#Exuberance

Some amazing volatility in recent days. Most of this seems not to be based on any real data but some excitement around potential of the YOZO/BNPL space. Who knows if they will get any traction here or not. 
I took the opportunity to sell 60% at .11 for a return of >5x. 
If 4c is fantastic I could easily regret this, but am happy to take the win and reduce to a more sensible 2% of RL portfolio.

strange times are these!

it would seem a well followed twitter poster (with ~10k followers) has made positive noises about CI1, and a few others to boot.

SP was over 10c at its high representing ~300% intraday gain. I was asleep.

It's difficult to come up with a rational explanation.

Most likely represents a sign of the (Robinhood) times. Possibly, a leaky ship pending the upcoming 1/2 yearly.

Honestly, I would have closed out at 10c had I been aware. Have a sell for 1/2 holding at 9.5c.

Having similar thoughts about my 3DP holding.

Greed/fear/greed/fear.

Oh man, I should have bought more bitcoin etc...

#upcoming 4c - drum roll......

recently has had a bit of surge in SP related to the acquisition of YOZO. The idea being that they can now identify and target all those millenials who have gone into debt on the BNPL platforms.

Sounds pretty reasonable in theory, but extremely light on details. Execution risk is ...high.

More important for me is how the next 4c comes in. Has all the turmoil in HK translated into increased profit? Are we still going to get a divvy?

Have the Singapore purchases turned out to be consistent earners or are we looking at a nasty surprise once those businesses have been bedded down and the books opened to proper scrutiny?

DISC: hold in RL, and against my usual rules have a 5% holding in a high risk, non-AU domiciled speccy (outside of super)

#Bear Case

After going through this more carefully, I'm a bit bearish on this company and I sold out even though they operate in the solvency sector which on appearances is a good counter-cyclical area to invest in. Not to mention there is a last minute buyer of shares which is propping the price. Some of many bear points are covered below.

I don't think the Chapter Two acquisition will be enough to gain traction in an already crowded Oz market dominated by larger players such as CCP and FSA. There is also the issue of integrating their tech platform used in HK to the acquisitions they've made.

There is dilution caused by extra shares being awarded to the directors as part of the remuneration (see all the Appendix 2A announcments).

The CEO does not own 50% of the float as mentioned before, transferring some shares to other big investors more than 6 months ago.
