Beware the intertia9 Feb 2021 09:49
I looked at this back end of last year and after sifting through the accounts couldn't decide whether this was a scam or just a misadvised venture. That is until I saw that it had been floated by Better Capital. I am allergic to PE a the best of times never mind companies floated by them. I left a few postings summarising my views (yeah yeah I know nobody loves a smart arse) and went away.
However, I didn't expect things to unravel as quickly at they have.
Any word of advice to anybody who will listen. Having followed the share prices of companies so obviously doomed as Wirecard, Intu, NMC, Nikola, Thomas Cook, Intu and now GameStop (now the activists have moved on) I am amazed that people hang on hoping for something to turn up. And it always does - it's called delisting! I.e. you lose all your money.
And I've been there too! A couple of Chinese clothing companies listed on AIM whose valuation looked too good to be true. After sparing with others on this and other Boards I came to realise these were scams. I sold both immediately crystallised £30k loss and look back on this episode as one of the most formative experiences of my investing life.
Now I'm now saying Manolete is a scam but I would urge any investor to be honest with themselves and ask, is my staying put a result of a fair assessment of the company's underlying value or just simple hopeless inertia?
GLA!
