Earnings Season - 25 - The Key to Gracefully Accepting the Master's Reality
Episode Date: January 30, 2020This week on Earnings Season a very tired @HDanhai & @RTRowe talk stocks and the local investing industry as they see it. They start oof with @RTRowe earning a kunk (sorry @MsGillyJ 🤦�...���♂️). They then dig into Sygnus' upcoming move and debate (with explanations) the possibility of them doing a Rights Issue vs. an APO. Also mentioned is the $QWI.ja bleed-out (😫), efficient NAV predicting methods, 2019's Top 10 Dividend Yielding Stocks (mini-gem?) and of course which other stocks catch their preference right now. @RTRowe speaks on "that Master's tweet" (http://bit.ly/316rR6J 🤷🏾♂️) and gives his plain-speaking opinion on the obvious state of the overall industry skillset as he sees it. They close with their thoughts on the possibilities for $GK.ja's imminent takeover of $KEY.ja...and @RTRowe manages to find a way to sneak in a(nother) Dad Joke (R.I.P Mr. Wacky).

say jill jill jackson jill jilly jackson jack jill there we go jilly j bigger up um i had the Jill Jill don't say Gil say Jill Jackson Jill Jilly Jackson
Jack Jill
there we go
Jilly J
bigger up
I had the pleasure of
speaking to her
and some of her team members
this week
last week
bring a celebrity
into the house
no she invited me
they're used to her
they're used to her
but it was a good
I thought it was a good session
I tried I tried a good session I tried
I tried
a technique
I've been trying to
perfect
in terms of
how to
get my information across
how to get my information across
and you know
simplify things
and simplify
simplify what's needed
and certain concepts
in like a real way
simplify
so I tried it with them
which is literally a story
but I just used my life and my story of my life but i told specific things that happened and
certain events in order to show how to utilize other things i hope anybody listening to this
template for anything go ahead there you go free free free content um but yeah literally
attempting for my life and to show them what's going on what the hell was i saying yeah
we go to her place and oh yeah so yeah she invited me to come and talk to some of her staff members
um so our team members and staff members team members and just general stuff you know getting
started the process you know to look out for or to access certain things and i don't have a limited
amount of time so i wanted to get information across them and i the best way possible so like i use little bits from my life and just you know put put put it they seem to enjoy it and i like doing
it and i think it went across because people you know people ask you about it and they have five
minutes to talk to you and i want you to give them the world of what you know in five minutes
yeah so like your motivational speaker no sir no jesus no no oh god no. Oh, God, no. No, certainly not.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No, no, no, no.
I can't.
No.
Locked down the stadium.
Not for me.
Not for me.
Not for me at all.
Jeez, no.
Jeez.
Yeah, so people listen to us.
We talk about business.
We talk about everything. Anything interesting.
Of course, we start with the market.
Of course, we care.
We spend a lot of our time.
But where do we start? Anything hot in the market that we miss since
the last time we were here i know we have um that's one thing i i know i think about it like
the jc news feed i think about the article like which articles have i seen and i really remember
yeah check this signals signals it wasn't in the news feed it wasn't in news feed no yeah but well what was in the news feed was them signals capital yeah the whole
family the parent company from the company that we own they so the management company they
took a stake in a company in aruba
oh well i was just going to talk about the the capital raise oh the capital because
that was on jc's front page um meaning that just just the permission i don't know if we've have we
had a podcast a podcast inside meaning the official permission we did we did mention it and we did the
clip in of course but i don't know if the official mention was it that's me no no i haven't done any
official i haven't spoken about any official i think we did
oh god somebody's correcting the microphone right now we did because we remember we actually put in
the khalil i big up khalil what did we put in we spoke about barry sander is and then i think
you're right i don't know if we mentioned the official notice all right so i know that there
is a news article that speaks about not the news I don't want to go there yet
Because that is post raise
It's just them saying that they have been given
The permission to raise it
That's what I'm saying
For me in my mind I'm running it along a line
So there's that
There's we knowing about it from a long time
Last year
I mean it was said
She had a wonderful interview with Burris And I mean, it was said, Kalina put it on.
She had a wonderful interview with Burris.
And we went through it again.
But then from that, lead me then to part two,
which is the article which spoke about them raising part of the money.
So, the promises that they'd raise the money in two different ways.
In debt and equity.
Debt and equity.
And they said that they've done the debt raise already.
So, that means that they have money the debt raise already so that means that
they have money
money started working already
yeah well then
the third article
was to say
that's how I went along the line
so the third article
was to say that
they have bought
but yeah but that wasn't
yeah so
it came right after
Signos Capital
yeah man
so after
same time
I don't remember
in which order
I got which
but I know that
Signos Capital
took a stake in an Aruban company.
But to me, the way Signos Capital works is we do securities
and we have a pool of funds in Signos Credit Investments
where we can draw up and so we can finance the opportunities
we present to companies.
So they say a good company, they want to finance them,
want to help them out, you know,
and they put the shareholders in there in some way so maybe we'll be doing that we'll be doing
a debt for them or some some level somehow but it's going to work out where we get returns from
the deals that signals capital itself does our structures so the way i see we have a foot there in some way and so then the first foray into aruba they had that thing with gas and azan with the
um supermarkets was it known that it's gas and azan oh okay as in we you remember we guessed
yeah because we knew about the gas and azan thing separately and then we learned about
signals later on and then later on having something abc so i don't know if i've ever
seen it but i don't know if the answer is
it was supermarket
links
it was just
a supermarket chain
how many people
in Jamaica
could have done that
so we did
we might have guessed
so alright so
well I mean
I hope it's him
I think it's him
I hope it's him
actually
I just want to see
Jamaica everywhere
in this world
so if it's him
that's just Jamaica
having a bigger footprint
all over again.
So big up to him,
big up to Cygnus.
If they're working together,
then big up me.
Or companies doing well.
Yeah, they're right.
But you said something
that I think a lot of people
might not pick up.
You said Cygnus Capital.
Yeah, so Cygnus Capital.
Yeah, so they do securities.
They're a securities dealer.
They're licensed.
So they issue securities. They can structure securities dealer. They're licensed. So they issue securities.
They can structure securities for companies.
They do that often.
They have a pool of funds that they can draw upon
because they manage our funds,
which is the signals credit investments.
They draw upon that pool and invest it into companies.
And I think it's sensible for them to marry those two.
We do a lot of deals.
We see a lot of deals coming in front of us.
We make deals for people.
So let me put's credit investments into that so the shareholders and our section of capital management can do can benefit from the deals we do structure so
makes sense make a holy person says and
oh yeah i think it makes sense to me but i think you might have lost people
this is a company that owns Cignos.
It's a company, it's one of the companies within the group.
One of the companies within the group.
Managers.
One of the companies within the group.
Yeah, so what I wanted to make clear to people is that it's not the SCI J&B.
It's not SCI J&B.
No, it's not one we own.
On the JSC.
It's not a listed company.
Yeah, it's not a listed company.
You find that in Prospectus.
You can't find it there.
So very often here at Cignos did a deal it's not this sjmd sjmd lends
money it doesn't structure deals it doesn't go out and it doesn't have doesn't really have like
employees in that way where you see clients and they're not they don't do anything there
it does invest in companies so that's not sjmd that we own sci s but we do
get benefits from the movement of signals credit credit signals capital management
but why
speculation you want to go into speculation
i mean you would have speculated
it's what we do anyway
I think you were going
on a line that I
was trying to avoid
continue
go
well why
is there a specific reason
you want
I don't know
it's like
because that's what we do
I don't know
I don't know
speculation
but it's
I don't know
I think I was protecting
maybe
they haven't said it
outright
that's what they do
But they never do
If you wait for them to say it
It's already too late
I know what I hear
But you know
Show the people what we do
That's what we do
That's what we do
Oh yeah
So basically
So yeah
Me and Randy
So we
Randy and I
Randy and I
Sorry
Thank you
Randy and I
I heard it's not actually
Incorrect to say that
But let's go
Depends on the context
I think I was
Then I was going to look up
The article guys And send it to me And that will be in the show notes that's very
important i was incorrect just now though i think but randy and i we
say we my english teacher so we so we are so we are licensed securities dealers right
and we structure deals so a company comes to us and they want us to create a debt security for them so i
want to make they want to make a bond security for them that i'll talk to the people and realistically
but they don't want them either can't get it from the bank or they don't want
the rates at the bank giving them so the bank say yo well anybody at 16 percent and you're like yo
16 percent hi brother yeah exactly right now you're like yo you're 16 percent
exactly right now you're rough even your car loan now is like eight nine percent i saw myself up so that's gonna tell me about myself but if you if if the car loan is that cheap a business
definitely needs the best rate because interest is actual money lost to them right so i just want to
explain that what what reason is for people okay so i I think Denny and Randy and Denny and Randy
made the bond for them
which is,
we put together the money.
We find the money.
No,
not even that.
We just say,
these are the terms
under which money
will be lent to you.
Yeah.
We are going to find the money.
Yeah.
Say,
Randy and Denny
have a company
with a bag of shareholders
and the structures
put a lot of money
to that company
and that company's purpose
is to lend out funds.
The best
money is personally
or we don't have enough money
to fill every single bond
that we do.
But we have some shareholders
that give us a company
or whatever.
There's a pool of funds
to lend out.
Then I just draw
that pool of funds
whenever I do deals
and fill
fill the thing there
so fill the bond
or whatever
so all the money
I need to lend out
so I lend the money
from the pool of funds
I have here
which is a company
I think that's what
SCI, JMD, SCI
SCI, JMD
SCI and SCM
Signos Credit
so
Signos Capital
Signos Capital Management
Structures
Bonds
And notes
And then
Signos Credit Investments
And I think they also
I think they also manage
SCI
Oh yeah
They definitely manage
So they also manage
The listed companies
I think
So what Danai is saying
That SCI
The listed company
Is just almost like
The cash hoard
Yeah
It's
It is the vehicle
Of saying Hey we have great deals Happening Do you want to fund them Give it to us the listed company is just almost like the cash hoard yeah it's yeah it is the vehicle of saying
hey we have great deals happening do you want to fund them give it to us and this is how we'll
fund which is why they pay huge dividends because they're designed to not keep too much money
exactly or cash come yeah either new deal or i get some dividends they use that term they
popularize that term which of course the long time experts know the people have been in the industry
know the dry powder yeah so that's what they call their cash so they don't leave too much
dry powder if they have a way for cash they need it to do something so that's why i put together
we're talking about speculation caring about the people so i put together the the idea of um
cygnus capital taking a stake in a company in aruba that is a chain that have a bunch of stores.
A bunch of, what are they?
What did they actually buy?
A bar?
Yeah, they have something of that sort.
Yeah, Aruba Wine and Dine.
That's what they took a stake in.
Aruba Wine and Dine, yes.
Curacao.
And so they mentioned two Cygnus Group companies.
Cygnus Capital is entering into a strategic alliance with Aruba Wine and Dine.
And that's a release
from the Curacao Financial Group.
Through its private equity fund,
Cygnus Deneb Investments,
the investment group acquired
a significant shareholding interest
in Aruba Wine and Dine.
And it's part of Cygnus' effort
to increase its portfolio
in the Dutch Caribbean,
blah, blah, blah.
Okay, so let me take a,
the buy-in to the thing.
The thing that they bought into
is pretty good. I mean, they court uh doctor the director dr johnson
um and he in essence is they put together it and they have some experience here and i'm showing
them experience in other words i've shown that there there's some impact in the market and it's
coming through from other things no the point i made about speculation is me saying if one part of my thing is taking a stake in this company another part of
my thing is funding it and i'm wanting them for them to take advantage of yes i think they funded
deneb investments in some way so they can take a stake in signals in aruba when yes and that's in
their group to signal them but i said that to
say that i think it's natural to assume that it's very possible they're going to list that oh god
you say this is a company yeah this is in jamaica why not yeah i love that yeah listen in jamaica
in cop we put assets in saint louis if you need to or whatever even keep you exactly where it is
and it's listed in jamaica it gives those people an opportunity to cash in on the investment it
allows signals a great state because they're in from early and they're also paying off their debt so imagine if they raise
the money through an ipo to pay off their very same debt to themselves at um at at the agreed
rate pre-agreed rate so they get back their money early plus them own shares in italy so they list
those shares go up in value plus them give themselves through sci you know preferential holdings give themselves and give us yes i don't know i would i want to only hope
if we if sci gets something then we get we get to you well at the end of the day you are correct
yes any benefit sci touches us greatly yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah big signals rapidly rapidly one of
the most interesting local companies in the local financial space
anybody has anything else interesting happening financial space last time we spoke we spoke
about proven's launch of their uh oh the signos article they mentioned that they might it's
they're looking at rights issue or apo as the means to raise yeah for the first time they
mentioned in an apo you and i had a conversation about that you want that one public oh yeah sure
yeah about the apo um like why would they go why would they consider it you know my thing already
you don't say it unless you mean to do it right that nowhere has APO been mentioned until now
for the first time and I'm sure these these guys aren't light they know what they're doing um so
if they mention it my we can't take that face while it's being it's being considered um so come
down rights issue versus APO what do you think all right so i i think
they go if right apo basically is we know our shareholders can shareholders like one more than
just our shareholders well tell people apo is additional public offering so i already raised
some money on the market through an ipo so i need to raise some more money and i'm going to make
just ask for more money for the market that's really just gonna issue more shares and just sell it just make up more shares and just give you money
for it yeah yeah i can't do that yes they can as long as the company allows allow them to our
shareholders agree yeah and um but if you think until further i think but would not dilute
my holdings not if you buy not yeah but if you don't if you buy yeah then again if you if you well apo is very like thing
there that you know because unless there's a so even if i think there even if there's a
share pool for regular shareholders then if there's a pool where shareholders if there's a
pool for people outside of the rightholder of the company, then you get that out the moment that person buys into that pool.
So I own another company, right?
And I issue some more shares.
I issue twice as much shares.
So one share, issue two shares, and say, Randy, you can't buy.
In fact, I'm saying to you, I get watered down.
Immediately.
Immediately.
Yeah.
Yeah, but that's if you're an original owner of a certain percent.
But like somebody with less than, at this point has a hundred percent so so i mean no even then
even that think about it oh yeah yes sorry yes there must be some dilution once somebody new
comes into the front there must be dilution exactly there we go there we go there we go
there we go yeah uh and of course you you are saying so you are doing on the side of the api
i'll do the right issue then uh well i tell you right issue is pretty much same exact thing issue new shares um until the shareholders but yeah but
current shareholders have the right to get it so that kind of says that kind of forces the
non-dilution yeah because nobody new comes into the pool that's why people do it unless somebody
refuses to take every right or they can sell their right to somebody or and then it usually goes to
other shareholders first and then after that yeah
yeah so much so much you don't even touch public money at all but some allow for in the case where
you don't buy yeah then probably can't buy into it yeah there are a couple examples of this you
guys can use a pjc search tool yeah um why do you think they'll do an apo if they do well it's for
cats are white on it which one you think they'll do you pickO? If they do, well, it's for... Castlewide or net? Which one do you think they'll do?
You pick one, I'll do the other.
That's right.
So I thought you'd pick APO.
I'll pick APO.
So Castlewide or net?
So I know there's a lot of money right there in the public space.
My shareholders are X, but I want to raise quite a bit of money.
Yeah.
They tell us so much.
15 or 18 mil?
20.
20 mil.
20 mil, but they have some already
They want to raise 35
And they raise 15 already
And so they want another 20
Yeah
For
You guys want something
To compare that to in your mind
They're trying to raise
More money than First Rock
True
Yeah
Yeah
So then
The thing there
First Rock is like 16 I think
Yeah
With the upsize
To put money to the public
Because
I know that It's easier for my public to fill it than my shareholders
because there's more people in the public which is the jmnb which is what jmnb went with yeah
because i had a huge thing to fill jmnb because my shareholders can still apply to the public yeah
i might even give my shareholders a pool yeah okay now we're talking it makes sense all right
yeah you might give your shareholders a pool. So they still get diluted,
but there is less of a crush.
You know,
there's going to be a rush,
right?
So they get,
they get preference on getting shares in the actual offering.
Yeah.
So yeah.
Let's work with market psychology.
Also simple as the market likes to be.
Sometimes the last time they heard APO,
the first time any of us heard APO,
hell,
the first,
I think maybe the first time i heard apo was um
was jamie yeah successful today we're talking it's like a boy
you get me you know people people expect oh so apa was good one time so yeah good no select m
must act the same way because select f did uh you know select f must have it must act because
wigton did uh even though those three companies are quite different.
Well, two of them are quite different.
They're different, those two of them are quite different.
Yeah, well, no, one is M and one tracks a different.
Anyway, so the difference in,
what the hell am I saying, difference?
But yeah, you said, let me get back on track apo and he says
because it allows them to cast a widening so more people can come in and you can have a reserve for
shareholders um i say rights issues are right issues the same thing as i said but you have the
right to get it uh what i think that our rights issue i mean i don't really have that they could
add a rights issue it it allows them to keep one i think they have some amount of ownership of the
shares that they do want to keep um yeah it keeps it keeps their interest it keeps their interest easier you can
i don't lose percentage of their profit at all exactly yeah i'm just i'm just raising this money
but then it forces them to find that money all right yeah um let's assume let's say that i don't
know if this is how i said but let's say Signos Capital Management manages SCI, which is who we,
Jamaican shareholders own shares in,
under JC.
And so we,
SCI would buy into the rights issue.
So let's say they own 25%,
for example.
SCM buys into SCI's rights issue
to the tune of their current ownership
in order to avoid being diluted.
It would mean that
they would have to find the money,
which would mean that, you know they would have to find the money which would mean that you know they have to find the money i have a picture of my pocket yeah to fill this and i know that yeah yeah or get diluted so you think that
might mind being diluted no not really because you talk with an apo because yet they have the
golden share they don't care they keep control no matter what
and I don't think
they took up much
of the actual
outstanding shares
in the company
at all
like SCM
I don't think
they took a heavy position
yeah that's why
I don't think
they have a big position
because it really is
the money pool
I think who had a
position in it
were the shareholders
were the thing
the principals of SCM
but it wasn't like
they took a heavy
heavy position too
you know you mean in terms of company ownership but it wasn't like they took heavy heavy position to you know
you mean in terms of
company ownership
because it was a personal
wealth
exactly
so I don't think
they
were so
were so
yeah so now
they're not really
looking at the
company ownership
on a personal level
which is why the
golden share is there
yeah
they just want to be able
to hold control yeah so the golden share is there yeah yes they just want to be able to hold control yeah
so if the golden shares of control the actual shares they own is personal benefit benefit
i believe my stock going to well and buy some boom yeah what are they you remember what they rewarded
on i don't remember um they have a hurdle rate and it's percentage return on the portfolio
percentage return on the portfolio and then so they have
a management fee for the assets and then a percentage return on portfolio heard the rate
performance fee hmm the whole their own shares the whole their own shares who that's the sci
we mean no I don't think so you don't think so the whole anything that hold their own shares
yeah I said that's the thing, the private.
Yeah, but I'm thinking...
It's not a private investment.
Yeah, but you get...
I'm thinking about their hurdle.
You know how it goes.
If you can...
You can benefit through a rights issue if you do it right.
And then you can...
Your share price movement could influence your gain.
They might just buy into their own thing there.
So I'm asking
just because
that's a
it's an easy gain
to make
and it's value
it's value
and my
my
it's a target of mine
like it's
am I going to take
I'm not going to take
the road to help me
with my
but the thing is
you know the industry
people don't read
the signals guys
the signals guys
are proving that
they do what
nobody else is willing to
and they're
benefiting from it
yeah true
what they're doing
right now is
what people
complain about
all the time
people not giving
money to SMEs
hey we have
signals
signals found a
way to
work out something
new
so yeah we'll
have to see
what they do
the mezzanine
well you know
why I'm saying
that because
at the end of
the day I was
looking for the benefits of
shareholders i hear to make this money so if i care when they want to make this money too and i
want them to make the money on the share price because you know it goes in the rights issue you
usually get that chance to make some money because you get some shares that let's say the shares are
worth a hundred dollars you get some hundred dollar shares at $50. And then the day after
the writing sheet is done,
those shares you bought
for $50 are worth $100.
And so that's a good
percentage gain
that you make
to make on your money.
And if they have to
give themselves that benefit,
then obviously
you can just ride the coattails
and get the same benefit
twice too.
And when they do sell
those $15 shares, they still actually get that money. and get the same benefit twice too because they would and when they do sell those 15 shares they
still actually get that money so they actually get the cash for it yes so it's an actual asset
and it's about about 15 yeah so it's at 100 then the money that sci will be taken in will be 100
for each of those years instead of 15 for each of those shares whoa i know you just lost a whole
heap of people ah cool cool so buy some shares in the right issue right yeah but it's sci buying sci shares in the right issue yeah
assuming they're allowed but yeah i think they're allowed to but i don't think they're doing it but
cool i think when you own your own shares there's a specific line that it goes to there's a thing
i was doing some reading oh yeah but whatever yeah share buyback on all those issues if you
know if i jsc prior i think they gave themselves the right to that share buyback um in their perspective it's a nice document but yeah
i'm gonna link that too i have to look at the the clauses of the bible because they had they
had clauses on it yeah but yeah um setting there they bought the shares back about right the right
issue and they bought shares in the rights issue for $15.
If they didn't take it up, they'll be taking $15 for every share they sell, right?
So they take up some of it.
They spend $15 for all those shares instead of getting $15 for all those shares.
But then they go on the market and sell all those shares for $100.
The money actually goes to the company will be the $ dollars yeah for each of those shares instead of the fifteen dollars because they spend better than can even do even
spend the money on getting it and issue the shares to themselves yeah and that depends on them do it
no and an issue like a note for it is like almost like a loan oh okay i see what you mean yeah so
yeah i'm assuming i make who knows i don't think about that it matters i'm sure to the
accountants i'm sure there's one there at pwc going no or yes or who told you but um you you
you if it's allowed and it's allowed you can and and the cost for it if there's some cost to be structured then the cost would be at 15 if we stay that it's paraparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparaparap Parapassu Parapassu
which episode we mentioned Parapassu you remember?
no man remember you need to know these things
no not really
I want to say it's like episode 3
somebody
somebody
somebody
tell us which
episode we mentioned
Parapassu
but yeah
that's an opportunity in terms of a rights
issue but it also means that they're raising they would be raising uh a first rock level of money
more than first rock level of money from a limited pool of shareholders already yeah right somebody
right now also mentioning say yo i remember i saw signals in first rock ipo prospectus you know what that was capital management though yeah that's capital man
yo those guys are so smart but you look at the thing there though i call it again the
way signals is split too with the rights issue
yeah the usd people aren't very active true so will they be so inclined to take up in the rights issue?
There are people, you know, there's always people who's always going to buy the US version of a share.
Even though.
I expect they'll do the same as the prospectus, the IPO.
One for one?
If they buy this, then guess what?
Anything you buy, you do what you want it to be.
And that's what it's going to be.
Yeah.
Damn.
what they want it to be and that's where you get this is going to be yeah damn but if it's a rights issue then they will be issuing a certain amount based on the pool to every single shareholder
well not necessarily there's no it's all all of it is one set of shares but guess what you can
just they just have it in in in, in JMD and in USD.
But the right,
the right,
the right of shares
you are able to buy
is based on my current,
is based on your current holding.
Yeah, your current holding
is a percentage of total.
And suppose I don't want
to take up my current holding.
That's your problem.
You did not use your,
your right.
It's like choosing not to vote.
But say,
a very small percent
of the USD people
take up the rights issue.
And then the JMD people don't over-subscribe their shares enough to cover.
Then they don't have to raise less than the money they target.
When you say cover, what do you mean?
So, rights issue.
Generally, what happens is I often...
No, man, I get what you...
I don't think we need to explain it again,
because people are probably bored of the third explanation.
I get it that you have to...
You're separating the JMD and USD.d based on your shoulders but you shouldn't because it's the the company has
a total you were the one who brought this point up you know you're correct that cygnus has one
total shareholding and that total shareholding can be expressed in jamaican dollars or us dollars
so if we are giving out x amount of money we're giving if we are giving out X amount of money,
we're giving out,
we're giving out X amount of shares
as a rights issue,
but giving out
X amount of shares
as a rights issue.
If you say,
if USD holders
don't take it up,
but Jamaican holders
might just take it up.
Yeah.
And if there's more left over,
you know how it goes
all the time,
then everybody else
has the opportunity
to take it up.
I think you understand me.
Okay.
For every 100 shares,
I can take up, every 100 shares I own, i can take up every 100 i own i can take up 10
shares okay cool all the u.s people not all of them take up their 10 shares i get you so there's
a small pool left over of shares to be allotted and the rights the jmd people they never oversubscribed
their shares you know to spill over and collect all the USD shares that's left. So then they would have failed
at raising the amount
that they wanted.
But then that would allow them
to push it to the public,
usually.
And they would say to the public
under the terms of the right to share.
And I mean,
they want to get dry powder,
so they're going to do it.
It makes sense though.
But you know,
it goes simplicity.
APO does make sense.
So APO over right to share
makes sense.
It does not bother
what else else do it.
Yeah,
because you don't have to worry
about doing that. i can still reserve shares
for everybody you're going to get water done but at least you get a reservation yeah let's talk
real things though you want to get the share price to fly then you make it you put a reserve for
shareholders as of let's say you want the apo open march one you say anybody who is all who own signal shares as of February 15th mm-hmm
yeah our date and recording on 14th or whatever that is and February 14th
between now and February 14 the signal share price would fly because more
people would go to own more because of more shares you own well it even though
they were they were it depends on what I think that's I want to know if their
hurdle rate is linked to their share price because you do it's it's the performance
of the portfolio not the company not the shares and the company doesn't own his own shares
and you think that outside of maybe personal interest and the fact that i believe that they
are paid they're are they not paid um I did not paid in us in in in
shares not a paid management fee money not just cash sure yeah I've never
happened seeing signals his share capital increase hmm I really is the lie
I want to believe I wanted to care about the share price yeah yeah they might
you know sometime companies care about the share price. I understand. They might, because you know,
sometimes companies care about the shareholders
or caring about share price.
Yeah.
But you know, sometimes they really don't.
What are the top 10 owners?
ATL, Pension, JCSD, Trusty, Sigma Optima,
MF&G, Hidden Accounts, Hidden Accounts,
NIF, JMMB, Equity Fund, Heart Trust, hidden accounts, NIF, JMNB,
Equity Fund,
Heart Trust,
Mandala Incorporated,
who that?
Do they tell you,
um,
Cygnus?
Like what,
the board,
the link?
Yeah,
they should.
Very important.
But yeah.
So, I don't think they care. But yeah. So,
I don't think they care about share price.
Or if they don't,
then there's no real incentive
for that. But you know how you go.
You want to give shareholders a benefit.
So, if that's the case,
then it always only makes sense to
at a certain date. Because you don't want to come
to a channel where this guy says he shares and then
he says he owns. You make a certain date where if you't want to come to you know these guys sell them shares and then him but him saying they own whenever you make a certain day where if you own
if you're under record at what date then you'll get going to the reserve it always makes sense
to have that date there so boy it will affect share price if that's the case because i don't
think that they care about share price to do that for the sake of share price unless they care just personally
personally and i think them guys banking beyond them shares so yeah i really want to believe this
one though i mean they're just wanting free shareholder value oh yeah definitely yeah yeah
so i think that's i think that's a real thing um i think the thing is companies see that differently
you know you know that shareholder value is not necessarily what they'm thinking about share price they think about the company doing better so
you must have the share price doing and for them company doing better yeah and for them because
signals represent something else than it would represent to you and me yeah so then just they
they would be more concerned with the long term they're okay with not so i would hope
you know it goes sometime but on the flip side apo or rights issues sound nicer when
it's at a huge discount to the current share price oh definitely yeah so that is an incentive in the
in the thing to just have a have it fly not necessarily because guess what i see the current
share price oh no the apo you state the apo price from jump so if i let's say i say it's
you state the api price from jump so if i let's say i say it's let's let's say signals is 27 dollars and i say i'm giving out um 13 shares at 13. yes i wouldn't but yeah and so it's all saying
if there's no as a but as that as that is shareholders as at february one so you do that
because at february one single share price is probably going to be like $45.
And your right to share APO would still be
at $13.
And that looks like
a great discount to market.
And that's
everybody wants
that profit.
I get what you're saying there.
That makes sense.
Yeah, that would make sense.
I'm really hoping
that it makes sense.
Everybody eats.
Yeah.
Makes sense.
What do you think about QWI?
QWI? QWI.
They've just dropped them.
They're not, you know, they're not.
They're not 126.
So that's up under.
That's ups, right?
What's up?
QWI?
It's above.
Well, today's like the big day for QWI.
Not only is it below $1, it ended the day at 80 something cents.
Mm-hmm.
Wow.
How are you feeling?
I'm fine over here bro well on the on the 24th of january its net asset value was $1.27 $1.26 on january 24th yeah per share
and today we're recording this well right now we're recording this well people hearing it's
january 29th um well not not the end of January 29th.
I said Tuesday, January 28th.
QWI ended there at what?
You know?
The last posted
before that was January 17th
at 1.25.
So it's been around 1.25, 1.26.
The 1.26 jump is not really much of a jump.
But it's a percentage jump on a lot of money.
So it might just matter.
What do you mean?
On a bigger piece of pie?
From 124 to 126 is a small percentage, right?
But that small percentage on billions of dollars.
124 to 126.
Yeah, so 126 to 124.
When you're the math man.'s too small a gap 1.6 that's like a fee yeah 1.6 percent on a couple billion dollars three bill yeah yeah that's nice
and they say that on two bill yeah so they made good money there 32 mil i could do well with that okay it depends if it but
i said people have to try other people trying to um so what i think is wrong i think you try
to guess what's in their portfolio based on what was at the other prospectus so they say oh this
thing fell and went to i see a lot of people do it. I just ignore it.
I stood back and watched it
and made them do it.
Maybe I made a comment or
two, but I never said anything outright
where I think it's kind of not sensible to do it.
They
sit back. They say,
oh, Cygnus probably still
has a heavy holding. Cygnus or QWI?
QWI probably still has a heavy holding in carry cement.
And carry cement sure falls.
So that's the reason why they now fall.
And that is based on the carry cement holding
from the last carry cement holding you see, right?
What I'm saying, all right, cool.
Cygnus is easier.
So QWI is easier to track quarter to quarter.
Yes.
I remember we report on a delay so when the quarter ends
you know the price you know the nav at the quarter end and you know and you will get the results 45
days after that and on that day when the quarter ends you can get now calculate how much money
they made or lost on a portfolio based on enough movement so to carry cement jumping up
and down every time you jump you say oh we make some money it dropped we went somewhere and it
said he jumped today and we never make some money so you could guess what else in the portfolio to
see oh this is why this fall he contacted the caribbean and dropped down if he actually still
have caribbean and he did his gymnastics wondering what they're wondering what they're like you fully
don't know what i'm having guessing into the into the air. Okay. I think it makes sense
to be able to watch the NAV.
Yeah, because the NAV,
no matter what they have,
the NAV is the NAV.
They can't lie about the NAV.
If you have 20 stocks
and the NAV go up
and the one stock you know
about go down.
It don't make sense.
Where do the guessing go?
I get you.
Yeah, so you don't need
to guess there.
The NAV there makes perfect sense.
And what I like is that
they are the ones
who put it out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
QWI, well, the link
is in the show notes.
I think it's QWIinvestments.com slash whatever it's there. The link is there. You can put it out yeah yeah qwi well the link is in the show notes i think it's qwi investments.com slash now whatever it's there the link is there you can check it out but
you can check that they put it up i think every monday so every monday they tell you what it was
the friday before so the nav is a nav so uh for people like a quick a quick thing to know is that
if it ends the quarter at a higher number and it closed or vice versa, then that's good or bad.
So if it ends higher than it opened,
then they make money.
Then they make money.
And if they're closed lower than the open,
then they lost money.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But today,
okay.
So as of today,
it closed at 91 cents.
So the discount continues.
You can say that.
That's a brave thing to say.
There are people there who right now who don't know.
I mean, QWI IPO
That what
$1.30
Okay
Okay
Yeah
Somebody's down 42%
My G
That is a big drop
I think the
The NAV
The NAV value on QWI
I think it's
A good valuation
On what
What to track
The company
Say what
What's a good price
To buy the company
Okay
Buy in a portfolio
Whatever As at a certain day good if i said then today the price is lower than enough
then what i'm buying the company i'm buying is the assets of the company are worth more than the
price i'm paying for it so i'm better than discount pretty much straight up me up to randy and randy has a company that only holds ncb ncb is
$2.50 now it's $250 per share and but randy sells me at a value of $100 per share of ncb
sells me the company then i just bought some ncb for $100 per share Boom I can swear $250 per share
I just made some money
So
That's how I see it
Boy
That's one thing to say
But for somebody else
All I'm seeing is that
Them down 40%
Them down 40%
Yeah
Them down 42.9%
Yeah
Yeah that rough
That's if you bought that
$1.30
Yeah that rough
So
That's it
Watch it now
Look for that turnaround
And look for I think the look for so i think the
price will be i don't think people watching enough too tough i think they're watching
it's a damn about a nav no i think what i watched what i watched for the nav was not far
okay i know that it's falling so no it was falling and they started saying boy what i know about this
company is doing it's just doing badly so they started panic setting what i know about this company is doing is just doing badly so they
started panic selling and then start pushing the price down people exit for whatever reason and
the prices keep going down so the good news of the now if selling now starts going back up i really
wonder if they're going to wait until the results come up for him to tell him or something go so
did it went right or the results going to say that don't
where's the next set of results not the next set of results any results that the nav went up for
whatever quarter will they wait on that the not do they watch enough and now went up so i made
so the company made money or will they wait until the results are out to say the company made some
money by no so in other words i'm waiting for the curve to read i'm waiting for out to say the company made some money and we buy it now. So in other words,
I'm waiting for the curve to reach.
I'm waiting to see the proof
to jump in.
Yeah.
But the proof is there.
The NAV is at $1.26.
But the quarter not done yet.
That's true.
Although to be honest,
if you buy at $1.26
and you're buying at $0.98.
$0.91.
You're buying something for...
If you could buy all the shares in QWI,
you'd
be purchasing a portfolio
at $1.26 for $0.98.
Yeah, that's a 38% discount.
Yeah, you'd be making 38% on business
if you could buy it outright.
Yeah. Or if you can just put
your money in. You see, come back, don't throw
people really on. Tell me.
This is me
throwing shade
at the
Buffetologists
oh god
let's hear it
let's hear it
this week's Buffets
if you could buy
the company
alt right
yeah
then why
you know
then I
it makes sense
I don't buy the company
all right
you have to look at
the value of the company
and not the trading value, right?
So why didn't I buy QWI?
Yeah, don't count there.
Don't count there. That's funny, right?
It's not funny to me. All I've seen
is a discount. Yeah.
But I don't feel like Buffettologists
are saying that.
It's a discount.
That's funny. I see funny things
said. You know, well said um you know you know
well as you know you and i both have the same thought warren buffett says a lot of things and
things and and they are often misquoted very often misappropriated misused because
warren buffett can buy a company all right yes he can yes and he has yeah i don't have
three billion dollars though so yeah or you can buy a company
heavily yeah market maker yeah so guess what i i know it don't make sense for me to worry about
i only make sense for me to worry about buying the company all right if buying that one share
can give me the same value if i know that buying that one share i could go down despite what the
company is doing it don't make sense to buy the company it don't make sense about that one share or about the whole company he gets
the actual assets of the company the money in the company good control the company yeah everything
everything fine me nobody wants you and sit down and watch and watch my one share go down and then
say well the company is doing well nobody is caring let me keep watching it nah bro yeah yeah
yeah yeah you can't i say you can't you can't
Warren Buffett moves
and try Tantor tactics
yeah if you have Tantor money
big up Tantor blacks
my artist
yeah people don't think
when I say Tantor moves
I'm not dissing Tantor
that's my artist
I just mean that you have to act
as where you are
when Tantor was by the train line
exactly
him act like he was by the train line
when a man there
in the hotel
him say excuse me
excuse me
and go through your hair
him say when he's up on the balcony he on the balcony in aqua is at a level
that's him at right look where he's no look where he's no last time I saw
picture music using a vault to that bag of money around him
I'm to move from real history to the real but yeah yeah yeah rich men do
money yet what yeah we have a serially you know somebody's really have to say it so you're really rich but no you're rich so i don't even say the real again kind of thing rich
yeah well that artist money nice you know same song you can see in 10 count in a 10 10 country
and get it right that's why you call investing for dividends straight ha big up dividends buy
it one time and pick of dividends dividend yield yeah
if I can if I can buy a good dividend you then you're good I never want drop
these yet but I'll drop one what do you think the company that gave the most
dividend in 2019 was yes Scotia Scott that's a good guess uh the company that gave the most dividends in 2019 and
i measured i measure dividend here by um yield so i measure dividend here by yield so
the company i gave the most and by yield what i did was i take the
i can't but i can't but i explain it get what i don't um the
point is that's the most money you'd get from it on average anyway company by yield this is me
delaying delaying delaying delaying i can bring it up because i have a phone and it's not coming
up at all boy and i know i sent it to you and i don't remember where the hell it is yeah
yeah yeah so the company with the highest dividend yield 10 biggest dividend
paying stocks in 2019 were boom you're right scotia sgj second biggest curious of course
surprise surprise scotia had a dividend yield of the paid out 472 cents in dividends their yield
was 8.72 percent people if i'm wrong i'm sorry i'm not though um
you can at me on twitter and ask me how i worked it out i mean that's too easy because i know
somebody somebody asked generally and somebody great wrong well you know let me tell the past
i'll just say it right now so it's just the average price of career as every day that it
traded every trading day for 2019. yeah and based on that average i just took the total dividend yield the person
the total yield dividend paid as a person exactly so that gave us scotia jamaica for that dividend
yield of 8.72 that means if you own it at least from the start of the year whatever if you're if your average price for scotia share is below 54 015 cents and you held it from the start of
the year you are looking at you got dividends of 8.72 percent means you put a million in there you
got back well 87 200 and something minus the 15 tax um second was carreras uh they paid a total dividend of 67 cents
which works out to a yield this on the same workout of 7.74 percent and the third was 1834
1834 believe it or not back from the dead yeah i think that has to be the no no bouncing around
i don't know them do it but then do it boy Do it Yeah they came back Well this might be because
Of the whole average pricing thing
Yeah
Because they spent a long time
Of the year down the road
Which means that
They're bouncing around
You got
There are people
So my average price here
For 1834
Is $1.08
And the dividend is
8 cents
But there are
I'm sure there's a time
In the year where you
Could have bought
1834 for
80 something cents
Yeah Yeah so somebody Has lucked out Because they would have Made an even bigger yield Personal yield there's a time during the year where you could have bought um 1834 for 80 something cents yeah
yeah so somebody has luck talk i would have made an even bigger yield personal yield but the yield
on it at one dollar and eight cents is seven point three nine percent for the year fourth was dolphin
cove twelve dollar eleven average price four ninety five percent yield and the fifth proven j a
fifth proven j a not 493 4.93 36 average price 1.78 such a funny thing proven proven j is price was 36
dollars um look at it 2019 you know is it no 70 something yeah it's close to 70 now it's heavy nice there are people who have been holding it for a long time i think i thought it was
his apo news you want to hear something i think i think i think that i think the pe is like i want to say something like 14 or something like that yeah but you know where
that's how that comes from you know where the one i thought that come from in terms of the pe yeah
um the sale of the access sale access all right yeah and they still own peace all right they got
that money it was real money thank you yeah
you got that money so yeah even though it's a one-off guess what they still made that money
what did they use that money could do something what they said they're doing with it
how's it boom yeah finance do they want to look for new deals um no they never them not it part that they used to hold on to their peace in jm b
yes oh yeah and i
think they're not but there's two more money left from us i think yeah well they might they might
things doing with their money proven one two one to watch for 20. one to watch for 2020. um
definitely this is something that i like um i think it's an easy look on i think they have the
most room to grow and i think they're really coming to their own now uh yeah so that's a good
thing for the dividend yield and ask a small gem what else you're missing out well what do we talk
about well the controversy i touch a controversy for a little bit is it really a controversy or
are you just saying something i saying something i don't know how do i how do i address this i'll
address it the only way i know um well as i give people context who don't know
well i'll link in the show notes guys if you don't show notice check the show notes i hope
you're listening on a podcast player hit the information section or whatever check your show
notes you see the link of it that link it has randy's truth tweet or something you'll see it
from me anyways a tweet i made which for context i was watching i was watching um the masters yeah i don't remember all the
details that i showed from today's money they have a investment portfolio of five hundred thousand
general rules is that they're for each of the competitors and it gets five hundred thousand
dollars and they invest the money for one year period and at the end of the period, they will see who has the highest. It's three people from the finance space and one person who they call the novice.
So, the three people are the masters and one other person is the novice.
That's a person who's not a professional in the investment space.
Yeah, he's a managing director, I believe.
Yeah, he's a managing director.
So, it's somebody who understands a business, understands business,
and then there are three professionals from the investment investment space and i'd never watched a show before i had been sent you know i'd spoken about it the last year in 2019 i've been sent
pictures of what the portfolio looked like people asked me to comment on it but i haven't had the
time to watch it or whatever but i like the brand i think i've been saying throughout the period that i think it's been disappointing because at first there there was gain but then i saw everybody was just
below the 500 000 so they are losing money yeah and yeah it looked bad so i i finally saw an
episode recently the weekend sunday um sunday monday late and it was pretty late i was watching
it and i wasn't even paying attention it was just you know one of them videos on youtube
and i heard i said in the background i said i'm gonna perk up like some rubbish i was like what
what something never makes sense something that if you you know it don't make sense i sometimes
around the jamaica like what so i go back and i watched it and i remember what it was i don't
know what the code but this is one of those if you watch the show you know if you want to show
anything about stocks you know like some things that are said that make you wonder like
yo these are like anyway so it was one of those things saw it and I was like oh this is iffy no
funny thing I like that show meaning the things I've looked on the format the idea for competitors
500,000 you know I was calling one year when I first heard about it I was calling As in I
Called the number
To apply
They gave one number to apply
And I called
But it just kept ringing
Three separate people
Who don't know each other
Two of them know each other
But they don't know
Two of them
Three
All three of them sent me
I think it's a picture
They were reading the newspaper
And they saw a picture
Of the
The call
To you know
Apply
And say Oh you should enter this
you should enter i've been getting um somebody messaged me why you and randy not interested in
thing they're interested in the masters and so i mean just to re-watch the show i was like no man
what i mean joining when it was about yeah there was a cutoff time earlier in the year and whatever
we didn't know about it till before and i like the show it's a good idea it's a great idea not only does it not only does it bring people into the market
or should bring people into the market but does that thing that we try to do on the show which
is we try to show people the thinking behind our picks and how we allocate things and how we
we use debt and you know the skills that we use in our day-to-day to make the portfolio make the
moves that we have this is a way for us to explain because nobody's really explaining it right you know my problem already
with industry that day i think they need more of that they've been stepping up yeah the whole
part of this show is a thing exactly there are people right now listening to this who work at
a brokerage house yeah yeah so yeah i like that and the people who see this right now who just
decide i'm gonna get serious about their money in 2020 and there are people listening to this
who decide to get serious
a couple of years
you know we have a nice mix
and it's growing every day
I like that
anyway but I want people
to get their things
so the tweet
I said I hope people
are paying attention
to how the professionals
are managing money
and making picks
because that's what
the show shows
it shows how they make
their picks
that's the whole point
of bringing industry
personnel and calling
them the masters
exactly
yo we are the guys who know this.
Yes, we are the masters.
It's a competition between the masters.
Which is why the stakes are so high for a novice.
I go against the...
If I'm a novice, I come out for wherever I come from.
I come to this investing thing.
And I know there are these guys.
They're called the masters and they're better than everybody. Or should be. Or there are these guys they're called the masters
and they're better
than everybody
or should be
or at some level
they're better than the normal
I am the normal
yeah you want to see
all the stars do it
if I beat them
I make money
imagine I beat the masters
it's champions league my love
yeah
so that's all it was to me
yeah
it's like bold
racing you seen
racing
Casey's fiance
when I first heard it
I was
looking at it and saying i wrote in fully
for the novice because that's the only issue i would be fitting there say oh yeah because yeah
because yeah i'm not a professional money manager or anything like that so not an advisor not a
money manager neither am i yeah and that's exactly the role i'd think of too so i was like oh cool
i want a novice rinse because i know certain of his can win in reality we know what's happening in the market yeah so i was
looking for an office and the show the show in terms of its quality high quality oh yeah yeah
and i like the panel sit down thing where you're all cool sometimes like so at the start you had
everybody sitting together talking um and then
intermittently you have oh they bring on one of the one of the contestants and they speak with the
presenter and they discuss the pics they talk about oh what i'm going into next what i've been
in my way i'm in it what are my thoughts about it yeah it's a run-on company yeah it allows people
to see how man how money can be professionally
managed and the thought that to the process it's a process that matters more than anything else um
and so that's what the show is they're doing it for one year each of them get 500 000. so four
people 500 000 um one more restriction which we found out about actually later on was that they
have a um i think a hundred thousand so So yeah, so 20% of the portfolio
must be invested
in fixed income.
Yeah.
So that's like a bond
or whatever.
I wondered if like
maybe one of the
JMMB papers
could be near 7.5
or something like that.
That's still considered equity.
Depending on how
you know where you go.
Yeah.
The point is that
there's 20%
for a fixed position
and then the rest
has, there's some rules. I don fixed position and then the rest has there's
some rules um i don't remember who it was i saw a tweet or somebody shared it with me or shared a
screenshot of a tweet point is it was there are some rules around it um i'll go back to my tweet
so i said i hope people are paying attention to how the professionals are managing money and
making picks if you need your money to grow aggressively in one year they're showing you their level of competence at that well they all started at 500k and i have a shrug emoji so for people who aren't
seeing this i mean the link will be in there but if people aren't seeing this the picture i pulled
which is a pull from the their own instagram the show's instagram account showed all four competitors um and the none of them were all
of them were below all of them were in a lost position and it's about six or seven months into
the competition yeah that's all disappointing me for the whole i kept asking how much like every
time yeah i wrote are you i don't really follow it more than so every now and then i see an episode
when it comes up in my feed or when somebody shares it in the telegram group so the so my thought was i kept asking how much time left in the competition
at every step in the game when i saw where the losses were yeah so i remember we had a conversation
about it when i want to maybe the month three or month four we're looking at it and we're like yo
it was a picture of the portfolios we're like why the hell
would they set up portfolios like this if the goal is one year and that's that level of money yeah
500 000 that level of money less than 500 000 80 to 500 000 yeah for one year why are you spreading
it in in why you went in four or five companies if you're trying to get aggressive growth to win a
competition against masters little did i know like i mean the person who's in the lead had 488 thousand
but i think he he has been a consistent winner you know so he's been i think he's at
maybe better i haven't been watching really but almost every time i saw it he was leading
so he's a strong professional he's doing doing something he's doing better than the rest
of them yeah well i mean so again for context so that was a tweet i put out so it shows pretty much
me saying that they're showing the level of competence and the picture is showing that all
four are in a lost position the leader is at 488.7 thousand and the the person fourth is at 410.6 thousand um at six or seven months in and
what do i say to that if these are the masters what i said to that i can understand the amateur
being done you know amateur is amateur that's cool that's fine and i've heard like some of
the stuff he said i know he's worked on so you can hear the amateurism in there right um so that's
fine the professionals and i know
this is not easy thing my lord but i don't know if it's the competitiveness in me or the the
jamaicaness in me or what but if you're a master you're a master right no this touch is something
that i don't usually talk about i haven't spoken about in a long time in years a lot of new people
other people new to this haven't actually heard me speak about this or read my tweet and it come
i tweeted my third sentence with the years i haven't done those in a while but i have had a long-term problem with
the overall industry and i think that many of the things within the industry needs to be fixed and
it's across the board right um and you've heard me a ball about it from everything from how poor
jc's in their communication and um the things that they they should be doing and how well they should
be doing it and how they should be communicating about doing it and their engagement so um if i think
that maybe the industry needs to step its shoes up step again pull up it pull up them socks you know
um i was very plain in that i think that the base level expectation from a broker advisor
broker advisory company is that i should be able to walk in the door and tell you one year give you some money and give you a goal and you should be able to construct
that and in this case i'm going to come completely to equities you should be able to construct an
equity portfolio a stock portfolio set of stocks for me to achieve that goal within the year or
tell me that my goal is unrealistic and show me
why right no between august 2019 and december 31st 2019 i mean i don't know if i didn't remember if
the market was down for that last year but exactly it doesn't matter because stocks went up during
that time they weren't invested the money wasn't invested in america so to track that correlation
i think it's a poor correlation
But I think it's funny
That's
That's a correlation
That is always drawn for
But the thing is
You don't
You measure against the market
For
Am I beating
Is my portfolio
Or my picks
Are they beating the market
That makes sense
But to say
My singular stock
Or whatever These five stocks i
picked went badly in correlation to the market or the market was going down these five stocks i
picked went down that don't make sense because those five stocks over there they went up so
the question you should not ask is why did i pick these stocks that went down yeah why did
they go down why wasn't i looking at those stocks there we go why did they go up exactly it's all
about the wise something we've said again and again it's all about the wise no professionally
the professional money manager whatever your job is to know the why all right there we go now so
here's where we're cooking with guys
all right now you're talking straight and saying it's a hard thing to do it is it is not the
somebody can't it's not lotto you're not guessing you have to there's a process around it so if
guessing then we can talk about oh there it is so that's the funny thing we can say what a man
play for guessing but if we're talking would say going to say the joke guessing so guessing that's my
you know
risk
that I
guessing is where
you would start
looking at a correlation
to the total
thing
because guessing
is when you
do a random sample
of the market
pick, choose, refuse
and generally
random samples
are
looked at
to track
the overall basket
but you targeted whatever and you did badly on them looked at to track the overall basket.
But you targeted whatever
and you did badly on them.
You knew what the rules of the competition
were coming into the competition.
Yeah. Just in the same way that I would expect
that you would know what a client's needs
are because the client sits in front of you
and tells you their needs.
Exactly. So you know the space
you're working with exactly
you set up your you set it if you look at this as an attack you set up your strategy to meet
your objective right and then the tactics are how are you going to try and achieve that tactic
those those that strategy over whatever the set time is in this case it's a year
um tweets hurt some feelings apparently um i i will tell you like i told aboriginal talking to i said
to him that um about it after because apparently people are very hurt that i said it and i'm
insulting to the guys but if you listen to the wording of my tweet well i've come back to that
people are hurt by it and say i was giving them a hard time i was giving industry a hard time you
don't understand it but you know the usual stuff that people come but i don't want that but i want us to focus on what my point was which is that this is a representative of professional management and over six months
five to six months everybody is below where they started during a time where amateurs are making
money on the market and i tell people to go madly and fling themselves into any IPO or anything very rare but they've been just stable strong
companies on the market that have grown between August and now mm-hmm yeah loads
loads and when I remember why I started watching the program it wasn't even just
the numbers that caught me because I knew they had bad numbers from last year it was the explanation i was hearing so all right so the explanation the times i've watched before
it wasn't like the numbers got to me but then when you hear the explanations they either
that's what i'm going to tweet about this the explanations either miss the mark on we are
investing for a year so i'm still talking about they're talking
as if the company is a long bit a long term a long term way beyond a year type of thing but
i might all right so you shouldn't be in portfolio exactly if you're waiting on gains for five years
online not saying they said that but that's the type of g-star got from them then by talking about
this one year thing yeah i hear people talking about whether or not something is good for dividends but even for one year the best you can get is four dividends or one you said you
talk about dividends you got yeah eight percent was the best dividend yes so if you're investing
for dividends you're making eight percent of course investing for capital gains has some
capital gains i realized like i think one of them realized later on in the series like a couple
weeks in that oh you know this thing's for a
year so he's reorganizing his portfolio with that in mind my thing is that's that's from joe
from the jump i expect you to be doing that that is your job you get me and and people say i'm
being harsh but yo i have to be harsh because most people don't understand the reality of this
situation i can't even apologize for it so there's something i want to start i should i should make this very clear because it didn't occur to me that the actual
competitors name because their names are in the tweet and their um their their names and their
faces are in the tweet that those guys might actually think you know i'm coming down hard
on them specifically funny enough no i've just been at this fight for so long that in my opinion
you take any random four from the indian th three and the results would probably have been the same nothing would have changed in my
opinion so i never thought about them but i can understand how they could feel that way and i
don't want anybody to feel anything i literally have nothing against any of them i don't even
know them personally i've met one of them once behind the scenes somewhere for a couple of minutes
cool enough talking see what i know in the name cool enough interaction but in terms of the work in
terms of the thing that i expect personally from professionals where i can go to you and you can
help me to get the x amount of growth i think the results speak for themselves and the reason i
started talking about look at the wording of the tweet is if these results were saying a million
800 000 700 000 even if they're all saying 515, 580, 570, whatever,
even if they're just at that level of growth,
this tweet would not have been an insult.
This tweet is only an insult
because of the performance of the portfolio,
which is to show that I'm literally not insulting
because I had no intent to insult them.
I wanted people to know
that yo people this is something you need to be aware of you need to press your people and i won't
find out whether i actually know what i'm talking about everybody can find out what i'm talking
about use your results that you care about and i got one of the early responses people saying is
that yo well come on a year stocks are for the long term a year isn't enough time to show somebody's competence
full stop on that one that sentence stocks are for the long term rubbish top level rubbish
rubbish stocks stocks are for every term every time what if we get it today if all right so
stocks are for the long term you want to say say that, cool? 100%. You hold a stock
for 30 years, and the last
year is the year the stock
go up. So, you buy it at 30,
and year 29,
it's at 20.
Then, in that 30th year,
it jumps to 200.
Sure. Guess what?
You should have bought it in year 29.
Here's the funny thing the brother that buy it right before it fly up is he a short-term trader is he a bad trader is he a good trader he just sounds like yeah good
trader like okay this is the right time to buy this stock not those 29 years of losses so guess
what there's always a better there's always a good point
to get into a company.
It's never the,
all stocks are for the long term.
People make money on stocks
across every single term.
It's just,
this company is going to do what
in whatever period of time?
Company looks strong,
whatever, whatever.
Buy that company
at this period of time
and get that rise.
At the end of the day,
we invest in because
we want our investments
to grow in value.
And the truth is, we want them to grow in value as quickly as we can exactly yeah you think
if you tell me if i had the power to make ncb shares which fell by the way to 180 something
and 190 something wow i think that's in reaction to trans jamaica you think or maybe bad results
coming but whatever it is yeah it's a nice good tidbit for you but if i could get if i could turn
the share price of ncb shares from 189 or 190 to 390 overnight by snapping my finger i would
you know yeah dog everybody knows everybody knows i'll do it so what i really care about
is the value of my assets that i can exchange them for cash that right you know what's funny
and hypocritical what's that the celebration of gains ah because when
you're losing
for the 29 years
you're preaching
boy it sucks
for the long term
but if it
say it was there
for your long term
but the moment
you make that
short term gain
you are celebrating
boy and it's a
competence thing
you start talking
about look how
well I did
in the short term
and I don't get it
so oh that's what you're
taught and that's so that's so that's that's a stable way the most real the most if nobody knows
somebody knows absolutely nothing about numbers and you can take them from knowing absolutely
nothing the i hate to say that i mean about it but let's say that the the densest person in the
world if you're going to teach them,
the way that you're going to be able to teach them is long and slow
because it's a way that lends itself
to being easily taught
by our current teaching methods, right?
But it's not the only way.
The thing that I just want to get out
because I don't knock long-term.
Well, I don't even have to tell you that.
You know that.
Yeah, we rest for the long-term.
How long are we talking about, Signos?
Quite a while.
Yeah. How long are we talking about? There are things that we're planning for that we're
not coming for two or three years i mean people saw that that that list going that ipo list that
started in the group um that list started from 2017. we just saw your virgin um
because you mentioned that thing there your thoughts on key
big up Khalil Khalil mentioned
that thing there
your thoughts on
Key
yes
from before it
listed
yeah from before
it IPO
from when we
thought it was
being listed
yeah
your thoughts on
it and you've
been watching it
ever since
from I know
Randy keeps
mentioning Key
every now and then
I think the
original version
of that list
that IPO list
that we started
with had Key
on it
because from
before Key
even before my
time
remember I said yeah Key's one of them companies that list and we'll get to that because Key's. Because from before key even is. Before my time.
Remember I said,
yeah,
key's one of them companies that list.
And we'll get to that because key's the next thing
I want us to get to.
We'll be talking for a while guys.
We're going to jump into that.
I'm going to run,
jump off this
and we'll jump into that very quickly
and then we'll wrap it
because we know you're listening for long.
But I really want to end this point properly
because people need to get it.
The thing that we need from the industry,
I think I lost the plot a little already.
Let me get straight into it.
The thing that we need from the industry
here across the board
is a level of competence that we deserve that our money deserves all right
i know that industry knows this i know the industry loves it because you know the industry
makes money doing the things that they do they broadcast it they got barita barita had a wonderful
year with their um their their fund their fund had a wonderful set of returns this year.
And they shouted that out
and I want them to shout that out.
You know what I want them to do 2020?
Beat it.
I shout out to you, beat it.
And 2021, I want them to beat it.
I like that sort of thing.
That's what I want to hear.
You get me?
And when you improve,
you should love it.
But if you have improved
and you love it
and you shout it out
so that you've improved
and this isn't Barita specific here
that I'm talking across the industry. In general thing, if you've improved and you love it and you show it and you've improved and this isn't very specific here that i'm talking across the industry if in general thing if you've improved
human beings improving something and we love it and we show it all the improvement
you then have to loving the improvement is agreement whether or not you want to say it
out loud is agreement that i have improved from somewhere so i had some i got better at something
which means things used to be worse and if you're admitting that you've gotten better you haven't been things used to be worse and things
used to be worse we just have to admit that yo i have a point right now i'm looking at things and
saying yo we deserve better right don't tell me a year isn't enough time to test the investment
we knew going in as a year we know people have made money since so let's not try to that's that's how
gopost walking away no this right there are people who had i are growing august the people that there
are people from that grot that became millionaires over the last six months i know of two specifically
who are at my very first girl who are no millionaires and they weren't millionaires
when they were and they weren't at 900 000 but even if they were they would have made more money than all of the masters and i find that to be
embarrassing i think that the thing to hope i talked to when i'm talking to my friend i talked
to you after i tell you the reason why i feel this way straight up yo me and them man are not
supposed to be in the same level i am an amateur yeah there are lots of people who think no randy
no way the things you talk about where there's no real but I know how far this
how deep this pool goes and I'm telling you that in this pool the depth of this pool of the skill
level of this pool I am an amateur I think of myself as you think of in terms of what we think
of what you know is capable I think of myself as maybe being a six or seven out of ten in terms of
think of how far we could go
if we had the money that we had.
You have a hundred million years to play with.
What are the things you could do?
The things you could extract from the market
in terms of how you can do things.
Somebody who's at the top.
Think of Buffett and Buffett,
I'm talking not TV Buffett,
but real Buffett.
2007 Buffett, right?
Buffett who at him old age
decided he'm going to go into Forex.
Is it that
level of
sharpness?
Continuous
sharpness?
If I call it a
9 or a 10,
I have to say
I'm a 6 or a
7 and maybe
I'm pushing
myself up.
Is it maybe
access?
Yeah, no, of
course there's
access.
Yeah, but I'm not
putting any excuses
in my way.
Get there and do
it.
Right?
The rules are the
rules.
It's harsh, but I have to live by them too. My thing is if i think of myself as six or seven why the hell is
somebody who is a professional and i can't set them on the same level as me let's be honest
in terms of this skill of picking a portfolio of local equities and it is not something that is
uber difficult it is not dead easy it can feel dead easy a lot of times.
I don't think it takes anything to QWI's 91 cents today.
You think in 2022 it's going to be 91 cents?
It's going to be over $1.91.
If you're buying with a two-year timeline,
it don't take anything to know,
say your QWI is a good hold
if you want to hold it for two years, right?
That's just common sense in terms of how you think of things.
And of course, it can carry to you.'re broken you ask you should ask your license broken if i'm sending people to go to
a licensed financial advisor i get scared of doing that to be honest i am scared of doing it because
who do i send people to people they may ask me i don't want to bring up german um he's sending
people to me all the time because i know jeremy has made a lot of money for his clients he was
an advisor he's no longer an advisor he's no longer an advisor but i feel people vexing you
need to give people an advisor you know yeah as in so if our competence for the market
jeremy was there like me and him could have talked about stocks on a certain level understood it yeah
so invest on his own yeah man definitely straight up ask your investment advisor how much stocks
they've invested since start of the year i met them show you oh yeah man so he's been investing
from high school straight up um so yeah i mean just that quite a while okay now he's older than
me but yeah not much older but yeah he's been in the market doing whatever making money on the
market and the way he thinks on the hungry days yeah and then i thought about things and i i would tell him anybody come to me advisor send to germain
and i always got good feedback couple months in oh yeah man you tell me about this and we
make good money and everything was fine and he decided to not be an advisor anymore you want
to do something else move into a different area of the industry but yeah i think that's a
loss yeah but that's for me too yeah i don't feel comfortable fully comfortable just recommending
anybody because i know the level of competence that is required from people and yeah yeah
in conversation yeah in conversations i've felt the same way recently i'm recommending on
customer service.
Yeah.
Can you imagine if I recommend somebody
and that person is not good?
Randy say.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's me saying one day,
trying to find,
I'm blazing it up
because I think that we need it to be better.
And it's not about the individuals.
I literally am without an individual.
So I can,
I mean,
I can apologize to them
if they feel bad about it.
I didn't,
I know ill will towards them them but as an industry point i can't be honest if i say i'm
sorry about the point because i'm not sorry about the point the truth is the industry needs to be
better and the industry is getting better i like that and i'm seeing them know it
i see some industry people um big up Kirk who's Kirk Kramer Rowe
Kramer Rowe
underscore
yeah man
yeah
Kirk
he's on top of it
I can hear him talk about the market
the things he looks at
I thought he was on top of the market
yeah
I get it
yeah
he even helped start
the 876 investment movement
I read those
yeah
I'm doing them things
big them up again
um
yeah I don't want to dwell
on this point too long
but my point is that
yeah it really is
it's annoying
my thing is guys
we deserve better for the money
we can do better
let's all do better
alright
pay these people
yeah
they get paid to
you're goddamn right
they get paid to do it
so let's be better
alright I don't want to keep
people too long
so let's go into the real
nice things
it doesn't matter
see the key there
lock them up
no
you know that
are you old enough to know that oh god you know up now you know that are you old enough
to know that
oh god
you know that
do you know Bogle
you old enough
to know Bogle
Randy come on
I'm just asking
you know Mr. Wacky
Randy do
Mr. Wacky
I know you don't know
Mr. Wacky
the way I know
Mr. Wacky
because to me
Bogle was like
I know when Bogle
became like an artist
like it was a big deal
you guys are used
to ding dong
there was a dancer
couldn't become an artist who do you think I am I don't think you're old enough to know when Bogle became like an artist like it was a big deal you guys are used to ding dong there was a dancer couldn't become an artist i don't think you're old enough to know when bogle was becoming
bogle when bogle was bogle the dancer but you can't be old enough to know when bogle was a
dancer in the 90s in the 90s black roses you can't know you're born i know i know again it was even a
thing for us when bogle died well yeah it's, it's called, the thing is called crime. No, no, you know what I mean.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, it was a big deal.
And the Bogo, the dance, my aunties, I don't know what we were doing at the time.
Yeah, aunties.
You're hearing people, that's all I want to say.
I'm calling around your home.
Big up your aunties.
Yeah, well, that's enough of a tangent.
Let's go straight into it.
We're saying, so the big deal thing that we haven't mentioned yet is the Grace.
Yeah, the key for the Bully Beast.
Yeah, so Grace put out an offer to Yeah, the key for the bully beef. Yeah.
So grace put out an offer
to buy an acquisition offer
for key insurance.
Yeah, so the offer is
we are put out an offer
for 100% of the shareholdings
and they said they want to limit
their shareholdings
to at least 80%.
Limit their shareholdings
so the most they would take up
is 80% at the end of the day.
You downloaded the um the
notice went up when did it go up last week sometime wednesday thursday yeah notice went up you you
downloaded the document yeah yeah that's no longer on the site i can't see it anymore yeah just i
wonder why i think it's up here now okay people have it i think it's out there probably i've been
scrutinizing it to see what exactly it says that
would warrant it
not being there
at some point
you'll have to come out
so just to catch people
up to speed
Grace is trying to buy
key insurance
which is a company
on the junior market
Grace is Grace
that you know
Grace that's responsible
for the food
but Grace that really
makes its money from
GKFG
GKFG
GKFG
financial group there we go which is
remittance banking yeah but the money really comes from it right yeah that's the heavy cash call yeah
but that keeps up but they have good things and they've been reorganizing and being very open
about the fact that uh quick one so but then they really make the money from the food and money from
the money and i think remittance not just in jamaica because i believe that they have the
remittance license for the region but i think remittance i think to the region has actually
been slowing down could be wrong we can always check um and grace is a company that thinks long
term and is very professional and very very they're truly a corporation yeah so they're
looking down the road and going hey this thing is slowing down it's time for me to try and diversify
yeah and change what it is pivot with more energy into something that i know can give me what i need So they're looking down the road and going, hey, this thing is slowing down. It's time for me to try and diversify.
Yeah, and change what it is.
Pivot with more energy into something that I know can give me what I need.
No, I found it weird.
How many insurance companies Grace owns?
Two.
Two?
What are they named?
GK.
General?
GKGI?
Yeah, GKGI.
Grace Kennedy General Insurance and Canopy.
Canopy. Canopy.
Canopy Insurance. They own something else.
I don't even remember.
They own quite a few things
in the insurance field.
But I don't remember.
I know they own 50% of Canopy,
which is that new company,
which has all of their workers under it
and also the workers from
the Musson Group.
And if you think about the Musson Group,
I don't want to go too deep into it.
I don't want to keep it too long. Big people.'t want to go too deep into it separate and a whole holy but it's separate officially in a muslim group i don't know
i think separate is a separate but they're they're definitely affiliated to ownership at least
yeah um and and so i think canopy has a good future ahead of it and already have gkg and
they have a couple of other things. But Key Insurance is an insurance company
that one, didn't have really strong numbers.
It was going through a rough time.
And now is at halfway through its tax breaks.
It has a 50% corporate tax break.
And it's just about to be acquired by Grace, right?
From the sisters who owned it and control it.
And are now selling their shareholding to Grace.
Now first, tidbit people asking about, know is it is grace buying 100 or 80 percent um they have to put out
an offer for 100 because the law says that yeah so it does make sense to let in one go instead of
buy it and then they say i'll put out a nice offer just splitting one go and limitation limited take
up yeah what that law says is that once you own more than 50 percent of a company a listed company you acquire more than 50 percent yeah you you have to level you have
to drop and take over offer to every shareholder now the law doesn't tell you how much that offer
has to be at it doesn't tell you you don't have to if the company costs 50 per share you can drop
an offer of a one dollar per share that nobody will take up yeah but a lot of says that you have
to do it right
um and so they they're at 15 and they know they're going to buy an amount that would put them over the 50. so they just level that takeover offer one time to go for it and they have a lock-up
agreement with the current owners to say that you will sell me your shares and the rate of basis if
the if if the case so the agreement is if the case comes that I am taking more than 80%,
they will sell their shares on a pro-rater basis
to limit Grace's acquisition
to the 80%. So they'll
never have more than 80% of the company.
I understand. And then
they did that so that they can keep the 80%,
which is the 80%
requirement, shareholding requirement limit
by under the junior stock exchange,
which says to me that they are very interested in keeping that tax break yeah now if i have two companies that
do the same thing even if that's right you don't want to pay that money there is tax there's money
out there they want to pay so if if no i'm saying if you think if you think from grace if you think
in terms of speculative way if i have two companies that do the same thing and one enjoys 50 no tax
and the other one pays full tax
very quickly a lot of the business would be start flowing to the other company because i don't want
to have tax or maybe i'd have this company buy something else or buy that in order to
benefit from the tax break and push this and consolidate everything um i am very excited step
two of it is what is what is important to me So now we know that the offer is going there and they're offering
to buy out the shares at 201.
Current share price is $4 something.
So they're coming in
at half of the price.
So in other words,
regular people probably
aren't interested in buying into it.
But if you're buying
a heavy amount of shares,
which is them buying 65%,
they want to take up 65%
of the company from the owners.
And they said they're going to 80%
if they can.
They did.
I said that, you know.
No, they did.
Where?
Maybe that's in the same document.
I'll have to read it again.
I will read it again.
What did I read from it?
If it's not there, then I will certainly edit this out.
But if it is there, and I believe it is there,
that it stated that they were looking for 80% of the company
and they were maxing themselves to 80%.
And they had an agreement which stated that the sisters who are selling have agreed that
in order to protect the 80% shareholding
and keep them on the right side of the law,
meaning that the new owners,
all will happen is that they will do a sort of,
this is my words,
a sort of balancing act where
they will only sell the bank shareholders
up to that 80%.
Well, up to that, up to what why it is but if some if somebody else
chooses for whatever reason to sell into grace and grace gets more outside of that then then
the sisters will keep those shares for themselves instead of selling to grace they'll just keep it
for themselves and just limit them to that 80 yeah um that means that if anybody takes this offer which is again
i roughly have the price the market price then um that would cause the sisters to have to keep those
shares but the reality is i think nobody's going to take that or maybe somebody will you're noticing
something earlier with the holdings no the whole thing so the grace are not the whole thing is that grace has 15 and the sisters no own 50
so 65 percent that he was guaranteed for grace 65 percent guarantee 65 percent on top of the 15.
50 50 on top of this thing 65 but grace said 80. the 80, I think they said,
was that they're limiting their take-up to 80%. Yeah, but you're only guaranteed to get 65.
Which, the limiting take-up is,
we won't go over 80.
True.
It's not that they won't buy,
it's not that they are buying 80.
I'm going to check right now.
I'm not going to say too much
because I don't want to screw with this,
but I think it'll be very interesting. I'll check to see if want to say too much cause I don't want to screw with this, but I think it'll be very interesting.
I'll check to see if none of this is edited.
So people,
if you are hearing this,
then none of it needed to be edited.
And it wasn't a document that was made public at the time.
Um,
and I believe it said 80,
which implies to me that there could be a further,
somebody else selling,
maybe somebody major.
If you look at the top 10 owners of that,
there are a couple of interesting people in the top 10 maybe
somebody yeah maybe somebody chooses to sell theirs at 2 because they're in from
early maybe somebody's in from one and I'm selling at 2 and maybe is somebody
who can't own two things hi guys this is Randy from the future me just jumping in for one second to say that i
did what you just heard me promise to do which is that i went back and checked the document
and um spoke to danai of course and let's just say that the wording of it is very interesting
uh i think we're just going to i've left this in just a posterity and it would be hard to edit
because i wanted to keep the flow of the conversation and have people understand it.
But I will tell you to not take anything here as gospel.
We're not licensed investment advisors, obviously.
And also, I think the wording itself, if you can see it, if you can find somebody who have it because the document was pulled.
I think the wording around this is something that indicates why it may have been pulled off the jsc site after it was
initially put up so that 80 65 15 thing is very interesting that's all i'll say i'll leave it
there but um yeah just wanted to clarify but i didn't want to ruin the episode so here you go
and in case anybody's saying oh that's why the episode was late i mean kind of kind of, kind of. We were pretty tired when we recorded
and it was recorded pretty late.
But yeah, you can talk to me about it on Twitter.
The point is, let me not go on for too long.
The point is, listen to it,
accept it as just one point that Randy and I said.
But here, as you can see,
Randy was saying one thing and then I was saying another.
If you have a friend who you can link,
who maybe downloaded the document
when it came out before it was pulled off, you can look at it and see what we're talking about.
Outside of that, just a little bit of patience, because this will all come out pretty soon in
terms of what happened or what will happen or what the intention is. We'll all see. But the
gist is the same, right? They legally have to ask for 100% of the company, and that's what they have
done. And I think they have made it clear that they have a lockup agreement with the previous owners,
who you hear us refer to as the sisters.
And that agreement has them acquiring their shares.
That I think we all know is clear.
And once they acquire even a part of those shares,
and the sisters are legally required to do it because they have an agreement.
But once they have those shares, it then allows them to control the company anyway and i think
they want control of the company and they want to ensure that the company that they control
still keeps its tax break that was the main point this is me talking too much and i'm going to show
something let's go back to the episode hope you guys enjoy it maybe you remember you remember how
it was said that ncb sold their jmb shares because jmb was going to get the
commercial banking license and so you know there's i think there's a limitation to
one person being able to there's a limitation around how much of jmb did ncb sell when that
happened they had to do it afterwards none none they sold that they sold everything to um
yeah sure they were they had them as an associate stake and they sold out an associate
stake. When did JMB get the commercial
banking license? After. Sure.
No, I'm not sure. I could be wrong.
I'm just asking
if you remember then.
I think that's fairly recent.
The selling of the thing that
JMB stake
with selling to Proven
and getting it off the books
yeah i think that was after jmb got this thing there i hope you're right i leave this in well
i mean i made a right i'm wrong we'll always check but we won't get to edit this back so
people if you're hearing this and i'm wrong i was wrong guess what i tell you guys i'm wrong all the
time one of us is wrong one of us is right yeah we'll find out i'll hopefully put the right thing
in the show notes but i it was but it just cast my mind back to that
because if there is a rule around
one person being able to
hold a controlling stake
in two companies
and there could be a rule
there could be things like that
with regards to
start looking monopolistic
if it's hard to enter
into things like that
exactly
and I think there is that
your trading commission
start looking
I think there is that
with commercial banks specifically
because that's a hard
license to get
in Jamaica
and it's
regulated
yeah
this is
verifiable
yeah
we should be
verifying it
no guys
we're not
doing it
so yeah
so you'll
find out
right around
next episode
I hope you guys
into that
yeah so what
so what the
next thing to
happen is in
the process of
the key buyout
or the key
the key offer
is the board of key has to respond to
um grace's offer um and i expect i tweeted it that i expect them to say no i expect them to say do
not take this offer because it's half of the market price four dollars something on the market
right now they're offering two dollars like a bit and do not take it uh and maybe you don't if you
choose to get out if you have a big amount
of shares on you want you say we're not sticking around with this thing then this might be an
opportunity to just get it out anyway yeah yeah and jmb would have to buy it because they leveled
the offer yeah so you probably have a chance to gk sorry gk why did i mention jmb there
no i think it's because I'm looking at the top 10
top 10 I know
yeah
so
so
there is an opportunity
there I think
for somebody
who might have
a big volume
but again
you're taking
half market value
there right
so what kind of
value
what kind of
cut is that
basically there's
a better price
on the market
yeah
that's saying
I can sell for this
but I'm going to sell
for less
yeah
what do you think
Grace won with it
the usual there's no usual there's no usual for Grace so it's either that's saying i can sell for this but myself for this yeah what do you think grace won't do it
the usual it's not you there's no usual there's no usual for grace so it's either thing there ah
small push no so my least hope it's a very big hope for me it's just use it to take up their shareholding in canopy but that and then the reverse acquisition or something reserve
reverse takeover or something of the sort yeah and then imagine canopy going up against agicore
big hope like imagine if that's allowed yeah
that's maybe there's like a regulated industry restriction. Oh, there's also the issue. No, but key was insurance.
Oh, by the way.
So I was informed that you cannot run health insurance,
health life insurance, and general insurance on the same company.
Oh, there's a restriction on that?
Yeah.
Health life and general can be in one place?
In one place.
Which is why we have general insurance insurers separate from car also because you
know this is no subject is there a subject or car insurance you sure such a quarter
owner i know they don't know but look at the way they own it one company advantage yes and they
don't own it it's a group of holding not sergeant jamaica or not not not not the insurance company
in sagittarius that sagicore financial
it's not a business line it's two separate companies it's owned by the same people
it's not a business line so it's not like one company
oh it's just that they share owners their shareholders
i don't know i don't know i don't know I don't know if that's that's a
hundred percent accurate what's that there's nobody that that has general and
and tell me who when NCB bought Guardian they sold advantage and advantage does wow no i don't think they sold it before though they did that did happen
but that wouldn't but sagicore bought it so that no who bought it sagicore you just told me who
bought it sagicore financial group financial group is who bought it or is it sagicore jamaica
i think you sure actually let me verify
there you go because i'm thinking that you i don't know what you said about that rule about you
the rule i'm hearing is that it's you can't own them as us in the same company so it's not one
company so one company can offer and like yeah yeah an advantage is fully part of the ncb group
yeah they're they're fully under that umbrella
Advantage was fully part of the NCB group.
Yeah, they're fully under that umbrella.
What's the business line?
What do you mean, what's the business line?
It was a separate company, completely.
It was, yeah, but they got rid of it when they bought Guardian.
I'm not sure that that's the reason.
What do you mean?
When they took over 62% of Guardian Group,
that gave them controlling interest in Guardian Jamaica. And so, but it's following your rule.
And a lot of people found that sale to be very sudden.
And then Sajikor bought it.
Sajikor that owns.
Which Sajikor bought it?
That's the question.
Sajikor Drew Jamaica.
Which website are you reading that on?
JSC.
Say it to me.
Sajikor Drew Jamaica has a sale upstairs in advantage
general by ncb capital markets on unincorporated concerted by a surgical investments jamaica
to his holy own subsidiary phoenix equity holding sagicor investments is who is doing that through
an unincorporated consortium led by
Sajikor Investment
Jamaica
you're not
Sajikor alive
this is a
Sajikor group
but CapMarket
CapMarket
Advantage General
it would be
the same separation
CapMarket
Advantage General
so it wouldn't
intermingle with
Guardian
the same owners
so I don't think
that's why they sold
I think that's why
they sold
AJRC
hold on
no no no no
NCB Cap
sold to Sajikor
Investments
no they didn't
they sold it to
another company
that is owned by
Sajikor Investments
that Sajikor Investments
has a stake in but
do remember say there is um two other owners including the xm the md at least i think at
the time he was the md imagine director there's something there there's something to that rule
dig into it i won't give the people too much we'll call that one homework but there's something
there i'm definitely going to look into it right now what i don't i think i've been going long
enough um so you think that they're going to do something like i mean i think it's the same thing
oh yeah definitely i think there's no way the best thing for me to do that i can see put keys book
over to g um um gk general so and then general managers and then he does give up his license insurance license and then acquires gk
fg that is a wild heavy wild play but not no real risk because the owner doesn't lose anything
you could sell that license to somebody if it's allowed i don't know but you might
incorporate another company yeah somebody could buy the like the already licensed
company yeah like that asset okay the license is an asset and if it can be transferred we'd be not
holding for speculation but guys it's always that what if gk so basically sergey corey key give up
his insurance business to gk general so gk general just holds that and then key gives up his license so it's just
on a holding company and then it acquires gkfg and then gkfg that full group pays half taxes
that would be a killer move oh i like that oh that includes a bank that includes so many things
i don't even know if that would be allowed yeah i really want yeah i
don't know if that would be it yeah because they're doing regularity approval because
yeah there's so much regulatory approval across that well i mean it's a merchant bank
maybe you leave the merchant bank isn't fg a commercial i don't think it's a commercial
but no it's a merchant bank oh yeah um yeah that was two that would two come under boj though yeah it does
but but but they have different rules yeah yeah because you can own that's why i said there's a
point when jmmb was a merchant bank and when they got upgraded to get their commercial license i
believe some things change because i think there's a restriction so we will check it but you get the
idea i'm with you that i think something they can't waste a tax break you have to take you have a reverse buy something you have something
yeah if you want a simple maybe just buy your insurance company yo we could be finding the
bike canopy alone you know yeah imagine that's a good goal for me capitalize key bring canopy in
and then and then the rights issue capitalize key by lending canopy here hear me out here's my dream
have canopy do a loan to key and keep to like a billion or two whatever six ten billion
um well two and a half so this is the 10 billion 10 million us and then key uses that money to buy canopy.
Now this company owns the company who it owes its debt.
You can't owe yourself.
So you kind of,
but,
but maybe you can,
because on the books is two separate,
it's two separate entities and two separate entities.
There's a debt there to be paid.
And that money have to come from somewhere.
Then you do a rights issue as key.
And the use of the rights issue is to pay off the debt
used to buy
That I used to buy myself essentially
You could choose to do that
I could be fancy for that and the experts and again after somebody shouting at the phone as to why I can't work There are many ways it can go wrong, to be honest
But yeah, I can't
In a day, reverse takeover, yeah in a day reverse takeover but yeah
my issue with
reverse takeover is
they would have to
factor in muslims
they would have to
factor in muslims
yeah because
muslims not gonna
lose 50%
why would they lose
why would you think
that muslims
would be in on this also
no definitely
as in I just
so GK does his thing no does this thing it's it's canopy lends key the money
to buy canopy sakino owns canopy and has that debt on its books how much i can't put it on
they buy it they buy it all right but we're from muslim yeah and and from grace so muslim would
have to get serious muslim would have to get paid i don't i think it's a longer play for muslim than
us okay but hold on i'm gonna see if it's a right issue afterwards you know you reserve and it's a
heavy right issue if the moment the bio canopy mustn't go on can't be anymore that's cool and i reserve
it don't matter it don't matter because in the rights issue you guaranteed me some future shares
i just give me some shares in key for the pre for the to pay a pay pay via key pay pay before
thing that payment for canopy fire key by a key shirt yeah but you can do a rights issue to cover the debt
and get actual money from the public we're talking like we're talking to ourselves we're on a podcast
that is true yeah but no it's true hey well that's how we think i know this is going on
yeah yeah because we're touching the point yeah wow guys yeah so if you heard that and so you say
that we're wrong well welcome to our minds we're wrong a lot. Yeah. Wow, guys. Yeah. So, so if you heard that and you say that we're wrong, well, welcome to our minds.
We're wrong a lot of times.
That's how we get right.
Yeah.
Excited.
I'm kind of excited about it.
It's most exciting.
Yeah.
I thought the most exciting thing this quarter would have been like the
signals and maybe Jamaica,
but no,
out of the blue.
And there's more coming.
I am at JC at the conference Saturday and they had an announcement from jmmb new ipo oh yes alliance group another financial group
coming right and i think age has come in i think we have cm am i jesus i can't say cm that's a
dangerous letter these days uh that what is that what is the C what am I thinking of
it's that insurance
broker
CAB
CAB
and I think there's a whole heap more
in the off
