What could be next?
What could be next ..
Interesting question, probably a listing on a US Stock Exchange, quickly followed by an outright purchase by some foreign banking entity.
Of course I’d be happy with a just a nice rise in share price in the short term.
Congratulations Michael – a great move for you.
