Many thanks for the update DoN, somewhat reassuring but I do wonder what the future holds for QED.
As we have known for some time, the opportunity here is colossal. What I have not fully grasped, is the minefield of complexities involved in order to convert this huge opportunity. Given the quality and quantity of added expertise, coupled with the right support from our potential clients, we may at last be in a position to succeed. But, I think it also highlights how we've been had years of being led up the garden path, by a variety of individuals and their "imminent", "so close I can taste it" etc etc.
Why I wonder, "what is the future" is because we seem such a (comparatively) tiny entity, trying to become blue chip size. I am of the firm belief that in order to fully maximise the opportunity we will at some future point be subject to a buy out offer from another behemoth of a company. Even with our expanded workforce, we're simply way too small and the opportunity could demand scaling up at a rate well beyond us.
When/if any buyout takes place, I hope we're in a much healthier position SP'wise. Hopefully, MSC trial signed and progress in Morocco will see us well into double figures, meaning a future buyout would need to be in the 50p+ range to be attractive to enough shareholders.
Who knows. I might find a way out of this never-ending dream of wealth before I pop my clogs!
