Anyone who is investing exclusively in one stock, including CINE is indeed gambling. Hedge and diversify your portfolio. The challenge many investors have is ignoring the noise from a number of day traders who all want to see 10-20% rises within a matter of days. They then disappear, leaving long term investors confused as to why they were either ramping or de-ramping dependent on their day trade strategy. They will only surface on this BB when news-stream suggest either a slide or a pump, once done, they will disappear.
I had imagined that by the end of Q1 this year, investors would be closer to 100p than 34p, but no one could foresee the Russia Ukraine conflict. Q1 has been slow, as others have stated, the content just hasn't been there to attract large numbers. Uncharted and The Batman (which was 15 in the UK, but fortunately PG-13 in the US) has done well but we need to enter Q2 to lead towards summer when the box office picks-up.
For me, I'm content sitting on 100,000 shares at what I perceive to be a good average - will there be some fluctuation along the way, of course but I will sit tight until Mooky and the BoD get their bonus when the SP reaches 190p!
psvrichard, you say your concern is owning a worthless company - I would suggest you ignore the manipulators like giantsquib who come on and spout about Net Asset Value (NAV). CINE is all about Profit to Earnings (P/E) and others have correctly pointed out that PRE-COVD, the Net Debt position (Pre-IFRS 15) was $3.4BN - it has now increased to $4.5BN (Pre-IFRS 16) so the expectation to be nil Net Debt was never an objective or target.
