Samty (187A) Deal Looks Somewhat Vulnerable to Potential Interlopers

<li>It's a highly-levered real estate company. Huge inventory. Decent margins on sale so embedded profit sitting in inventory. Not a very big premium, but an all-time high. </li>
<li>Retail including some large former insiders and passive own the vast bulk of the float here. The former get this done. Or not. </li>

Remain BULLISH Keisei Electric Railway Co (9009 JP)  with low conviction. This is buying on narrative rather than fundamentals but there is no need to not get involved.

Vitasoy Intl Holdings (345 HK)'s share price run up is excessive as Philip Ng andYeo Hiap Seng (YHS SP) over-extend their hand.

Nec Networks (1973 JP) has yet to trade below terms. The premium is small, perhaps reflecting the risk NEC will lower the minimum threshold. But there is still a fight here.
