Namoyaki - How do you know I read a lot??:-) But yes, I do - must keep my mind fully occupied and stimulated or else life would be so dull. As for JCY, things had been going so well until recently, after that last quarter report. The profits are actually still okay but since investors were expecting levels of the previous two quarters, they are bound to be disappointed.
The situation is further compounded due to its popularity with contra traders - when they cut loss, the price will slide further. It will stabilise once these contracts are settled or liquidated.
But what I'm more interested in is JCY's near-medium term price potential. Now the TP of 2.00 is no longer possible - at least not in the near future. Therefore, we will have to adjust accordingly by lowering the bar - to 1.50 perhaps? Will have to wait a bit for things to settle down and let it build a solid base first.
Listing Date : 4 April 2012 Expiry : 28/2/2013 Conversion ratio : 2 JCY HA to 1 JCY Last done Price : 0.06 Exercise Price : 1.22
1. Background : JCY is an outdated industry which mainly manufactures HDD hard drive. It is listed by the means of " offer of sales", means major shareholders selling shares and keep all the proceeds. This indicates owner himself is doubtful about the future in this company. It proves correct after the IPO where co falls into the red ink.
As for offer for sale of stock, the shares that investors subscribe to are from existing company owners. Therefore, the money raised from the new investors will be channelled to existing owners, which also means the existing owners will have cashed out a portion of their investments in those companies.
Even though this does not imply that Company A is not able to perform in future, investors need to understand that the remaining 75% of the shares or 1,534 million (0.75 x 2,045 million shares) owned by the existing owners are in effect “free” to them.
If Company A is fundamentally strong with good future prospects, then investors should not be too worried about the existing owners cashing out.
However, if the fundamentals of Company A start to deteriorate, investors need to be extra careful as the remaining 75% of the shares owned by the existing owners are now costless to them. Under such circumstances, every share the existing owners manage to sell into the market, regardless of the price, is extra gain for the owners.
The put warrants ("H") that are supposed to be for traders who want to short a counter - It's a very useful option, especially when we feel that a counter is going down and we want to profit from it. But do our traders really know about its functions? The H warrants are supposed to go up in price when the counter goes down, and the other way when the mother share goes up. But most of the time this doesn't seem to be translated in the H warrants!
@ Mat Cendana. Thoughtful analysis again. It is also can use as hedge purpose for those who has exposure in mother shares. Steven Lee is right about the liquidity issue as well. Investors need to understand the mechanism before using this tool.
Genius Y - Thanks for the information. You have given us all another option in trying to make some money. If one feels that the likelihood of JCY sliding is more probable than it going back up to the previous 1.50-60 level, indirectly shorting the counter through HA looks like a very good idea.
There is now interest in it - the range today is 0.055-0.085, although it could do with more volume. But this will likely come about when more traders learn about it.
You are right about its previous price range, of around a year or so ago. This is something which traders should note - there was that time when JCY was below 1.00. It was only after that very exceptional quarter that it climbed up and up. Unfortunately, it couldn't repeat the same in the recently announced quarter. What will the numbers be in the next one? There's a strong possibility it might be less.
The very popular JCY seems to have lost its aura among traders. The HA warrants are looking like a good bet. However, it would be prudent to pick up and not contra due to the current volume.
Hope it rebounds a bit and force the HA warrant sellers to give these at a more reasonable price of 0.06/065. Right now, they are quoting 0.085. Too expensive.
There's always the possibility. But I feel it is more likely to rebound a bit. It has gone down a bit too much today, in addition to yesterday's loss. The seems to be a `mini-panic' among contra traders and that they are cutting loss and driving the price further down. There is an oversold situation, I think. But if the major shareholders are also dumping their shares, then it will definitely go down further.
what to do? sell liao as seems shareholders also dumping la. Give back all the profit within 2days of trading. push push but no more strength. Believe it will drop to RM 1.1 today.
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....
