Is dit dan het mooie na-beurs berichtje waar ik op hoopte?
Is de uitgifte na-beurs (Tel Aviv) strategisch gepland door de leiding van Kadran om de aandeelhouders morgen op de vergadering toch nog in de ogen te kunnen kijken?
Is het voldoende om de shorters af te schrikken en de koersdaling eindelijke te stoppen?
Is het voldoende voor het veroorzaken van de onvermijdelijke short squeeze to come?
Vragen, vragen,
