Sapura Tech

Following the robust run-up in SapuraCrest, some savvy fund managers have been piling into Sapura Tech. ST is not as interesting as SC but it has what we call buffer and indirect play into SC. It has already been announced that ST will be privatised, for every one ST, they will be exchanged for one SC plus 40 sen. Hence savvy funds would be locking in a buffer of around 30 sen or 20% and get exposure to SC during a period where the EEC should be the thematic play. Downside is the 2-3 months lockup but AGM is to be held this coming Monday, which has hasten some to pile in on likely approval for the deal. Nothing terribly new or exciting but fund managers who do their homework would have a leg up on the rest. Buffer man, buffer!

Bhd and IBM n IBM, Malaysia (28th Mac 2007)... Market seem silent about it, what are the possibillity of IBM getting the US gov. e-pasport jobs ?? >

i think the deal is true, but no details, so its hard to figure the impact.... i doubt Iris would be allowed to make supernormal profits, the technology is not that hard to find, can always go to some other company... so don't be over-optimistic. ibm does not get to where they are by giving out huge margins to outsourced partners. its not with ibm international but rather via ibm malaysia.
