Just on capital raising generally;
AVQ routinely funds itself through issuing shares and share options. A little too much for my liking.
I think it has a long history of doing this, remembering pre-consolidation, it had over a billion shares on issue valued at a little over a cent each.
This is the long term consequence of diluting your share price through relentless share placements.
It is an option for a startup but it can't be a permanent condition as it just leads to a lower share price after it burns through its latest capital raising.
I welcome the day when it moves from a speculative stock to being a producer.
