Where did I suggest you 'said' guarantee? But clearly your post strongly 'implied' guarantee.

Where did I suggest my view is the only one allowed? On the contrary, I welcome all views but also anyone's right to contest those views.

Yes, of course, many placements pay off but equally many fail at this end of the market.

I was not referring to an offtake inthe present. I was referring to an offtake being a far more important 'sign' of confidence, when and if it comes, than a placement.

It is never 'too late' to enter a successful company.

I did not say that you did not see the investment as high risk albeit the tenor of your post implied it.
