But from past examples of placement by stocks that are less than $2 fro the past few years till now, I had noticed prior to their placement announcement dates, BBs ALWAYS push the share prices to rally very high, they always purposely push the share price to much higher than the placement price, so why do u think for BIOSENSERS the exact opposite will happen instead(since u said BBs want to keep the price very near to placement price)

infancybird      ( Date: 04-Oct-2012 07:34) Posted: Yes, i am betting on that...  after the issue of shares  the stock will move up. Hence no need to sell any of your holding as $ 120 is a very very strong support. Currently just monitor this stock knowing any move up by a few cents is just very temporary as the BB will press it down again and again. We will be lock at this price range till the news emerges , barring world stock disaster. whencanchange      ( Date: 04-Oct-2012 00:12) Posted: infancybird, why no reply on this?

Sure you not only jump but curse nonstop at the mgt. this is why price must be kept low to accomodate such issue. The new investor will not like to see high price, lower the better for them   while we small investor wanted higher price, higher the better

 

if this stock can break 1.26 it will rally or else stay sideline from 1.2 to 1.26...

just have hope in this counter very strong fundamental and profits

missed all the postings, vested today at 1,22 thrown by 83 citigroup at matching!!

 

 

If today your BIG is $ 1.50 and tmr  mgt   issues the large amt of new shares to a new large investor for $1.225........what will happen??  The stock price will correct heavily to factor in the new share issued at lower price......will you as small investors jump??

Currently, I still left $85,000 in my trading capital.

  A bit undecided whether use the money to buy more of this Biosensers at currrent price or buy Golden Agri at today's price??

 

your question of when to buy is hard to answer...but you may look at the Bid /Ask quote on SGX. Today for eg, there is a constant endless supply of  large blocking Ask volume at 1.225 , effectively blocking all effort to buy up....thus   indicating the BBs is not letting go as yet.  Once this pattern changes in future trading day will tell us its time to get in. On the other hand, you may start accumulating   piecemeal within your finiacial comfort. Mid to end Oct may see shift of sentiment.

Quite a good analysis.  Small investors should write to harrass  Biosensors management and board about their bias against the interests of retail investors.  When voting for re election of directors always vote against the current team.  They have a world class product but not so their management/board.
