Vikey. 
Do not worry. 
The sales are tiny compared to what they have.
 I recall such moves happened in 2010 before huge run.

Curious about your description of Cflb as a rocket. I agree. Like to know your reasons/information.

Yes this will move like a rocket from tomorrow on-words. Because CFLB owns 65% of holding of COLO.

Won't you recommend this counter is a good one? Most of our forum members recommended CFLB as a good counter. If you have more information please be kind enough to share with us too.

Check The Equity Check forum. Good coverage. I get information from there.

For those who hold on to CFLB, check the disposal of shares by Rajaratnams

Wonder whats cooking in his mind when half of the CSE is waiting till this counter clears 15 rs.

DC. 
I have been told same games in 2010 before major move. This is peanut quantity for Rajaratnams.

Best period of Cflb under Senathirajah. His brother AR time at the helm marked a dark period. SDRA in the mold of S.R. See the bold decisions like Kia disposal.

Kadik 
You have been here from 2011. You must recall the Cflb story. Your take?

@ Kipling, I get what you are saying.290,000 shares in total might be a very limited quantity. But the sheer timing baffles me..

Yes absolutely. However I know a few things about that Family. Let’s just say SDRA taking over great. See how lite mull colo turned around. He is also a big investor in cse. So he appreciates good governance transparency dividends professional management & capital gains for minority shareholders.

Than you for the detailed information. What do you think of the CFLB price next week ? 
As I aware this can move up to 18 level  before mid OCTOBER .  Can you give us a predicted price for next week ??

Why i am saying CFLB is a hidden gem
·         40 billion turnover company
·         They have about 40 subsidiaries belong to CFLB
·         It's land bank in heart of Colombo
·         investment in Quoted  and  non Quoted Companies
 
2019
"High-interest rates, high taxes, subdued demand as a result of low consumer spending, and weak commodity prices have all had an impact on the performance of the Group." Chairman saying in 2019 Annual report.
2020
But in this year.(2020) Interest rate reduced to all time low.
·         interest expenses  will reduce sharply resulting higher profit in this year
·         Vat reduced and consumer spending recovering higher income from all sectors.
 
In 2019
" The steep decline in tea prices witnessed at the Colombo Auction as well as continued weakness in the global
the market for Natural Rubber has seen both the Group’s Plantation companies run at a significant loss."
In 2020
Good Tea and Rubber prices both have a greater impact on their plantation losses to reduce and come to come profitability
 
 
They have about 40 subsidiaries belong to CFLB (page 83 of annual report 2019) Some had greater run recently reflecting their share price to increase due to either reducing their losses or recording healthy profits
I am only  giving few of them here.

Subsidiary	Effective holding by CFLB	2019 march price	2020 oct. 2 price	PRICE CHANGE %
CWM	38%	36	45.00	25%
KOTA	61%	5	8.10	62%
LDEV	47.3%	2.2	5.60	154%
LITE	31%	9	17.10	90%
COLO	65%	50	80.00	60%
YORK	50%	60	110.00	83%
MARA		1.20	2.30	91%
Average growth %				80%

 

	2019 march price	2020 oct. 2 price	PRICE CHANGE %
CFLB	Rs 9.50	Rs 13.90	46

 
Comparing the above figure we can clearly see that the price increase of its subsidiaries are not reflected in CFLB share price. some of its subsidiaries have increased there prices over 80% ( LDEV 154%, LITE 90%). Therefore we can see that CFLB share price has a clear upward revision to come to its fair value. Not only that subsidiaries like COLO are still greatly undervalued compare to their peers like CINV and GUAR.
 
Sunquick Lanka (Private) Limited
C.W. Makie PLC has a 49% interest in Sunquick Lanka (Private) Limited, a joint  venture formed for the purpose of manufacturing, processing, and marketing Co-Ro’s products in the form of concentrates and ready to drink (RTD) products marketed under the’Sunquick’ brand.

Yes I know this is a real HIDDEN GEM. I say to all do not sell @ current price range Before mid October this should reach 16+ level. GL

JC
I read the Posts of WS & BB & PAT on TEC.  They say cflb is not a trading share in this market. I feel so sad for those who sell @ 16. They should do a thorough analysis & get the real value. All I can say is even @ 50 it represents “ kunu kolleta deema “.

Dear Friends
I have a collection of CFLB 35,000 nos of shares which I have bought in last month. Most of guys are in promising of a boost with this share in coming days.
 But I need to clarify this, 
If I'm not mistaken, considerable no of shares have been sold at 12.50 - 14.90 by directors or Related party after August. What's the logic behind this? If Directors have a trust of a price appreciation why they sold? Yesterday also seen a price drop.

Is it  better to sell or hold ???
Appreciate all your honest ideas or any confirmed background information if you have.. Thanks

i will focus for now on nav valuation.
Nav as per QR June is 23. Investment Properties as per VALUE estimate adds 22 (5,000/225). If we assume share portfolio doubles that adds further 5(1200/225). Revised nav 50. Assume pbv of 1.5. So the potential is clear especially as earnings recovery will keep adding to nav & group Investment Properties (Alchemist - 206p on Union Place should be valued at more than 15mn/perch) & Equity PF can post bigger gains.
This is perfect BB. We all encouraged by your findings. I think we all can move ahead with this counter now. Here on wards the journey is easy and comfortable.
So I think this is useful for us to do analysis. GL

yes, I appreciate BB's findings in this regard. Regarding directors selling. The last selling was on Oct 2 before the corona dip when the price appreciates he has sold small quantity. I don't know his intention may be personal.nothing to worry I think. But when the reports out in comming days we can see the finacial progress of CFLB.

This share keeps fluctuating but does not pass above 13..
Sell or hold?

One of directors was dealing his shares as usual from the history.

Let the directors finish playing their games. What price did you enter? Assuming you entered at 13..... average if price falls to 10.50... this happened several times over last few weeks. If you can then hold this for 1yr price will be going up towards 17 as per the technicals and fundamentals. You can see this is a comprehensive post put on TEC forum and linked in a post above. Don’t be in a hurry to sell at a loss. I hold 20k shares bought at 13.

As you said read cseguide & on TEC WS & BB. Just think should a diversified nearly 40BN TO group with a huge consumer segment & the huge drag of plantations (now become rocket) have market capitalization of 4.5 Bn even at price of 20. Think dear friend. CWM last Q net up 78%.

This Scenario is still Valid





See the Key levels 15,17,18 and 20.

This isn't a trading share in my Opinion. It's best to hold for the MT to LT.

I entered at 13 too... I don't intend to trade this share but hold and from the looks of it, this is what I will do. Thank you for the clarity!
