The Times of Malta MSE trading report for the week ended January 23 highlighted "a bad week for BOV shareholders". The report noted that BOV shares lost 11.15 per cent of their value over this week.
Now on January 15 all BOV shareholders obtained a 20 per cent bonus allotment on their previous holdings. Nowhere was this fact mentioned in the report. Now I query, is this responsible reporting, noting the existing precarious situation exerted by the present credit crunch?
