I just don't get it. 2 Questions....
1. Why do retail shareholders subscribe to the placement at $0.85 when they can buy the shares on-market at prices as low as $0.635? Maybe somebody who subscribed to the placement can explain why they did.
2. Why did the share price drop to $0.635 after the placement to "sophisticated" & institutional investors at $0.85 especially since the MD described the placement as "heavily over-subscribed?" You would rightly assume the "sophisticated" & institutional investors will gleefully buy more shares on market once the price drops below $0.85. Thereby, preventing it dropping much below $0.85.
My Grandpa Freddy once said the sharemarket is the orderly transfer of wealth from the village idiot to the smarties. Is this what he was referring to???
Cheers,
