GENS-C8 and GENS-CC dived after 2011 Q1 Result

What a joke!

GENS-C8 and GENS-CC dived after briefly raise a few cents when Genting Singapore's 2011's 1st quarter result being announced. Instead of moving higher, the share had just upped RM0.005 as at of today, 16th May 2011.

The performance of Resort World Sentosa having a much better result than Marina Bay Sands (MBS) doesn't lift it's stock higher. With MBS sinking 10% after their announcement, maybe Genting Singapore should felt relieve to be able to stay above it's last price before announcement instead of diving.

As for KLSE888 portfolio, a dilemma sets in:

1. Is GENS-C8 and GENS-CC a good pick
2. What's KLSE888 portfolio's next step: sell now to avoid potential further loss and scout for a new replacement, OR hold it till it finds a new promising stock to swap to?

As at of the price now (GENS-C8 at RM0.195 last done price, with buy queue at RM0.185, and GENS-CC at RM0.195 with buy queue at the same price), KLSE888 portfolio seems to suffer a paper loss of around RM800 (-13%, portfolio stands at RM5,300). 

While KLSE888 portfolio still have a surplus of RM300 (6%) since it's inception of RM5000, what shall be its next move to ensure it achieve its goal of 50% return in 6 months (now into the 3rd month)?

Genting Singapore Q1 result out in 12 May 2011.

Genting Singapore's first quarter result for 2011 shall be out on 12th May, 2011, after trading hours.

Recently, Genting Singapore's share fell after rival Las Vegas Sands missed analyst result target in their financial report, thus raising concerns about Genting Singapore's own result due out in the coming week.

As of today 5 May 2011, GENS-CC closed at RM0.10 and GENS-C8 closed at RM0.19. On KLSE888 portfolio, this downtrend had reversed the previous 3-week gain of 6%, thus making the portfolio having a -9% instead.

The question to ponder now is, will Genting Singapore suffers the fate of Marina Bay Sands, missing the analyst profit target?

GENS-C8 at RM0.23. GENS-CC at RM0.13. KLSE888 Portfolio 6% growth in 3 weeks.

KLSE888 portfolio's growth have been on target since it's inception in March 2011. With RM5,000 capital, the portfolio had increased in size, with the latest total fund stands at around RM6600.

Currently, there are 2 stocks in this portfolio: GENS-C8 (bought at RM0.21) and GENS-CC (bought at RM0.12). Although there's a dip during the 2nd and 3rd week of April, this 2 stocks (call warrants) had managed a comeback. If KLSE888 had more funds, it shall definitely average down on those price dive!

At today's closing price, KLSE888 had managed to enjoy a paper gain of 6%. Hopefully, by the end of April 2011, it can hit a 10% gain as the portfolio outlined earlier this month as it dispose off MEGB to swap to these two counters.

Sold MEGB (30% profit). KLSE888 portfolio @ RM6000 (20% profit).

KLSE888 portfolio manage to sell MEGB at RM2.30 today. 30% of profit pocketed within a month. Overall, whole KLSE888 portfolio stands at around RM6000 (20% increase from RM5000 capital within 1 months since inception).

Why did I sell MEGB when it is still bullish? My reason being simple:

1. My target for MEGB is 30% profit.
   
   
2. I had identified another stock which I think will bull in the coming weeks: GENS-C8 and GENS-CC.
   I think GENS will outrun MEGB in short term, since MEGB had up by 30% since it's low last month.
   Thus, I had swapped MEGB with both GENS-C8 (RM0.21) & GENS-CC (RM0.12)

Reason for me to choose GENS-C8 and GENS-CC:

1. Genting Singapore is going to announce it's 1st quarter result on May 2011. I am betting it to be very good, due to CNY 2011 profit and also the disposal of the money-losing GEN UK business.
   
   
2. I think the current mother share price will reached SGD2.20 - 2.25 (today's closing price is SGD2.12, 52-week high was at SGD2.35).

Downside for picking GENS-C8 and GENS-CC:

1. Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay always give me surprises (e.g. last quarter loses).
   
2. I don't have luck with Genting :D

I shall monitor the coming weeks to determine whether my decision is right or not. My target is for a 10 - 20% profit exit (period around 2 weeks to 1 month).
