Reliance Industries rights issue opens:

RIL shares at discount, get at only one-fourth the price


The rights issue, biggest ever to enter the Indian equity markets, will remain open for eligible investors for 14 days and is expected to see positive response despite the troubled times that stock markets have seen in the past couple of months.

(RIL) share price zoomed 2% on the initial hour of trade as the Rs 53,124 crore rights issue of the Mukesh Ambani-led company opened on Wednesday morning. The rights issue, biggest ever to enter the Indian equity markets, will remain open for eligible investors for 14 days and is expected to see positive response despite the troubled times that stock markets have seen in the past couple of months. RIL, India’s most valuable company, is looking to cut its net-debt to zero by the end of this fiscal year and is looking to aid that with the rights issue and the consecutive deals that it has signed with global investors for its telecommunications arm, Jio Platforms. Here’s all you need to know about the rights issue.
Eligibility and Price: To be able to subscribe to the rights issue, you must have had at least 15 shares on the record date which was set as May 14. According to RIL’s Board, the shares will be offered at 1:15 ratio, so having at least 15 shares is what makes you eligible for subscribing to the rights issue. The shares are being offered at Rs 1,257 per share, translating to a 12% discount from the current market price.
Payment structure: Interestingly, investors looking to subscribe to the issue will not be asked to pay the entire amount in one go, which would have been a difficult task at this juncture. RIL has asked investors to pay only 25% at the time of subscription. Of the remaining 75%, investors have been asked to pay 25% in May 2021 and the other 50% in November next year. As a promoter and 50 percent shareholder, Mukesh Ambani will have to pump in 26,600 crores for his portion of the rights issue
How to apply: Investors need to consult their bank if they have the option, you can apply through them. Otherwise, investors can apply through an ASBA (Applications Supported by Blocked Amount). Other options include applying through a courier of the Composite Application Form (CAF) from RTA (Registrar and Transfer Agent) of the company.

My opinion: Investors must go for this for a Horizon of two years at least

STOCK CHART PATTERNS

  Stock chart patterns   are simply a visual representation of the prices buyers and sellers bought and sold at in the past. There is no magic in a chart pattern they just show you what happened in the past and what has a higher probability of happening in the future. The best use of chart patterns is to take a wider view of the trend on your time frame of choice and follow the path of least resistance.  A chart pattern can show that a stock is in a range with defined resistance and support. A chart could also show an uptrend of higher highs and higher lows or a downtrend of lower highs and lower lows. Stock chart patterns signal whether a stock is under accumulation or distribution or just trading in a defined price range.  The most popular use of stock chart patterns is for breakout trading signals as the probability increases of a move in a specific direction after a price breakout of a previous support or resistance. They are basically momentum indicators. The va...

FLOAT IN STOCK MARKET

  Float in a stock is the number of shares of a company that is currently trading publicly on the exchange and is available for traders and investors to buy and sell. The stock float is calculated by taking a company’s total issue of outstanding shares and subtracting any restricted stock. Pre IPO investors, employees and founders can’t sell their restricted shares because they can be in a lock-up period for a time following the IPO usually between 90-180 days. Executives and insiders many times can also be restricted from selling shares around earnings announcement dates.  This occurs when an insider could have knowledge of information not public yet where the sale of shares could be considered insider trading in a legal sense. A company’s float is an important metric to show the liquidity of shares for a company. It can show the supply of shares on the open market and give a clearer view of supply and demand. Share float is the shares traded on the stock exchanges and price ...

What is Smart Money Concept (SMC) in Forex & Gold Trading?

What is Smart Money Concept (SMC) in Forex & Gold Trading? Educational only. Not financial advice. Smart Money Concepts (SMC) explain how institutional order flow drives price. Instead of chasing indicators, SMC focuses on market structure, liquidity, order blocks, and imbalances to find high-probability zones—especially effective on volatile pairs like XAUUSD (Gold) . Why Retail Traders Get Trapped Obvious highs/lows gather stop orders (liquidity). Price often sweeps these levels, triggers stops, then reverses. Institutions use these sweeps to fill large positions . Core SMC Building Blocks 1) Liquidity – Pools of stop losses resting above swing highs or below swing lows. 2) Order Blocks (OB) – The last opposing candle before an impulsive move. A bullish OB is the last down candle before a rally; a bearish OB is the last up candle before a selloff. 3) Imbalance / Fair Value Gap – A fast move that leaves thin trading between candles. Price often revisit...
