I don't quite agree.
I've filtered all scumbags, so I can see rather more grown up, sensible posts like yours.
The trial does seem to have been messed up, so fingers crossed for Activ2 and there's always COPD, which is why I invested in the first place.

I don't post often as I have little technical knowledge to offer in this field, but I do know how Stockbroking works. 35 years in the business, mostly at senior technical management level.
Brokers, such as HL route your order to the market makers via the RSP network (retail service provider). Your trade will be executed at the best bid or offer available. Therefore you trade with the market maker, not the broker. HL etc are really just a message service and you pay them a commission charge.
Market makers can, and do manipulate prices by lowering the bid and offer price, but not actually offering any shares. I should know as the last decade of my career was spent working at one!
Tiger16,
Thanks for posting exactly the sort of spiteful vitriol I was drawing attention to with my original post. Instead of whingeing constantly because you lost money here, go and post your valuable insights on the GDR board.
I notice that very few genuine Argonauts bother posting any more, but Happy New Year to you and fingers crossed for 2022
To all the rest of you who seem to have nothing better to do than troll constantly, please can you spend 2022 wasting your time elsewhere, or maybe find stocks you do like and are invested in, and try posting useful, positive comments on those boards.
Chaebol, fair point, but one man's junk bond is another man's business opportunity. In 2020 I could have invested £250k in blue chips, put it on deposit, or invested in some people's idea of a junk bond. I did the latter and made rather a lot of money.
My approach was aggressive and, to an extent, very lucky, but I took a chunk of profit. I was bullish, but allowed enough bear into my strategy to do well.
The hyper-critical posters on here can only see a greedy CEO and a stupid company built on a crazy idea. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and if they believe this, there are numerous, less exciting ways to invest so they can only have an agenda if they continue to troll here.
I am not the only one who is still very bullish, albeit from a position of financial strength, and has thoroughly enjoyed the roller-coaster of the last 18 months.
Chaebol, I really have no idea if the land deal was good or bad, but the project kicked off immediately which suggests that planning, permissions etc was already in place and therefore part of the price. The proximity of the power supply is also a big plus.
The pool is obviously a publicity stunt, but what's wrong with keeping the locals sweet?
Chaebol, the NASDAQ IPO was a placing. It's encouraging to see that sort of fund raise, in my opinion. I'm Also encouraged to see they raised funds via the bond issue. Institutions don't tend to buy bonds if they think the issuer will fall by the wayside.
Chaebol, you are quite right that the extreme views are at best narrow minded, either bull or bear, but I get peed off with the obsession that PW has diluted the company to line his, or his mates' pockets. I worked in Stockbroking for 35 years and can assure the misguided few on these boards that most companies grow their business by fund raising via placings. They are always a short term pain in the backside, but provided the funds are invested in business growth, they are vital.
