Insider's trading

Sime Darby's RM1 B tab, Malaysian Insider's blunder and Pakatan Rakyat's blooper. An early morning Malaysian Insider report that Sime Darby would  suffer its biggest-ever loss (of RM 2.5 billion) has punched a RM1 billion hole in Sime's market capitalisation, as outraged Pakatan politicians blindly bayed for blood (read here).

The MI report would have a good April fool pun, but April's long gone. Sime Darby's infamous 'on the ball' board fiddled while shareholders were being burned throughout the day. Sime could have sought a suspension from the market regulator but, instead, it stood still and watched the carnage.

Sime Darby did, eventually and after the market had closed, issue a statement that it would be posting a profit and NOT a loss as reported by the MI. But by then these bloopers had caused RM1 billion of Sime's capitalisation to be wiped out in just one day. It also allowed some very rich people, who scooped up the shares on the cheap yesterday, to become richer.

    How come Malaysian Insider never called Sime Darby to verify the information? How come, Malaysian Insider never spoke to any analysts? Is Malaysian Insider cock sure of its information? Is the Sime Darby board talking cock? Who ever who had short the stock will be laughing to the bank. By end August we will know who is telling the truth. The manipulator's head must roll, be it Malaysian Insider or Sime Darby. As 4 Pakatan politicians, be accountable to yourselves first, check the truthfullness of your information, before demanding accountability from others. Dont behave like a headless chicken coz ten times out of ten, you will end up with stench of yoke on your face.

    Wow, one more scam by Kali Ular. Kali and Azman Hashim already given mandate to Kean Onn to sell ECM for RM2 but nobody want to buy at this price. So just call Brendan Pereira and sit down with Siew Lian and her husband and come up with a grand scam to raise easy money. Rope in PR people and Zubir loyalist still in Sime Darby and execute the coup, while Bakke, the hj bahil look alike tries to remember names of Sime Darby staff. Woi Haji Bahil, you have been stabbed by your board, and left high and dry by Zubir and gang.

    First short the stock - make money. Then buy the stock on the low and hold for a couple of day - also make money. Hello, Malaysian Insider, I got story for you also, stories that wont make you look like an idiot. Air Asia going to be taken private this year. Call Tony Fernandes lah. Price is RM1.85.

    Lim Guan Eng should be arrested for bribery and corruption. This Cheap Minister thinks he can buy votes with his RM100 gift to senior citizens . This is political corruption or political bribe , isn't it ? To look at it from a different perpective , all senior citizens above 60 yrs old is entitled to this RM100 bribe , as to qualify for it you must register your name at only DAP service centers.

    my dear Master klentong,

    Sime opened at 7.7 and lowest trade was at 7.48. Total of 12 million shares traded.

    how did you arrive at the market cap loss.

    SIME said based on BEST ESTIMATES it would be back in the black.

    the same SIME who much earlier said no cost overruns?

    to be fair - price reference from the early part of the year should be taken in to consideration

    Istana Negara menafikan bahawa keberangkatan Raja Permaisuri Agong Tuanku Nur Zahirah ke majlis Islamic Song Festival di Shah Alam pada 4 Julai lalu atas sebab-sebab peribadi.

    Istana Negara dalam kenyataan, lewat petang semalam berkata keberangkatan Tuanku Nur Zahirah ke majlis itu merupakan acara rasmi baginda.


    "Pentadbiran Istana Negara ingin menasihati pihak yang terlibat dalam perkara ini supaya tidak mengulangi perkara seperti itu dan sentiasa berhati-hati dalam mengeluarkan sebarang kenyataan yang mungkin boleh disalahtafsirkan oleh rakyat," kata kenyataan itu di Kuala Lumpur.

    Pada Isnin lalu, akhbar The Malay Mail telah mengeluarkan laporan bertajuk "Being Frank: Selangor's Royal Snub, Date with the Queen" dan satu lagi artikel "It was not a royal snub" keluaran Selasa, yang telah mendapat perhatian Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin dan Tuanku Nur Zahirah.

    Laporan itu "It was not a royal snub" menyatakan bahawa kerajaan Selangor mendakwa Tuanku Nur Zahirah menghadiri majlis anjuran Pelancongan Selangor itu atas kapasiti peribadi di mana beberapa pemimpin penting kerajaan negeri itu tidak hadir.

    Laporan itu juga menyebut ketidakcekapan kerajaan negeri menganjurkan acara itu telah memalukan Tuanku Nur Zahriah kerana tidak kehadiran pentadbir utama negeri termasuk Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim menyambut ketibaan Baginda.

    Majlis itu hanya dihadiri oleh kurang darpada 200 orang dalam Stadium Tertutup Malawati di Shah Alam yang mempunyai kapasiti 5,000 penonton dan kegagalan kerajaan negeri memaklumkan kepada Sultan Selangor mengenai kehadiran Baginda pada majlis itu.

    Istana Negara mendapati mesyuarat persediaan menyambut keberangkatan Baginda ke majlis itu diadakan melibatkan pihak Istana Negara, penganjur serta jabatan dan agensi kerajaan negeri yang terdiri daripada Pejabat Menteri Besar Selangor, Bahagian Khidmat Pengurusan SUK, Bahagian Protokol SUK dan Tourism Selangor dan dipengerusikan oleh Pengurus Besar Tourism Selangor.

    "Istana negara juga menolak laporan yang menyatakan Baginda meninggalkan majlis lebih awal daripada yang dijadualkan, pada hal sebenarnya pihak penganjur telah dimaklumkan terlebih dahulu bahawa Baginda tidak akan menyertai majlis santapan selepas konsert tersebut," kata kenyataan itu

    I don't understand investors who react at the slightest news either negative or positive without really thinking. I suppose this is what they call "herd mentality".

    Yes, you are right Bro, Sime shares below 7.60 is considered cheap and that was what happened following the report by "rumour-mongering" MI and again you are right, the cleverer and the richer were able to capitalise on the artificial slide and we all know who they are.

    Would have bought the cheap shares had my money not stuck in AS1M!

    I am sticking to my SIME shares bought at the height of the 2008 financial meltdown. AND am waiting for AGM to vote all those directors on the current SIME board out and if possible the chairman as well!

    As long as the price of CPO maintains, Sime Darby should be ok.
    But there were reports that appeared this week on Business Times on the threat 48k of prime palm oil land in Indonesia being auctioned off. Is that true? Was that a result of ignorance by the management team in Indonesia?
    Are there more negative news that we dont know off in Plantations or other Divisions?

    SIME CEO Bakke has instructed that the company SHOULD not take on any more overseas contracts as the main subcontractor, but that its role should be limited to that of fabrication and construction alone, which is its expertise.

    some interesting questions:

    1. Would the Sime foxes who knew the real deal and deliberately? dint clarify the issue but who used proxies to purchase the fallen "angels" (read: shares) are liable to be prosecuted for Insider Trading. Wouldnt be a farfetched scenario ("deliberately" rigging the market)would it?

    2. Could the aggrieved parties in the fiasco seek restitution by suing the Sime Board for not seeking a suspension?

    3. Could the same parties, sue the pants and cocks off Malaysian Insider given the report had the net effect of inciting panic selling. And personally hold a mullah and his sidekicks liable.

    4. What would SC and the Bursa do this time. Wet their panties with filthy rotting cancerous vaginal discharge or dildo their dry cunts silly and ignore the shenanigans 'cos there are no conflict of interests gains (hahahaha..)involving family members plus there are no journos to bully and terrorise with an archaic and brutal Act. Alternatively, she bitch to the world that they are being subject to endless persecution.

    Given SD's GLC status, wouldnt this lend a negative perception to the government and who will gain by such negativity. Plus, since we are all gaga over FDI, would this stymie investor confidence further (expect the Spore scumboy to give his usual garbage as usual)...hahahahaha ROFL

    Pharking Rapists? PR who?Instead of enquiring into the truth, armed with facts, they rape the public senseless with their shitty cockthrusts and asinine ejaculate bordering on the absurd. And so obsessed with the idea of getting the first foot in, they ended up stuffing their shitstained foot into their mouths or better still up each others arseholes,,,,hahahaha. Such stupid fellatists who can ignore Sandgate in Selangor and Watergate in Penang but who are suddenly savvy enough to offer their shit laced prognostications are the end result of an uninformed, braindead electorate being given the opportunity to flush the destinies of innocents like me down the polling shithole. Time to bring in the army and execute these bastards en masse and pockmark this beloved land with mass graves.

    In the Business Times today, this is what RHB had to say about Musa Hitam's Sime Darby. If this report is accurate, I am shocked, and likewise all Malaysians should be.

    THE REPORT

    Most of the problems stem from poor project management and an absence of documentation of client design changes and subsequent cost overruns," Hoe said.

    "This was particularly the case for the Middle Eastern projects as the previous management had relied a lot on 'word-of-mouth' and trust that the clients would come through with the variation order payment," she added.

    RHB also noted that Sime Darby had yet to receive any new contracts from Petroliam Nasional Bhd this year, which means that its fabrication yard will likely be operating at very low utilisation rates. The capacity was boosted by 190 per cent to 105,000 tonnes after the acquisition of Ramunia Bhd's assets.

    Malaysian insider has always been irresponsible. They were the first who started the reporting of shah alam cow head incident as a racial issue. It was pure Khalid samads incompetence which caused the issue but they blew up stoking racial incitement.
    There were too many instances. But the most hypocritical is their fight for freedom of expression. They claim government curtailed this right. But when I criticise directly their journalism standard they censor my comments and refused publication. What loads of rubbish the Malaysian insider is.
