Flushed down prices of Wilmar International caught my eye lately; after running a search online, turns out a corruption case has just unfolded with the company in Indonesia and involves minsterial level personnel there. Until things are clearer or officially sorted out, I wouldn't make an entry even as the price looks "attractive". Learning from past experience, reknown listed companies in SG caught up with such negative news are subject to brutal sell-offs as short sellers mount - and such instances can drag for a long time, keeping prices depressed by months or years.
For those familiar with Yang Zi Jiang Shipbuilding's debacle, you probably know what I mean. Cut-loss or start developing a tonne of patience to hold a bag that might cost you opportunity costs elsewhere.
Happy trading, in both good and challenging times. [Cool]
