Member Info for 15LIVES

They're doing a live report on radio 4 now about the northern powerhouse. Hope we get a mention.

Mentioned in the FT and tipped in Investors Chronicle. All helps. Oh and some fool thingy. Better not give that one much credence though.

VinInTheBin I've just put you on my Christmas card list. What you have said may sound a tad over the top to some but I think it's a fair overview of where we are with Sirius. Whatever ones exposure it really should be at this stage a do or die approach.

Dub88 Take no notice of any insults or negative replies. Being a lawyer you're no doubt used to it. I for one shall be grateful for any feedback. Call 'em though. Sod the e mails. Get on the blower. Regards.

Would appreciate any feedback Dub88. Thanks.

Dub88 I don't request this sarcastically for it is a genuine comment / request. If I was an investor here and a lawyer by profession with queries such as you have I'd be calling our head office to see if they could give me some clarification. I've called them a few times over the past few years to query a couple of things regarding quarterly updates and such like. I have no legal qualifications or experience in contractual agreements so would be out of my depth approaching anyone. However, I can from experience assure you that all contact is met politely and with an overwhelming willingness to enlighten should they be able. Regards.

John42 Have you been watching abandoned engineering on the yesterday channel by any chance? Can't believe you have asked what the company have been doing for the past six months. At the risk of asking the obvious but do you really think that Sirius are the share for you at this stage of their cycle? It's still June. No TorPs have been promised by the end of this month. Stage 2 all debt has not been guaranteed. Many hurdles yet to still be surmounted. We're building a God damn mine in a national park. Those anywhere on the spectrum ranging from slightly concerned to absolutely bricking it should be considering their positions here and whether Sirius is really for them.

Rekrab No need for deep breaths here. I'm that relaxed with Sirius I'm almost comatosed. I'm even contemplating as you are and buying some more. Something I told myself way back I wouldn't do anymore.

Rekrab I thought for a second you were going to say that it said on the back of the stone "Buy Sirius". With all due respect what and where is this storm to which you refer? Trying buying (not) a share at £3.40 and over the following 18 months watching it steadily drop to 29p! Now that was one hell of a storm in my stock market forays. For yonks now most of us have been talking on here about how we have to hold our nerve awaiting TorPs and stage 2 funding. We've been talking the talk and now we're coming towards the end of the referred to month of June re bank letters it's time for us to walk the walk. Not necessarily contributors here, but other investors may be finding that a tad difficult. I don't class a slight penny or two drop on the volumes we have anything to worry about. Nothing has changed here whatsoever. Absolutely nothing at all. Sirius was never and still isn't a share for widows and orphans. We all know that. We can all talk about having nerve, believing and having balls of steel when the crunch time is a year or six months away, but the true test of one's financial mettle is when we are staring right into that barrel such as we are now. That may sound a tad melodramatic but in effect that's where we are with Sirius at the moment. It doesn't surprise me one iota that at this time the share price is having a slight twitch. The question investors have to ask themselves is do they really really believe CF shall pull off that which they want or have they been kidding themselves for the past several months when they told themselves he could. Squeaky bum time for some. For others as we were.

SBMGB Thanks for that link. What a fantastic uplifting feeling it gives to be part of something like this. Really proud to be invested here and to have taken up my open offer last year to have helped this along. I proudly showed the video to my ageing mother who knows absolutely nothing about investments, but whose razor sharp eye and phenomenally accurate first assumptions is well known in our family. Upon seeing CF for the first time I was mightily relieved to hear her say ' he's got an honest face. I'd trust my money with him son'. This is after in recent months her scathing reposte when shown pics of Carillon BOD and only yesterday photos of House of Fraser executives. 'Will he make you a million son?' added my mom. 'I hope so mom. Time shall tell.' 'Well if he does and I'm still around you can buy me a bungalow.' Here's to Fraser and the team and my mom's ever accurate first impression.

NoEasy Better not mention the title as may get me banned from here. It's a thriller. Regards.

NoEasy Really enjoyed your post. I find having patience in things that require patience almost meditative the older I get (deep I know and slightly ironic as time is the one thing you have less of with experience). Give me a flat pack or instructions for anything else requiring patience and within five minutes I'll be slinging it through a closed window in frustration. And yet give me a company like Sirius and I can (have) sat back happily for years just watching it slowly inching its way to that end goal. I'm enjoying the ride as much as I'm sure I'll enjoy the fruits of my patience. I think my patience comes from my sheer unwavering belief in the end result being a sure certainty, shored up by the experience of time under ones belt. On my study desk I have an Inuit stone within which there is the carving of a snail, bought many years ago on a trip to Canada. I look at it often as it symbolises the rewards eventually bestowed upon those with patience who are prepared to let time take its course. I always seem to pick it up and reflect on its native symbolism whenever Sirius makes a major announcement, my thoughts turning to that eventual first shipment of our product and with me at the quayside seeing it on it's way. I know my little snail works because for the best part of 18 years, whilst holding down a regular job and dealing with all of life's hurdles, it oversaw me in the writing of a book I'd always longed to do. Most nights it was just a paragraph or two I would complete with my Inuit snail reminding me of how patience can achieve anything. Eventually I succeeded and the patience given to that has helped fund my investment in Sirius. We're all on the cusp of our patience being rewarded here. Exciting times are upon us. It's great to just sit back and enjoy the ride.

SBMGB As far as I'm concerned there are no negative doubts creeping into my mind. My thoughts and views are what they have been for a long time. Us who tread a little more carefully, warily and circumspect than others have always been here with our eyes wide open even, nay especially, being fully loaded. It's just that our thoughts have been a tad quiet of late.

Dickyboy There is indeed a belief amongst some that Torps and stage 2 as all debt are a done deal. It's a dangerous mindset to adopt as an investor and one potentially leading to hubris. It's amazed me the talk of Fraser having supposedly promised no further dilution. The reality is far different. I mentioned this a while back in one of his official statements where he words it quite differently. It's only a word but one that is there on the company's website should investors choose to scrutinise it. I can't recall the statement verbatim and don't have access to it at the moment but it's there. If overlooked and stage 2 does involve some dilution it still won't stop some investors of accusing Fraser of lying like with Stage 1 (which of course he didn't). Sirius as we know is at a critical and exciting time. It's a time for investors to be realistic, fully aware of what really has been promised and with a readiness to be surprised (both pleasantly and concerningly). Personally, despite what I've heard of the AGM voices, I still think our man may secure finance without further TorPs.

Fred No sleepless nights here for this long term holder. That's the difference between investors and speculators as they say: investors sleep at night. I'm fully loaded here as I've admitted before and just letting CF and the team get on with things. I haven't even managed to catch up with the AGM happenings other than through this BB as I'm on holiday out in the sticks with only my wind up phone. Thanks to all those who commented on it as I very much appreciated it. Your investment in Sirius and belief in CF to make this happen is as strong as my own. However, and I mean this concerningly for your future wealth, as exciting and potentially life-transforming as this share is, don't lose sight of the potential for things to go wrong. By that I don't mean the mine won't get built but more the path we have to take to get there. No share at this stage in its cycle is such a certainty to say to yourself that you would invest more of your money in a plan B if you don't even know what that plan is and the failure of plan A caused the share price to drop so as to rely on plan B. I've been in here now since before Fraser and like many on here have the utmost faith in him to deliver. But I don't believe he is infallible and despite my confidence in him to deliver I would not hesitate for a second in selling all of my holding should things suddenly look different. What I am saying is don't get emotionally attached to a share to the extent of telling yourself to keep pouring your hard earned in no matter what. Hopefully my caution shall be thrown aside by a soon to be announced series of off takes and stage2 as we all hope. Believe but don't let down the guard to your wealth. Regards, 15Lives

Paaa That can't be right. You've got the wrong order there. I bought 57 shares also but I got a tin of Heinz beans.

Dayt It surely will drop if we have more dilution, and quite significantly too. Whilst hopeful we shall not have dilution I think to take this as a 100% given is to be mistaken. I'm unable to access the RNS announcements from my crap phone during the day but there is a get out word in one of CF's recent statements when he refers to stage 2 funding. It's a get out word that does not commit him to a 100% no dilution guarantee. Until fully debt stage 2 is confirmed I would not take anything as being set in stone.

Superleggera I don't think it's wishful thinking at all. It's something I've pondered on too. If we can persuade lenders of our product's worth and in doing so convince them without additional off takes they'll get paid back quicker then maybe it's not wishful thinking at all. Either way, we're on the cusp of finding out. Loving this gradual tick up this week and the strength in holding above 30p.

Throbber Thanks for that clarification. Puts a whole new slant on it.

Jonesrichard It depends on whether it is just a fly past or if they hang around to do a display. It also depends on how much of a detour they have to make, if any, between engagements. It can cost up to £100,000 per display or as little as approx £15,000. Regards, 15Lives PS I'd better get my arse up there and watch them if I'm chipping in. Don't mean to sound like a miserable git complaining about them. It's unlike me. Honest. Just being super careful with our money going out until we've got some coming in. I hope all that see them have a fantastic time.
