George Frangeskides, Chairman at ALBA, explains why the Pilbara Lithium option ‘was too good to miss’. Watch the video here.
Why do people invest in this sort of company. You can get 1000s opportunities with better chance of success... I guess its just their laziness... This share is nothing but hold of old investors and there is not logical case for new money going in except for speculations.... One can still make some money on it from where we are but thats just gambling... In my view ppl should spend more time finding new opportunities across UK and USA markets.... And invest in something based on some logical reasoning and some degree of past record to gain in long term...
Bought back 5000 shares just couple of days ago and one fine morning this RNS landed... It seems overnight big news is only way I can make big gains nowadays.. I seem to have lost patience... Can't even hold shares for 1 or 2 week once they start move.... Need to refresh my mind and rebuild habit of being little patient once again.... There could be some other bid from PE who could be interested in dismantling MCRO however chances are low considering debt....good luck all who made some money with this roller coaster...
Are you somehow related to Harry or his PR firm? There is no doubt he is an idiot and greedy person. He doesn't know what he can deliver and what he can't. Have you forgotten how he tried to set up his bonus last year. I have no boubt Company would persorm better without hin
Not a sensible thing to gamble one's hard earned money in AIM casino. Its full of cess pits and white collar criminals. Risk / reward and odd of success is much better using leveraged trades in main market
MCRO started looking a safer investment with so much see saw movement is stock market... Looks like we are in for a long uncertain time for stock market where perhaps no one really k ows what is going to happen in future.. MCRO seems stable business should do relative well in uncertain times as business is proven and generates cash and dividend rather than burning cash.... GLAH
At holding it with £3 average.. Ability to pay dividend means it is likely to be bottom.... I am expecting revenue to stabilise from next quarter and perhaps start increasing from next year based on AWS deal... I am as comfortable as I can be holding it...lets see how long I can hold it.. Must have bought and sold it atleast 15 times in in last 2 yrs... Still remember £3k dividend.. Thays the highest div I have ever earned??
As decided to sell my other holding to buy this... It seems US tech market is once again raising its head... I should have listened to my heart and stuck to us market... Tech shares listed there give much better returns... Don't want to be harsh but to me it looks very stupid to invest I. UK listed tech shares... There is not real life/potential.... I know some may not agree with me in it... Its bit like someone on Lse board suggested me it's not a very good idea to buy shares when u can deal in CfDs... At first I found it useless suggestion.. But over the year after some exposure and much discipline I now feel gentleman gave me good advice. For last 4-5 yrs I am dealing only in CfDs and I see no point in buying real shares just in hope of 3-4% dividend... Similar for last 1 Yr I m trading in US market and I have reached to a point where I just see pointless investing in London listed shares...
Averaging 308p now... I wasn't expecting it to drop unde 300p....there seems to be a very large seller as SP keeps dropping sharply agter gradual recovery...... Still looks decent I vestments to me from this point considering its a share without any hot money... Reduction in debt was a positive and I expect revenue drop to stop going forward mainly bcoz every good or bad things come to an end after a time... Also AWS deal should add something tangible to revenue... As long as we can service debt and pay divided tit should hold 300p....GLAJ
Some as I couldn't resist temptation...
I am not sure why so many of us get stuck with shares like MCRO when we can easily have access to US market.. Perhaps lack of exposure... About a year ago I expanded my vysion and started looking at US market.. Its full of quality stocks I am quite pleased I did so....i keep thinking why should someone invest in MCRO when you can invest in UBER, Snowflakes or Lyft.... My money looks much safer with UBER with potential to grow...
You lol one of many innocent PIs... You can't even figure out that SP was worked up to benefit new investors.. A major portion of new placing shares would have already been sold to innocent PIs... Thats how market works...
They work is a high growth high profit margin industry yet revenue keeps declining...... Something is seriously wrong with MCRO.... They need to sack senior management and bring in a new team.... Or we need some activist investor on board who can unlock value.... No wonder why PEs are so successful in their return... Its becoz of such senior managements who are in majority across industry with uni degree but no grip on business... No wonder start ups r so successful as they complete against these **** business graduates without much clue of business...
Are you for real? What options they had if not shares....raisijg money is difficult for them and this way they can ensure they are paid..... They will shift shares to someone like you and get the cash..... Sometimes I feel for nativityof people...
Today is the time to pay my sincere tribute to a wise fella once more who told me that selling a share in profit is never a bad decission no matter how small the profit is.... And one can always buy a share cheaper than current price..... Good fella and his advise has helped me great deal to avoid losses in MCRO... GLAH
On my meagre holding of 3k shares... Really lost patience with constant drop in sale in a market where everyone else is growing... Something doesn't look right with MCRO or I am little impatient..
I wasn't expecting it at all but MCRO has been a leaky ship all along in many years... I was thinking this seesaw SP movement was due to anticipate update but I guess it was due to this news... We should also know in next few days about results without actually seeing update from company by observing SP movement around mid Nov... We only heard insider trading is illigal but it seems it happens almost always..
You may have your point of view... But no body most of people belive there is lots of value in MCRO... Its just that no one knows how and when it will be unlocked... The share count is still very low for the profit they are turning out.... If MCRO start selling it part I am sure they would realise 10 times if current market cap.... Debt could be an hindrance for takeover..not that it can't be service by MCRO but its mainly about if buyer can afford it.... I am quite sure breaks will be off at some time and SP will make a move forward... All exceptional costs have already been incurred (IP penalty, system integration etc).... It all must leave MCRO to pay more dividends in coming time.. I am not sure they are really keen to pay down debt as it provides a cushion against hostile takeover attempt... They would just keep few millions below current level so that it is manageable.... GLAH
In my opinion considering the level of dividend they pay... I think SP will respond positively if dividend is increased from current level.. Otherwise why would any one sensible put capital at risk to get 10-12p dividend... Level of debt is high and revenue decline is yet to stop... Sensible investors only invest based in real indicators not on speculation...
I decided to dip my toe with recent drop after a long time......holding is not as large as it had been on previous occassions...just looking for some quick £2-3k......i have lost faith in long term investing as in long term we all will be dead.....GLAH
Are you one of HAA's many avatars? Nothing has happened here for sure in last 4 years. We hear same sort of progress (infrastructure, road, power, assembly of lenders etc). In every RNS. I am afraid people are bound to lose their shirt eventually. Either Haa is a crooked or incompetent or situation at ground is really difficult. Whatever is the real reason for no progress in these years end result is there will be no working mine in near future and it would be disaster for shareholders. There had been many rinse and repeat cycles and I have no fount it will happen once more.
