Yes lets not kid ourselves war is never the answer. LOLDon’t mention the war !!
Some here have suggested that our stock price decline is a result of the war...me myself personally disagree.
Putin launched his monstrous attack on the Ukraine on 24 February’22. At this time, the ASX300 (my favourite index) was around 7400, and BRN‘s stock price was in the mid $1.20’s. The ASX300 tanked down to 6800 but BRN initially held up before sliding down into the the low/mid $0.90’s. As of today, the ASX300 has fully recovered back to 7400…BRN has struggled to get back to $1.00.
No doubt the war has not helped, but BRN was already sliding from it’s post Mercedes January press release high above $2.00, and for mine, the principal reason for the decline is the lack of news. I have to say I’m now very impatient for news of progress.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a rusted on true believer in Brainchip, and throughout this period of decline, my trading has enabled me to add very nicely to my parcel. But let’s not kid ourselves that the war is solely or even principally to blame…it’s the vacuum that is building as every day passes, without the news we are all awaiting.
The price of BRN is driven by retail investors. If you look at where retail have gone during this period FOUR things stand out:
1. Cash - safe haven in times of market volatility for some;
2. Gold - price has been over $2,000 at times
3. Big 4 Banks - all have been up even WBC which was languishing before this
4. Commodities - such as Oil and rare minerals
The reluctance of retail to venture back into Brainchip is being experienced by other similar stage Aussie tech stocks - AXE for instance.
There has been significant bot trading and capping.
I do not accept the proposition that there has been no news. There has been a great deal of news.
What there has not been is some sort of gang buster ASX announcement but in the present environment it would generate a trading spike and then a drift back because we have a war, inflation fear, interest rate fear, supply chain fear, a Federal election looming and China & Nth Korea being aggressive in our region all of which will continue to be the siren call to safe havens for retail investors.
We are actually travelling along quite nicely towards the second half of this year when income will start to occur and Brainchip will then have ticked all the boxes, validated technology, patent security, established trusted management and growing income from customers.
The $2.75 by Christmas is playing out in my opinion.
My opinion only DYOR
