Hey Goldgnome,
Apologies for late reply, been on a golf break.
I agree on the CEY problem, the timeframes are too long, and I agree a lot of what Cowichan posted on reflection.
The AISC is not good, the markets operate at an exponentially increasing rate these days and this will not abate as the tech moves ever increasingly fast. It's like the recovery from the Oct2020 issues are too long, until yesterday's update, many thought (like me) would be much quicker.
New investors will most likely wait and see- as the up and coming financials won't be pretty. On looking at new finance, fine if it's for paying for expansion, but not simply to keep divis going and/or worse, paying for increasing costs- these divis would have to be reduced. the finance man was not very convincing.
Simply put, main SP movements always and will remain around RNS.
On the "will there be a crash", the biggest issue for me is all the doomsayers who constantly predict one, and have been wrong far more than right- for example the main indices in the US have increased massively, and a big drop would still put them ahead if they had simply put their money under their beds. I have a good friend who bailed after March2020 drop and is totally miffed he went low risk out of panic, and we had and have a "K" shaped recovery... can we all see anything coming? No is the answer.
For me- I'm going to move my main pension to more risk off balance now, to protect the big gains in the past 18months.
