BLUMONT GROUP (fka Adroit Innovations) is the star sizzler stock of 2013, having surged from 17.18 cents at the start of the year to $2.43 recently. Its market cap is now S$4.2 billion. 

One lucky investor had bought 500,000 shares in 2010 for $15,087 at 3.02 cents apiece, and now they are worth $1.18 million.

Certainly the stock has been on a crazy tear -- and the action happened just this year. Some forumers have ventured that the stock is cornered.

We are baffled as to why the stock has done so well and we won't venture into any discussion about its business fundamentals. You may read its 1H2013 results announcement on the SGX website. 

For what it's worth, here is the story of one very lucky investor as reflected in several posts in SG Talk forum.





Blumont_chart9.13Chart: Bloomberg
GameOver: Damm lucky now then realise this counter made 1million+ alr!
thanks! that's my father account, hope can share abit Smile

Yin yang: Your father must be doing a lot of good...congrats!

honeybadger: if my portfolio appreciates 2-3X , i will be very contended. This is an exceptional case, the father is like a lucky star..

spider: threadstarter what's your father's next pick? do kindly share with fellow bros/sis here Rolleyes

GameOver: His picks only around 10% is accurate, he mostly anyhow buy. He just buy and put it there very long , he does not really care about how the market performs etc can 1 week login see one time those type, got some counters lose around 80% of its value. He just gave me a few of his accounts to trade and stop buying stocks anymore..he still got quite a number of stocks left. those who are really interested could pm me Smile

sgbuyers: This company financial report looks very strange. Revenue only a few million a year but market cap a few billions. Better than china S-chips. notworthy

GameOver: its real.. he does not speak english don't really understand stocks much and dunno how to use brokerage accounts... just dug out this account and he ask me to use this to trade (and im the one who reset the pw of this acct) instead of the previous one has abit issue with the broker...
he still holding counters with big loss like falcon energy 500lots @ $0.66+ abit hard to advice him to sell off

Chinatownboy: I fully agree for a common layman investor, esp one who actively monitors the market, had be bought a stock low at sub 10c, high chances that he would have sold all or a substantial part of his holdings when the stock has appreciated multiple folds in the 40c, 50c range.

Unless the person 1) is or know an insider of the Company which he's supremely confident the stock would climb several folds higher within a few years 2) stopped trading or monitoring the market for a few years 3) takes a heavy gamble on the dream that the sky is the limit for the stock to surge.

I think luck and guts are a big factor. For myself I bought Blumont when it was Adroit between 8-10c. I sold progressively when it hit 40c to 1.80. Why I did so was cos the ghost of the last financial crisis kept haunting me. I remembered many of my pennies which had gains of 4-5 figures eroded in a matter of weeks, and in a few months down the road some of them were left trading below 10c. I still have a lil bit of Blumont left and will continue to take profit in small batches.

My profit is nothing to shout abt compared to TS' dad. I always try and psycho myself to be contented with whatever profits i made n not regret that I have sold at a much lower price. I try to tell myself what if the stock market does a big u turn one day, it could be déjà vu all over again. I can stomach risks but as I grow older I try not to take excessive risks.

To those who are thinking of buying Blumont stocks during this difficult period, maybe they should do some further due diligence first before contemplating such action. The reason is that come 22 Oct the rights issue of new Blumont shares are going to flood the market. Those who picked up these rights by paying only a conversion price of 5 cents are most likely to offload them at the present range of 19-20 cents which will put further pressure on the stock. Whether its price will be affected negatively or not after 22 Oct no one knows, but this factor need to be taken into consideration before making the decision to buy in (i.e. buying in with eyes open).

Informer
Most likely that is the case because rumours have it during the run up period that the counter had been cornered.

CC Low: I don't think the market was probably 'misinformed". It's probably one of syndicate control and manipulation. I am left with that impression because surely no rational thinking investor would buy at such incredible valuations as those that Blumont traded at before kena suspended.
#5 C.C. Low 2013-10-04 09:07
The phrase "were properly misinformed" in second sentence in comment above should read as "were probably misinformed"
#4 C.C. Low 2013-10-04 09:02
Game over for Blumont. Today dropped like a bomb from 1.89 openning to 0.88 before SGX put a trading stop and suspended all trading. Those who bought in during its "bull run" were properly misinformed, and are now aware that the group is actually buying into a loss making foreign coal mining company and making a very heavy investment at that (including having to fork out substantial loan to the "target" even before Blumont shareholders get to vote on the proposed takeover).

can tell GameOver is a very honest person from the things he/she wrote; esp about his dad "His picks only around 10% is accurate, he mostly anyhow buy." lol

Speculative sentiment is hot and people may be tempted to jump in. But anyone buying at the current level could turn into a pauper?
