Insider Trading - SEBI proposes consultative paper
In order to curtail incidents of insider trading, capital market regulator SEBI on Tuesday floated a consultative paper, whereby insiders would not be able to buy and sell the company's securities within a period of six months. Insiders would have to surrender any profit made by buying and selling company securities in six months, according to SEBI's proposed regulations on Short Swing Profit.
The proposed regulation is based on a similar rule in the US, which requires 10% owners, directors and officers of a company to give up any profit realised from any purchase and sale, or any sale and purchase, of any equity security of the company within a six-month period.
According to SEBI, the regulation would help prevent company insiders, who have greater access to price sensitive company information, from taking advantage of information for the purpose of making short-term profits, called as short swing profit. Additionally, it would align the long term objectives of company insiders with the company shareholders.
SEBI has proposed the “Last In First Out” (LIFO) method for determining the six month period between buy and sell trades by company insiders.
The short swing rule would automatically get invoked once two things are established. First is the fact of being an insider or a designated insider. And second, the fact that the same securities were bought and sold within six months of each other.
The intent of the person would be immaterial. Merely the fact of the trade will be sufficient to take action. Where there is a delay, interest may be payable by such insider to the company.
SEBI has proposed certain exemptions, such as transactions approved by a regulatory authority, employee benefit plans, bona fide gifts and inheritances, mergers and acquisitions etc. Certain securities may also be considered as exempt altogether.
The regulator invited comments from the public on the consultative paper particularly with regard to coverage of persons in the definition of designated insider, method of calculating the dates of purchase and sale and classes of exemptions.

STRATEGY INPUTS FOR THE DAY
Encouragement for bulls, but bear in mind profit booking
There are high spots in all of our lives and most of them have come about through encouragement from someone else.
Things are looking encouraging for the bulls as the results so far have been fairly good though the IT companies' earnings have lacked the usual spark. That may well have something to do with the rupee's remarkable appreciation against the dollar. Still, the numbers from software firms are not bad by any means. The outlook also appears to be strong despite currency fluctuations and the US slowdown. Talking about IT results, HCL Tech has surprised the market with much improved show in the third quarter. The stock may see some action on the up side.
Meanwhile, the rupee closed at 41.97 to the dollar yesterday after touching an intra-day high of 41.62. It may gain some more ground before the central bank steps in to check the rally. Some experts feel the Indian currency will eventually slide to 43 in the medium term. Right now though, exporters are feeling the heat while importers are rejoicing.
On to the markets now. We expect a higher opening, buoyed by the gains in the US blue chips overnight and firm trend in the Asian markets. But, as the bulls found out to their dismay, there could be selling pressure at higher levels. Apart from the barrage of corporate results, the market is awaiting the outcome of the RBI's policy meeting on April 24 as well as the weekly inflation data.
The IPO of Bhagwati Banquets & Hotels Ltd. opens today. Hilton Metal Forgings is entering capital market with an IPO of 54.5 lakh equity shares of Rs 10 each at a price Rs 70 per equity share. The IPO of Fortis Healthcare has been subscribed by just 0.7 times. The issue closed on April 20.
Shares of Dish TV, the DTH arm of Zee Entertainment will get listed on the bourses today. Watch out for TV Today as well as Reliance Capital has made an open offer for an additional 20% in the company at Rs30 per share. TV Today closed at Rs140 yesterday. Pritish Nandy too may attract some attention amid reports that it is looking to offload a part of its stake to PE funds.
There is a buzz in the market that Idea Cellular may be targeting BPL Mobile, which operates in the lucrative Mumbai circle. Pioneer Embroideries may get a large order from retail giant Wal-Mart, according to market grapevine. Tata Steel will also be in focus after announcing the funding mix for the acquisition of Corus. CESC is another stock to keep an eye on as it has declared a share swap ratio for the merger with Spencer's Retail parent.
Alfa Laval is expected to be in the limelight amid news that its Swedish parent could hike the open offer price, though Alfa Laval AB has denied such a move. Praj Industries will announce a bonus issue and results today.
FIIs were net buyers of Rs3.05bn (provisional) in the cash segment yesterday while the domestic institutional investors (including Mutual Funds) offloaded stocks worth Rs3.1bn, according to the NSE. The data is provisional in nature and is subject to changes. In the F&O space, FIIs pumped in Rs6.56bn yesterday. As per SEBI data, FIIs were net buyers of Rs7.88bn on Monday. Mutual Funds poured in Rs2.05bn on the same day.
US stocks closed mixed on Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average almost made a new record, spurred by better-than-expected economic and earnings reports. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index closed at the highest level since September 2000.
The Dow gained 52.58, or 0.4%, to 12,773.04. The blue chip benchmark rose as high as 12,790.02, above its all- time closing high of 12,786.64 on Feb. 20. Yesterday, the Dow erased losses spurred by the Feb. 27 sell-off in global equities, one day after the S&P 500 did the same.
The S&P 500 climbed 3.01, or 0.2%, to 1471.48, bringing its advance this month to 3.6%. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 1.38, or 0.1%, to 2516.95.
Treasury prices rose, lowering the corresponding yields. The dollar fell versus the euro, yen and sterling - which hit a 15-year record versus the greenback. Oil prices slipped.
European shares held steady. The pan-European Dow Jones Stoxx 600 index finished a fraction of a percentage point higher at 387.86.
The UK's FTSE 100 was down 0.3% at 6,497.80 as the pound rose by over $2 for the first time in 15 years against the greenback after stronger-than-expected inflation data, potentially forcing the Bank of England's hand on interest rates.
The German DAX Xetra 30 rose 0.2% to 7,348.83, while the French CAC-40 lost 0.1% to 5,858.14.
