update from last weekends post ;-)1 Jun 2019 13:04
we can now also add in Canaccord Holding going over 12% on 24.04.19, nice delayed notification,by a month there I see, to last weekend's post below :-)
'' thanks to PC01 for a hugely important point at the investor meeting with AK stating 'he was astonished when I asked if the trading statement was an implied profit-warning,..'.
Apart from our current improved financial position detailed in earlier posts and the potential ahead, there is the 'trading/investment' aspects to consider....
The placees offered up just under £2 million quid at 8.5p at just an 8% discount to the sp at the time, that's confidence, and they have been underwater since. My understanding was they did not expect an immediate return on the investment (quick flip) but a healthy gain over the next period (year) and the tiny discount in a difficult market would support that view imo.
The sp 'dropped' the RNS day (16.04.19) 25% on opening (mm's moved it down) the buys outstipped the sells by nearly 4 x 1 from the off at 8am and the sp could not gain traction over that period, as we observed and commented on at the time ,much greater buying pressure all day and yet no upward movement in the sp.
On 17.04.19 the Newlands declared a 3.6 % Holding in Cpx following the sustained 'fall' below 8.5p in mid Feb, two months on a downward trending sp and 'co incidently' someone picked up closer to 4% of CPX.
So we have placees awaiting a return on their investment at 8.5p, seeking higher and we have a new HNW holder of close to 4% of CPX who will clearly seek a decent return on I would estimate a holding picked up between Feb and April at somewhere between 4 to 7p.
Nothing shoots up in a straight line but clearly some large funds have entered CPX in recent months all with an expectation of a much higher sp over the next year or so, AK has attracted the funds in and few would part with such monies if they felt the potential could not be realised...reading back of earlier posts we clearly have an unlimited global market to sell into and it looks like others also see the potential here, they've put their money in here too, and some a lot higher than the current temporary 4p level :-) ''
