tanjong

how come PETRONAS have 3 ?
Pet Gas, MISC-F, Petronas Dagangan?

bullish on SPSetia.
we could well see MMC in there since they increased their ownership of Zelan as naz pointed out. Something's up.

I think the new list will not have the subsidiaries. Odd to have one company, and lots of subsidiaries in there.

Genting have Genting Berhad and Genting Malaysia (aka Resorts)?

And will MAS make the cut or left out? This near PN17 company....

Added on June 26, 2009, 5:08 pmThanks Mopster....Never saw the news at the Edge on it. So looks like its confirm that on July 6, these 30 will be the KLCI holders. Odd, MAS also included..

yes, exactly, why MAS?

So, rightfully, TM and Axiata oso cronies?
Noticed that ASTRO, MMC, Axiata, Parkson, all up.

Actually KLSE lack of big cap name, so which will be included is already highly predictable in the first place.

Petrogas and Petdag are running in different segment, and revenue wise is not conflicting or derived from each other, so it is still fine.

But for Resort or Genm and Genting, it is different story, as bulk of Genting revenue is come from Genm, which in Genting book, revenue and profit already inclduing Genm, so you duplicating the effect of Genm.
Genm is associate company of Genting.

So Genm fundamental has 2x effect on the new 30 CI index.

ok, agreed with Cherroy on Genting & Co.

So, which good company left out?

How good is Maybulk?

Didn't see any other O&G big name (except for taikor Petronas)

TRANMIL!!!!

ok dun throw me with your old shoes

Technically TM and Axita are now separate entities, right ? but yeah.. like u say.. cronies lol..
Somehow i dont understand why Parkson can be in.. market capitalization ? their stock swings a lot during trading but always get "pushed" up at the end..

err newbie question again.. so on 6th July the index will have different value ? like today close 1075.. tomolo we start at a different value because of a different benchmark ? should beginners stay off for sometime to monitor and get used to it first ? ty

if 3/7 (friday) close at 1075, on 6/7 (monday) it will open at 1075.

the numbers will not be reset.

apparently, the index will continue from where it was left out the previous trading day only with 30 counters instead of 102.

Like it gets mentioned in one of the links, The FBM 30 is underrepresented in transportation, logistics, conglomerates and oil & gas.

Maybulk not there. IJM will be great company to have for properties/construction.

Actually I don't see a strong reason to revamp current CI, changing "new soup without changing the medicine/ingredient" makes not much different actually.

Changing the free float mode could be understandable, but ditching out some name and including especially on both Resorts and Genting seems not right.

Index work at best is to represent the major company in the stock exchange and economy of the country.

It is not made to be look 'high' then can be proud of if the index looks high.

Anyway, just my opinion.

with the new benchmark could it be easier to manipulate KLCI ?
EPF already the major shareholder in most of them..

then the KLCI cannot be used as a reference to the country's economy liao. since some sectors are not included..
index can be green.. but construction,transport stocks all dead.. no one knows.. LOL

Astro also included in the list ..
