“The real question is why do folk bother with bulletin boards like this then?”
There are useful insights and facts to be gleaned from BBs and they also give you an opportunity to bounce your ideas off other posters. BBs can also give you an idea what the “groupthink” is at any given time and that can often help you with your trading decisions. Any posters who aren’t helping, you can just filter.
nlondon - you beat me to it - did you know that rossannan did the disappearing walk of shame after his stunt with the phantom placing - presumably he thought he'd start with a clean slate on BPC many months later!
rossannan- ' Any arguments in the stands will have no bearing on that outcome. Anyone who thinks otherwise is probably more likely than most to lose money because they are more focussed on BB chatter and are failing to look closely or objectively enough at the bets they are making. '
It won't be lost on ex- CERPers that you shouted loudest and most frequently for close to a year, FROM THE STANDS, promulgating your tosh about Koot's phantom placing - what strange behaviour from someone claiming it will have no bearing on the outcome! That you were thwarted is testament to the band of posters on here that called out your tosh akin to playing round the clock whack- a -mole!
' Anyone who thinks otherwise is probably more likely than most to lose money ' - no tears from me over any money you've lost - clearly you should follow your own advice to make money - stop posting your tosh on here !
'Any arguments in the stands will have no bearing on that outcome. Anyone who thinks otherwise is probably more likely than most to lose money because they are too focused on BB chatter '
The real question is why do folk bother with bulletin boards like this then?Especially as nobody knows anyone in person (generally speaking i am guess though), their 'investment experience', success rates, whether they are a troll or not?Hell if i know!I'm on here too!Do we just like to all feel our voices are heard and like it when our opinion is proven right (or else disappear off the board)?

“1. Why the constant negativity?
2. Why create a subject line so ridiculous and keep replying to it?
No sane person would bad-mouth their own shares!”
Two interesting questions and a very interesting observation.
Negativity? It is a long time since I felt so positive about a trade. It’s a near perfect setup - I’m confident of more than doubling my money with my spread bets at their 4.8p target and maybe doing even better with my real shares.
My subject line is, of course, an homage to your own “BPC 4p-5p per share (£200m market cap) even if Percy-1 is a duster? Here’s potentially how and why”.
As for the idea of no sane person bad-mouthing their own shares, we’re free on here to say whatever what we think. After all, what is going to deliver the return we’re looking for is the horse that we’ve bet on proving to be a thoroughbred rather than a nag. Any arguments in the stands will have no bearing on that outcome. Anyone who thinks otherwise is probably more likely than most to lose money because they are too focused on BB chatter and are failing to look closely or objectively enough at the bets they are making.
Rossannan: If you really do have 1m shares in BPC and 250,000 exotic CFDs....

CERP had debt. BPC paid it off. CERP payroll is no more and is part of a slightly larger BPC one. CERP run out of investment money. BPC will have this money. The BPC BoD are not idiots and would not have merged with CERP without doing sue dili. If just one on the many ex-CERP assets such as Saffron 2 or Suriname meets expectations.............shareholders will do well.

“Furthermore, we know that Trafalgar dumping c100m in August caused the SP to temporarily collapse from 3.2p to 2p.”
It is important to reflect on the origins of that Trafalgar dump because it tells you a lot about how capital hungry the ex-CERP assets are and begs the question of how much capital they have consumed to date. It would also be worth your while having a look at the old CERP BB because at any given time there was always a ramper-in-chief with a shopping list of good things that might happen, most of which never did. Don’t be next in that unfortunate line.
