last friday, early morning at 9 something
i look at the movement of PBBANK, PBBANK-O1 & its call warrants
the call warrants & PBBANK-O1 started to move
but PBBANK still at the previous day closing price, which was 11.00
i sense something,
so i quickly call up my remisier to buy PBBANK (for intra day purposes)
i queue at 11.00, mana tau, not long after, the price went up to 11.30 (highest for that day), haha!

you guys may buy the PBBANK-CD (to keep for atleast a week)
reason : PBBANK will announce its financial report on the coming week, and also announce the dividends for March 2008
once mothershares move, the child will follow
look at the statistic on last friday, PBBANK-CD is one of the top trading volume

Pana,
Remember to discount the potential dividend given out if really want to go for the CW, as dividend given out will be deducting the share price out.
I didn't do the fair value calculation on its CWs now but the dividend issue need to be taking into it.
If CWs is trading at discount after deducting out the potential dividend then CWs can be considered depends on individual issue which I will put on the below scenario especially regarding cash flow issue.
For eg.
You really want to buy PBBank at 11.00, so one will fork out 11K for it.
On the other hand,
(this seldom happened but do happen occassional when market tumble time) If PBBank-Cx after adding up conversion value and its price, total value let say it is trading at 1.00 (exercise 9.40, ratio 1:1) = 10.40, potential dividend expected in the period before Cws expired 0.60, so in this case, it is more wise to go for CW as you have the advantage of gearing.
As CW will move tightly with mothershare price, even if its expire, you can fork out the money to buy its mothershare latter which in turn has the same amount and effect with initially straight away fork out 11K for it.
That's how hedge funds, portfolio managers play their game on it.
Scenario 1
Fork out 11k straight away
Scenario 2
Buy fair value/discount CW/W at 1.00 (to simplify the case without consider dividend first exercise price 10.00, ratio 1:1), you free out the 10K in the period before CW expire, the 10K even put in FD still gain interest out of it.
Eg. when CW expire time
Pbbank share drops to 10.00,
Scenario 1 & 2, both lose 1K, same. You stil can fork out 10K to buy it afterwards when CW expired which in turn same as 11K initial put out
Pbbank share drops to 9.00
Scenario 1 lose 2K
Scenario 2 lose 1K, while you can fork out 9K which become total cost of owning Pbbank become 10K only compared to 11K initially.
Pbbank share goes up to 12.00
Both gain 1K while scenario 2 gains extra FD interest out of 10K in the period before CW expired.
This only applicable to Warrant or CW that are trading at fair value or discount after taking account of dividend issue.
Just sharing some information. Judge you own based on which one suit to you.
