20060420 Bursamalaysia is another stock that can point to whether 'foreign funds' are headed to Bursa shares ownership. Substantial shareholder filings show that Newton Investments of London owns 48.091 m Bursa shares representing 9.34% of the paid up capital. 

20060419 Much has been flouted around about 'foreign funds', is there any, are they coming to Malaysia, have they deserted Malaysia, is Bursa stocks off these foreign funds radar screen etc. This chart of Digi.com tells a story of how, maybe 'foreign funds' are reevaluating Bursamalaysia stocks. Theedgedaily.com reports that Goldman Sachs has become a substantial shreholder these few months, buying as much as 40 million Digi shares on the open market. 

20060403 Bursamalaysia Derivatives has some plans to introduce new products. Interactivebrokers is one of the biggest market maker firms in the world options/futures markets. Would be a good idea to get this firm in to the Bursamalaysia market, since none of the 5 foreign stockbroking firms nor any of the institutions want to make the market for derivative profucts. Case in point is the index options on the KLCI which has zero trading for years.
