JT International Bhd made an announcement to Bursa Malaysia on 21 May 2014 after the market have close. (after 5 pm), on the REVISED takeover offer price to RM8.20 from RM7.80 previously.

If you look at the price pattern of JT International Bhd on 21 May 2014, you’ll notice the price were suddenly PUSH UP by “invisible hand” starting from 3pm onwards.

---

It was closed  at RM8.14(Up by RM0.35) as the number one Top Gainer at Bursa Malaysia for the day.

The general public especially the minority shareholders, have acknowledge that the take offer price was fixed at RM7.80 and never it the past the price have ever break above RM7.80 high. Therefore, nobody in logical sense will buying up JT International Bhd’s stock to above RM7.80 unless they know something special.

Off course, It will not be you and me!

My logic was wrong as they are some invisible hand who were more willing to buy up the stock until it hit RM8.14.

I don’t know who are those invisible hand but I guest the enforcement people at Bursa Malaysia will know who the buyers are. They have all the records of the buyer and seller for that(all)  stocks.

I guest those invisible hand must have get the “insider information” earlier than the general public and act on this sensitive information.

Tell me what would you do if you still holding the JT International Bhd’s stock and notice the price has break above the offer price of RM7.80(i,e RM7.90)  at 3pm on 21 May 2014?

I guest you’ll sell it at RM7.90 in the market,right?

From a short of 2 hours of trading, from 3pm to 5pm, the value traded for JT International Bhd’s stock was over RM2 Million.

But who are those buyers?

Is this an Insider Trading in Bursa Malaysia?

Nobody will know except the brokers and the people at Bursa Malaysia!
