Fully expecting the rise today to disappear shortly after open tomorrow.
Trouble with this stock is that you never know when the next really bad RNS will hit. And it usually relates to something bad that happened quite a while before the RNS.

Well judging by the drop in SP today, the market doesn't seem too impressed. Or is it that the market is devastated that DIK is going?

Novek - so why, if he's as good as they say he is, does he want to be associated with this useless rabble. Won't do much to enhance his reputation in this sector.

Ginoir - With there track record you can be forgiven for expecting announcement of a massive mates rates placing which would all but wipe us out.

Popes - you are absolutely right that this could possibly crash and no amount of analysis in the current climate will make any difference.
For me however, £4.50 does seem a tad overdone. Mind you 3 weeks ago I was contemplating dipping my toe in at sub £30 for the cruise benefits and divvy. Boy am I glad I didn't.
If carries on dropping I would regard anything sub £10 as a bargain but with the caveat that I might expect to have to hold for quite some time.
Bearing in mind we are still in the early stages of the viral spread, we are only looking at potential damage at the moment and yet the SP has dropped over £20 per share in less than 2 months. Scary.

We also received email a couple of days ago and, with our friend having a lung condition and my wife will be a few weeks post-op by May, we have decided to take the cancellation for our British Isles cruise and re-book later in the year, hopefully for a huge discount.
We all talked about buying the minimum 100 shares recently and our friends bought at around £25 per share. I'm inclined to think that this has a way to go yet, with cancelled bookings, especially the Americans and Italians, plus the incertainties of what will happen when you are on the cruise.
The fear of circling the oceans and not being allowed into ports, or worse still being held on the ship for weeks will put off a lot of cruisers. Particularly worrying is the latest ship outbreak where the outbreak is basically among the crew. Seems to me that Princess feel it is cheaper to offer cancellation rather than risk ships becoming quarantine hotels.
I fear this SP could fall as low as £10 per share if the contagion is bad and even at that price, you would have to be prepared to hold for a long time as share price would recover slowly and Carnival would probably cancel the next dividend. Worse case scenario could also include a cash call to strengthen the balance sheet as the banks did a decade ago.
Sorry to sound doom laden. I am positive but not in the short term

Putin dumps OPEC and starts a trade war with USA shale oil jndustry.
Wonder if he'll buy Westmed off us to top up his fighting reserves.

BTW where's Banjo when you need someone to spread a little positivity?
I'm assuming that with VOG near to collapse, his work on behalf of BOD is done and services no longer required

Yeah, but I'm not getting too excited as, firstly, how much of the o and g sector has fallen 95% in less than 3 years? And secondly, that rise will probably disappear on Monday.

Sounds like the forces of common sense are gaining ground in Sweden at last

Can't be from Kabwe tailings cos Bozzerelli insisted when he took over the reins that the whole copper thing had been an Alikhani lie.
That's when zinc and lead came to the fore.

Indeed the wheels on the bus are going round and round furiously. Trouble is we're stuck in the mud.

Hi Eric. In fairness, you will know only too well from your BMR holding that eventually without further news you run out of things to say that are novel. I suspect this board is fast approaching that point. Hopefully news soon.
Cheers 3card

Yeah. It's really comforting to know that for the privilege of seeing the company go backwards and our losing most of our investment, we paid DIK approximately 4 times the Prime Minister's salary last year in salary and benefits.
I've ignored the share options as they are now worthless at 14p and will eventually be replaced by more at 3p.

Time was we could have bought Bowleven. Ah well

Could current small uplift be Bowleven related?

Money - and while we're at it, what about lead. One of the main USPs that we originally invested in Berkley Mineral Resources for all those years ago, apart from making money, was to help clear up one of the 10 most polluted cities on earth.
I'm surprised the Zambian authorities aren't thinking the same thing.

JLPP - yes, very good update. Interesting to hear Leon talking of a $60m capex on constructing rather than acquiring a refinery.
How many times were we BMR shareholders diluted with a promise of building a plant for just a few million.
Still we did get a few random concrete circles for our money.
If you didn't know better, you might be tempted to think the BMR BoD were a bunch of lying scumbags.

Bring - whatever the reason, if we had a CEO who was remotely interested in protecting his loyal shareholder base, he would have been asking searching questions of JLP and updating us. But then .........
One might be tempted to ask the question "What's in it for him to sit on his 'arris seemingly doing diddly squat. What bigger incentive to get things sorted, than all those millions of share options he's awarded himself.
Then again how many times have we seen with other companies where directors scrap previous options in favour of better ones. Sorry, do I sound bitter???

Re " I loathe borreli but i hate bird/coatzer even more."
On the contrary, they are actually doing a good job, but for their own shareholders (of whom I am one). I am also a hugely out of pocket BMR shareholder but I certainly don't blame B and C for our demise. They don't work for us. The blame lies full square at the feet of the useless and conniving Borrelli. If his record is his idea of how to protect BMR shareholders, then we need to rewrite the OED definition of protect.
