 each in MAS held by MAS' shareholders whose names appear on MAS’ Record of Depositors as at 5.00 p.m. on 6 May 2013 at an issue price of RM0.23 per Rights Share.
Kindly be advised of the following :
1) The above Company's securities will be traded and quoted [ "Ex - Rights Issue" ] as from : [ 2 May 2013 ]
you already see the power of crony please don't doubt about their ability, possibly tomorrow MAS-OR will surge to 1.00 after bursa have a current trip :)
ktrader:(30.4.13) cum Rights-price trading 0.68(if you buy here=entitled) (1.5.13)Labour Day (2.5.13) X rights=0.365 (T+1)-buy here not entitle (3.5.13) X rights=0.360 (T+2)-buy here not entitle (6.5.13) X rights=0.405 (T+3)-buy here not entitled but those who book flight on 30.4.13 must pay by 5:00pm this day.
