Why is it a sad world ? seems a bit dramatic to me. ;-)) There are worst things in life than a Chinese mining company (quoted too ) investing a few million at 60p in a company that is currently trading at 29p ;-)) Especially when they invested only a few months ago and supported by Director buying too at even lower levels. .
The way I see it , is that , if management keeps on disappointing , their time will be up and a takeover guaranteed. Wouldn't take too much for the Chinese firm to oust management ( as they are already showing intentions to double their stake) as am sure Sprott, the NY hedge fund , Blackrock and Bar Wealth would be keen to see a return on their investments . As the price is substantially below NAV, the discount is based entirely on negative PI sentiment. Not institutional . So as per usual in small caps you get a higher than justified optimistic or pessimistic swings. Had we been trading at say 60-80p and some one was ramping this stock I'd say , hold on, wait for the good quarters and the forever promises to materialise. But at 29p some bigger player could force there way into this and oust management.. Who knows. I saw Stratex (grades come out today) share price up close to 8%, market cap 24m . Now that is just a few mil less than VGM ! Go figure who is undervalued. Look at the last exploration grades for VGM and compare them to Stratex's. Its a bit farcical that we share a similar valuation . But this is AIM and hence the great 30/40% gains in relative short time can be achieved by spotting these inconsistencies. As they won't last forever but do take their time! Today price action is showing the predicted attempt at resistance ( 1st 29.5 then 2nd 30.5) . Watch if this breaks through as when it does it won't take long to hit 41pish.
Just my view , no advice intended ,
