My motive is straightforward and it is to make money, and not have money tied up in a share that is going to be pegged at 4p to 6p because it keeps raising at 5p. The raising is of course necessary, but the direct consequence of this for retail investors is that they won't make any money by holding this until or unless the handbrakes come off from either some newsflow that isn't already baked into the share price, or concluding the last of the raises at 5p. Both are unlikely at present.
No AIM share that forward announces a placing, or where the market gets wind of a raise coming, goes up before that raise is concluded. The fact that the raise is with retail or institutions, or both, doesn't matter. It's the fact that in the coming months, there is likely to be a RNS announcing a fund raise (in this case with the SI) at 5p, which is what matters.
Having money tied up here represents a big opportunity cost imho. There are lots of AIM shares that are making moves at the moment, but Bres isn't one of them. I don't think it's going to be one of them until it gets the last of its 5p raises concluded. All imo and dyor
