I don’t advise, certainly not on this share. I have a long history of getting this one wrong, repeatedly! Hence I carry my avatar like a battle scar to remind me of my own mistakes.
I, and this is not advise, will hold. Simply because I am excited by the prospects of the SWP. WITH OR WITHOUT LK. I don’t give 2 hoots about who pulls it off. As long as it happens.
I am less excited about South-America, unless LK demonstrates we need it to beef up cash reserves to have a serious go at the SWP.
But at some point, the M&A story has to stop. We are spreading the little resources we have over too many assets. Also, LK hasn’t demonstrated that the Steeldrum M&A was a a success. It’s soon, yes, but Q1 didn’t give us much hope that the SD acquisition added value to the company and to our mcap. So before he runs after another asset, I would want to see results, or proof that we managed to get value out of SD. Because that is always the goal of an acquisition: to create value. Remains to be seen.
Coming back to your question: it’s not about my advise, it’s about the excitement LK can create around SWP for the next 2-3 years. He should come clean, lay out the facts clearly, and make a compelling investment case for the SWP underpinned with a detailed plan and ditto financials.
Hope this helps?
