Is that the same Shuaa Capital that was fined and disciplined, by DFSA, for manipulating price of DP World shares?
The same Shuaa that objects to conversion to shares when market moves against them?
Google search suggests they are one and the same!
Good article, thank you for posting NZM!

ask anyone about their black history in the past and they will tell you what they've been doing since the 50's.

I agree with this quote from the NZ Herald article. But then again, being lethargic for an extended period of time also has its own consequences & repurcussions. Hope that doesn't come to pass, here or any where else.
