Although we appear well funded now, in the event further funding is required, it could, yes. Also, do you know how many investors share your long-term view and will continue hold? My point being that some probably don't and will sell at a sniff of profits or fear of loss particularly as we enter 2023 where recessionary fears are potentially realistic.
I tend to be contrarian and like to ask "what if?". This is a case of that and is just my ponderings, but I do believe long term that relatively stable price increases are best. In 12 months, BHP has had swings of ~50%, that is stressful holding through that, and investors might not. The ones that did have recovered 46% of their 2021 gains so in 12 months, they are down ~5%. Is that scenario good?
