“HAA” as a reason not to invest is an interesting one.
His career history is highly successful. Looking in the whites of his eyes, you can see the grit and determination. Liking somebody is not the same as backing them. I find him quite likable. Charismatic and with a good sense of humour. You don’t lead an organisation and attract the talent that he has around him without a bit of that.
He definitely under estimated the challenge. And the challenges have been numerous. But the company pulled through. I can fully understand if one invested after a placing, hoping it was the last, only find out it was not that it might be frustrating - but it was your decision, and only you are to blame for your decisions. I appreciate this is hard to comprehend for some. For others, they doubled down, and and have ended up sitting on a paper profit.
You can see the pain on his face through all of the challenges. He’s not a natural presenter - he looks far more relaxed before going on screen, and then again after. To judge a man by how he presents information, rather than taking the information at face value is in my view, a mistake.
Harry has a MBA, ran investments in mining for a large family office. Deputy chair of the Australian gold council and been on the board of various mining outfits. He is no schmuck.
At this juncture, you can only make a decision based on today and going forwards. And I think Harry is a great leader for this company at this time.
For you to dismiss this investment because “HAA” demonstrates in my opinion, a low emotional intelligence.
