Hi bloodninja, Bit of a dog I agree but not a total dog perhaps? I first bought in September '17 and sold out 2 years later when the then government and their regulatory bodies failed to intervene when the Malesheva incident occurred. I lost a couple of thou but not to disastrous and I said at the time that things were a bit to Wild West for me. I stated buying back in May '20 for the following reasons. I admired Chris Gilbert's tenaciousness - he just keeps swinging. A new more progressive government was elected. New experienced staff were taken on, the factory capacity was improved and the fundamental fact of good quality stone in a low cost environment was still valid. And of course Compo was a possibility. I like the way this has been funded and also the quality of our legal team seems good to me. Time will of course tell.
Covid-19 has been a major obstacle with the collapse of trade and travel. But given the fact that we're still trading, just I admit, we could even make it without any compo. Even if we netted a 10th of our claim we would be in a cracking position. This is I think a real gamble - woof! woof!
