Bring on the FTSE7 Oct 2020 15:54
The irony of this Erongo-esque fever dream that 2020 has become for Bushveld shareholders is that we all know that the price will rise once this large volume of shares have been sold / transferred.
This will yet again demonstrate the utter absurdity of AIM and confirm what we all knew, that we are deserving of a much higher value. A value that is determined not as a result of the businesses performance, but simply by the actions of a singular entity deciding to stop selling or running out of shares.
This influence a single external company can have over SP value makes a total mockery of even providing such detailed company financials as we do and LSE providing information such as PE ratios. They are meaningless on a market where value is determined by obscured dealings behind the scenes. It's quite remarkable anyone investing on AIM even refers to them.
Some question why we haven't seen a rise as a result of the IES news. It's actually more tragic than that. InVinity are now catching us up value-wise, whilst having a fraction of our capacity to generate revenue and they wouldn't even exist without us. Personally I am still waiting to see our share price benefit from buying Vanchem but hey ho. (28p when that transaction completed).
We have had to watch our holdings be instantly penalised by any negative market news, lockdowns in countries we don't operate in, without any recovery when they end or any recovery when other shares in our sphere have done so. I am as confident as ever in Bushveld but I am definitely ready to stop seeing people continually gaslit by this dodgy market into thinking this company isn't going places when it so clearly is.
Bring on a FTSE listing and let's see if we are worth just under 4x that Kazakhstani mess that is FAR. I think we all know the answer to that. We should have never fallen this far.
I look forward to positive days ahead for all of us who have stuck with Fortune.
