Director selling does not mean share price is going to collapse. There is more than 1 director in the company if I remember correctly.
I think this stock is undervalued....
Hi Kopimoni,
erm, this stock is more for mid term, not a speculative stock, so i;m not sure if your LV bag can be bought with kopi money. hehe
yesterday US market quite bad, more or less will affect SG market today.
for me, i prefer to buy on down days and sell on high days.tend to get better prices
anyway happy trading.
Cheers.
Hi ryantka,
Thks for yr reply. Just vested recently so abit jittery. Hope to make some kopi moni to buy a LV bag before the GSS is over.
Cheers.
Hi Kopimoni,
The said director was holding 17 million shares (more than 17,000 lots) before selling, the 1 million shares he sold was just about 6 or 7% of his holdings.
There could be 2 reasons of the sale,
1. he wants to cash out some money to spend
2. he wants to release more company stocks to the public market flow.
either way, its not a big sell down as his still holding on to nearly 16 mil shares.
If i hold 17 lots of a company, it doesnt make a big difference to me if i sell 2 lots for some cash. So, it should not be a big cause for alarm as we all know that this is a fundamentally strong company with good prospects.

Hi,
I'm noobie here. It was stated in today's ST that chairman of HG Metal has pared down his stake by selling 1.14 mil shares at average of 53.17c.
What is the implication ? Appreciate yr views.
TIA.
Target price S$0.73.
Slow and steady counter. Slight fallback yesterday but will rise again. Normal. Have patience. very strong counter. Strong fundamentals, strong results.
spurs88. thank you for providing the information.
Volume still looks good eventhough there is a slight drop today. With the strong construction and marine growth, these markets defintely need a lot of steel. It should benefit HG metal if it is able to provide the steel needed.
