Composite Index is down by 22.90points!

As I have explained in my earlier posting entitled Buy, Sell and Contra, all outstanding Purchase contracts are due for settlement on T+3 and selling-out (also called force-selling) is due on T+4. So what happen if your Purchase contract T+4 happened to be on Thursday or Friday (today)?

Bursa had issued a circular to all stockbrokers on the following:

1. If your Purchase contract is T+4 on Thursday (3 July 2008), you are allowed to either pay or sell-out on Friday (4 July 2008),

2. If you Purchase contract is T+4 on Friday (4 July 2008), you are allowed to either pay or sell-out on Friday (4 July 2008) AND on Monday (7 July 2008).

Basically, Bursa is allowing extra one day for settlement of your purchase contract.

Bursa just informed all stockbrokers that there will not be any trading for the rest of the day.

Looks like Bursa Malaysia’s Disaster Recovery Site could not handle the disaster.

All industry players said this is the first time a Bursa system wide failure has occur.
