After a trading halt on 17 April, PEN is trading again after announcing an equity raise @30c on 22 Aug. The institutional offer is now complete and the retail offer at 1:1 closes on Tuesday 29 Sept. I note from your comments in Q&A last week that MM has no interest in PEN, however, if you held the stock, would you consider participating. It has been trading 10 to 20% above the offer price early in the week. My concern is the discount to the last traded price before the holt is >50%.
Love your work and value your opinions.
Hello Esteemed Team,
Which of your current Active Income Portfolio stocks would you buy right now from scratch and why?
If the US$ heads lower, investors will look to other markets for returns. The price of emerging markets ETFs have increased recently. What is your view of these ETFs, eg EMKT? I note your core portfolio does not have any.
Hello again Gents,
I do love these Q&As – always very informative.
So, let’s assume that a US recession is inevitable and let’s assume that you’re too old and tired to sit it out and wait for the recovery.
What sectors do you exit from and what, if any, are worth holding?
Let’s also assume that you’re heavily invested in commodities like gold, silver, platinum and uranium and you’re staring down the barrel of the recession, but also a failing $US – a contra-indication?
Please hypotheticalise (my new word) away.
Thanks as always.
With developments in recent months in RARE EARTHS with US Govt taking an equity stake in MP Materials and also underwriting the produced NdPR price (and also the Aus Govt taking a stake in LTR), do you think Lynas Rare Earths (LYC) is going to be setup for continued share price strength, or is the market going to lose interest now that they have doubled in 3 months and also done a capital raising at a new all-time high? Your outlook for the LYC opportunity please. Done and dusted, or just getting going? – Paul.
Do the figures you quote for average loss and percentage of times the ASX or other indices fall in September take account of the significant dividends that are paid out during the month?
