KENANGAN 1997 - KERUGIAN KONTRA DAN 'SHORT-SELLING' - OLEH NIK ZAFRI
* Senario ini adalah contoh - bayangkan kerugian yang saya alami jika dikalikan dengan membeli 20 lot (malah lebih dari itu)
Juga amat penting kita melihat apa yang berlaku di luar negara, contohnya; walaupun sudah terdapat internet ketika itu - namun penggunaannya agak terhad sedikit berbanding masakini; saya telah mendengar kisah di internet, rakan-rakan pelabur memaklumkan sedang berlaku trend "jualan pendek" (Short Selling) secara besar-besaran hasil permainan spekulator bagi pelabur mendapat keuntungan dari harga yang sedang jatuh bagi saham yang harganya berada pada paras yang luarbiasa tingginya. Ketika itu 'saham AA' ditinggikan nilainya (overvalue) pada (contohnya) 25 pound (yang pastinya akan jatuh harganya) - kemudian ianya dijual pada harga 25 pound walaupun pelabur tidak memiliki sebaran unit saham AA. Apabila saham AA jatuh ke harga 20 pound, pelabur telah membeli stok berkenaan bagi menyelesaikan dagagannya dan mendapat keuntungan 5 pound sesaham. Bezanya apabila harga saham AA melambung ke 30 pound, pelabur telah kerugian 5 pound sesaham bagi membeli saham AA untuk menyelesaikan tanggungjawab dagangannya.
Namun, kerugian kontra saya ketika itu terlalu besar menyebabkan habis semua aset saya terpaksa saya jual. Ramai juga pelabur-pelabur (kebanyakannya rakan-rakan saya) yang menjadi hampir 'mereng' disebabkan situasi ini. Sehingga kini, saya masih belum dapat pulih sepenuhnya walaupun keadaan kewangan saya semakin stabil.
Apa yang saya lihat hari ini, kita perlu bersedia dengan kemungkinan menangkis 'serangan cara lain dan halus' ke atas ekonomi negara. Cabaran yang bakal kita hadapi sangat berbeza dengan cabaran yang saya hadapi pada tahun 1997.
