heya,
think it refers to two separate transactions: that MS sold shares, and that they returned borrowed shares.
ie, MS may have taken scripts from someone as collateral (the way Opes ceded Jade shares to MS/ML as collateral), or that they borrowed it themselves in exchange for some other counter. Such shares can be redeemed later by the owner.
either way, doesn't make a lot of difference: they're basically reducing their holdings. Buyer likely to be GKW, if you track the announcements. DBS operates on behalf of GKW, btw.
If you follow broad market tho, no big deal: MS has been consistently selling their holdings in the STI. I don't think they're even making profits; just to raise capitals and meet the calls back home. well, one man's downfall will lead to the rise of another. just focus and watch the story unfold.

Please go to SGX one of the 2 announcement on 25 June '08 and look at Part III, the changed in deemed interests.
heya gentledove,
i had meant for today's movement. 422 lots sold in 4 trades; think it's MS, because the other two have no reason to sell.
Could you direct me to the link of the actual report? I couldn't find it....shares borrowed: one reason could be that MS loaned out the shares as collateral for something else. Alt, some kind of swap deal for another counter. Many reasons possible.
Elfinchilde:
SGX announcements show transactions in June '08 MS purchased and sold (some "shares borrowed were returned to lender") only a small % of their holding. However, I do not understand the "shares borrowed were returned to lender" exercise???
ooh, i believe MS may have sold some UIC. (they've been selling/churning all their STI assets.) means the situation is that bad for US banks back home.
Wonder if WCY or GKW absorbed the lots.
even better if MS sells, actually. they then lose position as kingmaker. ie, whoever buys what MS sells will own UIC: GO scenario more possible then.
Points noted, thanks.
in case image is not clear; and the likely ranges for the supports/strikes:
1st support is now, 2.96-3.
2nd support is 2.84-2.89
3rd is 2.59-2.67.
If there's ever a sudden dip ala the Aug 17 crash, take the opp to accumulate. DCA/longterm strat => enter in parts, so pls do not be gungho and 'whack' for entry at one px and find yourself stuck.
be mentally prepared to go long and to dig in deep.
TA/FA details:
pls note that this is one of only two counters i'm interested in, so don't trust that i'm completely unbiased.
But as responsible investors: Infer from the facts below, and make up your own minds.
Take note too that the strat i'm applying is a longterm strat (at least 3 mths, i'm guessing likely 6 if not more), and DCA at the three support levels need to be applied. If you do not have the guts to go deep and follow it, please don't: i may not be right, neither do i pretend to be so.
Also: all levels called as strike are fluid. Exact entry will always be dependent upon the charts when the moment comes. Use your own discretion in judging suitable entry levels.
-----------
FA: as per their 3Q AR:
Revenue increased 86%, PAT increased 46%. Cashflow increased to 113mil from 103mil. All this on back of a falling market.
2007 options were given at an exercise px of 2.7. 2008 options at exercise of 2.91.
GKW, WCY, MS holding this counter. 79-80% in their hands. ie, this stock is cornered. Latest buying 30 june '08 as filed in SGX, GKW bought 506 lots. Their buy px has ranged from 2.65 to 3.45 (07 and 08 data).
Lowest px of UIC is 2.59. NAV is 2.44.

TA:

Thanks elfinchilde.
From the following link it shows option granted on 10/3/08 was @ $2.91/share. So, I think to enter at this level should be quite safe for those who can and prepare to hold on right? Your views appreciated.

gentledove:
only 3 big players in UIC. GKW and associated vehicles (including Telegraph and Summit), WCY, and MS.
Altogether they own at least 79% of UIC already. ie, 79% of UIC is in institutional hands. Because of its fragmented shareholder structure, UIC has always been the target--rumored or otherwise--of takeovers. Notable in their stable of holdings: the listed company, Singapore Land. Read its AR and cf it with the AR of UIC.
Technicals: Those interested can compare the data from Aug 17 to now; at what prices each of these BB scooped up UIC. You can then estimate the supports and what is the highest price you can buy to.
FYI to start interested people off (lesson in TA/FA detective work hehe): Gokongwei's highest buy px for UIC is 3.45. WCY's lowest px is abt 2.6.
hehe. caveat applies as usual. :)
GKW buy buy buy more uic!
boost up the price..
