I agree, it only cost them £7,000 a small amount to repurchase considering they made £600,000 selling part of their THG investment. I wonder if they will be tempted to buy back in THG at the current low price.

If they are in takeover talks which is a strong consideration the directors will not be able to buy shares. If they are indeed in takeover talks and they cease perhaps then we will see news on a premium listing, strategy update etc.

I think the directors would be buying at these low levels if they could thats why I think something is brewing in the background.

Judging by some of the larger trades today this could be the week we finally get the funding.

That's with the current resource. With regards to Steve's comments at the AGM I think the resource will be upgraded quite substantially so there is a lot more potential. Then we have a pipeline of news to look forward to on the other projects which have understandably been neglected due to the focus on Bougouni. Exciting times once the finance arrives.

If someone cares to put out a video with regards to the latest RNS what is the problem with that? Any potential investor should always do their own research and if they choose to look at a chap in a hat talking about KOD I don't have a problem with that. With regards to family and friends they must have faith in my judgement as they come to me and ask what I'm holding. For the ones that got in sub 0.20 I'm sure they are happy to have done so.

Mafee. You are quite wrong with regards to my viewpoint. If potential investors are made aware of KOD what is the problem with that?

I have told quite a few friends and family to take a look at KOD and most of them have done their research and bought. What will get the share price moving is positive news flow not a few investors buying a few million shares.

Give the chap a chance. For most of us whom have been here for years we know the score with KOD but If he reaches out to new investors he gives them a balanced view.

I picked up another 2m this morning. Let's hope that this will be the weekend that we wouldn't want to be out.

Laverda. Yes you are quite right yet again and thank you for all the research you have done with regards to Kod it's very much appreciated. Hopefully it will be signed off in the next few weeks so the construction can commence.

Laverda, do you mean if another company wanted to make a move?

I suppose this still could happen.

They would have been better off extending the finalisation date by six months in the first place. The Malian Govt. is playing KOD like a puppet on a string. Let's hope this is the last one.

This has been traded by the insiders and is becoming a p*** Take.

The fact that there has been no director share purchases also points to an MBO. They would look a bit stupid if the bid was less than Apollo's. That really wouldn't fly, so 180 plus is still on.

Totally agree Laverda.

I picked a few more up today. I have a feeling next week could be the week.

I think the last thing Chapel Down want to do is to cheapen the brand image when working so hard to promote it. If anything they want to do more high end offerings. The masses have proseco and cava. There is no way an English wine company could compete against this market as the volumes are far too small. Chapel Down want to compete with the top Champagne houses. Do any of them have offerings for the masses?

The younger generation aren't really helping reverse climate change are they. Imagine all the extra white vans going back and forth. It's pretty hypocritical to say the least.

i am also a shareholder of dark an it's an absolute disgrace what happened. *****esential produced a bogus report after taking a big short for their own financial benefit. i personally think that mm buying city am was a master stroke. he will have a team of journalists who have the time to rake the muck up about the hedge fund managers.

well done mm i applaud you. i hope other ceo's come out and back you.

I hope all the negative posters on here were shorting KOD. It would be great to have a bit of a short squeeze. The mm's are keeping a large spread.

MM won't have to post his rants on linkedin any more. He will have a team of journalists to do that in a city paper. Excellent move.

Liberum have gone from 55 to 220. Perhaps Jefferies and Barclays will see the positives which will reveal themselves over the coming months and increase their targets to more sensible valuations like Liberum's.

The issue most probably started when canaccord were made joint broker. It would appear that it put sp's nose out of joint. Personally I think it was essential for KOD to engage the services of a renowned broker rather than some small town player like sp.

Another holding of mine, DARK had a short attack with a certain hedge fund accusing them of all sorts. They are up 30% today. It just goes to show that the hedge funds are often wrong. My belief is they are wrong here too.
