COSCO management has not diversified its opernations like YZJ.
Perhaps, the directors should change the CEO.

Capitalise on Cosco demise? Will it happens? i doubt? Short it then? Or may be a good buy at 60 Cents or below?
Following today ending trading whenever there is buying support at 82 cents, there is selling at 81.5 cents. i wonder who are behind all these trading?
Cosco blokes have already made their money years ago - it was a darling pre GFC and since then the new team is really there to keep the company going.
Need not try to hard - its a Ching co - how much can you trust them especially when there is minimum trust even between their own people?
