That is a good question, but I cannot speak for Eric. I am not sure when he invested, but my point is not why he invested, because I imagine he did so for good reasons, but that anyone entering today is paying a high price relative to the options presented.
BTW - Eric in SVL and ADT on the ASX. I know he paid circa 10c for SVL (so way less that it is today), same with ADT - but I cannot recall the exact number and he participated in a cap raise and bought a lot on market too circa $2 to $2.50..
