Comment: Investors are a finicky group, when this stock was going through the roof and reaching 18 baht per share everyone was loving it, now that it has been revealed that the company is a PoS and couldn’t achieve anything it said (no surprise if you just did a little bit of thinking) investors are apparently doubting IFEC. Love these markets!
