A new beginning12 Oct 2017 05:22
I'm sure we will have a profitable company with huge growth potential, but the one thing that concerns me at the moment is share consolidation.
I've never invested in companies that are going for RTO's before, and around six months ago both SMA and another company I hold shares in decided to have a change of direction.
Gold prospecting to on-line ladies clothing, and the prospects look very good, but for every 100,000 shares you owned, you now have 40.
I'll not recoup my investment there for decades, if I live long enough.
Admittedly, there were billions of shares in circulation that have now been reduced to around 65 million, and I'm not expecting that sort of reduction here, but it does leave a doubt in my mind that our RTO may not be too favourable to long term holders like myself.
Looking at the last couple of days trading before our shares were suspended, there were many trades in the millions, which leads me to think a consolidation is on the cards.
Maybe I'm being too pessimistic, possibly I am, but I would hope our RTO is much more favourable than seeing 100,000 shares reduced to 40!
We live and learn, but it's a real doubt at the moment.
