Your sentiment virtually extends across the whole of the ASX. It is not difficult to understand that many investors see the possibility of 5% on relatively safe interest bearing bank deposits and can see exactly what you have described - a stagnant or declining SP and no income from a relatively high risk investment. The sentiment in the market is currently more than obvious - "give me the money and give it to me now" and that is what will shift money to bank interest bearing deposits or blue chip stocks offering yields plus franking of the same value. I have been an AVA holder waiting for a real catalyst for years, seen many mooted but fade and continue to hold in the hope that the current CEO can market the unique product offering whilst maintaining to nice margin they have.
