Three pay days to go

Okay, so this one is a little late. I am now in my last three months of full time work and there isn't a great deal to report. I have started the course work for my degree (first two assignments have been submitted) and am finding the combination of full time employment (even on less intensive hours than usual),academic study and a small volunteer job to be very intensive. That said, I am really enjoying it all at the moment.

The downside is that I have had less time to focus on my investments than usual. The only material pre-retirement task which is still outstanding is to update my will to reflect the cancellation of my term life insurance.

Mentally, I think that I have gotten used to the idea that there won't be any more pay cheques after I get paid for September.

Hi, I am a New Zealand based investor and hold some share in Luk Fook. Is there any website showing the total short interest in this stock ? I have found daily trading data but not the accumulated interests. Thank You.

Hi

Thanks for dropping by.

I am not aware if that information is available anywhere. What I am aware of:

1. HKEX publishes daily data of reported short sales on that day

2. There are disclosure of interests filings for short positions of substantial shareholders and directors. These can be found on HKEX or the listed company's own website or on AA Stocks

3. for designated companies, the SF publishes periodically aggregate large short positions: http://www.sfc.hk/web/EN/regulatory-functions/market-infrastructure-and-trading/short-position-reporting/aggregated-short-positions-of-specified-shares.html

Note - for HK purposes, "short" interests are not limited to short sales of actual shares but include derivative positions etc

Hi traineeinvestor,

is there an (English) list of the 1400 companies ordered to shut down or cut production ?

I think this is a rather interesting way to undo damage done from moneyprinting and overinvestment. I wonder what the unintended consequences will be ?

Hi

Thanks for dropping by.

Unfortunately, I don't know of such a list and would like to see it myself.
