Surely not Winner.  OCA having more upside potential than HGH ?  Surely both won't turn out to be winners and anyone brave enough to adopt two abandoned babies at the same time might come out from their bottom picking exercise smelling like roses.  Can't be anyone brave enough to do that eh

At the risk of being chastised by mods.... *Untamed you are hereby chastised - Mod*

At the risk of being chastised by mods, you are such a hypocrite Basil.

How many times has this been the best thing since sliced bread until its not? Take all comments on forums like this with a mountain sized lump of rock salt.

Looking for a "dead cat bounce" on a major index exit with enormous selling pressure, (simple laws of vast amounts of supply drilling out remaining demand at a very low price point), seems like a pretty feasible investment strategy, one that was certainly talked about quite a lot on the other channel.  Basic economics 101 the laws of supply and demand.  The only person I can see that's still saying it's the best thing since sliced bread is on the other channel.  $1 by reporting time in late May is the call, I believe.    Ironically, that's where the weighted average of analysts' sees it in 12 months' time (99.25 cents).
I'm not making any call on where this is going other than up, down or sideways, just asked a few questions that nobody so far has been brave enough to answer lol

You might not be "making any call" but your posts have most definitely implied that you have bought back in, or are considering doing so. So, I will ask again, is that the case, or are you just stirring the pot?

What you often don't seem to realise Basil, is that some people here, trust your input. Your comments and contributions may influence those people's investing perceptions and decisions (no, not mine). Yes, I know nothing we see here should be taken as investment advice, but newbies in particular do learn by example to some extent, so it is important to ensure your posts are clear and not open to misinterpretation.

This applies to everyone, not just you by the way.

Sage comments.

See post #842.  I think I've made it quite clear I am playing this as a dead cat bounce but who knows maybe late 50's cents was the bottom for this cycle ?  Certainly, if you look back at the share price history it was only under 50 cents for a couple of days of extreme panic during the depths of fear surrounding the worldwide Covid pandemic in late March 2020.  Anyone who bought at roughly 50 cents back then has certainly had ample opportunity to sell at a profit.  50 cents in late March 2020 adjusted for inflation is 59 cents now, (source, my workings on the RBNZ inflation calculator), so it's easy enough to make the case 59 cents on the index exit match price was very cheap and quite possibly a low point for the shares...I think it hit a low of 56 cents on very light volume one day that week but 59 cents was where the serious volume was done.

Also easy to make the case there would likely never be greater selling pressure with more than 30m shares being sold on index exit.

Dead cat bounce has worked to a small degree but maybe there's more than one way to skin a cat and Winner is right, it's such deep value here, there's more juice to come ?  I guess a new CEO could make a difference ? Who knows, certainly not me.  Time will tell. For what its worth, seeing as you say some people follow me, I think anyone hoping for $1 by reporting time in late May 2024 is highly likely to be disappointed.   That said, some further recovery from here back into the recent trading range of 68-74 cents seems quite plausible.    The other thing is that maybe at well under half NAV, this is a possible takeover target ?  Could be a bit of fun to hold for a while and see what happens.  I'm certainly not the adjective you so rudely used Untamed, an opportunist looking for a feed...yes...that's the thing with Beagle's, they will look under any rock if they think there's a feed to be had.  I guess I had better not hold my breath waiting for you to apologize for your comment lol

Bad dog - no schmakos for you today - lol

He doesn't need a schmako today as he's already had a smack in the chops by an untamed feline.

[Untamed]

It wasn't a "smack in the chops" - it was a respectful and polite reminder that we all have a responsibility to ensure our posts are clear and not open to misinterpretation. While I stand by the sentiment and meaning of what I said, I do apologise Basil, for post #840. That one was harsh, and could have been worded much better.

Very well put.  Old habits die hard, and Basil should try letting people think for themselves, particularly newbies.

Sorry but just too much good humour to be had from that Crackity post to waste.

[Untamed]

Yeah I know, but I don't want this to turn into a dog fight. I think I have made my point, so lets just leave it be now.

It's not about letting newbies think for themselves. Newbies learn from watching and listening to other investors, amongst other things. But it is important that the more experienced investors recognise that newbies are, by definition, vulnerable to misunderstanding and/or misinterpreting the many comments they read here. Newbies (to either investing OR to this forum) may not yet have a handle on the style or nuances of specific posters, which means they may not be able to "read between the lines."

It is just good practice, for everyone to be specific and absolutely clear in what they post, so their meaning is crystal clear. Basil has much to offer, but he likes to keep a veil of mystery about himself, and keep people guessing. Which really doesn't help people who are trying to learn.

Anyway, I think I have made my point, so time to move on now.

LOL Tony the Pony was a bad dog at the dog park this afternoon, but he got a schmakos .as a bribe to try and make him behave better lol  I suspect his habits, not unlike some hungry Beagle, are deeply ingrained.  Where he thinks there's a feed or fun to be had, he'll be in boots (paws?) and all.

The sp doesn't like all this fighting talk, back to 61c.
