Molten Ventures Share Price (GROW)

I worry about grow being taken private. they have been private before and if being retail does not help fundraising whats the point?

are we all investing at the cusp of ww3?

i worry the wars could spiral out of control. netanyahu has a vested interest in dragging us all in to their mess and biden in particular just a mug or puppet in the process. if bidens red lines came with real consequences we would not be where we ate but talk is cheap.

Meant to say I think the chance of delisting has increased because a number of AIM companies have done so recently and I think this will feed into FTSE small cap stocks.

I think this will delist at some point. There is no way the UK market is going to be able to discover the value here.

For this reason I am not going to buy more but I will hold what I have.

In a Buffett sense of not buying something unless you are happy to hold it even if the exchange shuts down for a few years.

MV have a ton of employee and management options due to vest in July and the price would have to go up by about 5 for them to be viable.

I guess if they go private they can distribute stock to staff without needing to suffer further SP beating.

Market gains, and in particular tech led ones in America have had a spectacular 6 months that began in October and lasted right up to the end of March. All that is happening IMO is a correction which, coupled with the FED dismissing prospects of an early interest rate cut, geo-political problems in Middle East and the callous behaviour of the Republican Party in USA in the procrastination of support for Ukraine has seen a sharp drop as investors bank profits.

This is, although painful in the short term, to be welcomed (again, my opinion) because as markets hit new highs, so it iw worrysome and encouraging in equal measure. Growth was confined to a few companies but is now beginning to broaden and, in time will extend to the smaller and smallest companies.

'fraid it is a situation where keeping a cool head is needed, doing nothing and sweating things out, sensible and for those fortunate to have spare funds on the side being able to cherry pick new investments or strengthen existing holdings if appropriate.

In times such as this, I compare an acorn with an oak tree and remind myself that the acorn has greater potential than a mature tree. For myself, from being up 12% at the end of march, I am up just 3% today and although currently sitting on 1.5% cash not sure that the turbulence is over quite yet.
