RE: US Tariffs17 Dec 2018 13:30
Baht, it is very unlikely that Asiamets "outperformance", haha, has anything to do with Trump - or tariffs on US and chinese consumer goods!
Back in Nov and Dec 2017 this share already had difficulties to hold a normal day 12, 11 or 10p level, and simply kept dropping down to 8p.
- While Berenberg has been called in (and released a 18p price target) and helped one last rally to 14p,
- while company directors were talking about getting all ducks nicely in line, during WW challenging times,
- while grinning Stephen Hughes suddenly left the operation this year spring,
the share price has spoken the truth.
In my opinion it is company directors who are responsible for a vast number of mistakes:
- for instance by focussing too much on explore instead of solving some of the former projects,
- to underestimate the contracting copper market (which was already talk of the town back in 2017),
- not to inform investors about possible protests surrounding the newly aquired Beutong license(US$ 4mil)
- not to inform us at 10p that some more cash will be needed
- starting a desperate share issue AFTER this collapsed 60% from 10p down to 4p.
Many many management mistakes, that they are now paying for.
