Had the regulator exercised greater vigilance, been more discerning and not content with standard replies issued by listed firms to queries, and stepped in to investigate matters when price increases continued unabated, the problem would not have escalated this far. It appears that the SGX's action came too late.
We agree with senior correspondent Goh Eng Yeow (" Confusion continues over trading curbs on 'designated' stocks" Wednesday) that the confusion and disarray that followed are cause for concern and unhappiness among remisiers and investors.
Many attributed this to the lack of clarity in instructions by the SGX. As a result, interpretation among broking houses differed. Even within the same firm, interpretation was ever changing.
Under SGX guidelines, despite the upfront payment, investors cannot sell until after the due date, which is four days later.
Meanwhile, clients cannot react to market dynamics. Only investors who still believe in the stock and plan to hold it for the long term will buy, and the rest may not. Hence, demand would be gravely curtailed and this would further contribute to sliding share prices.
Currently, owing to the confusion, many clients have sold these securities before the due date. They now run the risk of a possible buying-in with fines for short-selling, unless the SGX makes an exception to the rule for these trades.
We are baffled by this guideline, given that the SGX securities trading rulebook has a directive for " designated" stocks under 8.8.2(2) of Section C, which provides " a restriction on all dealings to immediate bargains" .
" Immediate bargains" are defined as transactions for delivery at the trade date, and the securities shall be credited to the investor's Central Depository (CDP) account by 3pm the next day. This arrangement is straightforward and a tidy way to deal with such " designated" securities effectively.
Compounding matters, clients are now required to show satisfactory evidence that they own the " designated" security, either with the CDP or other custodians, before they are allowed to sell.
Clients are further upset over this new ruling, which is onerous, impractical and illogical. The SGX's handling of the situation, so far, has been amateurish.

Singapore Exchange to Adopt Circuit Breakers by Early Next Year Oct. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Singapore Exchange Ltd., Southeast Asia?s biggest bourse, plans to add circuit breakers by early next year after a plunge in shares of three commodity companies erased $6.9 billion in market value over three days. Under the proposal, trading of a stock will be halted for 5 minutes if it breaches 10 percent in either direction, the exchange said in an e-mailed response to queries. The bourse sought public feedback on the plan in June, it said. ?We aim to introduce the dynamic circuit breakers by early next year subject to regulatory approvals,? Joan Lew, a spokeswoman for the exchange, said in the statement today. The bourse operator imposed trading restrictions this week on Blumont Group Ltd., Asiasons Capital Ltd. and LionGold Corp. after their stock prices plunged. Trading caps to prevent sharp gains or losses will give investors time to assess their holdings, according to Liquidnet Holdings Inc. and the Securities Investors Association of Singapore. Regulators worldwide have evaluated safeguards since the May 2010 plunge known as the flash crash briefly erased about $862 billion from the value of U.S. equities. American exchanges have implemented a limit-up/limit-down initiative that prevents market makers from quoting shares at prices deemed too far above or below current levels. The Singapore exchange said Oct. 6 that shares of the three companies have been declared designated securities, prohibiting investors from selling them unless they hold the same quantity of stock. Buyers must make cash payments for the transactions, it added. Exchange Probe The bourse said in a separate statement today there were short sales on Blumont and Asiasons on Oct. 7, contrary to trading directions it gave after classifying them as designated securities. ?We will be investigating these cases and take the appropriate disciplinary actions as necessary,? Kelvin Koh, head of market surveillance at the Singapore Exchange, said in the statement. ?SGX will continue to monitor closely the market in the three designated securities. We will assess the trading conditions and lift the designation as soon as it is appropriate to do so.? Regulators around the world have stepped up oversight of capital markets after the global financial crisis in 2008. The Monetary Authority of Singapore established a 13-member council in 2010 with the goal of boosting corporate governance standards and investor confidence. Blumont, Asiasons Blumont, which invests in minerals and energy, slumped 94 percent over two trading days on Oct. 4 and Oct. 7. That shaved S$4.9 billion ($3.9 billion) off its market value, prompting the company to scrap a proposed S$146 million acquisition of Australia?s Cokal Ltd. Asiasons, which last month bought a stake in U.S. oil and gas producer Black Elk Energy Offshore Operations LLC, tumbled 96 percent over the three trading days through Oct. 8, shaving S$2.5 billion in market value. LionGold, which said this week it?s in advanced negotiations for a possible acquisition of Minera IRL Ltd., a gold explorer in Peru, Argentina and Chile, plunged 87 percent over the three-day period, wiping off S$1.2 billion in market value. The decision to introduce circuit breakers comes one month after Everbright Securities Co. announced a 523 million yuan ($85 million) loss after $3.8 billion in erroneous trading orders that roiled China?s equity market and drew a record regulatory penalty that banned four executives from the market for life. Trading in the National Stock Exchange of India?s Nifty index and some individual companies stopped for 15 minutes in Mumbai a year ago after the 50-stock gauge tumbled as much as 16 percent. A brokerage that mishandled trades for an institutional client was to blame, the exchange said then. Markets including South Korea, India and Taiwan use circuit breakers, while countries including Japan have daily price limits depending on their value, according to CLSA Ltd. |

Best to give these 3, an arm length distance even with cheap cheap price becoz every day there are new discloses about hanky panky happening for the huge gap down. The authority must wake up one day soon and investigate all 3. In order to confirm once and for all....esp for those who lost their shirts and their own reputation.
