Thoughts on Yesterday’s HKSE announcements

Tuesday, November 1st, 2011

Yesterday the news broke that Birmingham International Holdings were delaying releasing their end of year accounts until February 2012, and that they were also issuing a profit warning. I thought I’d put together my thoughts on this – I will stress that they are my opinions rather than facts, and they’re the opinions of myself only.
