Hi Moola, I found this post when I was trying to get some update of Fajarbaru. I used to be an investor of this counter. But the price and volume seems going down recently. I know the last quarter result was no better than preceding year's quarter. I like your style of analysis, would you give some update and your point of view regarding this stock. I am still holding some.
