I’m sure you do know all that, it’s your conclusion I’m quibbling with. At the end of the day, I understand personal circumstance is also a factor and if you say you want money in your pocket first and foremost, I believe you. From my perspective, if the only thing that mattered to me was pocketing cash, the logical extension of that is to immediately liquidate the company and pocket everything, maximising my cash but cancelling my shares, which would have zero value, albeit for a nice CGT loss. Not entirely sure I can see how that makes me better off though

OMG what have I done? I can just hear the chorus starting up now…liquidate the company, liquidate the company !
