Who is selling?... this is a good question. It is kind of discouraging that 1 house could buy 707k in one day (i.e. 70% of shres traded yesterday) and share price opens lower, only reaching a high of plus 1 cent, and ends the day up a half a cent. Go figure?!? Yesterday though there did not appear to be any house on the relatively large sell side... retailers made up top 5 sellers yesterday with only 1 selling +200k... and that was TD who have been up and down here like a dog's stomach. :D See house positions for yesterday below.
On the positive side... we have not seen such a single large buyer of SGX for quite some time so this is good. You must admit 1 house buying 707k shares for a total of $157,000 on the public market and selling 0 is not something to laugh at. If you include 125k yesterday, GMPs 2 day total is 832k totalling ~$183,000. This is a significant investment. Question is why? I have no idea but I hope we find out soon.
Also, I think it is important to consider GMPs history... as I posted yesterday since Jan 2005, GMP has been a significant net buyer and other than 125k in June 2007 they have sold 0. See below for GMP history. Since March 2008 GMP has been a significant net buyer, accumulating a net position of well over 1 million shares at 22-30 cents. Again, nothing to ignore IMO.
Question for today is... are they done? or will buying continue? I hope buying continues :D.
