Tong Herr Resources Berhad’s (Tongher) is back on investor’s radar judged from its substantial surge in weekly trading volume for the last 52 weeks. Referring to the technical chart from i3investor below, to-date trading volume surpassed 900,000 shares 10 times since week starting 27 March 2017. Though this is still relatively mediocre compare to Top 10 active stocks of Bursa but after taking into consideration relatively illiquidity of Tongher shares and majority still hold by major shareholders of the company, this latest phenomena is something unseen for many years.
