- Yes, it is true that the market capitalization is too small for any
- reliable references to information-driven efficiency. However, traders
- also use a investor expectation model that is based on characteristics
- of past trading activity with relation to a series of variables in the
- market. One of the variables that is relevant to the Kuala Lumpur Index
- is the speculative nature of trades being processed and the number of
- trades within the 1,000 - 5,000 lots mark. Of late, the KLCI has seen a
- lot of activity for companies that are contesting for gaming permits in
- China. Most of the recent highs and lows can be attributed to that
- fact, so far there is no indication that any corporation has gained the
- upper hand but that is still not stopping investors from driving up the
- share price of these contesting corporations.
