I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

Right issue back again (5)

Read? Right issue back again (4)

As retail investors it is much harder to think how our interests in the company can be diluted by not fully subscribing to rights issue.

Here is the story of BB and easier to see why?

BB has a 9% stake in Company A and was given a Board seat due to the 9% holding in the company.

One day, Company A does a 1 for 1 rights issue.

BB's Investment Manager thinking that he was smart. He sold the rights and made millions of dollars out of it.

He went to his boss to tell him the "Good" news.

Investment Manager: "Boss, we have made millions of dollars from selling those rights. So will I be expecting a special year-end bonus?"

Boss: "You idiot! We have just lost our Board seat  as we now only have 4.5% stake."

Get it?

Anyone need more examples? let me know .. I can then think more about it.
