Microsalt: wonder IPO or ludicrous price?

Microsalt (SALT) tried to raise £10-15 million ahead of an IPO last October but for some unexplained reason, Nomad Zeus postponed the IPO. On 1 February it joined the AIM sewer after raising £3.15 million gross (£2.5 million net) at 43p giving an £18.5 million valuation. Today, after announcing what it termed a “vital” deal earlier this week, the shares are 112.5p so valuing it at just over £48 million. Really?

Photo article from the Welsh Hovel - preserving the last of the radishes, South East Asian style

It has been a bumper year for radishes here at the hovel but all good things must come to an end so I picked the last of them at the weekend, freeing up space to complete a new herb bed. The radishes were cleaned, sliced then put into a hot pickle of cider vinegar, sugar, water, mustard seeds, a couple of ground chillies, ground black pepper and some salt. What you see should last up to three months in the fridge and the pickle does taste awesome, if I say so myself.
