As the coronavirus situation continues to change, we’ve got more on the big stories that you need to know.
Look out for fake lockdown fine texts
A fake coronavirus warning text is being circulated. The sinister scam claims that your movements have been monitored through your phone, and that you must pay a fine or face a more severe penalty.
If you receive the text, do not click or tap any links that these messages ask you to.
Two men get caught having sex with the sultans's daughter in the Bedouin camp. The sultan asks each one to find and get 20 pieces of fruit as a punishment. The first guy comes back bringing dates. Sultan orders him to stuff them one at a time up his arse. As he is doing this he is laughing. Perplexed, the sultan asks why are you laughing?
He replies "my friend is bringing coconuts".
Can't beat the old ones.
Little Johnny sitting in class at school when the teacher asks everyone to make a sentence with the word contagious in it. Of course the teacher asked for other volunteers to give their sentences first, and they all showed they grasped the meaning of the word, but eventually, with Johnny's hand still held up, she asked for his sentence. Johnny says, "I hid my brothers TV remote in his bedroom, and it took the contagious to find it".
Well, the same lad, he's been in the legion for going on a year now, he gets tasked to give security to a documentary team doing a film on insects in the oasis. One of the team is a really hot girl who takes a shine to our lad and lets him know it. When they finish filming for the day she comes up to him and tells him she'll do anything that takes his fancy. He says, "thanks very much, you couldn't hold this camel still for five minutes for me could ya".
Maxdoom . I also recieved my 5p cheque in the post , in these difficult times were all in,with the huge shortige of toilet roll i put my cheque to some use , plus did my bit for re cycling ,
Bob saw his doctor and asked if he had ever laughed at a patient.
"In over 20 years I haven't because I try to remain professional."
With that Bob dropped his trousers revealing the tiniest dick the doctor had ever seen. It wasn't any bigger than a AAA battery.
The doctor burst into uncontrolable hysteria. "I'm sorry I really am, I don't know what came over me, I promise it won't happen again. Now what seems to be the problem?"
"It's swollen" said Bob.
Young lad joins the French Foreign Legion for a bit of adventure, and after training gets posted out to his batallion in the desert. After a few days he asks what everyone does for sex, there's no town nearby. One of his platoon tells him that the batallion muster at 0530 hours every morning and they have sex with the herd of camels in the oasis about two miles away. "There's no bloody way I'm doing that, that's disgusting" says the lad. But after a few days he comes round and turns up at the 5:30 muster. The Sgt Major shouted out, "On your marks, go", and everyone started running, jogging at first, but increasing pace steadily as they got closer to the oasis and the camels, eventually starting to sprint. "What the feck are we running for" shouts the lad to a guy next to him, to which he gets the reply, "Well, you don't wanna get an ugly one, do ya".
I rarely posted here but I too made my first investment based on local sentiment for the project and I did so with funds I could only just afford to lose and those funds were garnered through a work accident payout... 27p was when I bought in and i thought I had outdone my stepdad who invested at 39p as i thought I was buying the dip as they say.
Not that I thought I would lose capitol of course but I listened to my stepdad and someone I knew that worked as an investment consultant plus little more than reading an article or two on investing and poly4 as a thing ... and look at how that worked out!
That said I did average down to 13.4p but my stepdad left it at 39p not wanting to play any games and all I can say to that is at least he can afford to lose many more thousands than i could not particularly afford to lose but did.
But hey ho, I view it as the cost of an education. One that put me in EUA, after a nudge in it's direction thanks to someone on this board, and 11 others holdings I have and continue to hold. Now I am going to assume indulging in a bit of, what some would call, cross ramping on a delisted busted flush should not raise too much ire so here goes. DYOR on EML, TRX and UFO.
EML is a potential potash miner with longterm 3 year EBITDA, assumed without further dilution, of £2.96 (not my calculation but https://twitter.com/emmerson_plc/status/1219575142495461376 for ref).
TRX, medical sector, faces funding issues like SXX as cash runway ends by 2nd weeks end of May as it stands, which is strangely specific, however the company actually has revenue on in demand products with a capacity to ramp up production thanks to a new facility being brought online to meet demand. But Covid. Of course.
As for UFO, AIM junior miner, they have proven Iron assets in Oz (scoop it and dumb it 60% Fe + ore) and is looking to prove up silver and gold assets in Mexico. Also they have recently done a placing to raise 700k so cash in bank for a microcap in these times of Covid annnd. A possibility of PGM being present as well as per recent RNS claims. Although no idea how much I hasten to add but ho boy. Could that one get interesting in year or twos time should assets get proven up even without meaningful PGM presence.
Now all that said I am not in profit with the 3 holdings mentioned but have been at least once since investing in the past 6 months, but again, Research. Evaluate your own risk and spread that risk out once you do know what your risk tolerance is. Heck. If I had more money I would be chasing FTSE 250 divis and not AIM punts...
So basically this is a response to show that while many have lost here not all have to lose overall with the funds they now find available to them. It all depends on risk tolerance and given recent market volatility there are some absolute gems out there. But as I once read someone on this board somewhere, somewhen.
"I am asset rich but capitol poor".
GLA.
MaxDoom, so the £1 party is back on, lol.
I just received my 5p (that's right a 10% rounding down) for the single share I separated into certificate form for the votes.
I take pleasure knowing that..... the 5p cheque will have cost them printing, postage and bank fees .... maybe I got my £1 share after all :)
Hi Rosewall.
Thank you for the information.
My Barclays Smart Investor account continued to show my Sirius shares until yesterday afternoon when they were suddenly removed and replaced by cash. At least X-O showed that they had received the cash but it was not yet available for reinvestment, and in my opinion that was the better customer friendly procedure.
A backpacker is hopelessly lost in the Australian outback. He's been walking for days, out of water and resigned to his fate when he stumbles across a remote Aboriginal settlement called Mersey. He asks for water and is told that there isn't any. "How do you survive ? " he asks. "We drink a tea made from Koala urine mixed with some herbs" answers the man. He is offered some and drinks gratefully. "How on earth can you keep drinking this stuff ?" asks the backpacker. " It's disgusting and has the consistency of thick sludge." The man replies, "That's because the Koala tea of Mersey is not strained".
Romanes ite Domum.
Hi Archways,
My ISA is with X-O. I could see two amounts on my screen. One was my cleared funds that were available for trading. The second was a pending transaction which is just letting you know that it has arrived and they are just processing it. The funds were cleared for investing the next day.
I have just checked my accounts and I have been paid the 5.5 due in, total I have lost £81,000 so it is time for me to stop trading as I was born in 1942. I have enjoyed reading this page over the years good luck to you all. Cheers Geoff.
Hmm I had my SXX held in an ISA, they disappeared last week but still no cash?
Why is this pile of crap still open? Why do these people still have jobs? Why have they walked away from this smelling of roses? Hope they fail
Money was cleared and in my account as viewed on line
Bill and Marla decided that the only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon quickie with their 10-year-old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony and order him to report on all the neighborhood activities.
The boy began his commentary as his parents put their plan into operation.
"There's a car being towed from the parking lot,"he said.
"An ambulance just drove by."
A few moments passed.
"Looks like the Anderson's have company," he called out.
"Matt`s riding a new bike and the Coopers are having sex."
Mom and dad shot up in bed.
"How do you know that?" the startled father asked.
"Their kid is standing out on the balcony too,"
Came home after serving abroad for a few months and went down my local pub at lunchtime, the barman recognised me and said, "Hi, how are you, what you having". I said, "Cheers mate, thanks very much, I'll have a pint of Stella". The barman looked at me puzzled and said, "No, I'm not offering you a free drink, I just wanted to know what you wanted". There was a bloke, turned out to be a solicitor, sitting next to me at the bar, and he said to the barman, "hold on, you've just made a verbal contract, you offered and he accepted, you owe him a pint of Stella". The barman eventually calmed down and gave me the pint before telling me, "ok, drink that and then you're banned from coming in here again, I can ban anyone I want". I accepted this, drank up and left. That night I went on a pub crawl with my mates, and guess where we ended up, back at my local, and guess who was serving at the bar, and guess whose round it was. I went up to the bar, and immediately the barman said, "I thought I told you that you were banned at lunchtime". I said, "no, must have been someone else". He said, "it was you". I said, "no, not me", and this went on repeatedlybefore he said, "You must have a double then". I said, "Cheers, make it a Whiskey".
Two elderly women sitting in the waiting room at the hospital while their husbands are having tests done in the ward. Eventually one of the doctors comes out and tells them there's been a bit of a mix up with the labelling of the tests, and that one of their husbands has got Alzheimer's and the other has got a bad dose of a sexually transmitted disease, but it's impossible to tell which is which. The women look at each other and then the doctor, and one asks, "whatever should we do?", to which the doctor replies, "Well, on the way home, drop your husbands off a few hundred yards from where you live, and which ever one finds his way home don't let him f'ck you.
If there’s an Aussie in charge, I’m keeping my money in my pocket. Just my opinion.
Really appalling outcome as we know. BOD acted to achieve stretch objectives ,without challenge by internal members. Largely a 3 auzzie team all running without balance. Last FD must have challenged CF and been shown the door .
Not an honest game here methinks.later stage a total set of clouds . We will see where it goes ,but their part in this will be forever there. Karma...
Well folks, my work here is done as Barclays has now converted my 0.5 million shares to cash in my account.
It's been an eventful and educational 5 months following my first emotionally inspired venture into the wicked world of stock market investments, and, I'm not sure I'll do it again even though I was one of the lucky ones that came out on top.
So many good people invested in good faith and were severely let down by those manipulative market makers and promisers of profit, but that is the nature of the beast apparently.
Hopefully those that did lose out will not lose hope and will be able to put it behind them and go on to live a happier life and not beat themselves up over something that has also affected many others.
Good luck to all and if you play on then don't play with more than you can emotionally afford to lose.
Hi Old Rascal.
Thank you for your advice, but don't worry. I am prepared to take risks with part of my investment funds.
I accept that it was jonesrichard who drew my attention to Greatland, but I have been reading its chat board since then and I am happy to try to recover my Sirius losses via Greatland.
Catch up with me in a year's time and let us see whether 4.585p was a profitable entry point into Greatland.
