Will you be happy VB if the SP does drop and you are right and your own investment....what remains of it depreciates?
Oiltap: Correct with your first guess, and I don`t mind telling you! I was lucky enough to have jumped ship and collected a very tidy sum around 4 years ago shortly after GLR topped at nearly 10p. - I won`t mention the occasion! However, I retained a trifle at around 2p purely out of curiosity (and then, possibly, hope!) My `trifle`? In my terms - currently just about a mouthful.
Egg on faces Oiltap? Don`t pop the champagne corks yet! `Churlish`to remind you but, less than 3 months ago and following the Sandfire deal, GLR`s SP shot up by around 35% in a day (to around 1.47p). Unfortunately, this was then followed by an almost constnt (and dramatic) fall Let`s wait and see what the next 3 months bring.

Come on Oiltap! You must be bright enough to recognize that I used a potato peeler as a light-hearted suggestion regarding your patented item(s), which are clearly important to you - and there is nothing wrong with that.. However, I do hope that your patent remains financially fruitful for you, because, as you noted in the last few days, you "continue to top up in GLR - simple as". Desparate measures or blind faith? It`s beyond me as, seemingly, your faith doesn`t quite gell with a good number of investors who are jumping the GLR ship, one way or another. But then, perhaps they are not lucky enough to have the benefit of Oiltap`s mental capacity. and analyrical skills to spot a winner. But folks, in GLR`s present case, neither do I !
I started reading VB but got bored. 2 very large posts of you trying to prove your worth. Shame you feel the need.....as I said before
Many thanks MM! I have been awaiting the deluge from some of Oiltap`s afficionados . . . . But, broad shoulders and all that!
When should we expect drill updates in the kalahari
Loads of news inbound one big result in the kalahari and we're a different company
You issue shares to progress projects. That is how it works. The darling of the AIM minerals- EUA- diluted a lot but they had a bona fide leadership that took them forward.
Now if you just dilute to keep a smoking car smoking, then that is where your problem is.
The progress in Colin Birds companies dont warrant the placings/dilutions
The SP was almost double when I warned you guys here at the start of the year.
Vulcan Bob - Perfect, and devasting in every way!
Oiltap: Regarding your claim that you are sure that you can outpace me in Mental Capacity, I suppose that is because I mentioned to DC (and purely to counter one of his comments) that I had had a good education. I readily acknowledge, per se, that education in itself has little or nothing to do with mental capacity. But I do wonder how you have judged your mental capacity to be so sure of it? Some months ago, you made some disparaging comment about education, and I sensed at the time that you had a chip on your shoulder, perhaps regarding graduates.. So, I wonder now how you can be so sure about your mental capacity? A rhetorical question because I suspect that there is little doubt that you have taken an IQ test and achieved a high score. But Oiltap, assessing mental capacity is MUCH much more complex than just taking the IQ test. Indeed, in considering overall mental prowess, mental AGILITY becomes a vital `ingredient`within the mix and, possibly I could have you beaten there. But, apart from you, who cares anyway?!
I have to admit though that I coulld not compete with part of your list of bragging rights which you included a few months ago for reasons best known to you. You noted that you had a couple of patents against your name on your design(s). It would be churlish of me to add here that I suppose even a potato peeler could be patented but, hey ho, I must be churlish! Me? - I have never patented anything - but then, I haven`t needed to. My bragging rights then - and included here not to `anything you can do, I can do better` but to give you some alternative indicator of mental capacity/agility. Well, for about 8 years or so, HMG delegated responsibility, (via the MOD) to me for a VERY expensive piece of `kit` called WE177B. Overall, that responsibility entrusted and required me to deliver said piece of `kit` to a place and time (to within a minute) as directed by the powers that be.
So Oiltap, having seemingly fallen into the trap of `anything you can do, I can do better`anyway, all I would say that, during my working life, I had sufficient capacity to cope with a disperate variety of tasks in hand and , more importantly, sufficient mental agility to always be effective.
PS: I was telling little fibs when I mentioned having a butler - and I don`t even have a Bentley either. It was just a lighthearted end - to make you smile! But, as for claims viz your `car velocity`, . . . . I doubt it!
Oiltap: That `statement` (as you call it) was tongue in cheek and meant to be a somewhat humouous end to my last. But then, I suspect that there is little humour in your life for you to have noticed! However, for one who occasionally comes out with fatuous comments, you therefore need to be particularly careful about calling the kettle black.
Fatuous comments? Just one example. Before this current GLR debacle (for which, in my view, Bird must take a fair share of blame) you may recall that I was again critical of the man. You explained away my criticism "because I was jealous of his wealth". Your rationale was silly in the extreme because, firstly, you had no real idea of Bird`s total wealth, and, similarly, you had no clue whatsoever as to how much I may, or may not have had stashed away in my bank accounts (Coutts naturally!) , property(s), and via H-L`s management services.
As for your view that I was sounding silly and pompous in my last, a rather threadbare observation without any substance.
I was purely responding to counter DC`s equally fatuous assumptions about my background. I can say with certainty that friends and colleagues who have known me for many years would likely variously describe in me a whole host of qualities or otherwise - but `pompous` - nah! Frankly, if you had bothered to look at both sides of the DC/VB recent `argument` then even you Oiltap ought to have been perceptive enough to form a rational, balanced opinion.
PS: It will disappoint you to know Oiltap that I don`t need a nurse. My butler, a long-standing and faithful manservant, looks after my every need! In fact, even now, James is presently warming up the Bentley on what is a very grey morn here in The Dales!
Well DC: You have certainly let your imagination run riot and, I suspect, there could be 2 reasons why you feel the need to stretch your creative thought processes. Firstly, you appear to take personal issue with anyone who doesn`t tow the general line and agree with the typical, oft repeated view that GLR, (led by its CEO),still remains well-situated to become a real `earner`. Secondly of course, I also think it likely that your negative, unfounded comments are a shallow attempt to ingratiate yourself further to others on this Board.. "Aren`t I clever folks, knocking VulcanBob the Non-believer"!!!
Like it or not DC, with me what you see is what you get. I have never needed, (as you seem to suggest), to hide behind a facade here in an attempt to impress folks who I have never met and, likely as not, never will.. Whilst it will undoubtedly spoil your jaundiced views of VB, it may surprise you to know that I had the benefit of a good, red-brick education. I mention this because it was then followed by a (to me) VERY satisfying profession which, although I say it myself, did perhaps develop/ broaden some intellect along the way.
Life delinquency? Another irrational view of yours but, nonetheless, I think not - not even a speeding fine. My `job` throughout my life, and as mentioned above, would have been a non-starter if there had been any hint of even one jot of delinquency during my formative years.
Changing tack, please give me some examples of where I "as usual I have taken someone else`s comments" (ie, repeated them). As for "making weak statements based on nothing" - Hmm! May I suggest "based on nothing" because you either disagree with them or don`t understand them . . . . . .ah well, so be it DC.
And finally, I hope that you will now knock these pleasantries on the head DC. You have spoken and I have replied. To continue would be tedious. Moreover, who knows, I could perhaps open my knapsack and bamboozle you with some intellect I keep stored away!
Kwadoku
I think you are being a bit hard on Mr Bird. As "whosaidthis" pointed out you can't just compare share price without stating number of shares in issue. Also don't understand where you get an sp of 10p for xtr. Me Bird took over the reigns in August 2016, when the SP was 3.65p according to the LSE charts.
In addition I note that you have conveniently omitted to mention his companies that have done rather well. For example JLP who's share price and more importantly, market value, has increased considerably over the past couple of years but still remains well undervalued by the market.
Kwadoku busy on all CB boards as usual. The posts will probably be deleted soon anyway as usual.
VB with the usual flowery cr*p he had to run through Googles thesaurus first to make a weak statement either based on nothing or taken from someone else (as usual) sound intellectual. Quite sad really you feel the need to do that so much. Probably the fact its a public forum and you can pretend to be someone you're not........definitely making up for some form of life delinquency.
Very easy to criticise those who are fighting against the odds to try make something.
What seems to be being commented upon is the integrity of CB. The research I have seen on this board hasn't led to any charges being brought and often relates to internal politics within particular African counties or tribal matters and possible associations with 'questionable individuals'. I would personally question the quality of the limited sources being quoted and ask why we haven't seen any evidence leading to legal actions being taken after being informed it was imminent over a week ago.
This is the BB for GLR so I would ask again, what activities are GLR engaged in that lead us to question the integrity of this company.
Casting broad assertions hoping something will stick simply reads like a group of disaffected current or previous investors annoyed at previous losses they have made or those who hoped to make a quick buck that has not been forthcoming.
kwadoku: Your 13:02 comment today. A simple resume about our man Bird - spot on!
There are just a few of us who have serious reservations on this Board about Bird. The mass ought to look back and re-read the detail of their initial comments when they first joined this Board. Whilst there has been some very informed and well-thought out research and comment - such contributions have also often been coupled with eulogistical, hopeful dreams about `tommorow`. Oh, . . . . and whilst also extolling their implicit faith in the apparent certainty that "Good Old Colin" will pull out the rabbit.
Do you account for share issues in GLR which diluted the share price … or just think your share price comparison is like for like which is very misleading to anyone with even a basic understanding of GLRs current situation.
Equally do stipulate precisely the factors within GLRs current project list you regard as being suspect . Are you saying every project GLR is fraudulent and of zero value or are you posting a personal view based upon nothing more than your own viewpoint with nothing but market valuations to support your viewpoint ?
Post some evidence if you have any.
What do you mean good or bad?
This is turning out to be some grand finale for Colin Bird
Im going to see if i can contact some of the old investors from XTR on twitter. They had heard some stuff about him too. About his business dealings in Africa.
I did come here and warn about Colin Bird some months back when the SP was almost double what it is now. I could see him playing the same games with GLR has he was with Bezant.
I have written off my investment in Bzt, but if i can spend a few minutes each week warning others about Colin Bird. I will do it.
For anyone who hasnt- read the article link that was posted recently. All very shady stuff.
This confirms what I have said. He did one big deal 10 years ago and has surfed the wave since. Presented himself as some mining guru. Loves the use of jargon and technical languages. His companies and those he is associated with are an often intertwined mesh which raises the question of conflict of interests.
Meanwhile- all his companies on AIM move at snail pace with declining SP. He extracts a 'modest' salary from each which adds up to a good salary...for companies that have done terrible under his tenure. Essentially- a reward for utter failure. And ofc he lives in the tax haven of UAE while all us investors who put money into his companies have all paid our income tax and what not.
There is fact and there is opinion. I have given my opinion. Despite his image as some successful miner. Here are some FACTS:
Time he became CEO of BZT- SP 0.5….now 0.14
Time he became CEO of XTR- SP 10...now 4.5
Time he became CEO of Galileo 7.38...now 0.77 (almost 10 fold!!!)
At what point do you stop just 'wishing' and look at his record and see the reality? There is a difference between patience/optimism and being just plain stupid.
