As I have mentioned previously, I have been involved with BMN almost 3 years. During this period I have had the pleasure of know many of regular and not so regular contributors.
I have read all kind of description/analysis of the company from some very nice and decent shareholders but mostly from the diehard and fanatic supporters who under the pretend of LTH (not all of them) assume they have the right to be nasty and horrible to anyone who has a different opinion to their own.
Among them is a chief fanatic, once when BMN was a much smaller company he stated that in a night out with the CEO and some others he looked into his eyes and concluded that this is my man, an expert, a genius, a once of a life time opportunity in investing in this man. This was at the time when BMN more or less only had Iron ore!!!
Ordinarily I would not do this, I am exaggerating a bit in some aspects here but enough is enough with bullies. To counter balance all these sheity bully fanatics and the huge amount of misinformation they put out I would like to declare what I think of the management and fanatic Bullies here.
It is my opinion that so far the top management have the ability and/or mentality of a shopkeeper, almost similar attitude, similar expertise with little charisma or awareness of today’s power of communication, social media and shareholders interest.
I have not seen the attributes and charisma necessary to be able to successfully progress a small Aim company into a medium size FTSE 350 or so during the period we have been involved with BMN. We could well be waiting for another 2 years or more and the SP will probably still be struggling around 15 pence.
Over the last 20 years I have been involved with many companies as a shareholder, I have never seen any management who are so distant from the shareholders interest and agenda. The company has the credential/potential to be a household name yesterday. What a waste!!!! BMN has the assets, has everything needed to progress to a much bigger company if only people who run it truly understood how to use the available tools to them to the shareholders advantage.
While they appear not recognising the shareholder’s values, some say they are very generous to themselves by giving themselves high pay awards and huge shares options/incentives at very low prices.
I have come to a conclusion that we cannot just rely on reasonable fundamentals to win the day for us, or at least it hasn’t done so far.
We are told constantly that one day everyone will wake up and recognise the fundamentals of the company on how great this company is. Furthermore we are told that there is always one M.F seller who constantly selling at low prices to keeps the S.P down. It beats the sheit out of me why? Why always only BMN?
Anyhow, at the end of the day, I like nothing more than see the BMN S.P go north fast and furious. Multi £££ will be better. But I refuse to be a shiety Fanatic bully with a single cell for brain!!!!!!!!!
Every share I own the posters always say MMs playing games, large seller about etc, absolute rubbish.
Oh dear. Lunatics have taken over the asylum.
infested. What a shame.
ZQ33
Ironically your posts are quite bullying in themselves. I'm surprised that you didn't see that.
Well said ZQ33. I posted here a bit, but there was nothing but shouting down of contrarian views, and the board 'owners' acting as an abusive pack. I have seen this on other boards to an extent but nothing like this one - not even close.
I don't normally give up but did in this instance. You cant do much against keyboard warriors.
John instead of being yet another bully trying to target those who support BMN and who see the potential for this investment, why don’t you write something constructive about BMN.
You might then get reasonable responses from regulars who may know a lot more about this company than you do.
However please continue writing pointless and divisive posts if you think that helps your investment.
I agree Jagadish. It is hard to believe that ZQ33 doesn’t understand how bullying is the tone of their post.
I know a prat when I see one, and it ain't Pdub.
