Bou, you can't pump it, you can't dump it. We are suspended. And that's a good thing.
Speculators and speculations are all we have and each other so let's be nice.
Antos Glogowski, as I believe is the one to keep an eye on. His furious buying of Bou shares, and actions since suggest to me in bold print, that he is the puppet master here.
You don't buy so much of a cash shell to sit back and not have a say in its direction. Like I have said before "Syms is working for Antos not the other way round".
The curve ball that is Health has worked and done its job. For it has shifted views and, changed opinion with ease. I counter that with a basic question. Who is running the show, Antos or Syms?
All in all, really loving the latest activities on companies house with everything related to Antos. Now recall all of Syms previous positions, he came to do a specific job and move on. I reckon he is here to do the same, although he might stick around.
But my favourite has always been Couer. With that message from Antos to the Couer shareholders and staff middle of December 2019. It will be within the next 3 months and shell companies have the 6 months for good reason. We have up until the deadline in April.
All is well before then. Gla
A_milli...Syms is working for Antos not the other way round".
-----'---AND he could be open to inject more cash into a suitable project, if required?
Imo..

@milli, if there is a crumb of truth in a sea of speculation your words as per "You don't buy so much of a cash shell to sit back and not have a say in its direction." are the former. I'm reading some posts as being confused as why Syms is in the picture. Why should it confuse? It makes perfect sense. Antos brought him in to give him leverage in persuading Couer to take up the RTO deal if there is a competitive healthcare RTO target on the table. Or alternatively it can be viewed Syms is his mitigation against the risk of his preferred option in Couer not going ahead. Either way, Antos is stacking the deck in his (and our) favour. If folks can't accept that, then accept that perhaps it doesn't make a jot of difference to who is running the show between Syms and Antos, they are strengthening each others hand in their co-existence and whomever ends up with the final RTO, they both still win (and so do we).
I have no interest in which or what company is RTOd here. My only interest is that the deal is delivered, in good time, and as bou shareholder we get a good slice of the pie.

Best post I have read in a long time
Clear and to the point
Chris
Hello everybody. New here but very long LTH since PSL and J.MC as a CEO. You can check all my tweets since 2018 jeez… long time. Some here I know very well from twitter :-))
So where we are now ? Any idea folks ? Hopefully we are very close.
In my opinion no matter if our target is from mining, healthcare etc. Would be perfect to get something already making revenue plus nice %cut for us. Only worrying because time is ticking and not much left. No doubt AG is a top cat in this industry and advised bod as much as possible however I imagine he is limited as well. I’m sure everybody knows that directors have a mandate to apply shareholders funds to make a meaningful return. I think if they can’t deliver they will lose all credibility and this include our big man. I have some issues regarding lack of news but will not discuss this now. If anyone here hasn’t check yet AIM rules for nominated advisers please do. Very good info regards Nomad duties.
Come on BOU makes us happy !!!
I have 200M reasons for BOU to make me happy!
That is a decent percentage of the shares
Anyone got a greater holding?
200M !
WOW that's big kahunas my friend. :-)
Good luck
You'll be surprised of the holdings that people have. Not everyone will openly declare that though...
I don't usually post such info but got overtaken with melancholy
To the guys who advertised their holdings, feel free to add your account details and sort code as well. You are either being too honest and trusting to expose that on a BB, or are totally foolish and stupid asking for a security attack!LOL
Seriously I have said this many times, you would not go to a card game and reveal your hand, so why reveal the key to your personal information? Please take care in future. Some do have access to a share register!
I was wondering that brotherhood. Some RNS holdings updates have individuals named, so not sure how accounts are compromised? People giving out holdings are sending a message that their shares are in sticky hands, perhaps that is not in the interest of some others?? Otherwise I'm failing to see what the problem is?
Brotherhood and 24
I agree RNS do state holdings.
If I were to come om the BB and ask everyone "I was wondering if we can all put how many shares we hold here?" People then oblige and begin stating their holdings. Now if the price had been rising then great I can open a short against that since I know the total buys(not with BOU). That is just an example. Its also possible people exaggerate or lie about their holdings, but its also because their not aware of the kind of people reading a BB.
If you feel I am wrong then by all means state your holdings, and brotherhood good on you if your post gets removed. I am only interested in helping if I can.
I assume the majority on here hold their shares on a platform in a Sipp or ISA
If that is the case would individual names appear on the share register?
I thought they would all be lumped together under the nominee account the platform uses, if you look at the Bould website significant shareholders ( which I have been advised will be updated by the Co Sec as it is incorrect with regards the percentages and out of date) you will that other than Mr Glogowski all other large holders are nominee accounts
Also apologies if anyone feels that my earlier post was putting personal information at risk, just interested to see how involved people are

Waking up this morning, a thought occurred to me over what could be causing delay. Think there are at least 2 RTO's being negotiated. We're assuming AG's intentions are the same as our own - that he wants to make a profit on his money invested in Bou. Don't believe they are. His interests lie with Coeur, not Bou. He was appointed as Exec Chair there to ensure they can raise the finance they need to fund getting minerals out of the Armenian ground. His 320k in Bou was his "buy-in" chip to getting chairman of Coeur - it's what he was bringing to the table there. He would rather make 50k profit going with Coeur RTO and fulfilling what he was put in place at Coeur to do (and making an even bigger return on his shareholding in Coeur from being a list company), than make 100k profit going with a non-coeur target. But the Bou board have a duty to act in shareholder's best interests, therein lies the conflict and perhaps source of delay. AG's trying to up Coeur's offer. The Bou's board pursuit of the best offer by playing the competition of each other takes up huge amounts of time, by continually reverting. If they had only 1 option on the table, it would be very straight forward and we'd have had our RTO by now.
Jt
where do you get your information regarding 2 potential RTO's ?
As for flagging up why Mr Glogowski bought into Bou I think we all sussed out his reason a long while ago
I wasn't flagging it up at all, I was using it as a contextual point in connection to my theory there is more than 1 RTO option on the table and why there are delays in us hearing news.
Jt14...interesting thoughts and worth considering since all of us are completely in the dark?
However, further delays could be simply exacerbated as you say by more than one option. But could it be that there are possibly 3 or even 4 options to look at. ANTOS and his plethera of 'hopefuls' could be on the table as well as a couple in the health sector. This may be a controlling aspect of Antos's strategy...and problems arise if his unique ability to 'sell' the company 'something' maybe counter productive as their could be internal conflicts of interest. Too many co'cks spoil the brothel.
What's ironic is, we've all used AG's association with the Bou stock as a major asset/reason for buying in, when in actual fact he could be the one actively holding up our RTO right now
Jt14 very interesting theory. RKB I believe you are not the only one regards to his details ;-)
