Still no vote ere
Fred,
Yes still not sold any ,, who knows I may come to my senses yet ?
ffc
And vote NO.
Good plan Yellow.
I think Ian Ashby should perhaps join Sharesoc!!!
Even think I’m sorry I’ve been out all day
Yellow from that news report Thayer tinker it’s all over.
Spectrum issues so I am told......
No yo are a crap hat , the sad thing about it , you don’t really know what it means.
Have you still got all your original holding ffc?
Still no from me too.
Still a NO from me. So little left it really doesn't matter and there is no way I'm rolling over and saying yes thanks.
Fred very well put , It's so easy for some of us to "bravely shout vote NO" ( I wonder if I/we will regret our bravado if a No vote means we lose the rest of our investment)
You make the perfect argument for people to vote yes and protect what you have left !
There is certainly no right way to do this and I myself respect both sides so this absolutely must be down to the individual now !
I will continue to say what I will do but will not call out those with the opposite view .
I repeat that it's a NO vote for me but guys If you too are going to vote NO then only do it if you ARE prepared to lose the rest of your investment !!!!!!!!!!!
Best of luck to everyone whatever you choose to do !
Regards
ffc
Bucky i’m So intrigued by your close interest in the bulletin board. Your drive and enthusiasm to watch, listen and advise is incredible.
I watch with interest on your volume of posts as the Sirius story plays out over the coming 3 weeks.......................................... After all Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky.
I can’t remember IBAB’s list of emotions but I know mine so far. For the last few years I have been such a believer in Sirius and just so upbeat - too upbeat I know - but I can’t change that now. When AAL news broke I was so shocked and genuinely sad. I so wanted to remain part of it. Now I’m so angry. Angry at myself most of all but also angry that as SH’s we are in this position. Because I know when I first invested in Sirius I invested in a project that was in the driving seat. Around Nov 2016 BOD was in a strong position re finance - there was an opportunity I’m sure to address Stage 2 then. Now we are where we are and mistakes must have been made with our money. I’m also angry at what’s going on now - all these RNS’s - every day stressing me out because I don’t understand them! What’s going on with Polygon? SH’s are just in such a difficult position and I’m so sick of it. I’m angry at myself because a couple of other shares I’ve invested in are doing okay and there’s another I’d like to invest in but my money’s still in Sirius. Why? I don’t know. I don’t want to lose my remaining money as I do see other opportunities but what is going on? I’m not like some who are prepared to lose my money - they are not having any more of my money. It all seems a bit odd and like others I’m waiting to see if anything does happen. I’m not even sure I want to invest in AAL now as I’m angry at them as well! I know when you invest it’s always a risk and I’ve said before it’s my fault - but is it? Wonder what the next emotion is - relief - that that you’re not being bullied/played (because that’s how I feel at the moment) - but how I’m going to get to the next stage I’m not sure.
Sorry J curve.
Cf will be out the door first chance AAL get.
Sell now
The offer from AAL seems quite reasonable to me, given that they have a responsibility to their shareholders, not SXX's.
I've lost quite a lot of money (for me - everything is relative) which is tiresome.
As the EGM is apparently to be in London on March 3, and I will be in the middle of lambing up the dales then, I won't be able to get to the meeting, which is a pity, but my three nominee accounts with SSX shares in them - my ISA, my SIPP and my main portfolio - will all register a yes vote unless something very surprising comes out of the woodwork. The vociferous little dogs in the manger here are highly unlikely to have any material effect.
I expect the vote will go through, and if it does, will use the proceeds of my c200,000 remaining shares to buy another c500 shares in AAL, which seems quite a good bet. If I'd put what I put into SXX over the last 5 years into AAL, I'd now have about 5000 shares in AAL, but I didn't, so I don't. So it goes.
As I believe Woodsmith is an attractive investment, and am impressed by AAL - its profitability, its dividend, its ability to raise capital, its diamonds, etc - I intend to invest about a quarter of my dividends from my ISA this year into AAL, taking my holding up to about 4000 shares, or about 5% of my ISA - I think it is unwise to put too many eggs in the same basket, and am glad I didn't with SXX, so my losses here, while depressing, are not catastrophic.
A large number of PIs have clearly already taken their losses and sold out, reducing the chances of a no vote. I'm holding as I think their is an outside chance of an improved bid, and I can't believe Polygon will have put this much money into buying out so many PIs if they didn't have a good reason for believing their was something in it for them. But I could well be wrong, as I was in investing in SXX in the first place.
