My finger on the button that day.....but i held on as usual. D'oh. I actuslly had the quoye and buy button up at .422 i wish i clicked. Then watchen the slide down as we made the 1m placing for no reason and watched karim pay it out to himself. Not content with that he went to warrants for more pay. Just sayin
Now that you don't work you'll be going to the AGM to ask your questions? Will I see you there this year?
Sounds like you need to calm down, don't get so tetchy. I'm only responding as you were posting. Not focussing on you as you will see I was commenting on Kenners post which you latched onto. Just relax, if you've been here since 2012 you'll be happy with the progress. After all it was an obvious sell on the spike up to 0.4p.
Cause i know what karim has invested your money in, what has Cc done with his bit ?
Call me what you like pal. The likes of you are shepp who followed the like of rampers such as cc in here. I bet your not in profit now. For your information im not working so im free to post here. Again why are you focusing on me? Im aski g genuine questions about this company. That is what this board is for. Not childish pokes at peoples names or when theu post or what they do etc. Ive earnt my money and invested it here. What the hell are you doing posting on here with no input on the actual facts of the share.
Perhaps if you were that bothered you'd have managed to go at least once in 5 years. Obviously now you post on here during work hours you're not that busy. Always amuses me how keyboard warriors never manage to actually ask their questions face to face given the opportunity.
The company doesnt reply to correspondence and the broker owns 10% (beaufort) so are biased
To the agm once when i worked in london. I couldnt make it. All relolutions were passed lol. I couldnt have voted anyway as my sares are held through ii
The interview where he told us there is no news. Lol. I bet we paid first class travel and expenses for him to go there and tell us. Zaks cafe aint no chippy
Fair enough, so if you've been here five years, have you asked those questions at the AGM?
About zaks cafe ? Im an investor here not a zak mir follower. I shoukd be kept informed by the company not zak mir interviews
For the last two years....total over 300k? Correct me if i am wrong New investment ?
When Zaf did his interview with Zak Mir, questions could be sent in to be asked. A couple of mine were asked. Did you send in that question for Zaf to answer?
To be travel expenses. Were do they go. What do they buy.
Will this end?Can't the big institutions have a word. This payment to the board for doing nothing. They are bleeding us dry.
Teavel expenses....now new investments in years. Save 50k in mannas where we hear nothing
We have here is that we make no money yet pay the board over 200k in pay each year through increased pay and warrants. Between two directors. We had sold gold investments at a loss shortly before they doubled in value, sauing we are to concentrate on core investments, then 6 months later we "INVEST" in 5% of mannas gold for 50k. Then we tell shareholders nothing of that investmebt for at least another 6 months. In the meantime no one knows what happened to Bosques where we hold 40% !! No news on that for over 2 years now. Do we still even own it ? This is not an investment firm this is a directors benefit shell
Over 5 years now
Ken, what on earth has Soup said in his post that implies he supoorts the board? LEG is a one-trick pony We will only get rich if VS succeeds. If you havent the patience to wait, sell up and move on. We could have a much better board to run LEG and they could be more transparent. If everyone did their own research before buying a share they would know this, so there is no point in whinging after the event. And before you have a dig back go and read my post on Zaf back in Feb. Signed Sam The No1 ramper of LEG and lover of Zaf 🍉
Not sticking up for the board, I have my criticisms, but to some here display the classic symptoms of amateur small pi's. They think that contract wins should pump the price and expect results within absurdly short time frames, they don't read the balance sheets to understand whether a company actually does make money from its existing contracts and they fall in love with the story they want to unfold, not the story that is actually unfolding. If you don't have the patience then investing in high risk small private companies is not the game for you. Go to the bookies if you want instant results.
SL79 I'm not trashing what you think, just asking you to prove your theories. I took your comment of me, selling lemons and melons at my chippy, as banter and used the same media to draw attention to the latest dilution. That is as near an apology you will get from me but if you or anyone else posts inaccurate or unproven information, I will challenge it. Believe it or not there are people who will invest on what they read on a BB and I’d like this one to be accurate as possible. I've no idea who or why someone has called in their warrants, a ‘ramper’ would say they are positioning themselves to make a killing, a ‘de-ramper’ would say there is some underhand dealing going on. Of course, it could be neither and that is the fun, for me, of dealing in shares. Sometimes I win other times I lose (for the record, right now, I'm drawing with LEG) but each time I learn a little more, always laugh and move on. 🍉
Believe somebody has the audacity to stick up for this board. You always get them, but for this board. Sorrrryyyy
The problem we have here is that small pi's have invested in LEG which is basically a one trick pony with its holding of VS. Also most small pi's don't have the patience to invest in private companies which only report once a year in a very limited fashion. If you believe in VS then you'll be here for a duration of years not months. They have the contracts, now they need to make money from them. The sp will not move until they can prove the contracts are profitable.
Problem we have here is the shareprice doesn't matter to the ceo. He will sit and wait and get paid for as long as it takes for vs to go public. I think we should all remember the ceo s name for future investments.
They date back to 11 august 2010!!, originally given for 30k loan facility from four investors. ,260m were granted. The date of exercise was strangely extended to august this year. A cool 250k to be made if they are off loaded in the 0.2 region we seem sat at.
