They are onto a good thing with not just Rezorce, but Shincell too. I will not wait to buy some more, as I consider there is a very good chance the SP will be considerably higher in 6 months. Rezorce is hard priced in at all.
You are not correct. I don't want a lower price per se. I'll take any price POST -funding!
I see you invest in WSG which must make you a very optimistic investor! I was an investor in that company for a number of years. It was full of empty promises and so I am amazed anyone is still investing in it. AIM is full of tripe. APTA is quite possibly just another basket case. It is ABSOLUTELY HIGH RISK.
To be 100% clear. We are NOT looking to raise funding. It's too soon to know if things will line up or not. We do NOT want any unnecessary dilution. As you will aware, having a shored up balance sheet in case of cash delays is safer and less controversial at a higher SP."
Fine, but I've seen that before and then a 'prudent' raise, and following that the company went bust! Saietta....
To me, the above statement is entirely consistent with a raise if the speculators propel the share p;rice higher, so I won't be back in quite yet. July is not far away and any raise would be sooner than that, if the money is required. So, I expect the SP here will be volatile for a while which reflects the underlying existential risk unless and until income related news is forthcoming. That's just me being sensible, so DYOR!

Looks good but still slightly wary because I have heard that line before - manufacturing process changes are rarely so cheap and simple to implement ..
Quite rigjt!
Tax on beer and ciggies is fundamentally designed to raise revenue not kill sales which lead to decreased rax revenues. If that's what the Government did want (to limit use) they would ban it altogether. We know the NHS is keen on vaping as it is less costly than health problems with traditional combustible tabacco products
I've had my seat belt on for the past 3 weeks, but it has has not helped my investment in this car crash of a company.
Funding is not the problem per se. It is funding for the type of rapid scale up that they would wish for that is the problem. The company is reaching for big targets when it could have set more modest goals - and if it does not getting the right backing those more limited goals are what it will be left with.
It will get funding for scale up - there are long term investors who want to see it. But the price of that expansion is horrific and the damage most acute for existing private investors.
Not great. Thank you for asking. It's amateurish to load up too much / become overexposed on smallcaps- and not taking the pain by selling when it seems right to sell. Think I will keep well away from companies needing factories/ capital intensive investments. Or the stock market.
