OK, no questions were asked about the incresed input costs, no.
They don't usually livestram the AGMs I don't think. the Investor days yes, but not the AGMs. Possibly because of proof of share ownership is required to attend, speak and vote at an agm, but that's just a guess.
I agree that the sp will most likely fall on Monday as a result of the straights being closed again, it was of course one of the main instigators of the sharp rise on Friday, along with the ITM RNS and the "Halo effect" of that. i also agree that trying to time or trade this is difficult. It would only take an announcement of the S+P partner, with or without revenues and this will start to move. far better just to get in and hold imo. Retail investors are notoriously skittish and want everything now! Of course we do, it's our money. Ii's play with other peoples money but have a longer timeframe. 10 new Institutionals came on board last July during the raise and that sends a message to me at least, that buy and hold, don't trade and you will be rewarded.
I understand that LTH's are fed up with false dawns and RNSs that used to come out and nothing comes of them. JW and KB have been in place just 15 months. The rebrand willl do a lot to put all the stuff that has happened in the past, in the past and should not be carried forward into the new management's regime.
If at all possible, go, attend a meeting, see the whites of their eyes, their belief in both what they want to achieve and the plan that will get them there, it is pretty inspiring.
3 of us had breakfast at the hotel last Thursday before the AGM. JW came over sat down and spent 15 minutes chatting with us. A CEO about to go into the AGM does not have to do that and his excitement was palpable. Just by comparaison, the last AGM Bond was at, he sat at a table, by himself, didn't speak to anyone, not even his own team. This speaks volumes to me.
We all want this to succeed of course but we do need to give the new team at least 2 to 3 years to execute their revised strategy, I know that means more waiting, but it is only fair - then judge them - that is only fair.
Atb Alde, I don't post on here much but you know that I respect your opinion.
