Saul Eslake, chief economist at ANZ
Bank in Melbourne, said he would not interpret April's trade data as
suggesting that hopes for a revival in China have suffered a material
setback.
'The recovery is being driven primarily by domestic
demand and policy measures that have driven domestic demand. It would
be hard for China to recover by exports alone, in advance of a
significant turn-up in the markets of its major trading partners,' Mr
Eslake said.

There is no limit to BUY on nil-paid rights. BUY does not related to how many mother shares you have. However, you need to be sure of your BUDGET, because your total cost for doing this method is equal to 1.Market Price of nil-paid rights. 2. Trade commision,tax etc of item 1. 3. Exercise price of $1.09 to convert to mother share. You add up and get the total for your plan of purchase.

The rights issue price is FIXED at S$1.09 per share. So if you buy nil-paid rights at market price (whatever it is) during the rights trading period, you just need to pay S$1.09 per share via ATM, before the deadline 2 June 9pm.

Short sell fine, buy in

SOME investors rushing back into the red-hot market have been caught
out by new rules on short-selling and heavily fined for selling shares
that they did not actually own. They have been told by the Singapore Exchange (SGX) to pay fines of $1,000 or more within five days of failing to settle their trades. The penalties were introduced last September to deter 'naked' short-selling during a period of near panic on global bourses. Such short-selling occurs when a trader sells a stock he does not own or has not borrowed in the hope that the price will fall. This would allow him to pocket the difference. But the SGX appears to be catching an increasing number of 'innocent' investors who fail to deliver small quantities of shares when a trade is due to be settled three days after it is transacted. The trades are usually 1,000 or 2,000 shares of a blue chip like DBS Bank or SingTel. When investors fail to come up with the shares at settlement, the SGX has to buy the stock on a specially established buying-in market. It then delivers the shares to the buyer on the seller's behalf - as well as levies a hefty fine. The number of failed trades has risen sharply in line with the rise in daily market volumes. They have more than doubled in the past month, from 1.4 billion shares to 3.7 billion. Two weeks ago, the SGX buying-in market attracted trading in about 10 to 15 counters a day. By yesterday, the list of counters traded had grown to 50. Many of these failed trades have apparently been made by retail investors returning to the market after a long absence. They are selling online shares held in Central Provident Fund (CPF) accounts without specifying that they are CPF trades, or their accounts were not properly linked up to the SGX. One remisier gave the example of a client fined $1,000 after selling 1,000 OCBC shares online. |

You may like to check some old cases of sold down , look at the candles and compare. IMO, this round sold down seem to stop since very large vol over last few days. Today the buy up vol is higher than sold down. Thus i take the risk to buy some to keep for long term |

during rights trading period, there will be odd lot counter , Kepland_R100 , you can sell or buy this one via your normal online account. also it is common practice for SGX to list odd lot mother share counter for a while ( since some people might want to square their holding). That took place on DBS rights, one Capitaland rights. It is highly likely it will also be for t his Kepland rights. But that is upto SGX...

China export news

BEIJING - CHINESE exports fell more steeply than expected in April, overshadowing strength in capital spending and casting fresh doubt on how solid the prospects for recovery are in the world's third-largest economy. After adjusting for the numbers of working days, the customs office said China exported 6.9 percent more in April than in March. But most economists said the figures were disappointing. 'The future of the world economy remains uncertain, and it's really hard to be optimistic about China's trade prospects,' said Qi Jingmei, an economist with the State Information Centre, a government think-tank in Beijing. Ms Qi also pointed to a 23 per cent year-on-year drop in imports in April as evidence that private companies remained reluctant to invest. Economists had expected a 22 per cent fall in imports after a 25.1 per cent drop in March. China had a trade surplus of US$13.14 billion (S$19.2 billion) in April, calculated from export and import totals issued by the customs bureau. That was less than March's reading of US$18.56 billion and the median forecast of US$17.4 billion in a Reuters poll of economists. 'Exports are likely to drop further in the near term as economic indicators in the United States and Europe, such as industrial output and retail sales, are not looking up,' said Wang Xiaohui, an analyst at Sinolink Securities in Shanghai. Recent figures from some of China's trading partners have indicated that the worst of a brutal contraction in export and import flows triggered by the global financial crisis may be over. Jean-Claude Trichet, president of the European Central Bank, further fuelled optimism on Monday by suggesting some economies have already turned the corner. 'The global economy is around the inflection point with some being beyond the inflection point,' Mr Trichet told a news conference in Basel, Switzerland, after chairing regular talks on the global economy among leading central bankers. -- REUTERS |

yes, due to warrant, which has longer expiry date for converting to mother share, so it had value in particular when mother share price is much higher than exercising price. |

i believe there is no problem for trading decision using three years of data. especially when the last two years have peak price, giving us a good feeling of the resistances/support lines visually.
