    Kaubamaja Q4 sales. The Q4 total sales came in at EEK 1.339 billion, equal to y-o-y growth of 34%. This is in-line with our forecast of EEK 1.364 billion. Supermarket business segment generated sales of EEK 834m, up 38% y-o-y, and department store business line made total sales of EEK 437, up 31% y-o-y. Revenues from real estate business totalled EEK 29m. The company also announced its plans regarding the expansion to Latvia. By the end of 2009, the company plans to open at least 15 Selvers in Latvia (both supermarket and hypermarket formats). First stores will be opened in 2008. Assuming the average size of a store remains the same, the expansion represents an upside of around 70% in sales space.

    Estonia posted six-year high inflation in December = 5.1%. According to Estonian Statistical Office, consumer prices grew by 5.1% in December, the highest increase since September 2001. The growth was mainly driven by the increase in housing expenditures (+14.9% y-o-y), and in the prices of food and non-alcoholic beverages (+6.5% y-o-y). The only commodity group where prices eased in December was communications (-4.7% y-o-y).
     
    Weak December from Vilniaus Baldai. Yesterday we wrote that the company had improved its performance by increasing daily production by 33%. However, December sales figures did not much confirm that. December sales came in at LTL 9.7m, down by 14.6% y-o-y. The total sales in 2006 amounted to LTL 100.3m, equal to y-o-y drop of 9.5%.

    No crash in Estonian real estate. In an interview to Aripaev, Viljas Arakas, CEO of Estonia's largest real estate developer Arco Vara, said that there will be no real estate crash in Estonia any time soon. On one hand, it is perfectly normal to say so, given that the company has recently pulled out of two large projects. On the other hand, in our view, it could also reaffirm that Arco is still on IPO course (which has been speculated for a long time now).

    Latvia to squeeze real estate speculators. According to daily Dienas Bizness, Latvia is planning to implement a new tax to fight real estate speculation. According to the plan, everyone who buys and sells the same real estate within 12 month time will be taxed with 25% from the amount of the deal.

    "Drop the question what tomorrow may bring, and count as profit every day that fate allows you."

    -- Horace

    I've made it quite clear lately that I believe the market has a sharp pullback coming in the near future. Although I feel quite strongly about that, one of the tenets of Shark Investing is to not be overly anticipatory about future market direction. It is important to focus on what is in front of you so you can profit today rather than simply sit and hope to profit on something that may unfold next week.

    If you look too far ahead and try anticipate what may happen, it is easy to overlook the profitable opportunities that arise on a daily basis.

    The way you approach this issue depends on your trading style. The shorter your time frame the more aggressive you can be trading solely what is happening at this moment, but if you can't watch the market closely or you are managing substantial funds, some sort of anticipation becomes necessary.

    As I've moved from trading just my own capital to managing a hedge fund, this has been the most difficult issue for me to deal with. I need to have a market thesis and anticipate to some extent so that I can act quickly and decisively as events unfold, but I also need to respect what is happening in front of me and try to generate profits immediately as opportunities arise. The problem is that it is increasingly difficult to move quickly as you deal with more funds.

    What I find I must do is work harder at anticipating and developing theories but forego taking any action until there is some solid proof that they are coming to fruition. Right now that is particularly important. Although I feel quite strongly we are on shaky footing, the action has not broken down and in fact the likelihood of some upward spikes remains quite high. Although I might anticipate mentally and theoretically that the market will fall, I don't want to act on that belief at this point because there is still no hard proof.

    In fact, there is still money to be made on the upside in the short term and I'd be foolish to pass it up by anticipating too far ahead. That is where we are today and although I might be cautious and distrustful, that isn't going to stop me from taking some long-side trades if I can find them.

    We have a positive open in the way. Crude oil is being smacked once again and is trading down close to $2 as I write. The pullback there is nothing short of stunning and I'd be very surprised if it doesn't have some negative repercussions or indicate something negative in the worldwide economy. Overseas markets are up and Alcoa kicks off earnings season this evening.

  • "Volatiilsusindeks VIX on väikest toetustaset järgides tõusnud 12 punktini. Kas hirm on vaikselt taas üles kerkimas."

    Aimar, palun ole hea, uuri kõigepealt järgi, mida VIX näitab. Ja siis mõtle, kas isegi teoreetiliselt peaks üldse olema võimalik sellisele instrumendile tehnilist analüüsi teha.

    Ja kui sa suudad natukenegi graafikutest väljapoole mõelda, siis äkki meenub sulle, et tulemuste hooaeg on algamas, millega seoses volatiilsus tõuseb. Mitte ei põrka üks joon teise joone pealt. Põhjus-tagajärg?
  • mis sellistest nagu ESCL ikkagi saab kui ta mul portfellis oleks?
    ettevõte ise ei kao ju kuhugi ja osalus etevõttes ei saa ju lõppeda ainuüksi delistimise tõttu

    ja mis saab optsioonidest?
    kui ma näiteks 2,5 calli juulisse olen ostnud siis ma tahaks seda äkki ikkagi teostada näiteks juulis
  • Tulemuste hooaeg ei tohiks nüüd küll VIX-i liiga palju mõjutada, suurem hüpe VIX-il oli näiteks novembri lõpul kui 10 tasemelt toimus hüpe 12 tasemele, majandustulemuste hooaeg oli siis läbi saanud ning tänupühade järgne suurem langus tõi kaasa ka volatiilsuse suurenemise.

    Samas toetustaset vast VIX-i puhul ei ole tõesti õige kasutada, pigem meenutab VIX graafik EKG joonist - väga järskudele tippudele on järgnenud pikemad stabiilsusperioodid.
  • ESCL jääb pink sheetina ikka kauplema, lihtsalt Nasdaq delistib.
  • Kasutan ära juhust, et yanek teema üles võttis.
    Mind on vaevanud pikka aega küsimus, et mis saab shortidest siis, kui suure lühikeseksmüügi %-ga ettevõte nagu PWEI börsilt ära viiakse? Tegelikult sellele küsimusele tean vastust isegi, aga järgnevatele mitte.
    Oletame, et firma ostab tagasi oma aktsiaid ja lõpuks jääb alles vaid üks nö.tõeline aktsionär ja ta soovib börsilt lahkuda. Kuna ta on firma ainuomanik, siis ei pea ta väljaostupakkumist tegema? Kas ta siis saab shortijatelt küsida vaid näiteks mingit viimase 6 kuu keskmist hinda? Oletame, et shortijad ei ole nõus aktsiaid tagasi ostma? Aga firma ainuomanik otsustab ettevõtte likvideerida. Kui võtta reaalne aktsiakapital, siis võib juhtuda, et ühe aktsia hinnaks tuleb päris suur number. No millal siis shortijad ikkagi peavad lühikeseksmüüdud aktsiad tagasi ostma? Jääb selline tunne, et ei peagi? Ehk on keegi selle asja endale selgeks teinud?
