hi, 1mdb. what do you think about this IPO? any risk of this company after it fail on 2013? please explain more. thanks
alan, I think the risk is there due to the issue in 2013. Some investors may avoid it, including me. Financially, the company seem OK but the profit drop in the recent FPE compared with previous year. Consider also the current situation of stock market, so think carefully before you jump in.
hoted & agreed.
thanks for the tip!
