I am worried ! Please share your views.

Be greedy when others are fear..hahaaaa

Hi All,
Thanks for your kind input.

Can I request you all to predict the lowest share price the below shares will fall once its starts trading. This will give me some sort of an idea of my liability towards the broker.

LOLC
TILE
COLO
DOCK

Thanks everyone !!

Sri lanka's situation has improved so I don't think market will go down in big amount.

lolc can't go down as they finalised that deal. there is a chance the price go a little bit up.

Tile - America and Europe are not happy with China because of corona. this will be a great opportunity for country like Sri Lanka to grab some market share, especially tile sector. around 50 maybe.

colonial - it will go down a bit because of their motor vehicle section and property development section. price around 30 possible.

Dock - it will go down but not much as lots of stock holders apparently don't want to sell. around Rs 40 most likely.

I have studied little bit about those but
I don't hold any in my portfolio. Tile is the only one I can recommend.

Hi, thanks a lot Junior investor for your kind input. Appreciate it very much... Any tentative timelines of opening the market. I am very much happy if it will be kept closed considering my issue. lol. Thanks again for your input.

next Wednesday

My assessment of LOLC is as follows.

It's not a bad stock to hold on as the Company is performing quite reasonably. 

Group NBV per share is around 190 as per the latest financial statements. As far as performance is also concerned, I would say it's performance is at a good level despite all the adverse situations in the economy. However, my only worry is that given the current situation post-Covid -19, it's quite difficult to predict where it could potentially move. However, as per my assessment, LOLC's downward movement could be Rs 65 to 70, whereas upward movement could be 90 to 95 over the next 6 to 9 months.

But, it's quite difficult to forecast a price using the typical valuation methods given COVID 19 impact could potentially take the price somewhere we would never imagine of

Sorry upward up to Rs. 100 and downward Rs.75 level

Egg, 

Looks like you have entered at slightly a higher price when you acquired these shares. Of course, LOLC, at a very high price which you shouldn't have paid at that time. For others, although it looks slightly towards the higher range, one can't blame you for entering at that price because one would have thought they are undervalued looking at the net assets base. I think we all, including myself make this mistake by catching a share just looking at the all-time high price and think it will increase to that level again. This is where I advise to use safety of margin of at least 30% to minimize downward risk

Sell LOLC when market open which will be most immuned.  Dont trust anyone. There will be investors who wants to punt LOLC thinking its high side.

I guess Ishara and his funded boys like Tushan Wickramasinghe led by Capital Trust will be selling.

Hi EquityPlus,
Thanks for your input. Yes, I bought at these prices thinking it will go up and I will be able to make a quick buck. Never knew Covid-19 will hit us so badly.
Let's hope for the best.
If anyone can think of a better game plan for me to get out of this mess, kindly share your views.
I would like to thank all of you for taking time to share your valuable input. Thanks guys !!

Can you kindly let me know if the market will drop further when it starts trading. If so, what will be the approx ASI index we are looking at. I have a portfolio of 3.6M and 80% outstanding. My outstanding keeps increasing when the portfolio drops. So I am worried if I should sell and exit when it starts trading. If not, my portfolio value will not be sufficient to cover the outstanding amount. Also, I have no way to pump in cash to settle the outstanding either.

Please let me know your views pls.

Thanks

I can understand the situation and I have faced similar situations in my early days. I ll give my opinion on this but the final decision should be taken by you. Thre is a very high probability to further drop the market in its opening and short to medium term. so your investment can further drop and your outstanding will increase further. so it is less risky to sell all your investment sooner for the highest price and pay the outstanding about to stockbroker and keep left with you which you can use to repurchase once the market touches its bottom. This is the least risky decision since you are in a marginal trade position.

The answer I have given early for you is quite right. Now If you are still there, there is some time for you to take the right decision at the right time. money is yours and also the decision is yours. This is up to you my friend!!

Great advise.
LOLC lost only 80 cents less than 1%. About 55,000 shares traded. Very few had the opportunity to sell as the market closed within 38 seconds. Hope @Egg was luck to have exited.

My advice is sell minimum loss shares and bring down your margin to 50%.

Dear all,
Thanks for checking on me. I managed to find some cash and reduced the exposure close to 40%.
I would like to thank all of you for taking time and sharing your kind input which is greatly appreciated.
It's nice to know that we are there for each other and atleast support each other by sharing our knowledge and expertise. Once again, thanks everyone. Good luck to all.

EGG,
Even the ECG (Electrocardiogram) tracing goes up & down indicating you are alive, if it is flat then you are gone for good. I am sure the lesson learnt will make you more wiser in the future.GL
