i was quite shock, when u know ur company under attack u still, esp attack on fundamentals, no point trying to fight the traders, u need to long term investors support..

btw abstract form bloomberg.

“We’ve been told several hedge funds had gone and talked to our key investors about why they feel uncomfortable about the company,” Verghese said yesterday on the conference call. Block “is not acting alone” and the company believes he visited Olam’s Singapore office on Nov. 1 in disguise, Verghese said. “We had to extract his credentials after much frustration. He gave us a false name.”

This is so funny, alot of HF are already on short their stocks, and nobody knows a **** in the company LOL. Until Muddy came out with the report, which by then the HF already made money.

Good luck all those who still hold the shares !

There is nothing with short-selling. However it is wrong to
1) naked short-sell,
2) spread rumors to drive price down in order to profit from an existing short position.

Muddy-Waters is guilty of point no. 2. That is their modus operandi. He thinks he is a saviour of capitalism. If he is so genuine, he should short US Govt, and try to point out that they are even more leveraged than Olam.

well its a known fact, if they point out the bad about US Gov, treasuries will drop and interest rate will go up.

What happens next ? QE4 QE5 ... to 15 ? Keep interest at 0-25 basis point still 2018 ?

The pen is mightier than the sword, as always. Hehe.

I thought it's illegal to do report coverage on stocks that you have dealing in.

Should I sell? Sigh.. BIG LOSSES!

One way is to dump and buyback again when it is lower. But of course that is if you expect the price to drop lower. This is called a technical short.

My remiser say if break 1.50, lowest might be 146. However, if it still continues to drop then must faster cut. Other wise, its a must buy for olam cos the price already quite low. Buy and keep sure up.

Made a loss of $1000. Entered while its dropping but seems like it nv stop dropping. Haha.. Cut my losses halfway a few days ago. Waiting for my chance to buy back in and cover back my losses. :D

Planning to enter below 1.5 cos I think can go 1.6-1.7 if olam is able to prove that MW's report is not accurate and MW is only reporting OLAM as strong sell due to MW's shorting.

Pray hard this is the outcome. :) I'm contented with 1.6 though. :)
