For the first time ever I think, I’m in agreement with the bog monster
Eloro :- 'I am not open to being buttered up, then forgotten for another year.'
Ooooooh, picky aren't you! At my age I have to take it any which way and whenever I can! xx
Don't forget that Fort (or should that be 'Font of all knowledge...) repeatedly mocked my assertion last year that there would be no CA before the next AGM. He claimed there was no way this would drag on another year because 'tier 1 assets don't get left on the shelf '.
He is absolutely clueless and his brainless ramping should be treated with the se caution as Red and others. Sensible posters here already know this.
Agreed Fort. My vote will not be taken for granted. I want to see tangible outcomes. I am not open to being buttered up, then forgotten for another year.
Copperpot
Hopefully we’ll know more by then.
Personally I think it’s a question of box ticking (permits/licenses & IPA ) which whilst not exciting is very necessary from a derisking point of view.
Just have to sit tight and hope there’s something interesting in tomorrow’s release
If he leaves us in the dark with regards news prior to the AGM ballot paper arriving. They really are taking liberties with us!
I have long since taken the “put them away and forget about them” approach to this share. That, along with the endless puerile bickering on here, are the reasons behind my lack of recent posts. Still holding, as I still believe this asset must ultimately come good, but it’s certainly taking a lot longer than I originally anticipated. Having patience is usually good advice for investing, but twelve years with no tangible progress is stretching things. Anyway, back in the drawer they go.
Fort, QED.
Eloro,
He has to deliver something of substance before the AGM as I can tell you now, many are not buying into the .... vote for me and I'll reveal all in Q1. It should be... I'll reveal all in Q4 and then my vote is secured. Mmm!
Addicknt
"people's nerves are jangling at the moment". Are they? Can you substantiate that? Name some posters where nerves are jangling? You're at it again. And as for the rhetorical... question on abandonment... utterly pointless apart to perhaps get some nerves jangling hey Addicknt?
And where are the people that apparently were talking abotu abandonment in the first place?? Or did you invent them to to suit your rhetorical question?
Not directly connected but financial woes in China will definitely suppress
International investment short term
Well said Fort, totally agree with the sentiments of your post. Scott needs to deliver.
TheItalian, I will guess that English isn't your mother tongue. When you write:
"If I may ask, how much have you got invested here? My best guess is that I and others who complain less than you have significant multiples invested and seem to be less stressed out about it."
That smacks of wi-lly waving of the highest order with a thick layer of condescension mixed in with no room for misinterpretation that your view is that small investors are beneath you, and that only investors with large amounts invested in solg are proper investors. A true Capo di tuti capi attitude. I don't need your wishes of buona fortuna. You can stick it you ball of pomposity!
Good morning addicknt.
Yep that conflab between you and colonelDrake was silly.
He tried to make out you said something completely different.
But like many I tend to ignore his large diatribes as they always amount to nothing.
I am pretty relaxed about the way things are panning out.
People here seen to understand these things don't happen overnight and that they take time.
Then they complain about things not happening overnight and taking time.
Makes me wonder how many are experienced investors.
I had hoped we would get some news October or November, but from the look of things maybe early next year.
TI, I think the problem is people's nerves are jangling at the moment and patience is wearing thin - understandably so - and the posts reflect it.
For example, last week I asked if anyone knew of any Tier 1 prospects being abandoned. This was in response to a vague suggestion that it may happen here. The purpose of my question was rhetorical...I couldn't think of one instance, and I hoped that this may allay any fears. Sadly, this was interpreted as me suggesting Cascabel was at risk of being shelved, when in fact I meant no such thing.
Positions have become very polarized - how many times have we seen this happen when things appear not to be progressing as we'd all hoped? This occurs across LSE and we are all prone to varying degrees of confirmation bias and misinterpretation.
Let's hope something positive emerges from this week's MD&A and y/e statement.
Due today I think
SOLG has a mix of investors large, medium and small and all have different views based on personal involvement. We should get an update on major shareholders end of the week or via the M&DA and as past last quarter notable that the largest shareholders in SOLG are not going anywhere. Infact as we know the chinese were adding to their holdings in the open market.
Perhaps they know something that some of the doom mongers on here do not?
Anyway... these BB's are frequented more by the little guy...where it's his money rather than some fund or hedge manager who doesn't care much about the clients money and more about his bonus. Emotions come with smaller investors and tend to be absent from the larger players. That's just the way it is. So these BB's tend to be a place for many small emotional pi's to vent their frustrations and anger at not seeing a return on their hard earned funds. On that basis... not likely to change... ever. One thing is for sure... Scott is going to need to show some leg over the next few weeks as I'm not buying the promises of Q1 2024 updates... that's a classic pre end of the year AGM style game plan and for it to work, he's going to need to update shareholders properly and the deliver any finer details in Q1. Very easy to communciate the bulk of it with the cream ontop to follow just 12 weks later. If Q1 2024 is Scott's PFS date, then he'll more than enough now to bring Shareholders up to speed as there's no way another 12 weeks is going to change very much.
So if you want to be around to make Q1 2024 Scott... you best get a firm update out before AGM and follow it with a finale detailed version 12 weeks later or less.
@Sharket, my comment was obviously not in the spirit of "mine if bigger than yours", in fact if you actually read it, it refers to the different attitude of punters vs. investors. Eloro's comments denote lack of knowledge about corporate life, inexperience and impatience that are not in line with the reality of and understanding required to investing in a company like SOLG or the entire sector for that matter. That is ok when you just throw some pocket money to see what happens, less so if you are a 10 years investor with the long game in mind. Perhaps my sin is that I expected in good faith to have the intelligent conversations you mention.
Good luck to you and Eloro and everyone else anyway, money is money and we are all here to make more however much.
Maybe it’s just a northern thing but up here we call glasses as in spectacles gegs!
But no Gigs as in contracts would also be true if this shower of sheeite ever got it’s finger from up its backside and sold this pot of treasure
'Gegs', you mean gigs surely? Should have gone to SpecSavers '84. Lol
I must buck that trend, 25 years a desk jockey and still got eyes light a sh-it house rat
No gegs required here thank goodness
Thank you for clarifying Highflyigman!
Q1/24 is not long to wait. Hopefully, Fast & Smart Bob would have pulled together some sort of a deal by then.
I would not be able to see my PC screen without my glasses, I can relate to you in that regard.
Apologies Elro, typo on my behalf, definitely meant end of Q1 '24. 44 now and should know better than to not have my glasses on when posting - still, that's 26 years sat in front of a computer for you, my eyes are rubbish these days.
I get peoples frustrations here but Bob's played this game before and knows the playroom, I'm sure he knows what he's doing, but for sure he could do with a lesson in expectation management.
Gone put myself out there and forecast another dull week finish Friday at 13.5 p. Drip drip, bring on the new year once all the permits and the investment protection are tied up. C
DM, I also disagreed with those comments from TheItalian which I actually thought were made in pretty poor taste. I don't think the size of an investment has any bearing on an investor's ability to rationally discuss the pros and cons of a business and its management.
Both TheItalian and rcgl2 raise some good points about what has been achieved by the current team, but Scott & co didn't manage expectations at all well post-merger, as you rightly point out.
DM, no need to stress yourself because of TheItalian's posts. He lost all credibility from the moment he started the investment equivalent of wi-lly waving, thereby implying that only folks with only a massive investment in solg are allowed to post their views here and that all others are irrelevant. Who does this guy think he is? Your posts are as valid as anyone, and I detest jumped up posters pouring scorn on those who may have invested their widow's mite in solg!
