Yea, companies we don't know or care about can go wherever it wants. Was referring to companies I have looked at in some detail but thought the market timing isn't yet ripe... like AQS [mining/food testing], even Aurizon, even Cochlear.

Those are examples of me trying to time the market, or time when it'd be just before a turnaround to then buy. Couldn't do it.

The only two I got "right" so far was WOW and CSL. Right in that I didn't bite thinking it'd go lower. So far that prove correct but that's just luck.

There's a couple of stocks I loaded up literally two weeks too early. Would have made quite a handsome return if I was asleep or take a holiday.

MRM might very well prove to be the third But as always, my excuse will be that I buy for the long term.

Will add my two cents to your queries above there.

Where did you get the $90M in cash required from? Interest and principal repayment?

MRM isn't negative net current liability as its balance sheet show. At least not the -$7.6M.

I mean, unearned revenue and deposits aren't exactly liability to be paid out.

You factor that with the projects it had since started (one boat on INPEX, a second to commenced H2); the tax returns; the potential wins and starting of new contracts... the relatively low debt ratio, no new capex. It would comfortably remain solvent without need for a cap raise until at least FY2018.

How comfortable a margin depends on whether it win jobs, sell any more boats, getting receivable on time and delaying payables... So these we gotta work out in finer details and get a clearer picture.

But under various scenarios, I'm happy with its current prices. Would I be happier if it drop like a rock when the bank require a cap raise and dilute... sure. But will it?

Further... don't forget that there are corporate merger and privateers around. That might not be as speculative as it sounds.

Please clarify what this means to a simple engineer like myself, assuming that I understand linear algebra, partial differential equations and control theory but not accounting terms.
