"What you personally haven't seen is only relevant to the extent that analysts can be lazy*. They go by the past and what they are familiar with. This is where the opportunity exists for the everyday mum & dad punters."
I think your off track a heap here Dolce.. I notice you keep saying similar statements, such like "most of the market is still on holidays, at the beach" and "analysts are at the beach" and now "analysts can be lazy"
these statements prove to me that even your wondering why the market hasn't pushed the SP up here... There is nothing sleepy about analysts and the market, plenty of millions pushing through the ASX since the beginning of the year, many high risk specs alike Azure are having heaps of dollars thrown at them.. why is Azure sleepy?...
Yes the history has a down side, yes Tony has yet to even prove if Azure can bring about constant revenue for the first time.. I means its been 14+years hasnt it????????
The projects at hand, as you and a few of us are well aware and I am sure analysts are well aware also, have upsides and downsides.. As with all spec coys risk and reward are obviously taken into consideration..
The facts though regardless of projects: cash at hand, potential revenue, time factor to revenue, dilution caused from CR's on the lead up to possible revenue, history of many failed revenue opportunities and so on is the main reason the big dollars arnt getting thrown at Azure from investors..
In saying that, Im holding $6figures worth and do see potential here... I am a little surprised, as you seem to be, that the interest seems to be asleep, but I assure you its not cause of laziness or beach sand in the toes... its cause many think Azure just cant do it alone, they need the likes of Teck to get them to revenue status...just like when Rio jumped on the azure ride before letting go, the market came alive for Azure, I even got serious lucky with that one... however when Azure came to be standing alone yet again the market just took their losses and left the building...
History is a factor, you cant and should never turn a blind eye in this game to the past...
Im still surprised we haven't edged up to the high 40's considering the soon release of Alacran results... maybe the market was awaiting Azures bank balance, which in my opinion isn't too bad considering, however they sure know how to burn money...
They really need to get with the current market today... research is at our fingertips... Investors, mum and dad traders and alike are not focused any more on what could be in the dirt, or what drill results show, they are interested in revenue and how long it will take before a coy becomes self sufficient... after all that is what all the investing lessons teach beginners prior to investing... its what brokers look into the future for...
Azure is hanging in the balances, like I have said before, this time round I think one of these projects better come through for them, otherwise Azure is going to be in a worse situation then ever... This is why I feared consolidation in the first place...
Any way, time will tell, we can all have our opinions, ramp it, down ramp it... but I think we are at a stalemate and Alacran is the only thing at the moment that has an opportunity to push the SP up... if this doesn't happen then I will probably be losing 50% of my $$$....
All I can say is...good luck to us all, we are going to need it... high risk for sure... def up side and profit potential from this entry level... crossing fingers.... literally...
