As y'all know I've been pretty pessimistic about CMET for a while - that wasn't always the case, but too many things have gone wrong over the years not all CMET's fault but here we are.
I'd been gradually selling over the last year or so down to 5p and thought about the RNS last night and decided to get the remainder of my money out today - not because I don't think they can't turn this around, but I think it may take them too long.
They're about to spend a lot of money exploring, they want to hire an experienced team to develop the resource, and they want to look at financing it - fact is SL is a high jurisdictional risk so that financing will not come cheap.
There are better opportunities out there - and frankly it was that opportunity cost that spurred my decision this morning to liquidate my position.
Been here many years, as some of you know, and was very bullish about the potential here but too many knocks, I've lost faith in the management and that £2.5m cash at bank is about to be rapidly depleted.
The other issue at the back of my mind, and it's a growing trend, is that in my opinion there's a decent likelihood that this will be taken private again. The costs of maintaining the listing on what is quite a dodgy AIM exchange is very high - a further cost to eat away at their cash reserves. So wouldn't be surprised to see CMET delist by the end of the year.
I've no doubt the shares will rally, now I'm out. And I wish those of you sticking with this the best of luck.
