20060512 With the selloff in the world markets, how can FKLI traders use as strategy. For one, looking at the 3 moving averages in the chart, will give clues as to areas of support for the cash index. If we are thinking that there will be 16 days to go to expiration, with a significant discount, I would venture that long at the bands and holding to expiration might provide a high probability trade, which would be safest rather than trade through the volatility, long or short.

20060503 10:22 am. FKLI comes up to fill the gap. (Gap filling trade setup). Notice the Genting SSF FGEN May contract bidding at 24.90 while the cash offer price is 24.70. This is a clear arbitrage opportunity, but the liquidity providers are unable to take advantage. This is due to the cost of executing in the share transaction being prohibitively high. Bursamalaysia really needs to look into allowing liquidity providers (local participants) cheaper transaction costs for stocks like stockist account or investment account of stockbrokers.
