<li>Over the last few days, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/shinko-electric-industries" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:15066:1" rel="noopener">Shinko Electric Industries (6967 JP)</a> shares have dipped lower than the previous standard trading range. </li>
<li>I expect this weakness is related to investors in other deals deciding to sell this deal too. I <em>believe</em> it is not related to Shinko specifically.</li>
<li>For that, while gap risk remains somewhat high, I still see break risk as low and see this as a great opportunity to buy the dip.</li>
