"5 bank syndicate"? Is this where the auditor came from? Or Agricultural Bank of China? Or Deutsche Bank where they tried to get loan before. Or D&B? These folks don't lie, but you have no first hand info from them. It's just Solly's ramblings. I'm sure we have soon couple of the largest banks from US involved with siaf, say in January when with no dividend when new stories need to be told to keep folks excited.
In the real world, if you need a loan, just get it. If you need to give dividend to share holders, just give it. If you need honest evaluation, just let the market give it to you.
If you have nothing, you need stories. Lots of stories.
