Yeah, sold out *completely * in the 30's having top sliced in 40s.
$50m of 'revenue' for what, given Aldebaron does not appear to be what the RNS implies it is? The first year revenue is given back to them in shares, more or less... Unusual to give your 'customers' a share in the business equivalent to revenue, don't you think?
nomura, you really flatter me by suggesting little old me can have any influence over the SP at all :).
I bought soon after IPO, and was then absent for the markets until January of this year. I'd forgotten all about my DEV shares and remembered about them when I lagged back into my share dealing account. Happily rode the wave. Then I started actually looking at the business again, and couldn't really understand where the value was or what the business was trying to achieve. I confess I don't understand the VR ed tech careers thing at all. So when it looked like it had topped out I sold a few, and sold the rest as we dropped through the 30's. Quite happy to crystallise the profit. I toyed with the idea of buying back in if it got to 25p-ish, based purely on sentiment and it obviously being a popular stock but I was busy with other things at that point and missed the boat. So yes I was disappointed I'd missed the opportunity to buy at 25 and sell for another profit later, but then I scrutinised the Aldebaron thing rather than do what many do and listen to the rampers. Someone said "Aldebaron woudn't spend $50m if they weren't confident". So I wondered, who *are* Aldebaron, as I've never heard of them and isn't that a bit strange if they are what they are said to be?
And I didn't like the deal terms where the first year "revenue" is recouped in shares, and depedant upon share price significant chunk or all of the future revenue is given back in shares. What product or service is being provided? What recourse does DEV have if the revenue doesn't come as promised?
So I quickly was no longer disappointed as I now truly don't understand WTF this company does, and specifically what this deal does for DEV shareholders.
I have no agenda for a re-entry because I have no intention of re-entering unless something fundamentally changes and we see some actual progress, some actual revenue and some actual real world results.
But I'm as entitled to espouse my views as the rampers. You don't like that, tough.
Best of luck with your investment.
