Lijkt mij in ieder geval een goede deal, en inderdaad Peebee er komt weer geld binnen minimaal 20 miljoen en dubbelcijferige royalties. Het is echt geduld hebben met Onxeo maar ik ben er van overtuigd dat het zich uiteindelijk zal uitbetalen met veel hogere koersen. Er kan in de (nabije) toekomst veel geld verdiend gaan worden en dit moet de koers ten goede komen. Voorlopig heb ik ook een behoorlijke positie en heb nog wel wat goed te maken. Maar het vertrouwen groeit. Nu de koers nog.
