The losses are because there seems to be a HUGE misconception about investing here.
When things don't go your way: sell.
That is standard procedure.
It is not what shorters or bashers say.
It what common sense and every freaking book about investing says!
Siaf has terrible management, bad and dishonest, track record is horrible for the stock. People around you are warning it's a scam.
Still people keep their eggs in this basket and WISH and HOPE for a change. Don't wish or hope that's not gonig to help. These are bad people running Siaf. It is extremely unlikely they will change their ways and probably can't anymore even if they wanted to. So instead of wishing, hoping and cursing or whatever. Sell some and buy something else. It's that easy. Now you have much better outlook for the stock, decent management and no dilution.
