Well it’s hard to sugar coat it. Yesterday was a disappointing day for holders. For me, brainchip is a difficult company to invest in as I don’t fully (or even remotely) understand how this technology works. But with the help of others on this forum I do have an idea of the concepts of Akida, and the revolutionary direction the neuromorphic industry could lead modern technology. Personally I still consider it a risky investment due to the space we operate in. I believe our biggest risk is competitors. You only have to look at the past ten years to see the rapid developments in technology, with some companies being left in the dust of the big players. That being said, I do back our superior tech, and the direction this company is heading, although do understand the adoption of technology can be a lot slower than expected. I trust management will deliver on their ambitions for the business.
While I appreciate and applaud the dot joining of the thousand eyes, I personally can’t take these speculations as fact when valuing the business. Maybe these speculations are what has partially inflated the share price and maybe for some the expectation of revenue, or maybe I’m just a hopeful pessimist. Although since we were last trading around the 60c - 70c, I believe the company has added significant value.
I see some people get annoyed with the lack of information due to NDAs, but in the highly competitive environment we’re in, these are in our favour in the long run. This investment is a marathon not a sprint. We have to trust management and remember the facts.
While I don’t side with shorters and downrampers, I do see their side of the coin. From a financial perspective the billion dollar plus valuation can seem overshot with the lack of revenue, other tech giants hot on our tales, and the current financial climate. But for the majority here, the value is in our indisputable ip, patents, world class partnerships and end goal of being the de facto standard of edge AI.
These discrepancies in value creates volatility, and volatility creates opportunities for investors.
The coming quarterly’s will really be the make or break for brainchip as I do think they will need to prove their strategy of turning their genius into dollars. because at the end of the day the goal of a business is generally to make money. If brainchip does succeed, it will change our lives more than just financially. That’s the kind of technology we’re investing in.
All in all, I don’t blame those that sell in times like these. People’s investment strategies are different and time will tell who prevails. If only we could invest with hindsight.
