Do you struggle with sarcasm, the trumps are awful people they only care about themselves imo

Tek will continue to own a smaller stake the longer they hold on to them businesses, I agree with you 100% on that

And I don’t expect Tek’s nav to be as high as the last time they reported

but I don’t care it’s not my concern now, im waiting for the next fundraiser before I buy back in

Just take comfort knowing that Donald Trump’s son is on the ipo team, the Trumps are honest and trustworthy we all know that

Tek have 3 non profitable companies and a 4th company thats been slightly delayed (6 months or so) for its Nasdaq ipo, they all need cash to keep the lights on and pay wages, nobody should be expecting special dividends or any other kind of dividend for a while yet imo dyor

Imo the company has made some great changes in the last year, just a little patience required to make good returns now, no need to break a sweat

I only invest in companies i like there’s thousands to choose from, if i get some spare time i can think of lots of things I’d rather do than find businesses i dislike to invest in, then try to change them

It’s why this business hasn’t been able to attract any strategic investors, almost no significant investors at all, just Tek holding the majority and Victor Manzanilla with less than 4%

At least £10-15 million needed to get close to profitability imo and could easily be a lot more, anyway it’s dilution on the way

This might be a buy after the next fundraiser, if they can prove to investors there’s a margin on the sales, so far the financials are a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. And most of the clients are unidentified. Trust isn’t a good reason for investing

Companies that make their products from new plastic will be seeing price rises similar to petrol prices at the pump

Cru make a large majority of their material from waste in house, we shouldn’t be anywhere near as much trouble as those companies this might work in our favour

I expect at some point we’ll see a big delayed sell show up, hopefully a recovery can happen soon afterwards

Bought several times last week and dug deep to get a few more this afternoon, I’ll wait a few weeks now before I buy again. I feel pretty happy with what I have and what I paid

I knew it was a big piece of equipment but for some reason I didn’t think it was that big. It’s very impressive

Never pleased anyone and kisses he hand before going to bed

And tuffax i hope you’re not a dad or a husband because with your negativity I pity anyone close to you i really do

You can’t allow anyone to be happy thats a sad fact about you, and I think it’s because your a failure at everything you’ve ever done

I don’t think I’m anything special when it comes to investing I’ve openly said im just a lucky chancer, can’t really be more honest than that, here’s an example of your ignorance and rudeness

Wizzer I think I found one of those straws you are always grasping for when you ask chatgpt for a response. Now seriously give it a rest you do not know what you are talking about, let me repeat that as you are clearly a bit mentally challenged , you do not know what you are talking about
