I believe SIAF went public too soon (especially on OTC, but even Merkur) - SIAF has been (and still sort of is) a venture company. I don't think venture companies - especially not eastern one with a different mentality than westerners - is a good match with normal retail shareholders.
This wouldn't have been an issue if Solomon had prioritized some cash dividends over growth (and avoided dilution and some other issues, of which some are his fault and others are not), especially the past year or two. Now the question remains whether the talk about dividends&buybacks are more carrots for the (vast) future, or if it is his true intentions and will take place shortly(ish) after the loan.
