Well some investors likes start-ups, huge profits can be made, IF they make it!
Several times your investment, even a 10 or 20 or X100 bagger!
Just look at the NVIDIA graph, penny stock in 2016, you could buy it below $1 back then, $117 today. It will be limited what you can make on it today!
Some contracts will very likely depend on, that the company is US based and listed, all the defence ones for starters.
I do agree that moving over to US at current MC/SP isn't good for shareholders. We will need to see a detailed plan on how they want to execute the move, I hope we see minimum a couple of good IP deals pretty soon.
