Game 1 - Guess the date of the next major RNS:-9 Jun 2022 07:25
Good morning all,
Putin and his personal war have a lot to answer for!
There WAS very little doubt the sale of EUA's assets would happen,
The company has even grown in size, during the time this protracted sale is taking!
Just NO ONE, expected it to take this long.....
We have endured a worldwide COVID pandemic...
And now, Putin has single-handedly turned the Western world against investing in Russia!
We have been assured by the company that the sale is still ongoing and to a BRICS country,
What WE don't know is .... IS this the fallback option, OR was that the plan all along to sell to a BRICS country?
It could well be the case that this is option number 2, option number 1, no longer interested?
We just don't know ...
WHAT we do know is the time this is NOW taking, and the growing number of Western sanctions are harming the way companies operating in Russia can easily continue and are causing such companies strong headwinds to navigate that were simply not there before....
We have been assured the company use NO sanctioned Russian banks, and is in no way sanctioned itself,
But it must be like navigating a minefield for them nowadays, which was simply not the case just six months ago...
We are where we are now, and nothing we can do about it!
Putin said he would not invade Ukraine,
The Ukrainians did not think he would invade them ...
Some relations that were at the time staying with the inlaws on holiday, who worked for the UK government in Ukraine, did not think Putin would invade .... That night they were on the phone with friends they had left back in Ukraine and left the next day utterly horrified by his actions!
In hindsight, selling at 40p, or at 35p, would have been the sensible option, but, we all know that would have been on the cheap, as the company was worth so much more, and was growing by the day!
If I had sold at 40p holding 4,200,000 shares I would have been made for life .... And, some charities would have been better off!
I did not, I wanted to see this sale through to the end!
The ONLY retrospective consolation I have is that -
Phil Taylor with his personal holding of 29.8 million shares
and
Anders_UK with his personal holding of 30 million shares
Also presumably thought that holding on to the stock was a better option than selling at 40p ....
Looking back I feel utterly sick at what I have let slip through my fingers, I'm not well off, just a retired Telecoms engineer!
I blame no one but myself for my stupidity, I don't blame the company or any posters for MY actions!
It was always MY decision, and mine alone, as to when to take profits!
I guess there are many in the same boat as me, thinking what if I had made a different decision!
So we are where we are, and can not change the past!
Now, where is that length of rope ..... Only joking, health overtakes wealth, but that's not too good :-)
Today's hopeful is:- LittleRedRooster - 09/06/22
