Based on yesterday end shareholding by EPF in Kossan, Top Glove and Harta it is valued at RM 5.51 billion. EPF lost RM 2.1 billion in book value in one month. If glove industry has value I think EPF would support . Lets see the announce on EPF trade in the next few days.
For all we know EPF would be one of the sellers in the last two days. We will find out by the end of this week because Bursa announcements are lagged by 2 or 3 days.
Non stop bull run from Jan 2020 till Jan 2021. See what will happen to Malaysian glove counters if without GREEDY short sellers n sharks who want to collect cheap ticket from retailers.
But once sharks n short sellers feel they have collect enough, what u think it is going to happen.
Answer: all glove counters will fly to the moon :)
No wonder Tan Sri want TG to get listed in HK (mid 2021)
I can understand the big boys playing games with short selling but I cannot understand why some small shareholders lending their shares to someone else for short selling. Sure they earn a fee for lending their shares but why would you lend your shares to someone to bring down your own share price down??? Isn't it like cutting your own throat for a small fee??
@smallfellow. Why not? U know eventually price will rebound. Plus it is chance for you to buy more shares when price is low. Jst look at what EPF doing for TG. Win2 situation for them.
For those naysayers. Do you guys even know what is SBL??
SBL - Securities Borrowing & Lending
Disposal of 40,000,000 shares (SBL) by Citigroup Nominees (Tempatan) Sdn Bhd - Employees Provident Fund Board.
Those who dont understand, EPF didnt sell 40million TG shares (if it does, it wont appear under SBL).
So basically EPF lend the 40millions to short sellers aka shorties to short. Eventually the shorties will need to return the 40million back to EPF with a fee of course. U need to return something u borrow.
Net2 EPF didnt sold any TG shares plus they earn the fee from the borrower. Win2 situation for EPF.
The scenario is like this: EPF lend JP Morgan 40million shares for JP Morgan to short JP Morgan thinking he can short TG shares to earn money from the market JP Morgan waiting for panic retailers so they can collect really cheap tickets JP Morgan already prepare this long time ago by releasing target price of rm3.5 for TG last month. But alas he never expect EPF, local funds and retailers to be so strong pushing the price up. EPF also smart collecting more TG shares on 4th of Jan so JP Morgan cant short EMPLOYEES PROVIDENT FUND BOARD (a substantial shareholder) acquired 6,387,600 shares on 04-Jan-2021. EMPLOYEES PROVIDENT FUND BOARD (a substantial shareholder) acquired 1,758,900 shares on 04-Jan-2021.
SBL, in this case, stands for securities borrowing and lending. This means the provident fund is lending out its Top Glove shares for a fee to investors who intend to short the stock.
Witan, assuming you are right then the short seller JP Morgan had their ass kicked. So I assume now that the short sellers have died a natural death the share price will start to rebound. The only worry I have is EPF has now accumulated a lot of "cheap" shares. It is not a matter of if but when will EPF start to off load some of their shares to take profit??
Smallfellow I believe shortlist did not lose their pants, just did not make as much. Now that glove mania is back, I think EPF will wait till TG goes back to their offloaded selling price, hence EPF also did not lose much. I think still holding 5% ard rm7 plus based on reports
