you know why no one answer because you all are asking the same question again and again and the answer is going to be the same again and again :) So stop asking...
passerby, it's about time Sime moves up a bit. Most of the other index-linked counters have been doing okay but Sime is a laggard. The E&O "GO or No GO?" case has been a drag - don't know which way it will go so I hope the hedging experiment works. If Sime does have to make a GO, it is huge enough to afford it. The mother would be affected somewhat but I don't think the CR will go down that much - 0.03 at most...? Whatever paper loss I might make should be offset by the rise in E&O's CW.
Another factor that will affect Sime is its AGM (on 8 Nov if I'm not mistaken). I'm flabbergasted that Datuk E. Sreesanthan, who is being charged with insider trading, has offered himself to be re-elected as a director! He had previously said he will resign pending the cases, which would have been the right thing to do. But now he's changing his tune with the "Innocent until proven guilty" line.
Sime's major shareholders, especially PNB and EPF, will have to do the right thing and vote against him. By doing so, there will be some hope of proper corporate governance in Sime and thereby attracting institutional investors, especially the foreign ones. Sime is the type of counter where retail investors are almost totally powerless to affect any meaningful movements in its price. The best we can do is to try hitch a ride with the big guys.
MC: you are conscious about the article also :),I like the theme of "proper corporate governance" . Do you feel the article is actually turning 1 big round to give a slap on Sime & SC face ?
It was mentioned that their practice will be use a the benchmark for "good/proper corporate governance" by other GLCs
What they did on E&O last year is consider good corporate governance ? CLSA is dropping the bomb on that issue.
Foreign investors are watching & observing their "good corporate governance" practice , lol
The E&O deal last year left a sour taste in the mouth even for those who don't have its shares. The 33% point may not have been triggered but the cynical manner in which only selected significant shareholders were involved had created a lot of anger and resentment.
The article - do you mean the one in The Edge weekly? The writer had raised a lot of pertinent points and I hope the media and the influential bloggers would help focus the attention towards them. Come to think of it, all of us have a joint stake in Sime considering the shares PNB and EPF holds. And that's not counting the others like Tabung Haji etc. too. So much wealth and potential under the various divisions of Sime but these aren't properly utilised.
The parrot aka diablo 'double 0' 69 (no more 88) say the reason no body answer Ur question is becoz you all are asking the question again and again...............aiyo this is coming from the parrot who repeats all the time fr his master and now screwing the general public......
Tony liupar tell me again why you want to benefit the forumer? I bought once listening to your instruction ( no contribution but just instruction) and the stock went down 3 weeks alredi.."..I just need some confidence fr you .....
Hey Parrot69... Who is screwing? U are the 69... Haha. I thought you POSTED SO LARGE that your sifu said GO in SEPTEMBER. ??? Who is the dumb one? now October boy... You know how to read calendar?? sept comes after oct for you?
Passerby, wound very tightly.....if you remember I mentioned that this stock cannot stay the same price for too long and will drop if no movement....it has sustained for too long now and the drop has been very moderate thus far....if wound to tightly, the spring will break or it will have a lot of momentum springing forward soon. I believe the latter will happen ......

Who doesn't understand stock market......the one who ask everyone to hold at 2.30 for GO? Read my advice or rather consultation free for a parrot,....230 is valid 6 mths ...UNDERSTAND....after which it's the next avg with 20% premium again...so 230 is NOT obligation....UNDERSTAND,,,,,:)
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....
