Matty56, you are absolutely correct when you say
“ the PIs holding stakes today are not, or not significantly, increasing their holdings, despite believing we are "undervalued"
I for one have not topped up as it doesn’t make sense for me to do so.
The reason is that many LTH’s bought this share at under 3p and hold many millions. Me personally, even though I know the price is still cheap as chips, I can’t make the sorts of returns on any new purchases, that my existing purchases would.
Even at 16p, let’s say I invested another £100k into GGP and over the next 2 years the SP rises to 80p (5 Bags). That would mean my new investment would be worth £500k.
That pales into insignificance compared to what my original holding would of made by doing absolutely nothing.
I’ve not told anyone apart from a close friend how many shares I hold, but I’ll let you know I invested £300k of my hard earned into GGP in the 12 months after the date of the announcement that NCM entered into the JV.
I still think now the same as I did at 7am on the day of that announcement that NCM, Australia’s largest gold miner isn’t entering into this on a wing & a prayer, so I followed suit.
And that is I believe why most LTH’s haven’t thrown more money at this, even though we all think it is still way undervalued. We can never make the same returns as the ones we see on our original purchases.
A holder with say a 5M share holding would see a rise of £50k in their portfolio for each penny this share rises. So if this does go to 80p as I said earlier that would be a gain of £3.2M. So that is why I say that most LTH’s don’t see the point of investing more at this.
It doesn’t mean that we don’t support the company, far from it, It comes down to risk & reward, something we all have in common.
Hopefully that makes sense as I’ve been as honest as I can, regarding how I see how LTH’s now look at this.
If I wasn’t as lucky as I have been, and missed the opportunity when this first kicked off in January 2020, then of course I would be loading up at these discounted prices along with many of you, but fortunately for the reasons I have stated I along with plenty others, are just sat patiently with our “Hands under bum” mentality.
I just hope you all get your just rewards as you deserve it, after a year of being in the trenches with bombs exploding all around.
