@skid35 – “if you actually have valuable IP and tech the market needs in this space it really does sell.”

PMason hasn't got a scoobydoo on anything but I am beginning to enjoy his posts for the sheer comedy value....

PMason - Whilst you might have told me before, I have to be honest that I would lose the will to live if I read all the piffle that you post. Your comments about nominal value being totally meaningless are wrong as companies can't raise at a price below nominal value, so it has to have some meaning....

Where do we all see the bottom? Can't be far off now?

Yes, looks like any new raises would be subject to a new GM.

The issue, in my view, is that many investors struggle to properly assess risk versus reward. As a result, they often end up buying at elevated levels and either selling at the bottom or holding on as the price declines.

Directors can certainly influence a company’s trajectory, but they don’t control the share price. Last year, the market drove the price to levels that were difficult to justify, largely on sentiment. At that point, while there was still upside potential, the downside risk had become significant.

At today’s levels, the situation has arguably reversed. There is still downside risk, of course, but the potential reward now looks more compelling relative to that risk.

The difficulty is that some investors seem reluctant to take responsibility for their own decisions. It’s easier to blame the Board, despite having previously contributed to the bullish sentiment and bought at higher prices, only to turn sceptical later. A fair degree of that scepticism should be directed inward.

Ultimately, hindsight will determine whether any individual decision was right or wrong. However, you improve your odds over time by remaining disciplined in how you assess risk and reward. It is often better to walk away from a potential gain if the risk is too high. Over the long run, avoiding high risk setups tends to matter far more than capturing every opportunity.

OSD - I thought you would have been OUT at 4 and back IN again in the 2s......

Maybe Crownos is at the AGM? If so, they might not finish before midnight....

Based on the fact that OSD has just bought back in......

Improve one's sleep? Easy. Read The_Painful_Din's posts. You be asleep in seconds....

Looks like it is Souf Industries today!

Yes, let's hope the next wave of turd polishers arrive soon to brighten up the day....

Mornington - I can't imagine considering investing in any company and going on these boards to read some well balanced, informative posts.....

Indeed but a crock of s h ite that can move sharply both up and down (albeit more often the latter) hence everyone's interest....

250m is a buy....

Agree. 500m looks like a buy. 2.6-2.8 at that time....

Hahahahahahaha

From ChatGPT:

In investing, PI = Professional Investor means someone who is officially recognised as having advanced knowledge, experience, and financial capacity to invest.

What counts as a Professional Investor?

This varies by country, but typically includes:

Investment firms, banks, hedge funds

Large companies or institutions

High-net-worth individuals (meeting certain income/assets thresholds)

Experienced traders who meet specific criteria

Why it matters

Being classified as a Professional Investor (PI) usually gives:

✅ Access to more complex or higher-risk investments

✅ Fewer regulatory protections (you’re expected to know what you’re doing)

✅ Higher leverage or advanced trading features

Example (UK context 🇬🇧)

In the UK, under FCA rules, a “professional client” might:

Work in finance or

Have a large portfolio (often £500k+)

Trade frequently and understand markets

Simple way to think about it

Retail investor → regular person, more protection

Professional investor (PI) → experienced/wealthy, more freedom but more responsibility

PMason - Dear oh dear. PIs include people who certify themselves as HNWIs and/or sophisticated investors. They can take part in broker placings and are the cornerstone of fundraising in small caps such as this....

PMason - Absolute gobbledygook. A PI is a professional investor. Anyway it's by the by. Is this going north or south today? Or couldn't anyone care less as they've all downed tools for Easter?

Norwej2. It's only you guys throwing your dollies out. I only pop in every so often for the entertainment. Stone me down for a suggestion that relies on anything else that hiding behind the keyboards....

Professor Crownos, ElTragico and Tragic-orb get their big boys pants on and buy 5% of the company between them and put themselves forward by requisition. They would get my votes....
