RE: Hands up if you sold in a huff this morning?28 Apr 2026 10:47
JHFH - I think we need to take a step back and find some middle ground here. The constant need to police these boards and act as some personal protector for the company/vlad is a bit much. When you spin every price drop as a conspiracy and every dilution as a win, you lose the objectivity and rationality that actually helps other investors and gives your words anyweight. It’s becoming quite clear that you’re likely over-leveraged.
It’s also worth noting that essentially calling people idiots for selling over the last couple of years doesn’t really hold up. Looking at the share price performance in that time, the people who sold actually made the correct financial decision for their portfolios. Yes I expect there may be a time when the investment comes good and that's why I remain invested, particularly at this time, but the last few years haven't been it.
Even the bit about emailing Vlad to thank/congratulate him for the placing is pretty weird. He’s a CEO doing his job, not a personal friend, and part of that job involves making decisions that dilute current holders. Congratulating management for a move that hits your own stake wreaks of stokholm syndrome. We’d all be better off with a bit more balance and a lot less blind faith.
It's weird online as there's a tendency for people to split to extremes, either 'dilution is awful, screw vlad' vs 'this is great for the company in the long run'. Both can be true but people don't like to set up camp in th emiddle. I'm sick of the dilutions, particularly when we're supposed to be on the brink of exciting RNS (as you and others keep suggesting/guessing), but at the same time I can appreciate that a raise to fund the company for the next X months to get us through certain milestones could ultimately be positive. Without knowing exactly what's going on behind the scenes and the results, it's hard to know. Peace from Mumbai x
