Hey TMT,
I am happy to be corrected, as I said, I am not an expert and have done this for first time. However, I am not sure what is there to suggest they have bought them already?
For a moment, lets talk an example of sept - first entry of GGP to the index where we saw a massive rise as they purchased all in one go. Why would they do differently this time?
This also raises the question about the entry of PGM and BGL into the index and their sp reaction over last week. My question therefore is that, why would GDXJ change its strategy to purchase all shares of all companies in small chunks this time around - or was it the case otherwise in sept where GGP was a single shot?
I did not check the details in sept after purchase on Friday, so I cannot comment on how their reporting looked at that time.
I have however had another look at the spreadsheets and closing price on it matches the Friday closing price on its website (1283.05) and the index weight of all companies adds to 100%. So if they have already purchased and made changes to their holding on Friday, why would they not update their spreadsheet for Fridays close?
In my opinion, in sept they had an order to fill on Friday after close which was filled on Monday morning (dont trash me for my opinion - I am saying based on Mondays sp rise at open) but this time around they did not place an order on friday but will probably do it on open on Monday. Remember based on % and its current value, they still have around $40m worth of purchase to make it right (from 0.98% to 1.62%) . Do you think this was done during the week (and why different from sept) or on Friday during the day?
I am only trying to join the dots in my head.. we will know on Monday.
