Convenient that you've not spotted anyone posting misinformation, add...
Once again, don't try to reframe this: no one is taking issue with speculation or opinion.
Happy to be branded modern: thanks.
Posting misinformation and posting genuine opinion are different. No one is suggesting taking down genuine opinion, add. Now I think it might be you taking things a bit seriously and getting upset... Libertarians often get upset when someone mentions that the world benefits from a few rules of engagement. And then they get upset when someone breaks the rules that favour them... Funny, huh? Obviously doesn't apply to you, add.
Before I say this, for clarity, I don't find equivalence between ramping and criminal activity.
But if I did, you've just done some fairly hefty victim shaming there, add. You are effectively saying that rampers should be left to ramp, and those who believe their bs are the ones at fault. Surely, without reasonable question, the better thing to do is remove the rampers? Come on, tell me you see that?!
Hope is good isn't it, add? It's not a strategy, but it's good.
Ramping is not good though. Most immature posters here haven't been posting "I am done with investing in an explorer, and I now hope there is a TO". They've been posting that there are signs of an imminent takeover. And that's disingenuous and bad for the board. I know you see the clear difference, so please don't follow the crowd and claim the actions of the rampers here are fine. They are not.
So they were wrong, DBW? Thanks. Only checking because your previous post seemed to say no one was correct, but those who said it wouldn't sell soon were correct. Good clarification. Cheers.
Also, know we're not talking, but who is posting but not invested? I invested in a copper-gold explorer with a portfolio of promising concessions in Ecuador. What I didn't do was sink money I couldn't afford to lose into a small cap company because I thought the whole thing was going to be taken over in the next few weeks for multibag returns. Because only a total f-ing idiot would do that. That, quite clearly, is a stupid gamble rather than an investment strategy, and one that would leave you underwater and scared right now. So scared you might (pathetically!) try to increase the SP by ramp posting on a small message board on the internet about.... A multibag takeover! And bingo: we have the reason for our rampy posters.
Dbw
You're right that a sale hasn't happened. So those who claimed it was imminent 2 years ago, 1 year ago, 6 months ago.... They weren't right, were they? Were they wrong?
Spoke too soon, Anon. Here's Fort back on familiar ramping ground. Share price isn't rising, so let's tell everyone it's because we're only moments away from a TO or spinout... And don't let an absence of evidence get in the way of a good ramp, hey Fort?!
Guys, go easy on bubble. He wants to ramp like the others, but he's not the brightest so he usually just settles for echoing their nonsense. Today he's really tried, he's just let down by his total lack of brain. Give him a break, yeah?
So many ellipses in Red's ramps. Like he wants us to feel like we're joining the dots and arriving at his perma-positive conclusion.
His copy paste from the Maxit website shows impressive (though simplistic) commitment to the ramping. He's earned his wage today, good boy.
No Chinese miner nor investment company is going to be inspired to bid for solg by what's happened at Continental, Fort. Quite the opposite.
Nice try, though.
Red thinks there's a bid coming soon. Wish he'd said so before....
Wish he'd switch off, dbw, but he'll be back with variations on the same ramp every day for months and months. Yawn.
"you sounded ridiculous".
You've read their posts, right? Just checking. And I'm the one who sounds ridiculous? Okay...
I've read the room. It's full of rampers and their hype men. Which are you, out of interest? They are really, really easy to wind up. Particularly when their baseless ramps get disproven. Last week we were 'off to the races'. But we never broke out of our 6m channel, and now we've lost a few percent, because nothing's happening.
And yes, you're probably right that I win whichever way. I get a tasty profit if a TO comes in soon, or a tasty profit and the satisfaction of being right if it takes until next year. And if it doesn't come, the rampers are even more wrong. It was a pretty easy position to construct, and a delightful place to sit now. Happy days.
SM, just for the avoidance of doubt, have you got any old message chastising Red/Fort/Bubble for brainless actual ramping? My expression that LTHs maybe shouldn't sell if they wish to guarantee they are present for any future possible TO seems to have drawn your fire, bizarrely. Just checking you're as tetchy with the actual rampers who do nothing else, day-in, day-out? Kind regards etc.
I don't own that playbook.
By definition, rampers make statements with the express purpose of inflating the sp.
I don't think anyone reading my summary would see that agenda.
Why so angry, SM? Don't worry, the rampers will pile on anyway so your aggressive message will soon be buried.
Six month chart (since announcement, basically since 'new direction') shows this is about our ceiling for now, so today's selling is no real surprise. Bounce around here a while. Same people as always got giddy last week and tried to whip up a frenzy, but nothing much happening. Becoming quite a good spectator sport to watch them breathlessly ramp every time we return towards poor 18p! So long as sensible readers know it's meaningless bluster, we're good. Stick it in a drawer, wait a year or so, enjoy a TO then. Trade if you must, but be careful not to be out when this sells. Don't fall for the rampers pretending it'll be this week, month or year. They've said the same for years. Yawn.
No sources, fort? Ready to admit that's a baseless ramp?
I've had a think, and I'm good with it, ta. If I came across a disingenuous prat like fort face-to-face I'd speak to him the same way. We don't need scum like him or the other rampy lemmings here. Plus he's proven time and again that his motivation to ramp outweighs his capacity to get offended. He still thinks he can move the share price from a BB! Sweet...
"There are loads of whispers out there at present but the one I keep hearing is Rio Tinto."
Any sources, Fort? Or brainless ramping as per?
Convenient that these 'whispers' won't have any sources. Given that you've just made them up for the benefit of your rampy colleagues on this board.
Nice try.
