What a 24 hours!28 Jan 2021 09:52
Wow, I am sure like many I was somewhat taken aback with the RNS late yesterday afternoon, I resisted the temptation to get involved with any views and comments on here and I am glad I did. I did read everything however and it was not pretty.
I spent yesterday evening trying to work out why he would sell so many shares, was it to do with the FSP, did the BOD know, researching all previous RNS's......
I was unclear whether the BOD would actually RNS anything today, clearly we all wanted some clarity and it was right to provide it, but this AIM. I was very happy that they did, a strong RNS, which raises some questions, but demonstrates that the BOD are thinking about their investors. They have acted swiftly and decisively to try and repair the damage and I think we should remember that.
Someone else mentioned in a post yesterday that if a large PI sold up that volume we would be saying well done, good on you. Why should it therefore be any different here, maybe he does need the money for something urgent, he really is no different to many of us, just all on a much larger scale.
I am struggling to believe he is not aware of what is happening though, at least he must be 'more' aware than any of us even if he is not in the inner circle, thats my view, and he sold all at just under 30p to a very large and respected investment business, and Russian at that, now let's be honest, they are not going to be taken for mugs in their own country are they - no way, that was the most exciting thing here for me, massive confidence boost I would say.
Thankfully I sold not 1 share, sadly I didn't buy any either, well done to those that did.
What I can't help wondering however is what would have happened if an RNS had been issued stating "Veles Interenational, the Cypriot based subsidiary of Investment Company Veles Capital LLC, one of the leading investment companies in the Russian Federation has acquired a 1% stake in EUA plc"
That would have been interesting, and is exactly what we have here, yea Alexei has sold some but there could be many reasons for this, personal or forced, but he still holds a significant number of shares and has said officially he is not selling any more.
In until the end.
