RE: Brexit Proof - OPTI included3 Dec 2018 16:44
Nice find parob, indeed I mentioned the CE mark and Brexit in an earlier post. Even more important is the medical device registration. Think of it as an international passport for SlimBiome. Of course another factor not mentioned in the article is currency tailwinds. Under a deal or no deal scenario the pound will likely come under increasing pressure as the world doubts our ability to pay debt with a weaker economy and weaker tax revenues. This could mean importing inflation as Stirling weakness pumps up the price of our imports as we run a trade deficit. Contrary to what people believe will happen interest rates could actually rise to prop up the pound and not fall as expected to provide stimulus which will likely be plugged by more QE. This is why either outcome in the short term is not ideal. But what does all this macro have to do with Opti, well as we will more likely be generating income from abroad it’s worth more when exchanged back into Stirling. We also have exposure to US, Euroland and Far East providing an income diversity to help us through the inevitable post Brexit blues. We may then even get a further lift from improved trade deals post Brexit which could come nicely on time for the other product lines. Indeed Opti is a pretty unique and probably safer place to put your hard earned than many of the blue chips atm. We have growth and an eventual dividend stream to look forward to. These are my views, they are apolitical and just my investment case. Trek on macro.
