RE: Rising Share Price17 Jul 2023 20:45
Some people just write messages on here to provoke people and some write things to off-set some of the comments placed on here. First of all most people investing here know the risks of pre-funding and it is not to similar to an oil explorer either hitting a dry well or finding resources. The result is binary and sometimes getting funding has a cost and the return for an investor is delayed much longer just as the cost of getting out a new resource may not be as economic as hoped for. Having folks lecture on the risk being to high is tedious as everyone has their opinion on it and manage expectations accordingly.
For those making comparisons with 2020 it is important to note the share register was 185M back then and say 275M today. For those saying the staged mining has dropped out sulphation costing, I see little evidence of it in the recent RNS, but they appear to be losing a year in time to harmonise with infrastructure spending which they partly do not need to pay for and lose higher production capacity that was built in before that may need more Capex later on.
As for the future price on Pensana depends on what ABSA come up with. We can also note China, USA and a chunk of Europe frying today and most of this week. The debate between China and USA continues. A few nice words from Janet Yellen does not solve the core problems. It was just a few weeks back that some rare earths may not be exported from China in future. We do not know if a recession emerges and we do not know if the war in Ukraine draws to a close. We do not know if another party emerges that buys the whole company and has the means to take a mine and refinery into the market to increase capacity to have a potential solution in reducing carbon emissions.
As for the share register, the holders are actually very solid. The names change, but the holding do not change investor identities that much. In fact some of the changes in one of the nominee accounts amounted to my own trades leaving me wondering what the other 99% were doing other than holding. The trading has been abnormal. It may soon drop to more typical levels of around 400-600k. The risk if anything is lower volatility and watching the share stuck around 26p for awhile.
