x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	I don't short stocks....STX OSV is one of the most interesting in SGX as it is very volatile....up and down with wide swing.....     tglim74      ( Date: 23-May-2012 22:45) Posted: James did you short this one?  I remember I bought Genting at about 30cents ++ last time (of course I didn't hold it till now). Now if I tell those who buy Genting that the counter will drop to IPO price, I'll be condemned by them   Even years back I bought Kep Corp at $ 2.70++ (of course I didn't hold till now). Now if I tell those who buy Kep Corp that this counter will go back to < $3 again will be condemned by them Looking at the current market situation, those who use the 'short' strategy will most likely gain. Poor me need to wait long long in order to exit...

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Saw this one in other forum. At least it consoles my soul after reading it   Alert: New Parents on the Horizon? All Eyes on a Potential General Offer Target price S$1.90 The Maeil Business Newspaper (South Korea's main daily business newspaper) has reported, citing unidentified industry officials, that the STX Group has reached an agreement to sell its 50.75% stake in STX OSV to Italian shipbuilding Fincantieri and private-equity firm, Carlyle Group, at about S$1.60 / share. The report states that a preliminary agreement is expected to be signed some time this week. STX OSV has not made any official announcement on this. The sale price, according to the report – supposedly based on Friday’s close of S$1.61 - is within our expectations, given the context that the parent has been eager to raise cash to strengthen its balance sheet. The price, however, may be a disappointment to investors expecting a more meaningful premium to recent trading levels. If the deal goes through, it will most likely trigger a mandatory offer (Fincantieri and Carlyle appear to be acting in concert) which, under local takeover rules, must be at a consideration not less than the highest price paid by the offeror within six months prior to the offer period. The offer document will have to be posted within 21 days of the offer announcement and the offer has to be kept open for at least 28 days. Given the minimum consideration stipulated by law, S$1.61 will likely be a near-term floor for the stock price. We are unable to ascertain Fincantieri’s and Carlyle’s intent on taking the STX OSV private, but a general offer price close to S$1.61, may signal that the acquirers are not interested in full control. We think STX OSV presents a unique investment proposition at this juncture, in light of potential downside market volatility leading up to Greece’s elections on 17 June 2012 (and implications on its membership in the EU). At current prices - 1) we believe a minimum general offer price of S$1.61 would act as a put option and limit downside risk in the near-term and 2) we think a 10-20% upside (S$1.80-1.90 general offer price) is probable should Fincantieri and Carlyle wish to take the company private. We continue to like STX OSV's fundamentals and attractive valuations (8.4x forward P/E) but acknowledge that in the absence of a general offer, the stock is unlikely to do well in the current de-risking environment. Apart from sizeable order wins, 2Q12 margins may surprise on the upside (driven by write-back of provisions upon successful project completion 8-9 vessels scheduled for delivery vs 5 in 1Q12) and act as a price catalyst in the coming months. Valuation Our S$1.90 target price is based on a fair-value forward P/E of ~10x (2.9x 2011 P/B). This is a slight premium to average valuations of Singapore-listed small and mid-cap industry peers, which we feel is justified given STX OSV's superior operating performance and position as a leading player in a niche market segment. We base our primary valuation methodology on a P/E multiple as order wins and earnings outlook are key value drivers for shipyards under most market circumstances. A cross-check against a P/E-ROE analysis of STX OSV's industry peer group also backs up our S$1.90 target price. Risks In the near-term, we see financing availability as the key risk which could impede order win momentum. A slower-than-expected order uptake could lead to concerns over earnings visibility beyond FY12. Other downside risks that could prevent the stock from reaching our price target include: i) Margin pressures arising from fall in OSV prices/increases in equipment prices ii) Execution risks resulting in costoverruns or delay penalties iii) Difficulty in collecting customer receivables, especially upon vessel completion and iv) Macroeconomic concerns (e.g. renewed concerns over fiscal problems in Europe hard-landing in China), which may result in increased equity risk premium.

Technically what was said earlier is correct. 1.485 could be tested on knee jerk reaction to whatever unexpected news coming... After wards, its all cleared for the stock to run based on its fundamental. Unless u think u have studied enough to replace a super stock like STX OSV in the present downtrend market...I dont see why we have to sell this stock....A good stock is hard to come by... Keep the good ones, dump the lousy   ones... Thinking : If Carlyle is buying at 1.60....Should I sell at 1.54 now or buy?? Am I smarter than the fund manager to know that STXOSV will drop.....??? I am just an ordinary investor.....

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Agreed, I've said many times here, no reason to sell unless to take profits and shy away from current downside market. Similarily, no reason to buy too. this counters need patient but on long run it's still good. However, don't forget it does get affected by EU crisis. Ultimately, if the price is right for u, then just go for it. In short terms, i would beg to differ that a coy's fundementals sometime have no impact on their stock price. it depend on the BBs who are holding the share whether they buy or whether they sell :) eddyte      ( Date: 23-May-2012 11:00) Posted: Friends, STX OSV is a fantastic stock fundamentally.

If you bought below 1.65, cut losses and sell. If you bought above 1.65, then don't abort and hold onto your baby. If you are lucky, you will be blessed with a beautiful child. If not, don't be anxious about a miscarriage because your baby is dead anyway.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Am still quite confused on this takeover stuff. Can it be the case that only the parent company sells their 51% stake to the Italy's company and it does not affect the ordinary stakeholder? Or due to the 51% stake, if the bidders or buyers buy all the 51% they are obliged to buy all the shares from us ordinary shareholders as well? (SGX rules??)  Confused...confused... Btw it's almost time to cut loss and seek an emergency exit.  Thanks for sharing James.  jamesng      ( Date: 22-May-2012 23:21) Posted: Worse case is the sale is not through.... If the sale go through at $1.60, price will not go above $1.60. Then it depends if there is a take over. If there is, not too bad. If there is not, I think the price will drop further as current price is due to the sale of the 51% stake. Not to forget they just pay the 10 cents dividend and europe situation. Note that the buyer is from Italty. If the sale go through at lower than $1.6 (current buyer drop out and second hghest bidder come into picture). The same above apply except now the highest price is lower than $1.6 tglim74      ( Date: 22-May-2012 22:15) Posted: Your words make me more worried as I am still caught in the high entry point. Was told by my friend to short this one to cut loss as the the parent company has set 1.60 for the highest point for bidder, the price won't go beyond this point. Any short at 1.57 and above has higher successful rate. Furthermore, the so-called takeover is a myth plus the company is in Europe... Any gurus here for advice?

If this is a good counter, market will respond appropriately. If it's over-priced then the price will be corrected to the reasonable value.  Just the recent price ($1.60) released in the  so-called takeover news has somehow caused  some impact to this counter. Good luck! =)
