Grilse10,
Re your posts under both this, and another header:
"So all you lot whining on about poor board and comms, have no excuse for cluttering up this board"
The concerns being expressed are quite legitimate imo.
The placing to test, almost 8 months ago, was paid for by PIs. The "over subscription" you later mention is not supportive of your wider argument.
The uptake of a placing at this end of the market is not usually based on the strength of the investment case, but rather the depth of the discount, and the ability to offload at pace.
The facilitating broker collaborates with the placees to enable forward selling or leverage via CFD. In our case the discount was colossal and the forward selling self-evident.
Thus, by the time the placed share are admitted to market, the placees have already made a significant return, and the placed shares can be summarily dumped, at or below issue price if necessary.
And who buys those shares? PIs.
We are one the ones who ultimately buy the newly issued stock to fund the managements objectives.
It is our existing holdings that are diluted, the SP we have been buying that gets hit, and the upward momentum it, and we rely on that is quashed.
We buy that stock on the promise of delivery on the ground.
We pore over managements plans, their projected timelines, and the aspirations they offer as justification for the raise.
If management do not then deliver on their promises, then imo, PIs have every right to feel demoralised.
