Revision To The Minimum Bid Structure For Securities Market

Bursa has set 16th July 2009 as a tentative date to implement the new minimum bid structure. This is part of the efforts to improve overall competitiveness and trading efficiency of Bursa Malaysia securities market.

See belows proposed structure :-

Price Range----------Current Tick-----Proposed Tick
Below RM1.00------------0.005------------0.005
RM1.00 to RM2.99--------0.01-------------0.01
RM3.00 to RM4.99--------0.02-------------0.01
RM5.00 to RM9.99--------0.05-------------0.01
RM10.00 to RM24.99------0.10-------------0.02
RM25.00 to RM99.99------0.25-------------0.02
RM100.00 and above------0.50-------------0.10

Do you think this is a bad ideas ??
Previously a tick for RM5 stock to make money, now you would need 5 ticks to achieve that.

This moring, market slump to as low as 19pts in less than hour!!

However, most of the regional market up, prompted bursa to narrow its loss to just 7pts. Most of the penny stock are trying to recoup earlier loss from panic sell earlier. What a volatile market!

Take this oppurtunity to trading buy on bjtoto. Make intraday contra gain on bjtoto: sold first in early morning at 5.20 and bought back half later at 5.15.

Also take this oppurtunity to venture into oil and gas sector: Bought Pantech at 72-72.5sen; bought also addition keladi at 15.5sen. all using margin line.

In regard to revision on minimum bid, i strongly disagree.

If materialize, will definitely affect market momentum, especially for bluechip, whereby most of them are trading in the region of 4.00-10.00.

Just sold off all Pantech at 74-75sen, realize intraday gain in afternoon session.

not bad on PANTECH.

I don;t like the idea of minimum bid as well. most big cap stock will need to work harder for it upside.

Queuing to buy Resorts & Genting.
Almost 15points down.

Take months to go up & take days to come down.

Anonymous said...

Its good if you can average down your holding cost on Genting and resort. Alternatively, buy lowest, sell low to take downward trend profit.

It is common mistake among retail investor: too soon to take profit in bullish market and too late to cut loss in bearish market.

Anonymous said...

With crude oil down below 70, palm oil below 2200 and HINI pandemic, outlook for short term market is quite bearish. Take startegy to limit loss and stay calm.

With margin line facitity, it allow me to trade more than million worth of share. However, must extra careful when using margin line, as this could be double edge sword.

Use margin line only to cushion any paper loss in portfolio and increase chance to break even in falling market, Similarly, it also increase chance to enhance capital growth during bull market.

Although margin line do incur interest, but as long as it is for short term, preferably within T+3 trading day. In addition, chance of return must be high to cover any interest cost and excess risk.

horse said...

I wonder intraday trading on margin does it incur interest ? since you get rid of them within few hours,,,

Anonymous said...

There is no interest charge as long trading is within T+3.

Tommorrow, i'm attending seminar in SC, organize by CIMB in regard to investment. Anybody going?

Macroeconomics
· Last week, DJIA closed slightly lower, despite better than expected economic data. Crude oil prices eased 0.6% WOW to USD69.16 a barrel on worries of supply disruption, while gold climbed 0.6% WOW, sustaining its appeal as a safe haven.

· US consumer confidence improved to 70.8% in Jun compared to 69.0 a month ago, the highest level since Feb 2008, underscoring that the worst of the recession has passed. Personal spending increased 0.3% in May, while personal income rose 1.4%, thanks to the government stimulus plan which spurred a jump in incomes. Inflation moderated as a gauge of prices which excludes food and fuel, rose 0.1% MOM.

· This morning, Japan revealed that May’s industrial output expanded by 5.9%, the same rate as the previous month, which was the biggest gain since 1953. However, pessimism still engulfs large manufacturers, as an index of their sentiments registered at -6.5% in May, In addition, retail trade fell 2.8% in the same month, a ninth month of contraction as worsening job market forced households to cut back spending.

· Meanwhile, Singapore’s IPI emerged higher by 2.0% in May after a 0.4% climb a month earlier, as exports fell the least in eight months in May. The government said last month the nation may have “hit the bottom” of its deepest recession since independence in 1965.

Based on Q1 result of 47.5sen, if annulized 190sen, Tanjong is the cheapest bluechip, trading at just PE of 7.2x valuation. Tanjong is also component on upcoming FTSE 30 with higher weightage.

Anonymous said...

Contrary to earlier thought, Tanjong reverse from top gainer to top losser!? down 40sen, at 13.30.

Market dressing failed to move market. Both bjtoto and tanjong ended in losses for endQ2.

Suffer paper loss in portfolio, but manage to avoid any margin call, as there is still 50% margin line act as buffer to any downside risk (margin line = 1.5 x capital .

Will keep portfolio unchanged but will act if there is need to cut loss.

oh, is 1.5 time of yr capital, which mean 50% margin line has now shrunk to 45% margin line, since Tanjong & Bjtoto drop almost 5% both add up. there is still a 45% cushion before hitting margin call.

how far did you set your stop loss ?

maybe can go for another round in the 1st half and 3 more round in the 2nd half....haha

Anonymous said...

If i sell bjtoto at 5.10 now, portfolio will incur more than 20k loss, but if take into account previous several time of trading using margin line and today two round of intraday gain, portfolio now would suffer less than 10k loss.

Hence, i still need at least another 3 round of swing trading to fully neutralize papar loss on bjtoto.

Lesson leart from this mistake:
1) buy at the peak of share price
2) buy after bjtoto declare all dividend, and stock price already price in these catalyst.
3). Allowing too narrow margin of safety
4). Too rush to grab share and lack of due diligent study on no familar stock
:(

There is a diff between day trader and investor. Day trader like you is always go for quick win and fast execution, good point is u need not tight down yourself on a particular stock too long, u have low risk of overnight economic sentiment change, this is your butter and bread where you need to protect yr capital at utmost priority, the rest come second. The disadvantage is the holding power you possess may not be that long coz each month u depend a lot the paycheck from this. Whereas investor has it good & bad as well. Stocks that surge overtime will reap abundantly but clinging on with stock that tumbling down may in turn killing him. Capital may shrink faster than day trader.
Overall in term of trading ability and skillfulness, of the two day trader will prevail.

Anonymous said...

Concentrating capital in one or few potential do carry risk. Thats why, selection of the stock and timing for entry price are very important to ensure the odds is in favour.

As full time trader, i've to be very disciplin. Every month, i'll make 50% net payout of each month net profit to cover monthly expense and pool the rest for reserve in fixed income instrument (FD, bond fund, bond simpanan rakyat etc)

While another 50% will reinvested for compunding effect to take effect. In this way, sustainbility as financial independent can continue and in time to come, evolve to financial freedom status.

Tanjong rebound strongly, up 50sen at 13.80.

Make one intraday contra on bjtoto, Sold at 5.10 and bought back later at 5.05 realize intraday gain. Q to sell back at 5.10 now.

Will still need at least two round of these swing trading to breakeven on bjtoto.

Market volume is getting lower, further consolidation may lead to selling pressure. Better opt for defensive and try to neutralize paper loss on bjtoto as soon as possible.

Yes, manage to only one round for bjtoto: sell first at 5.10 in the early morning (in fact already q midnight), at the same time, buy back later at 5.05 for intraday gain.

As i'm fully prepare for paper loss on bjtoto, therefore, would apply sell first and at the same time buy back later to further minimise paper loss. Will repeat again in the afternoon session, as still need two more round of these swing trading to breakeven on bjtoto.

I'm still waiting for more serious correction next week after FTSE30 start to take effect.

Horse,

I alway tried to enter at 0.15 & sell at 0.16. The gain is not much but couple of hundred every time. I have not much experience or time to monitor actually but doing swing trading pretty rewarding. Anyway, thanks to hng that highlighted this stock. Trying to look for similar stock but i don't think any stock at the moment is giving 10% dividend.

horse said...

have tried many rounds of queuing keladi, just not fruitful enough. none of it hit my queue. thus giving up. might enter if it fall to 0.15.

There are still some stocks that offer dividend more than 8-9% at current level. I'll will highlight it in time to come.

Yeah, manage to make intraday contra on bjtoto: sold at 5.05, bought back in the last 5min bidding at 5.00.

The main reason to bring forward bjtoto from 5.10 to 5.05 was because of too many seller at 5.10 and have been fully prepare to writedown paper loss on bjtoto. Nevertheless, due to last 5min bidding, manage to turn realize paper loss to intraday gain.

With these, i have just need to sell bjtoto at 5.10to fully neutralize loss. But if keep swing trading between 5.00-5.05, i still need 3 more time.

This is risk of making mistake in the investment, which have to take so much effort to neutralize loss. :(
