Why the flurry of new issue of CWs for this stock? Why are these CWs trading at such high premium, ranging from 21% to 43%? As you may already known by now, Genting SP is having a large Rights Issue of 1-for-5 at S$0.80 each which will close on October 12th. For some reason, Genting SP is currently trading at nearly the same price as it did on the last cum date for the entitlement for the Rights Issue, i.e. September 17th. There are two ways of looking at this development: It is either a very positive development for the stock, which may justify the high premium commanded by 3 CWs or the share price is being held at the current level. I would not want to say more on the later scenario, but I think it is interesting to note the flurry of new CWs issued based on Genting SP. These "smart moneys"- CIMB & OSK- are not too enamored by Genting SP's medium-term share price performance & thought issuing or writing CWs for Genting SP is a rewarding exercise. Who is right? The "smart moneys" or the retailers buying these CWs?

You should compare Genting SP CWs that are listed in Singapore too.
Based on my warrant calculator (swifz.angelfire.com), all the ITM CWs are traded with high premiums. The lowest premium is 14% with Feb 2010 expiration.
After looking at the Genting SP chart the share is showing double top and it will go down anytime after the rights! Is that right, Alex?
Hi Swifz,
Thanks for the info.
Hi Kit,
Something like that. The S$1.20 horizontal resistance will be a tough nut to crack.
Dear Alex,
Thanks for the info!
