You posted in answer to SpikeyJ:-
"(Dougal)has a complete difference of opinion to yours..."
Fair enough - but it's equally true to state that Dougal often has a complete difference of opinion with himself, if posts over the last month or so are anything to set store by.
Having said that, anyone is of course free to hold whatever opinion they like and to change it as often (and as radically) as they wish. And IMV Dougal's dogged determination has to be admired, regardless of how well-founded (or not) his views are.
doug, we don't "know" any such thing.
i have not seen any evidence at all that they
have been conducting BCT trials since '16/'17.
(NB given amit's history, i certainly don't count
amit saying something as evidence of veracity.)
personally, i doubt very much that they have
been doing anything at all, except for moving
money raised into safe havens outside UK. jmo.
So... I googled the acronym TSE. And according to Wikipedia, I was offered the following seemingly relevant options (amongst a few others):-
TSE - Testicular Self-Examination - Worth checking, because Amit's already made off with plenty that people can ill-afford to lose.
Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy - Mad cow disease and its human equivalent. Symptoms include depression, random actions, delusion and extreme confusion.
Treated Sewage Effluent - A politer version of what plenty of PIs have long thought about this company, its BoD, this share and its history.
I take it that none of the above were intended?
Hits. Try Trade Sale Exit :-)
Actually Dougal, CTAG aside, you are dead right about AIM IMO.
For every 5 LTHers of any AIM stock who do well, I reckon there's another 95 LTHers who do their shirts. That is exactly why the smart money on AIM works entirely on marginal gains and multiple flips in and out.
Trouble is, this type of strategy is usually accompanied by the most blatant and grotesque ramping on bulletin boards and social media, as day traders look to sell out into minispikes and leave the less wary/more naive holding the can. Undoubtedly a profitable strategy, but hardly the most honest - as far as holding PIs may be concerned.
You've been around CTAG long enough to remember a fair few of that exact type being very vocal back in the far-off days of CTAG being listed.
Good try? Sorry bud - you've lost me there?
I was actually agreeing with your "for the most part, AIM is for trading like there's no tomorrow" statement.
dougal, re your 16:00, what makes you think
that amit is working for/with a 'client', rather
than just lining his pockets? - do you have
any evidence, or just from your imagination?
dougal, i'm just asking you what evidence you
have for your assertion that amit is working
for a client rather than himself. (hardly madoff.)
does it say that somewhere on
ctag's website? i can't spot that.
or were you just making that up?
the millions were raised by amit as CTAG ceo
in order to fund CTAG. -- the suggestion that
thOSE millions were being raised for someone
else (a 'client') seems bizarre to say the least. if
the money was raised in order to go somewhere
else other than CTAG, then the RNSs were fibbing.
ah well, at least you have posted one true thing today.
indeed, i am not an investor in amit's private cayman
registered company. we can both be thankful for that.
'Actual daytime job' - this is getting silly now dougal. This has been discussed at length. An individual may have as many roles as they choose, if an individual is a director of two separate limited companies there is absolutely no cross liability or legal connection between those companies. It is the company that exists as a legal entity, the director is just an employee. You seem to be confusing Amit with a sole trader who by definition does everything in their own name. If someone worked for Tesco 9 to 5 and did a few shifts for Wetherspoons in the evenings does that mean the two companies are connected? And no, sharing the same serviced office address is irrelevant before you refer to that again.
a) why blame aim? Didn't cloudtag fail to deliver? It is years later and still nothing. I do agree aim is vile, but in my view that is due to companies like cloudtag.
b) why assume negative posters are short? I doubt there where many people short of cloudtag compared to the numbers of people that where negative about cloudtag. Given amit was reportedly phoning people up trying to sell shares, why wouldn't he have sold to the last remaining shorters if any approached him?
