Another blog by ASSI attractive my interest. Alright, in fact I bought SingPost some time ago; and received an email from my broker on Monday when SingPost's price dropped by 6% after its over-the-weekend profit warning announcement.

eCommerce acquisition: TradeGlobal in Nov 2015 is a flop, merely a year more, mgmt is talking about impairment of that whole acquisition.

Who made that corporate purchase decision? How can it be in this short period of time, two key customers of TradeGlobal one filed for Ch 11, the other went for in-source.
