GENS-C1- Do you feel lucky today?

CIMB has issued a call warrant (CW) based on Genting Singapore PLC ('Genting SP') which is called GENS-C1. The main terms of GENS-C1 are:

1. Expiry Date: September 2, 2010
2. Exercise Ratio: 3-for-1
3. Exercise Price: S$0.98

GENS-C1 was issued at IPO price of RM0.15 and was quoted on the exchange on Friday, September 4. It gained RM0.135 or 90% on its first trading day. GENS-C1 closed at RM0.375 in the morning session today- gaining RM0.09 or 31.6%. Genting SP is trading at S$1.17 presently. Based on these prices & an exchange rate of S$1=RM2.46, GENS-C1 is now trading at a premium of 23%. The buyers must be very confident that Genting SP will successfully break above its 2007 high of S$1.20 (see my earlier post). I think it is not wise to pay premium above 15% for any CW, especially one which could fail to break above a strong technical resistance. AVOID GENS-C1.

For those who have a history of heart problems, keep the bullets and wait for a bargain in October.

I pretty convinced this month rally is for the big timer to offload.

While I am not confident on GENS as most of the flocks are chasing it because of the track records in home turf, Malaysia.

Have luck.

Hi Solomon,

I think we on the same wavelength with regards to a possible correction in the next few weeks. The market has entered a phase where the easy picking is over. Now, it is going to get tougher & this will separate the men from the boys.
