The doctor grabbed one and said “I’m a doctor, I save lives, so I must live,” and jumped out.
The old lawyer then said, “I’m a lawyer and lawyers are the smartest people in the world. I deserve to live.” He also grabbed a parachute and jumped.
The priest looked at the little boy and said, “My son, I’ve lived a long and full life. You are young and have your whole life ahead of you. Take the last parachute and live in peace.”
The little boy handed the parachute back to the priest and said, “Not to worry Father. The smartest man in the world just took off with my back pack.”
I don't think so.Better get out fast.Wuhan coronawirus seems to be spreading fast n now 80 deaths reported in China.Will this impact the chinese economy? There is no positive news around.Bursa is already bad as FBM KLCI slips below 50- day SMA and will get to worse.
May be limit down once per day for two trading days. Back to 0.215 or even lower. Bursa really serious this time but good to prevent even serious impact soon. Fundamentally not srrong but no clue of prive hike. Maybe only expert knows worth or not.
First, it is not compulsory for right issues to have underwriter(s). There was no underwriter for Perdana's RCPS rights.
Issuers of rights have to pay a fee to the underwriter(s). And there are terms and conditions where the underwriter(s) can "wiggle" their way out of the underwriting obligation. Nonetheless, it is in the interest of the underwriter(s) to want the entitled retail shareholders to subscribe, otherwise they will have to come up with a maximum RM 37.5 million to give to ICON for the rights shares (cum warrants) should no retailers subscribe.
There are many "ways to skin the cat" as they say; and in this case, consolidation!
So 99.9999% of retail shareholders have lost money through the consolidation. Unless the loss is small, most retail shareholders, I believe, will subscribe to average down their share price. This left a bitter taste, being forced to subscribe.
The views expounded on 25/1 10:28am & 10:45am and 26/1 6:57pm by Shareview123 on whether retailers are encouraged to subscribe or not, appear a bit contradictory. But nevertheless, encouragement is always better than force.
Again, taking Perdana as an example, there were also many discussion whether to subscribe or not, as should all the RCPS be converted to normal shares, the total share base would be enlarged 3 times from the original. But, today, the price has appreciated to 0.525; it is 1.28 x NA (0.41).
Now, for ICON, there is warrant (to be given free), the exercise price is 0.168 within 8 years (duration of warrant). The NA of ICON after all the rights and conversion is calculated to be 0.13 (pg 38 of prospectus) for the maximum case. Following Perdana, there is the potential that ICON share price might appreciate to 1.28 x NA, i.e. 0.166
Taking up the rights at 0.105 to average down one's price to maybe 0.12 to 0.13; and with potential for ICON shares to appreciate to, say, 0.16 will give about 20% gain.
Now of course the question would be, when, if ever. Please then refer to Petronas' Activity Outlook 2020-2022 page 61 and decide for oneself whether to invest more money or not.
Urusharta Jamaah Tabung Haji sold 972,225 share Icon at 81sen ++. Their cost few yrs ago at avg RM1.56 and bought RM162.6mil worth of Icon share
They could have secured at 1.75 per share if Bursa did not impose Limit up for 3 days as the shares rockets. Nevertheless it is still a good gain considering the price for ICON was only 3.5 sens per share on the 21st. I suppose they were in a hurry to get back their investments.
alam , perdana, icon, 是重组后的3个油气股。 icon 附加股将在20/2上市 比 较 alam 17, perdana 52, icon 13

Good observation jaynetan!
I don't have Perdana however I have put my stake in other good companies like Serba, Penta, KLCC, Axiata, Digi, TM, Revenue, Inari, FGV, Sime Plantation, IOI Corp, SOP, Gamuda, Sunway etc etc for my 4 Boutiques:
1. Plantations 2. Digital Economy 3. O&G 4. VMY 2020.
For O&G, I have also put my stake in 3 inexpensive PN17 Companies as I believe the best way to learn is to put your stakes in it.
1. Scomies 2. TH Heavy 3. Barakah
All the above are waiting for restructuring.
As I have experience in Alam and ICON, once the operators have collected enough they will push these stocks up. This is exactly happened to Armada, Velesto and KNM. Based on these experience, I'm actually not too worry about getting "Stuck" if the rewards is more than 100%.
Another example is Greatec. Many were eager to cash in at 80 plus . I only started to cash in when it hits 1.50, 2nd at 2.50 and i will cash the remaining when it is listed at the Main Board end of this year. Greatec hit 2.91 last Friday. It continues to be the Darling for IR4 in the Techs sectors..
If you think yourselves as an Investors, you should be prepared to HOLD and most importantly, Never use borrowed Money..
all sifu, may i know that now i have 20 lots OR sitting in my account which given by ICON, can i sell it all and do i need to pay back any money to the company? I am a newbies, please advice. tq
Alam, the time cash from AOF, all cursing Perdana, cash call, also cursing Becourse prices weaker.
When prices going up After restructured, many chasing, many pakar Talked the OTHER way round. Many acted like professional, giving Incorrect explanations from the eagles of professional eyes.
Icon, theoritical ex price shld be around 12 sen. If compare Alam n icon, one man medicine is the other man poison.
Hopefully, icon becomes i can Just talk from Experience. Dare not say i m right, market Changes now n Then

This are some of the messages I received from my IB.
Trading of rights: 24/01/2020 until 31/01/2020. You can sell your rights, if you do not wish to subscribe.
Kindly inform your acceptance regarding this rights issue before 5pm 31/1/2020 or it shall be treated as your rights will be lapsed.
Listing of new share: 20/2/2020. Hence you need to get your money ready on the 3/2/2020 before 3pm in your trading account if you want to subscribe..

@monetary Miss Mabel is good in creating value from thin air. 27/01/2020 2:54 PM
From my experience, good companies do not have much price volatility. Failed companies have extremely large price swings because people with differing views drives the prices up and down. SO, failed companies can potentially be GOLD MINES for some PEOPLE.
Just take a look at ICON, what happened last week was phenomenal. This is even better than my Mercedes Benz's Cycle & Carriage exercise which is only 70% increase when they decided to take it private.
Look at TH Heavy, with just only one positive news it shot up 30% on a single day. The stock until today still maintain it's momentum at 13. When it was below trading at 8-9 nobody cares. Now everyone is chasing for it. Same things happened with Alam.
If really retailers would not subscribe to Right Issue, the Underwriter will take-up or the existing majority shareholder will take up at a certain price "Negotiated". If such happens, I strongly believe that the market can be controlled as the majority shares will be owned by a certain party rather than multiple parties. On top of that, Icon will have less obligation to the financial debt which is good to minimize the financial obligation by saving the debit financial cost, hence making the company to profitable someday. Moreover, the majority will certainly want to have the capital return in the open market of the shares that they have purchased which means the chances the share prices will be stabilized sooner or later. So I want to be positive and will take the OR and keep and I strongly believe it returns my investment.
@OKU_2020 BANGKOK: Shares tumbled on Monday (Jan 27) in the few Asian markets open as China announced sharp increases in the number of people affected in an outbreak of a potentially deadly virus.
Corona virus is not as contagious as Mers. Death rate is still about 20 percent simikar to Sars. Mers is 40 percent. In both cases they know the source. Corona in some cases does not have a symptom.
Thanks Mabel/r88 sorry for late reply as i was away
after digesting your explanation, my case is as below:
additional fund needed to exercise new RI was RM6,930 (for total new 66,660 shares in hand). Total invested value was RM 8,250. when the market price was @0.90, market value was RM59,994. What a waste ..
It was unfortunate that I missed the opportunity that was already in hand ... sad sad sad ...
