Short Selling - A Game Changer for Investors in the CSE (Colombo Stock Exchange)

Article Link -  https://www.linkedin.com/posts/pramudithalakshanperera_srilanka-economy-macroeconomics-activity-7082698143636619265-7_jO?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

I am excited to present to you an analytical article that delves into the upcoming introduction of short selling in the Sri Lankan capital market.
In this comprehensive piece, I explore the concept of short selling and analyze its potential implications for Sri Lankan investors. The objective of this article is to provide valuable insights and information that will assist investors in navigating this new and exciting development.

Short selling, a well-established strategy in many other countries, is about to make its new entry into the Colombo stock market. This introduction holds significant importance for our local market, as it opens up new avenues and opportunities for investors. By engaging in short selling, investors can capitalize on market downturns and potentially profit from falling stock prices.

In this article, I aim to shed light on the mechanics of short selling and its potential benefits and risks. I discuss how short selling can contribute to market efficiency, improve price discovery, and enhance overall liquidity. Additionally, I address the concerns and potential drawbacks associated with short selling, emphasizing the importance of implementing robust regulations and risk management practices to safeguard investor interests.

Furthermore, I provide an overview of the regulatory framework that will govern short selling in the Sri Lankan capital market. Understanding these regulations is crucial for investors to navigate the intricacies of this new trading strategy successfully. I highlight the key provisions, disclosure requirements, and monitoring mechanisms put in place to ensure a fair and transparent marketplace.

If you are interested in gaining an understanding of short selling and its implications in our local market, this article is a valuable resource worth reading.

Exterminators PLC, finalist @ International Responsible Business Awards (UK). අවසන් තරඟකරු @ ජාත්‍යන්තර වගකීම් සහිත ව්‍යාපාරික සම්මාන (UK)

Reuters Events Responsible Business Awards are the world’s leading Awards celebrating leadership in sustainable business. It’s more than acknowledging excellent sustainability strategies. The Responsible Business Awards recognise those that are truly having an impact on business, society and the environment – delivering a new blueprint for business in the 21st Century.

Reuters Events Responsible Business Awards යනු තිරසාර ව්‍යාපාරයේ නායකත්වය සමරන ලොව ප්‍රමුඛතම සම්මාන වේ. එය විශිෂ්ට තිරසාර උපාය මාර්ග පිළිගැනීමට වඩා වැඩි ය. වගකීම් සහිත ව්‍යාපාරික සම්මාන මගින් ව්‍යාපාර, සමාජය සහ පරිසරය කෙරෙහි සැබවින්ම බලපෑමක් ඇති කරන ඒවා හඳුනා ගනී - 21 වන සියවසේ ව්‍යාපාර සඳහා නව සැලැස්මක් ලබා දෙයි.

For the past 13 years our Awards have served as the benchmark for businesses from across the globe that are looking to showcase real leadership against their international peers. In 2022, we’ll be returning to recognising sustainability leaders during a prestigious in person Awards gala in London.

පසුගිය වසර 13 තුළ Reuters (UK) සම්මාන සැබෑ නායකත්වය ප්‍රදර්ශනය කිරීමට අපේක්ෂා කරන ලොව පුරා ව්‍යාපාර සඳහා මිණුම් ලකුණ ලෙස සේවය කර ඇත. 2022 දී, අපි ලන්ඩනයේ කීර්තිමත් සම්මාන උළෙලකදී තිරසාර සමාගම් හඳුනා ගන්නෙමු.

Did you know elections can move the stock market and your chance of profiting from it is high if you time it right? ⁣ ⁣ After days of teasing, Mako finally announced it is on August 5th. ⁣ ⁣ Fundalyse Intelligence took the liberty of analyzing movements of the ASPI index from the date of announcement until the big day during the past five years.⁣ ⁣ Why does your vote matter to the stock market? Elections can have a long-term effect on the economy and people's lives. It gives power to the public to decide whether they want to re-elect the existing government and stick with the status quo without disrupting their plans for the country or to change the regime by voting for the opposition if they are unhappy. Ultimately, your vote awards a political party a mandate to govern the country and introduce policies that are market-friendly and can bring economic stability, consistent policies that would impact our businesses and lives positively but most of the time it has been a let down in Sri Lanka. Our votes are taken for granted and they b**** slap our faces with disappointment. But we are here not to get political about it. ⁣ ⁣ By looking at the data and the performance of the ASPI, it can help you prepare for the upcoming elections. The index tends to be volatile and rallies to about 6-8% from the trough, a month before the big day. It recovers the losses it made before it starts to reverse again after elections making it shortlived phase. Studies have shown that the market reacted positively to the elections before and during the elections and negatively after the election during the last 5 years. Therefore it doesn't matter who comes to power, but the implementation of sound consistent economic, market-friendly policies along with political stability will increase the business confidence making the markets prosper in the long run. ⁣ ⁣ However, unlike any other elections, this time the parliamentary election is a different ball game due to COVID-19 because you won't be seeing stage rallies and V8's on the street which increases consumption in the economy which could hinder the rally in #cse or maybe not. ⁣ ⁣ #srilanka #elections #stockmarket #covid19

250 D2D minutes, 250 D2D SMS & 1 GB of anytime Data free for 7 days each week throughout the curfew period came with a cost to Dialog which has affected their income streams. Ever since the curfew was imposed, usage traffic from corporates took a dip which shifted to data demand surging from your house after the government initiated the 'Work from Home' strategy which your company or business had to implement. The concessionary products offered during the curfew period resulted in an overload in the network including unprecedented Zoom sessions and seminars from friends and the office, online games, unrestricted access to the social networks by all of your family members which Dialog believes they were able to manage the overload on the network with minimal user impact. Apart from WFH concessions and currency fluctuations, no Sri Lankans flew out of the country resulting in their roaming revenue taking a hit which accounts for 2% of the total revenue.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Yet, Dialog has been resilient and remains Sri Lanka's No. 1 brand with a Triple-A rating but its brand value decreasing by 10% during COVID-19. Besides, they have been one of the generous public listed corporates in the country where they pledge to donate Rs. 200 million to provide state of the art medical facilities and enhance ICU's of hospitals in the country. They've donated high tech telecommunication hardware to 20 hospitals around the country, donated another additional Rs. 50 million to provide rations to affected people in the country.⁣ ⁣ ⁣⁣ DIAL.N0000 has been testing 5G in the country since last year which is driven by the high use of online video streaming and content, they plan to bank on the new norm & WFH culture by introducing WFH packages and bundles as companies turn to cut down costs and move towards increasing work productivity. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Be sure to follow us on @fundalyse to learn about how the stock market and never miss what is happening on the Sri Lanka stock market. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #stockmarket #srilanka #equities #coronavirus #dialogaxiata

Lion Beer thinks that you won't be drinking as you used to for a while. Since tourism is at ground zero, nightclubs and bars are closed for social gatherings, your salary cuts which won't leave you enough money to grab a pint, and the rising unemployment in the country has affected their future growth prospects. Since the rise of illegal alcohol manufacturing, also known as 'kassipu' over the past few months, LION.N0000 started to resume operations immediately as soon as the government relaxed the curfew laws to grab its share which was starting to deteriorate from the illegal moonshine producers. Besides, social distancing implementation on wine stores will indirectly affect Lion's recovery since the future is uncertain due to consumers not adhering to social distancing rules imposed by the health ministry which is strictly monitored and implemented by the Tri-Forces.⁣ ⁣ However, Lion Brewery being the largest beer manufacturer in the country which has a strong brand value up by 1% with a strong rating of A+ post-COVID-19. It is confident that its strong country presence via its chain of "Machan" pubs and international presence in cities such as New York and Melbourne will remain strong to support the medium-term recovery. ⁣ ⁣ Be sure to follow us on @fundalyse to learn about how the stock market and never miss what is happening on the Sri Lanka stock market. ⁣ #stockmarket #srilanka #equities #coronavirus

Winter is coming for CSE! Top analysts of Echelon Square warned investors and traders at a Zoom session hosted by Echelon Magazine titled ‘Blood on the Street’ in Colombo, Sri Lanka discussing the outlook of capital markets post COVID-19, that the stock market rout is far from over and is expecting a further drop of at least 700 points or 15% from the last closing and broad market corporate earnings to fall by 30% losing half of the stock market value in the coming days and months. The market is anticipating panic selling and foreign outflows close to Rs. 40 billion or more alone over the coming trading periods especially due to the fears of defaulting on the International Sovereign Bond (ISB's) by GOSL and the unsettling nature of the pandemic which has caused more economic damage to highly debt-ridden frontier and emerging markets like Sri Lanka. The mass exodus of funds is also likely to be caused by the closure of the country’s only stock exchange for seven consecutive weeks to curb the spread of the virus which also dented investor confidence and ignited fear. Discreetly implying adapting the "sell in May and go away" strategy by conserving cash in the short term as markets look ahead for a lot more pain. The island's economy could take a few years to bounce back to positive territory, largely depending on the fiscal management of the country and the hope of vaccination to curb the pandemic to prevent new cases further escalating. Recoveries of regional exchanges are seen, however, market analysts around the world are preparing that the latest rally also is known to be a 'relief rally' could be the start of a painful bear market, therefore, stock markets haven't reached their bottom yet. The Colombo Stock Exchange opens on Monday only for 2hrs starting from 11:00 a.m local time. #cse #srilanka# #stockmarket #stocks #equities #sl #stockmarketcrash #coronavirus #covid19 #frontiermarkets #emergingmarkets #investments #colombostockexchange

ASI calendar year returns - Mon Mar 02, 2020 5:44 pm

Below illustration depicts the #stockmarket #return, based on ASI (Bloomberg: #CSEALL ) for the past 35 years from 1985 to 2019, on calendar year basis. #ASI total return #index (which considers dividends) was not used as it is only available from 2004 onwards.

Accordingly,
- The stock market has experienced more positive years than negative years
- For the past 35 years, the index posted positive calendar year returns 60% of the time and negative calendar returns 40% of the time
- The worst calendar year return was -41% posted in 2008, during the global financial crisis and at the height of the war. The best return was 125% posted in 2009 at the end of the war
- Regardless of the bad press on the stock market, #listed #equities have delivered #wealth for its participants over time. ASI has posted an average calendar year return of 42% over the positive years and -15% over the negative years

As data indicates, the pattern of #returns differs over the years. Thus anyone who chooses to #invest in listed equities, should learn to accept the negative years. You need courage and patience to stay invested through #bearmarket since no one can consistently time the market to get in and out and skip down years.
