DM,
Thank you., you are right, I see the glass is half full here.
Covid happenened and it hit the world not just DISH, or the UK or Liverpool.
Pandemic was/ is real and DISH business owners are Entrepeneurs first and foremost (recent IPO - hello!) have had to “think on their feet rapidly” - this is excellent for holders - Kudos to them! As many companies simply folded in panic and rental landlord overheads - we don’t have Landlord overheads. But some restaurants may have folded.
Rather than shut shop - DISH have “ACTED” and taken “big business decisions” to survive covid-19 for the past 1 year and come out far better if all their ducks line up in 2021.
The “Risks are there for everyone”, even this LSE board can breakdown, HL system brokedown recently, countries can shutdown, theatres can shutdown, cafes can go down, oil co’s can see their revenue become minus, UK Govt could fail the people, brexit - No deal can happen, Bus and Trains Co’s can go down, Aerlines can go bust, crossing the road you can get killed and so forth) So yes - risks are everywhere. You trade what you can afford to lose always. You do not need JSMITH drivel.
DISH are active, have been active and utilised the downtime time to look into “NEW OPPORTUNITIES”, reduced labour costs by half, cheaper more experienced labour in India and looked at how other businesses have been successful in recent times and intend to repeat the a successful Venture Build Diversified business model as it works.
If they pull it off - EACH Equity % stake i.e. “sweat for equity” COULD BE WORTH 10X what they receieved as they are developing an App/ system which can be easily configured in the back-end by DISH developers, personalised for each tech business they may enter business discussions with. The leads can come through the Investor own contact and new IPO’s or private co’s that may be the next big thing. Such information is always well gaurded until DISH/ companies disclose the deal is done. Why? > There are competitors who will be looking to poach the same companies.
Receiving 500k “sweat for equity” can easily materialise into 5-10x premium over time £5m. Imagine if DISH have 5-10 tech business agreements in place, THIS WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT - DISH would eventually cash-in the SHARES OF EACH COMPANY at the premium (i.e Sell the EQstakes into premium profit and become fully sustainable without need or reliance to rely on further dilution or cash from initial ).
That is what the large investor, DISH Management, myself and others are buying into - currenly company is £4m
It could potentially be 10 times this if their strategy fruitions. The additional cash from equity sales can be distributed by dividends (i think that waht the large investor will be seeking - which is good for small PI’s) or “reinvested into new exciting projects”.
I’m relaxed and happy to hold / or add as we rise up
- if the company is bought out - that is still worth 4-6p imho.
FTH
