Very risky meh???

Got $190m cash and profits running......all the luxury buyers abandon HK and come SG please...hehe

 

Time to unload and focus on some bluechips... Risk getting high for this counter...

 

Game over, going back to base at 63.

 

Delising?

 

 

Agree bro.

Privatisation play.
Noted the married trades and at higher prices each time.

The 9.721 mil shares  @ $0.71 were bought by Henry Tan the controlling shareholder.
He probably bought a further 400K at $0.74 via married trade yesterday.
Another company which seems to be in a rush to go private before the rule change

Unusual price movements.....

 

Watch business enjoying bull run. Hour glass grossly underpriced. Broking hse upgrading the share in view of latest 100% quarterly improvement. Takeover and privatisation target.

 

Rare rally. Might test $1 Don't forget to let go

For those whom have invested in The Hourglass previously, would have made a tidy sum and would have stayed faithful to this counter for long term unless they need cash. When this counter did a share split years back, each share was split into five shares and after the share split, the price of each share remains intact i.e. maintained the same share price before the share split. There was also an occasion when celebrating an anniversary (can' t remember the year) the counter gaves out a 0.13 dividend which was all their earning per share to reward shareholders.

Previously the share price was trading at around 50% discount to the NAV but now it is trading at almost the same to the NAV so I see no reasons for The Hourglass to be delisted. I have cashed from this counter during good time and now only holding a token for memory.

So most likely investors might sellout at any price available if they need the money. In this case, even we all agree that THG is a good company, investors end up losing money and this works against the very fundamental purpose of investing. There will come a time you need the money and you need to cash out. Just hope that you don't get into this sort of situation and lose money on a "good and solid" company. So for a considerate company, delisting a illiquid sock its in the interest of majority retail investors. As for the founders, they will have more free play in managing the company without the pressure of facing retail investors, as well as to avoid hostile takeover.

Luxurious Watches are successful symbols of the RICH and VERY RICH and Sales can be achieved regardless in good or bad time. I see no reason for The Hourglass to be delisted as it is very well managed and currently it is trading near asset value so see no advantage for delisting. I was vested in The Hourglass before and it gives out consistent returns every year except investing in this counter have to be long term as trading is very difficult with not much buying and selling interest. lsk007      ( Date: 27-Feb-2017 23:15) Posted: Don't quite understand your reasoning for not delisting. There are many benefits of delisting which are not related to restructuring.
