No my style to quarrel. But these clown botakpang2 and moneymakers have been hauling personal attacks and utter nonsense and lies nonstop. They have gone overboard will get the humiliation well deserved.
botakpang2, people will judge if you are telling lie . Btw, has your mama changed your soiled pampers since last night? You are really a clown to keep me entertained Hehehe….
Even if HY go down below $4 and I lose money that is non of your business. It not your money. You better jaga you get enough milk and get your shit washed than to worry for others. Hehehe…
Moneymakers, I told you already you have mental issue repeating the same nonsense over and over again. This is clear sign of mental regression. Pls go to see a doctor fast! Another advice to you is don't read too much horror ghost stories until you see ghost day and night.
To all other I3 members. I apologize for some of the humiliating messages i posted. This is very unusual of me. Those messages are simply for the benefits of the two clowns ,botakpang2 and moneymakers who don,t even have the slightest self respect and dignity. Just skip those messages as you may chose.
Usually private telegram is well control by satu leader Penganut hanya terima saja ajaran dalam group. Biasa comitee group dapat info untuk exit and willing beritahu semua penganut.
Good info harold All the while asean market is much supported tapi juga worry. Sudah 7bar hitam lagi nak hitam ? HY is low floating, esg pun 8 Opec wil jaga kawan oil dia
HY was rm4 just 8weeks ago..goreng high expecting boombastic profit but Q1 didnt perform..worse than Q4’2021..no way can stay this high price
War will end soon..have 2 understand geopolitic @ world cannot afford expensive oil..western countries will try cut dependence on russia oil but surely will be allowed back into market to lower prices
P/s: should be worried HY low floating shares..few big sell orders (syndicate run) will alrdy see 15%++ bloodbath
Hi Probability, First of all , i truly respect your perseverance and effort in getting to the bottom of the hedging issue. Many, including myself , managed to pick up new knowledge which is useful in evaluating another investment opportunity in the future.
Your explanations and the general conclusions make good sense. I also suspect that Q2 and Q3 profit will be way higher than Q1 irrespective if hedging loss is higher , same or lower. The huge jump in crack spread in Q2 will take care of any hedging uncertainty.
I only have the following to highlight (again , a laymen perspective ) : 1. Your case study is base on 100% sales hedged 1 month forward on rolling basis . I like to think that management would hedged 2 or 3 months forward as management should be more concern of uncertainty in longer future. 2. You did not consider the discount in forward contract for crude and refined. a USD2-3/bbl discount for 1 month forward is very common. 3. You only look at the refining margin swaps in your case study. There are 3 other type of commodity hedges, namely Forward priced Commodity Contracts, Commodity Swap Contracts and Commodity options contract with considerable notional sum . I appear to me that these 3 other commodity hedges are independent of the refining margin swap and may have some impact to bottomlines.
In the nutshell, the purpose of hedging are 2 folds : (a) to protect inventory losses from the effect of price falling before the sales materialized For this, the hedging gain/loss will be offset by the higher/lower cost of sales. (b) to lock in (protect) reasonably good margin of future months sales. For this, company may suffer opportunity losses when crack spread trend higher and additional profit when crack spread trend down. --------------------------------------- Probability posted : Johnzhang, would love to know your comments on this article: https://klse1.i3investor.com/blogs/2017/2022-06-11-story-h1624320379-

On point 1 & 2, frankly i do not know the meaning and implication of hedging 1 or 2 month forward. If at current market the hedging pricing are attractive, why would one want to hedge say 2 months forward.
Perhaps there is interest charges for holding longer period. Perhaps they can only close their hedging after the forward months they hedged ended. Perhaps its based on certainty when they can match the same transaction in cash market clearing current obligation of sales & purchase to existing supplier & customers.
You may clarify on this.
.............
In my basis, i simply assume that they can hedge as per current month spot rate which is attractive & effect the cash market transaction the following month as they have a steady customer and supplier base. i.e only 1 month lead time.
Further, they can be hedging weekly in smaller bundles of say 1/4 of the 3.5 million barrels ( say 0.9 million barrels) with expected closing in 4 weeks time parallel to the cash market transactions.
As such at any point in time, you can see the total refining margin swap contract value is 4 weeks value, i.e 3.5 million barrels as reported every quarter (referring to their refining margin swap contract value).
Every time, a batch of 0.9 million barrels expires, a new batch of 0.9 million barrel contract is entered. Thus, at any point in time its 4 batches of 3.5 million barrels contract still active.
On point no.3. i agree i have not investigated on the other derivative option they have.
The only consolation on this uncertainty is that if the two variables (1) crude oil & (2) refined oil price stabilizes between Q 1 and Q2 and going forward, the derivative impact will be minimal too (positive or negative).
derivative loss / gain cannot simply be recurring if the price of the above two variables are unchanging
derivative can only thrive on changes

Probability is extremely hard working.From my years of experience,i have yet to see any stock that can withstand a major correction on the dow.As the saying goes...when dow sneezes,the rest catch the cold.I wish you well.
@klee, my efforts here obviously is not to predict or effect HY price movement next week. Its for me to be sure that my thesis is correct.
I certainly agree that tomorrow HY price will likely drop considering the market sentiment and the price trend of HY recently.

Sample business transaction of HY ................................
Say John you are the Shell retailers in Malaysia
Myself and my twin brother represent HY. I deal with CASH MARKET and my twin brother deals with FUTURES MARKET.
Our sales volumetric achievable in a month is 4.0 million barrels, 1.0 million barrels per week.
1) CASH MARKET transaction done by me;
I deliver refined oil to you exactly every Friday at 1 million barrels. Every week at the same time Friday, i also buy crude oil from Petronas at the same volume 1.0 million barrels.
You pay me as per current market value of refined oil (spot price matching singapore hub crack spread) and i pay petronas as per the current brent spot price.
2) FUTURES MARKET transaction done by twin brother. You can view this exactly like stock market.
Every time i deliver 1 millon barrel to you, my brother will clear back 1 million barrels from the futures market buy selling back at current futures the 1 millon barrels he had gone LONG 4 weeks ago.
At the same time he will also clear 1 million barrels refined oil by buying back at current market the refined he had gone SHORT 4 weeks ago.
If my twin brother lost money in Futures market that he is forced to do (cover back his long and short positions) due to my cash market transaction in parallel, its derivative loss. If he had made money, then its a derivative gain.
..............
You can see from above, when the cash market and futures market operate as per above mechanism, the margin HY will secure is always trailing by 4 weeks time as per hedging they had done on futures market.
@Klee, with due respect, we are deliberating about the profitability of HY in present market environment. We are not dictating what's its share price tomorrow, a week later or a month later and we all very well understand that share price performance is affected by the broad market sentiment . When one is convinced of its earning prospect, it is then up to one when and how to buy in. Those are individual choice basing of the individual's perspective and risk appetite. There is no sure right or sure wrong. The end results matter.
while i am forced to deliver in small bundles of 1 million barrels to you, my twin brother actually has the flexibility to enter any size of hedging contract he wants based on his judgement on how attractive the margin is and its sustainability going forward
however, every time i deliver, my brother must close the position on the futures market by the same amount
if he increase the size of the contract too big, then the longer it will take for my cash market transaction to clear his hedging stakes
by looking HY refining margin swap contract of about USD 290 million, we can predict that it takes 1 month sales volume at cash market to clear this hedging
Latest reports stated that war fatigue is building up both in ukraine n its allies ,the west n russia too.The situation is extremely fluid.Everything can change in a matter of days.Will russia make a deal with the west for a ceasefire?Will sanctions remain if a deal is made?Meanwhile the inflation fires rages on,n the fed is firing on all cylinders.
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....
