Personally, and again I hope I am wrong, given the constant delays and the amount of information which to-date has been in error, not just time lines, but also presentations etc etc where simple things are incorrectly quoted without any concern, I cannot help feeling that HK brokers are now standing back thinking this is all probably bullshit until actual sales figures are turned into cash received.
That would mean that come the EU launch, although there will surely be a flurry of buying and selling which will spike the SP which will only be driven up by traders buying into the rise and who will soon jump ship, I'm sure the relevance of another profit warning at about the same time will soon cause investors to once again evaporate and depart at an accelerated rate. I'm sure we will not see any sustained SP rise till probably the mid year interims which should show at least some cash has been making its way to the RPG coffers.
This I'm sure will be particularly true considering how many cans have so far been announced as sold in the UK and yes I do understand there has been no marketing, but due to the last 4 years incompetence as mentioned above and the UK sales figures (I'm sure many investors wont care whether there is marketing or not as its all now about the real bottom line figure), brokers will be very apprehensive on recommending the stock since they will I'm sure feel the EU sales will be of similar magnitude. The A team not only has eggs on faces to deal with, but a whole farmyard of s&%t too.
Am I being too cynical or does some of the above ring true? Hopefully this could be a worse case scenario which could be changed if there is positive feed back regarding the HK/Macau approval/launch before xmas which is now only about 12 weeks away.
