Took a punt here yesterday. I understand and feel the anger of longer term shareholders but at £500mcap with around £500k cash and no debt it should bounce from current levels.
That's fine. I have done my research and happy with the risk reward from current levels. Lots of people on the sidelines watching keenly for funding to be sorted before taking a position.
Out of curiosity, are you a ROSE shareholder? I noticed you've been posting on here for around 2 years - some of the other posters have been posting exclusively on ROSE too when it seems they are not invested either. What's the story?
Yes I agree with some of the comments below - that to date it has been a huge disappointment - but they are finally drill ready after so long - all they need is to conclude funding. Look at the market caps of these companies on AIM that are drilling for smaller resources with a lower chance of success and yet they're valued 3 or 4 times more than ROSE.
I agree that it would probably be better to wait on the sidelines to see how the drill is financed to be on the safe side, but if they conclude a deal on favourable terms it will be very difficult to buy at current levels.
A few have mentioned that they're running low on cash so possibly a small equity raise for working capital once they have announced the financing of the drill.
Good luck to all and I hope that some of the longer holders here are able to recoup their losses too.
I took a position here on Friday. Excellent risk vs rewards at current level. By reading some of the messages here I gathered there are lots of investors with higher averages hence the negativity. Will be interesting to see this one goes over the next few weeks. GLA
Hi everyone, I have been building a position here over the last 2 weeks or so. Once the overhang from the placing last month is cleared I expect it to move fast as we are approaching a rich newsflow period.
Ex CEO Chris Brown converted £100k of the loan he gave the company into stock at 2p last week (2 months before the settlement) - very interesting
He also bought £153k worth of shares at 3.875p in Jan 2018.
He also converted £150k debt into stock at 8.75p in Sept 2016
Even without Chinese backing this is a bargain. However all signs do suggest the Chinese are keen to complete this deal. They made non refundable deposit of $1.65m and a further $1.65m in July so all signs are good. Delays aren't helping but if deal goes through them this has serious multi bagging potential.
The deposit of $1.65m received in Jan 2018 is non refundable.
Cash balance at 30/06 was $2.8m (plus another $1.65m received from the strategic partner in July) - total $4.45m.
H1 2018 revenues $24.8m - H2 revenues were stronger (so 2018 year revenues around $50-55n)
Cutting costs by $6mn
Market cap is just over £4m. Even if we were to say they have £2m cash left - the business is being valued at £2m. Huge potential here and limited downside from current levels. But I agree the delays aren't helping. But the Chinese look keen, they've already committed $3.3m.
Cashmonies started deramping the moment he sold - started talking the stock down so he could buy back in cheaper. That just tells you everything about his character and him as a person.
