Hi lamken, if share price is artificially pressed down, it will affect the main shareholders if they intend to sell or their shares being pledged as collateral or there is placement of shares in most circumstances.
lamken: the risk i see here is how yky will manage their 75% jcy mother shares and how much influence they have in jcy in issue of any more shares/rights. if they manage it well, they may get a bite out of ib's monies + share rise.
however, all these wont matter if jcy proves its competitive advantage and continues to give good business/dividends.
illdon: no thats not what Iam saying at all and OSK is not one of the shareholders Iam refering to. Let me put it anyway, we keep talking about what the cowboys (CW issuers) can and will do. But what about the person holding 75% of the company and the other shareholders like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley etc? Do they have an interest to see the mother go up? Will they/ can they do anything to mitigate the risks? Do they have a choice or are they just going to sit around like sitting ducks waiting to be shot?
Let me give you an example:
Current share price 1.57. The person holding 75% of JCY has 1.5 billion shares. Current worth of his holdings = 1.57 x 1.5 billion shares = RM 2.35 Billion.
Lets say hypotetihcally in the next 2 weeks (example only) the cowboys press the price down by 50%. The person holding 75% of JCY has just lost in excess of RM 1.15 billion!
If you were him, would you do anything? Does he even have a choice?
the stock market is a filthy fishy place, who know if the 75% big man borrow the share to osk or whatever ( of course, with some hefty fees ) since ''i guess '' he never want to sell the 75% at all, he just happy that all those '' market ( money ) maker '' make this stock hot and popular.
the company is making a lot of money, they dont need to issue new shares to collect capital.
who know if all those bank press the stock very hard, and then the big man suddenly announce '' take over offer '' at a very low price? just like the fuking segi...
illdon: He cannot buy back because bursa rules do not allow him to hold more then 75%. BUT other big players can buy on his behalf. The cowboys can do deals with each other to exploit the most money from the warrant but he can also do deals with other parties to protect himself and the company. Whatever the banks do he can do. Now you are going to ask me the cowboys are 4 big banks, how can he go against them, the cowboys together surely have more cash/power? Doesnt matter if the cowboys are made up of 4 or 40 banks, there is still only 500m mother share in the open market. The most important thing is who is going to control the majorioty of that 500m mother share in the market.
How come he didnt do it first time when OSK pressed price down in Feb? - You will have toread my previous comments. Bottom line is he was supposed to but the deal fell through at the last hour. Some people still think this is a convenient fairy tale on my part, butIam not going to try and prove anything to anyone here, and in fact there is 1 person on this forum who should know whether what I said was true. he knows who he is.
that gd looking guy has been silent for some time....
but lamken, although he cant buy back, the company itself can do it since it was approved in last AGM. Furthermore, he hold 75% and he can easily privatise the company with the current low price since company is making so much money. why meddle with the cowboys and sharks?
"The Proposed Share Buy-back will allow the Company to purchase its own shares of up to 10% of the issued and paid-up ordinary share capital of the Company in accordance with Section 67A of the Companies Act 1965."
The company can only purchase 10% of the 500m issued shares in the open market.
He definately can privatise at current low price, but the question is why wont he? Now go back to my question earlier, is there an opportunity with all the warrants?
So now the question is how to reduce the free float of JCY' s share in the market in order to fight back the cowboy. The options might be as follow : 1. Buying shares from the open market and keep it and never sell.
2. Use company to buy back own shares from the open market and keep it as treasury shares. (The limitation is can only up to 10 % only or equal 50 millions shares)
3. Declare higher dividend on coming quarter so that the major share holders get more money to buy more shares by using other party' s name and also force the longer term investors to hold their position longer.
4. Do a share consolidation eg 4 to 1 to further reduce the free float number of shares in the open market and also to chase away retailers (Because they can easily manipulated oop.. I am sorry to say that ) buy increase the shares price.
Above is just my opinion only. correct me if I wrong.
hmm wat if yky also bought a lot of warrants + not 'rent' shares to sharks + do nothing with his 75%? if no press down price, he profits share $ up (as minimal press-down) + warrants $ up + keep his shares.
rest 25% being cheong by retailers, sharks etc .. price up?
anyway, would prefer to see how jcy management runs the company. no results no-one want to cheong haha..
excuse my indulgent what-ifs. its a forum after all.
whether the price will surge or not actually is very much depend on the company' s performance in the third quarter (Since everybody already knew that 2 nd quarter sure will be good ). If JCY's earning is good in Q3, then everybody wil start chasing or else everybody will start dumping just that simple. If the Q3 result not up to expectations then the share price no need to be pressed down by investment banker it will naturally go south.
The warrants present an opportunity or threat to the major shareholders? - If one of the two appetizers is the announcement of LTA sealed with Seagate for multiple years, there won’t be any more ambiguity on profit sustainability, be it for Q3 and onwards. Investors, especially institutional ones may flock to buy. The situation is “exacerbated” when the cowboys start to realize that they need to hedge enough now with the mother shares instead of later (after issuing more and more CWs lately).
Lamken, as outsiders, we could only continue to deduce and guess based on information available in the public domain. There are too many what-ifs in predicting the moves of these movers and shakers if without privilege in knowing what transpire.
For example, no one would know it was OSK that pressed down the price after Q1 results if not revealed here. We could only assess market demands, impact of flood and other business information of the company by asking around industry players, professionals or friends / relatives happen to work there. This is always the disadvantage that most retail investors face. That’s why we sincerely cherish your sharing here, not only for financial gains but valuable lessons. Sorry, already side track from your initial topic.
Can JCY break strong resistance at RM1.60 today ? If it can break it today then it should go north and towards next target at RM 1.76. Go go go JCY !!!!
I just hope the major shareholder of JCY is aware of the Porsche-VW short squeeze in 2008. They should adopt the same strategy. Just get Goldman Sach to participate.
ya 1.65 is the resistance based on weekly increment. STO hasn't reach below the lower boundary. I will top in more at that point. now just watch...probably play a little
when mum goes up anak never will rise as much, when mum goes down anak will go down b the same amount.....generally speaking for call warrants, anyone noticed the same?
that is the nature of the beast but atleast the so called "market makers" should ensure it goes up and down on the same quantum relative to mum after taking into account the premium involved IMHO
for the sake of killing ime at the office...i'm bored now hahaha...for JCY-CG, the issuer increased the number of issued call warrants by 100% a few trading days after it first was listed under the pretext of " for market making"..what a con haha
