At this rate they’ll breakeven 2029! Gla
What a surprise! Less stone in the ground and more cash in the bank! I'm guessing we have reached the winter quarry shut-down so there is at least a part order to fill when we re-open in the spring. Do we dare to dream?
Well done to Fox for this latest contract news.
But please Chris Gilbert - make my Christmas and get this share price up again and away from these sorry low levels.
And another contract
unvrkw, Trurotrader
Got to hand it to you 2, you certainly take the prize for keeping the faith!
John
Mines got a lot of cynical value plumbed in too. Holding through no choice, however I’ll probably sell at 50 pence
Hi John, I originally bought in April '17 and sold 2 years later because of the way the Kosovo government was acting. I said at the time it was a bit too wild west for me. I had £2.5k invested and lost about £800. I started buying back in Jan '20 when the government changed. Chris Gilbert gets my vote because he just keeps on swinging. Couple this with good stone and a low wage economy and I treat this as my 3.30 at Chepstow. I need about 2p to breakeven so I reckon I'm still well in the running!
Hi unvrkw, erm well yes, 50p is perhaps a possibility! Stone Alliance will have to be progressing well for that though.
Hi TT
As you will see I have joined your ranks.
If you remember I am a previous investor/ gambler/ fantasist here, I don't remember how long ago. Anyway this is just a small punt on a successful outcome of the litigation, I wont be adding further!
Yes John, litigation is the biggy but I think there's a fighting chance of the company pulling through anyway - it might just happen anyway! I think it hinges on freight rates and that is not within Fox's control so anything can happen. This is in truth a real gamble.
@johnpwh
Welcome back on board - just think, you've come back into FOX at the possible 'prize' level !
Some of us here have 'horrible' share purchase averages - mine's 7p and that's only because I bought several lots earlier this year at the 2p level - I agree with you TT, we're buying the faith that Chris Gilbert will finally turn this about. I hope his guardian angel is watching over him - we don't want anything to befall him.
dactions, TT,
Was in at about 10p maybe 4 years ago. I couldn't see it as other than a bargain. Then I saw that the most insignificant orders were being RNS'd, and watching interviews got the impression that CG was a very sincere, very likeable human being who was completely out totally out of his depth in the job so exited (no doubt at a loss). But always kept an eye open. I admit this is more gambling than investing, I think I have 100k shares, but its better than sitting in the pub drinking! The only hope imo is the legal claim, and the hope of the compensation being met in full is very unlikely. However even a negotiated settlement at a significantly lower level than claimed could provide a significant uplift in the SP.
johnpwr,
I too bought in in'17 and sold out in '19 because, as I said at the time, it was all a bit to Wild West for me. I manages to turn £5k into £3.4k! However following a change of government and Chris Gilbert still swinging I bought back in and stand in at about 2p a pop. Because I see this as a pure gamble I've accumulated some 750.000 Not exactly bet the farm but certainly a large paddock and a couple of pastures! Irrespective of the Court Case - which must have merit considering the quality of the legal team the biggy for me is falling container freight rates which should start to happen next year by the summer or so. My guess is that we will be as cheap as anybody with comparable quality stone. One other long term biggy is the Stone Alliance. If this comes off then we'll all be millionaires - but not next year Rodney!
Cushty, TT, lovely jubbly
