Just don’t get why those fools are here if they don’t own
So strange
Sukithedog I have never understood also why people who aren't invested criticise a company. Bill said to dodge a while back when he's father wasn't well most of us sent him good wishes but I feel dodge has took the piss out of us now after we wished his father well
Think we should all
Block
Ive never come across such strange individuals
Suki - the way I see it is that some get very disgruntled (with the s/p etc.) have a go at the management and then get attacked by those more positive so get even more bitter and even though they have no financial interest in the company - still attack it and anyone who sees the positives.
Obviously I am not happy with the s/p!, but I see progress and I have always seen the huge potential in the assets and still do. If I thought we would not multibag I would have sold out not increased my holding.
I hope and believe we will all make money out of VAST in the future.
I have been down more in several shares than I am with VAST and even though I had serious problems with the BoD of those companies I did not endlessly troll them - that takes someone "special". But hey it's an open BB each to their own - they don't bother me and I never filter anyone.
Zagra is doing fine Dodge - don't worry - These things take time and remember AP delivers 100%!
Yep couldn’t agree more castaway
Dodge simple question why do you feel the need to be on the vast board if you don’t hold ????
Dodge, AP has delivered 100% BP/Manaila/Zagra/Blueberry - you cannot say he has not delivered due to delays beyond his control - what has he not delivered?
If we get the Marange diamond contract will you agree with me?
AP has delivered SP from 0.6p to 0.115p. Can he do any better? 100% assets/liability and 70% reduction in SP. Fab job castaway - fab job.
castaway - "100% of nothing" is how much?? thats exactly what AP has delivered so far... AP is a joke so far. What happened to corporate restructuring BS.
dodge - there is a team working behind the scenes... every time there is a resolution or placements, there will be rumours of imminent news. Then there will be radio silence. Have been the trend in VAST for the last 18 months. One BS after another from VAST and there is no stopping it.
Remember when Baron got out of VAST?? :) Baron probably noticed it very very early and got out - just my guess.
Fantasy - you amuse me, 100% of nothing?
Why did you invest in VAST? PP was it - everything else is 100% AP.
You contradict yourself - if you think it was a bad investment in VAST it was your choice - your decision - you blame everyone but yourself.
I have said since AP took over - it's the AP show - if you don't approve of him or his style you could have got out 18 months ago.
I am very confident my decision to buy into VAST and hold as much as I ever have - you're the one who is doubting your judgement, I am not!.
castaway - you should say, 100% of BS. Well, you had been confident and over the same period vast was down by 70%. GL
Dodge u do not hold
You have axe to grind simple
How many companies have near term fcf in terms of BP type asset ??
Diamonds is coming 100000%
You don’t hold fact
Dodge I have over 50m
Paid RAMPER who u are desperate like your merry band of men who we All know have an agenda
Dodge , VJ11 , TbTT .
I suppose we can expect to see you at the next GM or AGM of vast, your all constantly seeing and stating negatives. Now surely someone who feels that bad about AP and Vast would either sell up or attend and make themselves known and bring up their disappointment , this has been going on for months with you guys and you have had plenty of opportunities to do this but elect to resort to constant outbursts on here. I think that says it all .........
excellent point lee - yes dodge , tbtt and bj11 see you at you lot at the next gm mugs
bottling the GM - you are a fake FACT PAID DERAMPER
lee - your standards has fallen? anyone challenges or being negative should attend GM or AGM? or sell up? Is that correct? wow...
Lee Morris!
I'm not a Vast shareholder any longer, so no I won't be turning up to the next GM needed to approve the next share issue here. As I've written previously, I sold out of Vast at 0.18, put the money in Bacanora at 13p, sold at around 27p, and so I've made up almost all of my losses here.
I hope I'm wrong for the sake of all genuine shareholders, but I regard Vast as pretty much a lost cause.
You really need to reflect on your own actions here, which (IMO) have been disgraceful. Even possibly illegal if you are UK resident - in "marketing" the direct investment into (the absolutely worthless) Blueberry Project the way you did on this board, you would have a lot to explain to the FCA.
Ha Ha Fantasy , My standards have fallen :-).
Think about the way these guys and yourself are acting on a daily basis, constant moaning about the past in Vast. Now Vast investors are looking to the future and if you guys are not happy then the only logical solution is to either sell or ask questions face to face with the people who run this company. ( i fully understand some of the comments but what i dont understand is the constant reiteration of the same things, if you have a problem get it answered)).
No matter what intelligent posters put on here they cannot give you all the answers you so desperately need , so going over and over the same things is not helping anyone at all. SO like i say go speak to the BOD ....
Lee - thanks for acknowledging the standards.. I had been vocal here - will continue to be.
I will continue to tell to people who asks current shareholders to sell and move on.. please please.. if you love this company that much, buy it and take it private. If you cannot take it private then please shut up and put up. Same language as "sell and move on". No difference.
Speaking to BOD? I have. But wish I haven't. I have kept my 1/3 holding after hearing more BS from BOD. Wish I haven't spoke to BOD and sold my remaining 1/3rd above 0.4p. You see, where attending GM and AGMs - one is going to hear the same BS again and again. Some choose to not to attend. :)
AP hasn't delivered all what he had promised. AP delivered - mercuria T1 and BP licence. But look at the SP 0.115p - SHAMBLES in VAST continues.
Still waiting to see, corporate restructuring which was promised after selling the only revenue generating asset!
Fantasy
Fantasy , we obviously have a difference of opinion on vast moving forward which is fine. But we both bought into vast because we think or thought it was a good investment, True?.
Our opinions have diverged significantly during this roller coaster of a ride , it seems some including yourself are continually looking backwards (which is fine if you want to take this outlook) but others like myself can see what is being achieved and the vision moving forward after the terrible mess locking up funding and assets ect by the old CEO RP. For the sake of it lets see what happens over the coming period then we will see who has made the correct call. I am mature enough to accept your stances regarding vast , lets keep it mutual and see what happens?.
I'm always carrying at least a couple hundred readies and usually more. There's plenty of lowlife who sell stuff for rent or drug money so that I can get a good deal if I have ready sovs to hand to them.
I've acquired an SVT-40 and lots of extras for about a grand, several AKs at under £400 apiece, a good deal on silver at about 2/3 of spot, and back seat full of ammunition for £800.
I didn't even have to bargain with any of the people. They set the price, I peel off some cash, and we go our separate ways.
Hi Lee - put this way, I have wasted time and money in VAST. Have written it off. I don't post as much as I used to. My view on VAST and AP will only change - based on delivery and SP performance. GL
