economics explained in a simple story... And this is how the story goes...
It's a slow day in some little town.
The sun is hot, the streets are deserted.
Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.
On this particular day a rich tourist from back west is driving thru town.
He stops at the motel and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to
inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night. As soon as
the man walks upstairs, the owner grabs the bill and runs next door to pay his
debt to the butcher.
The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to retire his debt to the
pig farmer.
The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill at the feed store.
The guy at the Farmer's Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to the
local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her
services on credit.
She, in a flash rushes to the motel and pays off her room bill with the motel
owner.
The motel proprietor now places the $100 back on the counter so the rich
traveler will not suspect anything.
At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, picks up the $100 bill,
states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money & leaves. Now, no
one produced anything...and no one earned anything...however the whole town is
out of debt and is looking to the future with much optimism.
And that, ladies and gentlemen is precisely how the
Government is conducting business today!?
Have a great week and try to look to the future with optimism.
economics... it could belong to 1-2 persons or more who needs to cash-out and cannot wait..
7.5 cents less 5 cents cash distribution effectively wud cost a new investor 2.5 cents which appears tempting. But then why there are currently abt 1 million shares queueing to sell at 7.5 cents only? Why are these sellers not waiting for the 5 cents cash distribution? Do they know something which we don't?
7.5 cts is good entry price...got some today..cheers !!
Resolution Passed..
http://www.sgx.com/wps/portal/marketplace/mp-en/home... check out the results of the EGM held earlier..
In the letter to shareholders, it was mentioned that the payout should be completed in June 10.
share price was already at 6.5 cents before any announcement of cash distribution. TP: 11.5 cents.

| Description |

I do not understand VDL's intention but have put my faith in the chairman's foresight --- based on cash alone , it is worth more than current 8cts...and it is profitable .. so more upside..
Thakral family do it mainly for control of the company, secondly use the 5c distribution to buy share at 3c cheaply. The minority share-holders can only benefit from the second reason only if the share price will rise. HLA got felt-up with them as Thakral share is always icbc type.
How to ? We have no card to play at all, so no strategy to talk about.... hope by the time we get the 5cts and the stock market is in great bull run, then the share price may shoot back to pre-distribution level...
Do you it is bright for anyone to do a Thakral strategy ?

You are right if you view in this light -- if they do not need to undertake to place out the 550mil shares, they can keep the money for other purposes too.. I guess the placement exercise has to be completed at certain time frame..
Looks like the Thakral family will get 5c from their own shares to pay the 3c to major shareholder's shares. So Thakral family will not have come out any cash, in fact got extra cash.

No. Thakral did not get the 5 cts distribution for the placement shares. It is done to "appease" the major shareholder with undertaking to place out their shares... if not there will be an extraordinary meeting...
