Maxis fall below IPO still looking downward to 2.50 level. A lot of investor lost confident against the stock to further sell down.

Posted by talk2pkc > 2012-10-25 19:13 | Report Abuse

Maxis profile is much lower than Astro !! I am sure over the medium /long term it will drop below 2.50 but not so sure in SHORT term due to political pressure !!!!!!!!

Astro subscribers who were given pink forms & then made to suffer losses were infuriated & felt cheated. The Astro management sensed this resentment. Fearing that these subscriber would dump their Astro subscription as well, Astro management is now in the midst of getting into the market to support the price to the level of 3.05 - 3.10.

Posted by moven00 > 2012-10-25 22:19 | Report Abuse

Its one of the worse IPO.......No deal Is better than a BAD Deal.

Yup, I agreed. ASTRO Kejam towards their own staff and even bite the finger that feed them (their loyal subscriber)This episode will be remembered by many as a BLACK FRIDAY......

Many were slaugtered for nothing.....by Anakonda and his Cronies.

Shame on you.....So rich, yet doing a low class thing in Bursa.

Bitter pill to swallow, opportunity will present itself at the right price.

Don't know how to benefit from this yet. The put warrant at 2.28 is too low plus a 4:1 ratio. I don't think it will get that low. But then who knows. It's the same with JCY's put warrant - at one time had thought it was unlikely one could ever strike in that it could go that low. It did.

Astro share price falling on costs, rules and future competition, says report

Psrt of the report by Investor Central

“So, in clear terms, the existing owners sold a big stake in a company that was worth (RM1.13 billion) (read negative RM1.13 billion) and pocketed RM3.2 billion in cash,” said Investor Central in a report obtained by The Malaysian Insider. AMH’s main shareholders include companies linked to tycoon T. Ananda Krishnan and Malaysia’s sovereign wealth fund Khazanah Nasional Bhd

why is that so much talking about astro, not many young people are interested in watching astro now, in the next 5 years this astro will be left watching only by the senior citizen, correct me if I m wrong,
sure going to be less and less people watch astro

Posted by KC Loh > 2012-10-26 23:44 | Report Abuse

I think Astro still have some legs. Why? It is still a trend to have closest equivalent cable/satellite pay TV in household, business and what not. Try going to mamak with and without one and you may notice a difference. Basically its still trendy (point 1) . Point 2, its still a monopoly in Malaysia. I know internet TV is coming up, but I cannot have all my family flip limited channels offered now. Unless I want all of them sit in front of my monitor, then its another story. Moreover, quality of even HD on internet tv is still very disappointing so far for me. (For the record, I cancelled my sports after they raise price and now trying to watch EPL on internet. Have a few live streams but pixelated and sketchy) Point 3, it has reach and money to back it up. Trying paying for the latest premier league subscriptions and you will know what I mean. Case in point, true vision vs gmm in Thailand ( http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/297237/viewers-left-in-dark-as-euro-2012-kicks-off). Tell me about it, I was there . Point 4, they have sponsorships. Berjaya's Mitv failed miserably here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U_Television.

So,as much as I detest this ever rising priced pay TV, unless a viable competitor is in place, I don't see astro going away anytime soon. It is my believe when it is returning earnings, the whole picture will change. I think investor just have to try get in a good price with plenty of margin only from the current turmoil.

UNLESS your friend had paid in cash and still in cash rich position to hold it for a few years, consider cut loss. Pay that small loss difference and get on with life. If it goes down further and stays down for a few more years, life will be extremely miserable. If going to hold, pray more often and pray very hard. Its not ASTRO's fault or anyone's. Its only people's greed and not understanding how IPOs work and what to do when the trend goes the other way.

Anan is smart. Most young ppl dont watch astro but internet. In future no laku. In 2 yrs astro may go burst after more cable movies join in. Becareful.

Posted by Mat Cendana > 2012-10-28 18:47 | Report Abuse

The beauty of the stockmarket is this - put one's money where his mouth is and either make a profit or loss (or maybe break even). There's a relatively inexpensive way to do this i.e. via the call and put warrants. If you think Astro will be going to the dumps, why not buy the put warrants? Going to see how they go tomorrow when they are listed.

The Edge's latest weekly (Oct 29-Nov 4, 2012) has Astro as the main story, with 3 pages. But the content is rather disappointing. You'd gain more knowledge and insight by reading the comments here. Feel that I had wasted my RM5 with this issue, which could have been better spent on Maggi goreng at Subaidah Section 6, Kota Damansara:-P
