Was previously sitting on 3 million shares at average of $0.16. Sold looking to buy back at $0.13 but missed the jump after the CR which announced that part of the CR would be used to buy the extra 15%. Got my prediction of CR and price right but gambled they weren’t going to announce the extra % ownership acquisition at the same time so now have the same number of shares at average $0.20 because from memory had to sell some CXO and BRN which I purchased in between. Didn’t want to be trading AVZ, just wanted to lower my average, so yes I would have had a good profit and still have. The thing is that I see AVZ going to $2 in the short term under Felix’s government and really want to hold until producing and at least $5. If we are in the construction phase and it looks like there may be a change of govt in the DRC in late next year’s election, then I would consider selling then. Felix is doing his best to clean up corruption and it’s not an easy job, but AVZ still majority owner in Dathcom and if the worst case scenario happened and Zigin got that last 15% (which seems unlikely to me) I think the share price would still be well north of here for various reasons including they would have to make a financial contribution, it seems to be the only thing that stopped the ML and we would have more money in the bank. I probably sound like a ramper now, like you I have had big profits and big losses and the biggest reason companies go under is because they run out of money and AVZ still has plenty left. AVZ also has legal ownership to a large % of Dathcom and even if the Chinese or anyone else wants it, they are going to have to pay well north of today’s price. Many reasons listed already supporting our position and I think worst case scenarios not as bad as some people make out. Biggest worry I see is for those shareholders who need cash right now
"If we are in the construction phase and it looks like there may be a change of govt in the DRC in late next year’s election, then I would consider selling then."
This is what I don't get with people saying TO after ML. I mean why?
If we get ML then its BFS and FID and game on. The time to sell the company was before ML not after the hard yards of getting it.
For me the next point for a TO will be prior to the election and if that passes then no TO ever, no point.
