So many clever people here telling what stupid olde me thinks - how priceless is that.
I might be minded to listen to some of the advice IF this stone cold dead cert had delivered in terms of price performance and profit. But since we are 10 years plus in, and 2 or 3 more until meaningful revenue/ profit - then forgive if I just keep pointing out what an absurdly stupid bunch of clowns we have all been here !!
One thing I think you are all forgetting - the way of business in Botswana is what has hampered Tlou progress over the years. Now you all seem to have an expectation that all of a sudden, all of that will change and Tlou will be able to race ahead at uber speed. I think hindsight will show that the actual pace of progress will be much slower, just as I also think over 2 billion shares will be in issue by end 2025. And it is really really really tough to make a big profit in such a small and impoverished region when so many shares lay claim to the spoils. But then I forget as always, many here do not think dilution is an important factor. I guess you all just sleep walked through that period in Tlou's journey when they went 100m, 200m, 300, skip a few, 1 billion, 1.2 bilion ......
One thing though - We are all certifiably mad. Me for trying to help you lost and misguided souls for believing so strongly. You for pushing back constantly against me and taking what is clearly an unjustifiably sensible position.
We are all mad !!
I cannot be assed to unfilter him and look for the post that showed anybody ( who read and thought about what he was saying) what a huge dipstick he is!
It is obvious to everybody (except him) that the pension fun took all their 4/11 entitlement in December/January before adding even more from the undersubscribed shares. Still 169m spare until 30th April. I suspect this is news to Donkey even now!
The other obvious trait hehas involves criticisms of the world! Whatever he attributes to our failures reflect upon him tenfold!! He says I cannot stay away from his posts - that means he cannot ignore mine! This has gone on forever and a day both here and on ADVFN! I stopped on ADVFN and posted on LSE for years - and then he got onto LSE with VPN or LSE relaxed their hunt for his posts or people stopped reporting "*Ken*" who had been banned! *Ken* derivatives from Kenmare the other share he plagued for years! I never reported Bucklersfern to LSE because he used it very sparingly.
He is out of his depth - and does not know when he is beat - hence he never argues his point with anybody far less me. Does he hate me or does he envy me?
The one thing he was right was I need TLOU to come good!
I invested in HMV,AVN,SXX,USOP and TLOU big time.
The first 3 failed , USOP exists and will go under in time, leaving me with TLOU.
I hedged my bets as advised - and watched the progress here like a hawk!
Fox lied at HMV, Williams was an idiot at AVN, Fraser was a dreamer and a liar at SXX , and the Irishman at USOP was, and is, a dreamer and optimist of massive proportions? Throughout all of this TG has be a glowing light at the end of the tunnel!
I was clearly disappointed in him for a few weeks when I believed he screwed us over a placing! I was stupid to not trust TG! He knew the placing would be a disaster and our survival depended upon sophisticated investors and the Pension Fund!!!
The DOC and pension fund and the Gilby family have saved our bacon plus some unsung heroes like Stephen Hemsley in the UK - silent partners who held their shares (no RNS to show they reduced their significant holdings belowthe thresholds).
Tony Gilby has been brilliant to get us where we are imho. And Donkey is oblivious to it all!
Well put HB. I bet he thought the below was a pretty safe bet after they didn't take up their entitlement... only a month later to he proved horribly wrong, its what makes the quote so great
"In short, this current fund raise from sources in Botswana is by no means going to be easy to arrange".
BOTS 28th Feb 2024
Donk, you remind me of a cat chasing its tail. A few posts ago you loved the attention you got, now it seems maybe not.
I'll frame clue's often made point slightly differently. When you said it wouldn't be easy to get the BPOPF to invest more, we must take that (knowing your style all too well) as an implied prediction that it wouldn't happen. You'd have called it that if they didn't get in deeper. You'd have been all over it like a bad case of herpes.
So, "yet more hope and expectation that this time, yet again, the prive is going to start moving"... we'll take that as another implied prediction that it won't. Let's see, bearing in mind we could be months from revenue.
You're obviously across Botswana current affairs mors than most of us, and I've engaged when you post a link to something that I find interesting and/or relevant. These are, literally, news to me.
Unlike...
The share price is down, No S*** Sherlock
It has taken a long time, NSS
Fund raising for a start up isn't easy, NSS
Governments can be corrupt / obstructive, NSS
I have predicted this, and it keeps coming true, I'll be having fun whatever happens.
I suppose they'll bury the pipe once it is tested?
Never envisaged a pipeline looking like that - I pictured huge all metal pipes going to Orapa but flexible piping like this would make it much easier though security would need to be higher in some way. What animals could dig up a gas pipeline?
Exciting times ahead? Yes well as long as you're not 'the donkey'
.
Tlou share price on ASX dropped below 5 cents end January 2022. Yes 2022. How much space has been given here to stupid talk about price spread and volume, merging with AIM price, and yet more hope and expectation that this time, yet again, the price is going to start moving.
You want to criticise my posting here. Start criticising these endless, pointless posts about absolutely NOTHING of relevance to Tlou and it prospects.
When are you guys going to start focussing on the things that matter here ? Instead of pushing back on me and my ramblings
And you might be wrong. When are you pair going to dial in to reality I wonder.
Clooo just wants to try irritate me with his rather pathetic efforts to pick on words when it suits him. Reality - fund raising has been difficult to achieve for past 2 to3 years. Just check the history ! Then a play on the word Bond - when the question was asked by Brad as to how calculate future dilution. Which I did based on reasonable assumptions; and all this childlike moron can comment is about a Bond definition, Get a life pal.
Brad - either filter me or dont. But dont filter me and then keep talking about me in every / every other post. It is pathetic as well. And anyways, we all know you will unfilter me at some point, for no reason other than you cannot bear to not be reading what is being posted here.
And as for your pathetic efforts to rubbish my views on history - sorry but I was not the one that promised Tlou would be the best performing stock on all global stock markets way back in 2016-2018. You were; your mates here were; Tidd_83 was; his pals also did. And YOU ALL GOT IT WRONG.
Except me!.. Show respect for someone that has been consistent in opinion and views - You were wrong; I was right. Simple as !!!!!
Tight spread here but ASX holding 4.4c (2.283p equivalent).
People who are expecting some of the Ā£169M balance might be taking their profit?
If there are enough of them 1.8p might be coming, but low volumes currently 200k and 100k sells. I wonder if the chosen ones (if they exist - I hope there are none) have been confirmed?
Ok, you might be right.
Oh dear .... I said "are a hotpotch" and then did a spell check on hotpotch!
I do that by selecting the word, right click and new tab! Spelling was fine!
With no action needed I continued typing and overwrote the selected word?
I look at the keys on this Dell , not the screen , so I was oblivious to hotpotch disappearing! Explains some of my typo errors - my memory is so poor I use that spell check more and more with time. Once I doubt the spelling I lose confidence in what is correct nowadays. So annoying!
Agreed Winni.
Clue, If you filter him he becomes a more colourful poster guaranteed! Instead of Blue and Black posts he adds GREEN to these pages , and that is a TLOU ambition GREEN all the way to Botswana's #1 power house.
That GREENERY is all the support he is likely to bring to TG, TLOU , CBM power (not calor gas cyinders) , a pipeline to Orapa, Solar , and one day (I hope) Hydrogen.
The interest rate of less than 8% on the bonds is not that high imho.
If we can get 8% more than the Aussie price of $10 to $12 over the net 40 odd years it will be peanuts eventually. With the Botswana import price being up to $30 (or $40 as suggested on here from Mozambique was it?) it is a doddle!
Say $15 , then that is 50% uplift on $10 , or 40+% on $12!
What the unit of power is for those prices has always been a mystery. Mw/hr and joules and multiple joules and AUD and USD and dollars or cents are!!
But the proportions and percentages on a like for like basis make my arithmetic accurate chaps. That will not be obvious the Green One for certain. Ignore his inevitable tripe and let him carry on believing we are still back in 2014 when TLOU and Sekaname were planning to deliver gas in calor gas containers with lorries! The have both moved on to delivering electricity thrould wires - but Donkey still lives in Ian Kharma times with dinkeys in a treadmill to power the drills no doubt? He is still at primary school level and his clock is not ticking.
Clueless it may be time move on from Bots. Just filter him like everybody else hasā¦ he has nothing worth reading and is just here for his own amusement! As sad as that may sound!
As I said they can capitalise the interest for the first 18 months "The notes incur interest at 7.75% and the Company may capitalise interest for the first 18 months, thereafter, interest must be paid at each six-month anniversary of issue date. The notes expire on 24 January 2027, being 5 years after issue." But after 18 months it is a semi annual bond..
LOL! I had a feeling this is what you were alluding too... My god you are seriously thick... Have a look at the difference between a convertible note and a convertible bond (homework)... I look forward to you realising they are the same thing.. This is why I barely engage with you apart from when you give open goals like this, ok you do that a lot so on hindsight I do engage with you more than I would like xDā¦.
"In short, this current fund raise from sources in Botswana is by no means going to be easy to arrange".
BOTS 28th Feb 2024
āCorrect Bots re the convertible note, someone has been doing their reading! But until it converts to equity (if it does) its still a bond (and no when a bond is semi annual payments you don't add this to the final principal, they get paid semi annual coupons).... It can be thought of as a bond + an option as the holder has the "option" to convert to equity.. Let me know if this is dumbed down enough for you....ā
March 2022 - convertible note into shares at BWP 0.50 / 3.2 pence. No bond mentioned there.
May 23, November 23 - loans at 10 percent coupon convertible into shares 3.5 cents aussie.
Own goal !
So why are you talking about a Bond? Because I certainly never mentioned it.
One of the simplest products out there, honestly very simple hard to get wrong (or so I thought).. But then those who don't seem to have a clue got it spectaculary wrong... Those being the one that said this great quote...
"In short, this current fund raise from sources in Botswana is by no means going to be easy to arrange".
BOTS 28th Feb 2024
Really curious Capt Hindsight - why are you so fixated on 'Bond' ? Remind me.
I feel like we are doing your family a service :)... God they must beg you to come and spill your tripe on here...
"In short, this current fund raise from sources in Botswana is by no means going to be easy to arrange".
BOTS 28th Feb 2024
Sorry this quote still tickles me xD
Capt Cloooless Hindsight - he knows everything. Yet he knows and says nothing of interest.
We can do this all day long. I dont think my stamina has ever been questioned here
Lol why waste my time with you BOTS we tried remember.
1) You don't answer questions
2) You don't know how a simple bond works (my contribution was teaching you :)
3) you say stupid things like the below:
"In short, this current fund raise from sources in Botswana is by no means going to be easy to arrange".
BOTS 28th Feb 2024
Anyone else has a question will happily entertain if they want to know something....
By your child-like logic, every journey started and finished is easy.
Make a contribution here - go on, I dare you. Try - you never know, you might surprise yourself.
When are your pump and dump mates returning? Looking forward to seeing some old faces and names back. We can all make some money then, eh.
