StubWorld: Melco (200 HK) Needs To Fall

I see the NAV discount at 9% after incorporating the rights and the rights proceeds. Way too tight. Melco's relative strength in the face of the rights may have been short related.

I'm hearing Melco International Development (200 HK)'s 11.9% gain yesterday  - on serious volume - was predicted on a short squeeze, just eight days after the fully-paid rights shares commenced trading. Current shorts outstanding are 51.5mn shares or 3.4% of shares out (flat year-on-year), and ~6% of real-world float.  Borrow rate is ~20%. I currently see Melco with a 2.4% premium (!) to NAV.
