Bahria - HS2 started as a visionary project, an aspiration. It became real when the Govt decided to FUND it and is currently under construction! I have no issue with construction delays - they will always happen. But HS2 is now a reality and a matter of time.
My issue with ORCP is that there is NO funding, or indication of when funding will arrive for these gigantic projects. I have no desire to invest in a share without any kind of sense of when I might expect to make a return on my investment? How can anyone sensibly invest like that? Especially on AIM, that is a likely to end up as a ruinous approach. The proof is ORCP itself, with LTH having to chase this down repeatedly because, guess what, no binding agreements have been secured.
As I said, it will remain this way with ORCP, and will get worse, until or unless binding agreements are reached. I don't expect them to be reached on ANY project in "a couple of months". If they do, then fair enough. But if nothing happens in those "couple of months", then will you just simply move the goalposts again?
Unfortunately, many of you seem too far gone here to me and there is no turning back. There is no "re-evaluation" at all that I can see (only the talk of it). Tomorrow, ORCP could announce that it is going into liquidation, and some on here will still only see positives!
But each to their own as they say. I don't see any value being returned here in the short term (or intermediate term for that matter) and I have given my reasons for that (no binding commitments and only more dilution). Therefore, not an investment for me, but wish you all the very best with it.
