I believe Tenaga share may start to slide down further from its current price of RM 13.84. So it may be the ideal time now to sell the share to make some profits if you have purchased it earlier when the price was well below RM 12.00. But when the price starts to pick up in the future and when the price is around RM 12.00, you may buy it back and wait for further action until the price has escalated to RM 16.0 to RM 18.00. I wonder if this is an idle speculation? A.David
