PHANTOM SHARES: The Finance Ghost: MTN — just a bump, or a bigger growth concern?

Despite this recent downturn, the company's shares remain up 21% for the year. However, the operational headwinds in key African markets have left investors cautious regarding the company's near-term growth trajectory.
