TER: Or do you prefer a larger share count, such as Allana, with its 193M shares verus 20M for Karnalyte?
CD: When you're in the small-cap space—and especially if your float is small—it becomes a bit riskier for clients to hold when the markets are a bit more volatile. It's one thing to get into a stock, but when the market is volatile and a client is looking to exit a position, it's very difficult to do if the trade volumes aren't there. That's the risk with Karnalyte. The average trade volume is 34,000 shares a day. So if you have a position that's 100,000 shares, it's going to take you roughly three days to get out of that position, and that assumes that you can be 100% of the trading volume over those days. And you could end up driving its price down significantly while you're trying to exit your position. Having a more liquid position in a stock like Allana that you can get in and out of a lot more easily would likely appeal to portfolio managers.
