It's because most of these people don't understand gross profit vs EBITDA (or cash profit).

Look at the gross profit of APT and any other highly valued loss-making company.

It's not about platform itself, it's the cost structure multiplied by market potential. It's not rocket science.

Someone here said it well before, if they are taking a traditionally 30% of retail value business and turning it into a 10% of retail value business, how can they be a highly profitable? I get that there are efficiencies and digitisation by using their platform. But its a big task to cut an industry's takings by 2/3rds and then simultaneously turn it from an ultralow margin business into a high margin business. Saying you can do this STINKS without any real proof in real tangible results.

This company is yet to prove it can build a high GROSS profit business. I would expect this to be visible from looking at revenue/cash receipts less a subset of expenses (NOT ALL expenses). If that starts to show then I will buy back in.
