Ripley, the short has been recorded on this site since April.

Good heavens, Stack! Are you telling us you've been lying all along?! And to think I've been hanging onto your every word ever since you first graced us with your presence. I'm shocked to the core and have lost all faith in humanity.

Damers, thanks for the confirmation.

NKVD, where did you find this?

Pbow, I would say the most significant achievement so far is the portrayal of competence by DV and PS, which in turn has led to growing confidence.

Of course, he will need to deliver and he needs time, but it's still early doors and to me any criticism of supposed missed deadlines is, at this stage, misguided.

PS, thanks for that. I was working on the basis that most trades are transacted by institutions and hedge funds and most of their trades would be automated. As I understand it, 70% of trades are AT - does that sound about right?

PS, indeed, although algorithms are used in the majority of cases.

Q, my apologies, I thought you had previously said they weren't transacted using algorithms.

Q, one point; I think perhaps you should have a look at what an automated trade really is.

RK, it's a story I've followed for a few years and congrats on your profit, but I wouldn't trust either of those two further than I could throw them. How Lenigas has got away with it over the years is totally beyond me.

RK, tread with care with regards to wsbn. Never lose sight of the two characters who are behind the whole thing.

Fort, agreed. A lot depends upon the results.

We commented on this when it was first released in May, but it's worth repeating:

" Trading at just 0.11x NAV (this was prior to the recent sp appreciation) amid a resurgent copper and gold market, we believe Solgold offers a compelling value proposition and stands out as a prime acquisition target"

I can live with that.

Hfm, the reason was very straightforward, we were more or less out of cash. It was a bloody miracle JCC paid a 45% premium.

RT, exactly, just as I've pointed out to our resident village idiot. Mind you, unlike you he's not intelligent enough to grasp the point.

Nal, yes, I do recall my support for SC and have on numerous occasions admitted I was wrong. This is the thing about companies which you've never been able to grasp - they're dynamic entities and circumstances change all the time. Sensible investors adjust their views as things progress, which rather rules you out.

Anyway, time for you to set sail into the blue yonder and let's hope you don't run into a devastating typhoon, never to be seen again. I'm sure we'd all be terribly upset.

RT, agreed. The team are setting about professionalizing the business - something we've been sadly lacking for years - across all areas of activity. This is being done in order to be able to present a grown-up, fully fledged company to the market, investors, potential partners and ultimately buyers.

They've made solid progress so far, but much remains to be done.

p.s great to read of your Damascene conversion re the team.

I didn't say it was.

Q, I see their first task as marketing the company to institutional investors and initiating coverage with a brokers report (PS mentioned this in May/June)

Silverman, it's a very good move. CG are a highly respected global outfit with excellent market coverage and a strong m&a track record.
