From the Edge Malaysia: KLCI plunges 70 pts due to trades keyed by broker
  • An official from Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd in an e-mailed statement confirmed that the drop of the index at 4.41pm on Friday was due to trades keyed in by the said broker.

    Among the stocks that fell steeply before paring down losses were KLK, DiGi and PPB.

Err... is that all there is to say?

How is it possible for a broker to make keying in 12 errors in a minute? That worked out to 5 secounds per transaction. It is just bullsxxx.

Hi Moo,

After using my 12-digit calculator to crunch the data that u'd been linked, here r the findings;

1)10 counters (SD, PetDag, IJM, Digi, MISC, KLK, IOI, TNB*, PPB, HLFG). TNB could be a distortion.

2)Timeline ~ from 04:40pm till 04:48pm, about 8 min duration.

3)During that interval 9,270,000 shares r been sold, while 10,790,000 shares r been bought before closing.

4) During that interval, total sales amounting to RM64,849,130.00, while total purchase amounting to RM87,370,550.00. A cold difference (profit) of RM22,521,420.00, holy moorah, just within 8min of finger tapping!

Now here r the conspiracies been implicated;

1)Who in the current market, mood & holding could move so many such heavy, bluer-than-blue chips? Foreigners? Locals?

2)Could a fat finger 'tripping' 10 diversely different counters within an interval of 8min? But then, cant short sell, even if u have an oily keyboard after a finger-licking meal!

3)Blame the computer trading software? Is there such trading mechanism been deployed locally to that extend & by whom?

4)What about if this is a form of money (fund) transferring exercise, to prepare for an on-coming event, where money means everything?

5)Iff (4) holds, then this is a mis-management of public fund (EPF????)to the nth order! A lesson of howto subsidy political parties???????

6)There r smart people in this play while the suckers r those fund contributors. Get yr money out, double quick!!!!! Any wonder why smart foreigners don't touch Bursa KL & keep pulling their money out?

CK: Very interesting point of view!

And kudos for making an effort to decipher the data.

ps: To the best of my knowledge and my live quotes, I saw 14 stocks. (I might miss out some too!)

According to a small article in this week's The Edge (page 10), the cause was a SELL order by Credit Suisse...

Moolah said...

hehe.. small article?

So sell order by Credit Suisse? On 14 counters? All at one go?

Errr.....
