Something should be done about the illiquid stocks.

Some serious questions need to be asked, but as usual everyone will pretend that nothing happened. I shudder to think where this is going to end.

ASI reflects the entire market, from small liquid stocks to large illiquid stocks. Even if there is a single trade on a large illiquid stock, it will move the market. This is how it happens all over the world. This is why there are sectoral indices published by each market.

this is the effort made on the peak trading day, come tmrrw and you will see the gradual drop untill it reaches resistance levels.

Except for value stocks like BUKI, CARS, CINV,

CINV is a value investment and still affordable, few days back I pointed this would run soon..
But today's move is simply too much and just started with this CARS rally.. this is not showing the real potential.. its just a rally..
I'm not sure whether this end up in a price ban today..

Salt, you are correct about free-float method but that is not what I meant. I think I need to clarify my statement.

Even in a free-float method, the index is weighted on the free-float of the shares (i.e. excluding all shares held by the company/directors). However, that does not help the liquidity problem.

If you look at BUKI.N for example (at their annual report for 2010 - http://www.cse.lk/cmt/upload_report_file/456_1275387158958.pdf page:104), you will see that out of 10Mn shares issued, only 237000 has traded the entire year. Shareholding by directorate is very low compared to 10M shares.

Isn't this correct?

This is mainly due to the movement of the shares in the CARS group. However, for most of the investors who purely go by the indices to track the market trend and behavior (specially the retailers who lack sufficient time to analyse the market in detail) might be heading to a major disaster with the misleading indices. Shocked

It is amazing to see ASI overtaking MPI at this rate. What is more then amaze is the CARSON group shares flying over the roof. How on earth all this calculation becomes num.....

But the real concers is the is the MPI goind down let alone ASI going up..... Time to bargain and firm foot on fundamentals.

You are right. But , free float adjustment takes place with regards to shares held by promoters/ controlling shareholders. In Carsons, this parties hold about 95%. This is more serioes in other companies. So , naturally if free flot is adjusted , market cap will comemdown so as the index weight.

' free float adjustment takes place with regards to shares held by promoters/ controlling shareholders.'
- Ok, sorry didn't know that. I thought it was only the stocks held by Directors. How do they identify the interested parties? Just being curious Smile
