Fluctuation in steel price is a small factor for AEH business at this stage. They have already ramp down their business / inventory since last year. 

Their main clients are from OnG/Shipping and Construction. Construction may benefit somewhat from government infrastructure investments to support, now that the economy is going down. OnG and Shipping sector however is in severe downturn now and if history is any guide, such cycle last a few years at least.

So currently AEH may look like good buy with limited downside, however for any substantial upside have to really be prepared to hold for a couple years before the bust cycle in OnG and shipping ends.

1) Try NOT to LOSE money!
2) Do NOT SELL in BEAR, BUY-BUY-BUY! invest in managements/companies that does the same!
3) CASH in hand is KING in BEAR! 
4) In BULL, SELL-SELL-SELL!

Delist on the cheap is always a concern for value investment in small/medium cap.

AEH has been around for ages, going through several busts
I don't think they are interested in delisting.
Also, for steel stockists, being a listed company gives you a credibility edge over your competitors, seeing that it's afterall a commodity type of business. The bigger worry for SHs now, IMHO, is the MTP imposed by SGX.

MTP is a non issue for AEH or shareholders. The liquidity is already so low despite the lot size is 100 shares now, even a 10 to 1 consolidation should be a non issue. 

AEH other option can also be share buy backs. With so low volume its too easy for AEH to bump share price above 20cents anytime, look at the sell queue just a few hundred lots buy back wont do much damage to cash pile either.

Either way there will be no dilution of OPMI interest. 

The only worry and its not really that big, is how long the OnG/shipping sector and local construction sector will take to recover. History tells us it will take at least a few years once the bust cycle starts.

We all know the bust is already priced in for AEH so an investment in this stock is just a matter of waiting for the sectors it operates in to recover.

It seems that there has been some rather significant selling by a substantial shareholder. In two months from March 4, 3016 to May 10, 2016, he sold 3,627,000 shares out of a total 4,312,500 traded, a whopping 84% of all traded shares! At least now I know who I have been buying from Tongue

Weird though that there are only two announcements:

He didn't declare the 3+ million units sold in between?

He's selling at a loss (not considering the dividends)
I rem he was accumulating sometime back, prob a couple of yrs ago. He started accumulating right after I've done buying.

He has quite a bit of history, including being convicted of some securities fraud of some sort in Singapore many many years ago.
If I rem correctly, he's also an advisor now to Dektos, a tiny relatively new hedge fund

Frankly speaking, it is of no concern to me whether an external shareholder (big or small) buys or sells his shares. In fact, I hope he sells more at this level.

Same here, it provides some liquidity to purchase without too large of a bid-ask spread. But just interested to know why the transactions weren't announced? Isn't it compulsory for substantial shareholder above 5% to declare all transactions?
