Oh MessDaq

Oh yeah.

M'sia to unveil tougher rules for Mesdaq listing

Finally something is being done over the clear lack of quality of the newly listed stocks, especially those being listed on the MessDaq.

Here is a snippet from the article which clearly highlights the appalling lack of quality control on stocks being listed on the MessDaq.

Litespeed's showing so far typifies that of many a Mesdaq company. Listed only last Thursday on Malaysia's tech index, the counter is trading at 31.5 sen - 15.5 sen lower than its offer price of 47 sen.

On its debut it opened one sen higher but closed the day at 39 sen, the second most-actively traded counter. A total of 11.4 million shares were traded, more than double the public IPO portion of five million shares.

Litespeed raised RM16 million (S$7.2 million) from its public issue of 32.5 million 10-sen shares, and its public portion was subscribed almost six times.

Unfortunately for those subscribers, only a few days into its listing, Lite-speed announced a net loss of RM1.9 million for its quarter ended July 31.

Aiyoh! Only a few days into its listing, Lites-speed announced a net loss of rm1.9 million for its quarter ended July 31!!!!!

This is simply NOT ACCEPTABLE.

Truly appalling!

A waste of market capital.

Only this Lite-speed like this? or is there more?

Ok... how about EB Capital ??

Listed 2nd Aug 2005.

Yesterday I saw this bugger's quarterly earnings.

Sales Revenue: 1.802 million
Net loss: 1.064 million!!!

First quarterly earnings after listing and it reports a net loss!

Imagine a horsie horse in a cup race. The bell rings and the horse stumbles, throwing the jockey off the horsie. How? Out off the gates and already no hope liao!!

Disgusting or not?

You tell me lah.

And worse still, this EB Capital losses is at operating level and the company is net debt.

And lagi worse still for EB Capital, based on yesterday's closing price, EB Capital market capital is worth some 21.4 million.

And lagi, lagi worse still.. just imagine if the bossie owns 13% of this stock. This means the bossie is worth some 2.78 million based on his shares value in the market.

You tell me lah.... how come sky NO eyes one?

So, so easy to be a million hair ar?
So, so easy to be kaya raya!!

Sigh!

And lagi, lagi, lagi worse... just how did such company got listed?

Mana tu QC?

Well, i dunno but u guys and gals but muah is certainly pleased to read that SC is aware of this issue and is enforcing stricter rules.

Comeon... SC let's kick some butt!!!!!!

But there are some who are sceptical.

Will it really help?

I dunno... but... at least the very first small step is being made to rectify this issue.

I shall keep my faith... for now.
