The latest Investing Matters Podcast with Jean Roche, Co-Manager of Schroder UK Mid Cap Investment Trust has just been released. Listen here.
sorry I cant write im so frigging upset - should read this is NOT government money
Cperkins - I appreciate your on this board often (all the time, some might say) but cmon the investment solo have made into the burj and Pan has been utterly disgraceful …. I appreciate it wasn't this CEO etc but still I hope there is a path for bringing RITSON to justice / account on this ….we should not be just sweeping this under the carpet …. would love to know if this is boarder line criminal to invest shareholders monies (millions) into what has clearly turned into NO value whatsoever.... £1 return from the millions spend ….. this is government grant money this is our money.... would love to know what BD thinks of this as Ritson it appears should not have been running solo or a caveat should have been in place to pay his wages based on performance …. this is absolutely disgraceful ...IM FUMING ….. I cant believe it a £1 return on millions …. any lawyers Finance guys out there..... is this not for the FCA to look into ?
Anyone else caught up with these? Our shares still tied up / being transferred and losing money hour by hour day by day ...what a farce ...what a rip off.... well and truly shafted ...lets hope the FCA take action and we get compensation …..
And nothing much has changed - were still in the doldrums …..still the same posters who seem to be on here ALL the time - don't people work or have hobbies anymore? this will go when the mms decide they have filled their boots and are ready to cash in …. we need one gigantic piece of news and this should fly ...come on Africa …. what a long 5, 6, 7 years this has been …. no point in selling now is there
Well well well …. thought it was just the mm's blasting stop losses but sub 2 is absurd ….. one day we will see this spike but to what and when is anyones guess because this just gets worse every 1/4....someone is gonna make a killing but it wont be the LTH
People can tell me Ive got it wrong and Im paranoid ….. but this share is being manipulated ….how can this not move upwards when we have ukog announcing such great news today ...its a scandal and the MM's should start putting aside compensation monies for investors like us whom in the future should get compensation …..
Im looking forward to the day that Private Investors will be eligible to claim against MM practises which in the future will be seen as manipulative & illegal ….. just like the banks and financials who fleeced people and are now paying out thousands in compensation …..I have a dream that one day MMs will be investigated and brought to justice over the way they work, the grey areas, the manipulation ….. just look at those recent buys as an example ….its really shocking ...AIM is shocking, the way BOD pay themselves is shocking …..any other business such performance levels, you would be on some kind of performance monitoring ….. many of SOLO bod over the years have been paid over the odds for poor results and returns …..our SP has been decimated …. so I don't blame anyone moaning about the SP they have every right to.....having said that I do think the worm has turned !
loving it today ….all for the wrong reasons.... the BOD need a financial haircut, big time …. circa 800k on salaries is unsustainable and anyone who doesn't see that really needs to move on ….. regardless of the potential here, management should not be taking such salaries when the cashflow simply isn't flowing and even if it was those salaries are in my opinion 50-65% too high ...…. MR R needs to step down/back/aside and a performance related package needs to be put in place …..MR R should as the main man have done this already …. He maybe a very good geologist and a decent person but he is not a CEO.... he has a different skill set which we need but a good CEO really takes care of business and Mr R hasn't done that as shown by some of the investments like Pan Burj which I really don't like at all …. he has wasted …. thrown away considerable sums of money BUT still pays huge salaries to himself and the team....THIS IS NOT RIGHT and anyone who thinks sitting tight is our best option is delusional ….. rant over
Thanks to BD CP and other..... I hope NR has the appetite for this.... I hope he wants to be remembered fondly for doing a good/great job and making a lot of people happy..... yes its market dictating, yes we are not the controlling party but at what point does the penny dropped that we/he is not seeing/generating value...our investment hasn't grown, its shrunk, considerably.... reef and pan was mentioned ...not a mutter of apology for wasting monies.... does he need to step back?
If you email Chris Judd at below hes very good and will email you back with the recording ……. chrisj@buchanan.uk.com
Seems a distant dream now pal ... I would ask where did this all go wrong .... struggling to see the light but I live in hope that our portfolio really does have value ...
BD - this has moved from bad to worse ......what do you think is going on pal ...
we could never prove anything but it really doesn't take much effort to give someone the wink wink ...... a little inside information...a promise of a bank hander? Lets just hope for us mortals the SP turns north and we all get out with our hair intact ....... (integrity, honesty and morale compass- to act in the right way and do the right things - our bod seem to have lost their way, stumbled on the path...just hope they do the right things this year and treat us SH with more respect honest and things are done above board .....fingers xxxxx'd)
positive and constructive - give me hope please .....too many on here spouting.... NR if your reading these BB please stop spending and start generating some cash into the coffers ....
good luck with your decision
And I certainly wouldn't be pushing for a fall in the sp of any share..... I hope the long term holders do well ..... the dramatic fall yesterday could have been the MMs taking this down, blowing out stops and then accumulating shares again .....rinse and repeat from 14 th April ......this is what the mms do and i feel its wrong, its manipulating the market and the FSA should investigate this practise......
Im no fan of shorting as i feel its important to back a company with your investment and go long .....however AIM has taught me / ney made me see things from the dark side on occasions..... I certainly think AIM is a crooked stick, what with the MM's games and insider dealing .....its always balanced in the favour of the MM's and people in the know/city ! Its no longer a place where the private investor gets a real & fair chance/crack of the whip! Anyway I was looking to BUY here and then when it got a bit toppy I was looking to go short however the IG platform didnt allow shorting on this share so I never placed ...... think im gonna look out for your posts in the future as you certainly seem to have a depth of knowledge and foresight that I dont posses..... i thought this was going 40p all day long and perhaps higher with a bidding war! Goes to show what looks too good to be true, ususally is ! Thanks anyway Alexios
this is going under 15, perhaps down to 10? Did you keep shorting this one?
but in fairness arms hasn't really pushed up as expected ..... i thought it would push far more than the 32/33..... the company does have biggish debt and it looks like whoever wins NR or Ace, they will issue a lot of share to re-coup... ive read a lot of long termers have been down so at least they can claw something back.....i put my spare money into UKOG instead and sold out with a 12% gain ...... can only wish my AFREN shares pick up as im so far down on them !! Good luck to all longs & i hope the 41p does materialise for you
this one? you mentioned a few pages back your shorting to 40p .....bigger balls than me...im still on the sidelines as i thought this would climb quicker..... interesting day ahead....good luck
