Royal Garden fails to attract attention
Article Abstract:
Royal Garden Resort CEO William Heinecke is blaming herd mentality for the continued languid performance of the Bangkok, Thailand-based hotel's stock. Heinecke, who is also the controlling investor in Royal Garden, argues that much of the attention has been focused on the bidding war for the control of Radajamri Hotel. Heinecke adds that the lack of investors looking into Royal Garden has resulted in its becoming grossly undervalued.
