Indeed RK, Hand of God indeed!!
Argies chests...I could never understand why some folks thought Maradona was a great player!? Anyone can play hand ball:)
Only with the hand of God or a Beckham flick and a dodgy referee...
I do agree with you, but to be honest am growing a bit tired of what Scott says or does as it's usually contradictory or confusing in some way.
What are we? We are an explorer that doesn't explore. What are we? We are a developer that doesn't develop. What are we? We are a business that is conserving cash but still burns $70m in a year.
What are we under Scott?? We are a complete and utter mess. He picked up a business that was in fine shape. And turned it into a zombie mess. End of. He needs to go. He's not CEO material... he's just Bob's puppet.
As ever Fort, you don't know if something's been denied or not. You are simply projecting your own jaundiced view.
My point is, SC made a an important claim and I'd have liked to see some evidence to back it up. Something I'd have thought you wouldn't disagree with.
Sixpence None The Richer today ?
What an investment !
Typo
The Argentinians barged into the Falkland islands..
Add, I totally agree with you regarding the need for Solg provide more details on the opportunities so that we can be better informed.
Like I posted before, it's a choice of being diluted. Either by BHP, or by Solg. Hence, I voted against 10, 11 and 12.
Steady on NAL, I was never a fan of Mrs. T. Indeed, it was her pole tax which prompted my emigration to Canada. But the Argentinians barged I to the Falkland islands and Britain could not be expected to sit back and accept that. I supported her response, and her sinking of the Belgrano was the icing on the cake for me!! Can you imagine a Britain where we were beaten by Argentina?
Stackem. Didn't she also support the leader of Westminster council, who evicted Labour council tenants and move in tory tenants.
I believe thatcher recommended her for a dame.
And then after her demise, an enquiry was launched and the dame dissapeard to Israel..
I used to be a bit of a political animal in my other life. And followed thatcherism.
The woman was more dangerous than trump.
When she was the most unpopular pm in history, she encouraged the Falklands invasion.
Ask any dead servicemens families what they think of thatcher, or textile worker, or miner. The salt of society. Not some money grabbing yuppy who got rich on there misery
As with everything solg it's to force the hand of any suitor.
Adikt. I'm not sure if your on drugs.
But do you not think, your last two posts demonstrate clearly why us doubters are doubters
Your making our argument for us.
What could possibly be of 'good news' that would come from allowing the Board to issue as many shares as they like and to anyone they like? Seriously... it's dilution and it's never very good. The irony is... Scott and co have been saying that they want to avoid 'dilution'. Hence the royalty deal or deals to come.
It's not really an important week or meeting at all when a special meeting can be called by management or shareholders anytime they like.
If BHP got hold of Newmonts stock, they could call a special meeting and table motions to remove the BoD's or so on. If SOLG had anything important to convey to shareholders, then they just need to spell it out and organise a special meeting. The annual one is the obvious one... but it's not the only opportunity.
So nothing has been denied to shareholders... that's nonsense. If they wanted to present it, they could at anytime.
Smick, yes, it is - along with the rest of us. But the question is, what strategic moves have been denied to us?
If they were truly of significance to us retail investors and given the board is seeking our votes, why not demonstrate what it is we've missed out on? It may have persuaded a few of the doubters.
Add, I'm just guessing here but is this a threat to dilute our major investors?
Prediction: The ordinary resolutions will pass, but the Special will not receive the required 75% approval.
It's interesting Caldwell said that over the past few years various value-enhancing strategic initiatives had been stymied by the failure to pass the dis-application resolution. If this is the case, why hasn't he provided some details so that shareholders may be in a better position to understand what he has in mind and why the resolution is so important?
thatcher was popular because of north sea oil, privatisation of public assets, including council houses and the falklands war. some did very well out of that. the working class was given homes, we all had cheap energy, the jingoistic could feel proud.
the offshoring was just part of a larger western move, including the us, uk and europe, as the financial / capital class squeezed out labour / labour, unions were crushed and credit, fiat money and derivatives / re-hypothacation of assets really took off.
the birds are really coming home to roost, as we realise that a small elitist class has grabbed all the loot and stashed it in the bvi, whilst the majority of the country is turning into a chav hell ( been to blackpool recently ) and we have decimated the industrial base so that the uk cannot even make weapons to defend itself, with an army that can fit inside wembley, and now with no weapons left. ( not that having a small and ineffective mic is a bad thing, but the uk is still trying to strut around like a world power, whilst the rest of the world s******s at us behind our backs )
but every government, tory and labour, since ( and blairite 3rd way was more destructive to the british way of life than thatch ever was ) has not tried to reverse this and is happy to let it continue and accelerate.
good luck uk, you're gonna need lots of it. look at the fall of the spanish empire and subsequent centuries of suffering and emiseration to see our future.
Absolutely right, nal, but simpletons who read the Daily Mail cling to her memory like a life raft. Most, slug included, haven't stopped to judiciously reflect on her economic record of decimating industry here in the UK. And then they post rubbish about GDP improving relative to other countries under Thatcher, which we can at least agree I have now put to bed.
As for the early start, I like a quiet gym and a freshly-roasted slug at this time.
Stack. It's about 6 in the morning there. Have you got obsessive behaviour issues.
Let people have there marmite on toast in peace.
Nobody gaf.
She's been dead for years.
Slug, these little anecdotes are charming, but the data clearly shows that the UK's position in a list of countries by GDP dropped during Thatcher's time in office as PM. You chose the metric as a means to highlight her economic stewardship. You got caught lying, and your 'loadsa money' stories can't change that. Please, look again at the simple data I've posted to prove you wrong. If there's any part of it you don't understand, just ask. Otherwise, stop embarrassing yourself and wasting everyone here's time.
Forget the usual suspects...this mine will be bought by a US company. Geopolitically the US is on the rise in LATAM. Millei, Lula, Boularte, Noboa and Petro are all aligned. With the Chancay port in Peru, Biden needs to poke a finger in the eye of the Chinese.
Of course price always wins but I expect a security alignment with Ecuador where the DEA are invited back in. This weekends raids were the start. That intelligence was an offering.
Hard to believe that the kidnap of the British Consul in Guayaquil is not linked to the Guyana oil conflict (albeit verbal so far). Remember Venezuela is an ally of Cuba and Russia. CIA are all over Peru and Ecuador so let's pick on a Commonwealth state and draw the UK in.
Whatever the state of play, US influence is on the rise, especially in Ecuador and a US play for our asset cannot be ignored.
GLA
This is US vs China full stop IMHO. 2024 is our year🙂
1984. You've got more to offer this board, than to spend time arguing with muppets.
The only thing stack high is high on is the list of muppets.
Don't become another novice or quady.
Absolutely correct smickster.
Still not plain sailing as adikt and co would have us believe.
At least some of the more sober posters are now responding to the whole interview, not just the jam tomorrow.
We did rise to third in the eighties. I will find the data for you.
Anyone who thinks we went down under thatcher is a sandwich short of a picnic. Never was there a time where people with skills, ambition and drive could make so much money in recent times.
Anybody who works for more than mere survival these days is just propping up an ever ballooning pool of unskilled immigrants and dossers.
I was too young to benefit from thatchers eighties. I doubt such a chance will ever come our way again
Drake , you are very boring , fed up reading the same lines from you for the past 6 weeks. Looking forward to the fresh narrative one the agm is over , and Scott is still in.
Just one more week of your inane drivel.
Smickster, good job that SOLG have great metals mix/basket to offer as a pure copper play carries more risk for obvious reasons. Alpala's mix of PM's is a smelters dream. SOLG is not a pure copper play at all.
That's what makes it very very attractive. Never any doubts about the asset... which begs the question over the tools trying to sell it. Like I said... in simple terms... just stick it on ebay and watch them scrample to buy it. For some reason out BoD's seem reluctant to roll the dice but bet ya that when 157m shares find a new home, they'll move like Jagger.
We went down under Thatcher. That's the point. You claimed we rose to third. The data shows we dropped. What's happened since isn't part of the stupidity of yours that I'm exposing. You said the proof of the pudding was our GDP success.
You lost the argument. Again.
