EDL-Gen readies to pay dividend
Vientiane: The index flatlined yesterday but EDL-Gen shares were the only stock to trade and saw volumes almost double to the previous day. BCEL may have disappointed but sellers are looking towards a much higher price. EDL-Gen was unchanged in its very familiar “sawtooth” daily volumes pattern. Volumes suggest there is demand at a higher price soon, just around the corner.
