We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
Contrarian,
I don't think for one minute anything said on here affects the SP. It was TIC, but if it did, it would be the negativity on here that has caused the fall and not any constructive comment, was my point.
Meanwhile, your pathetic whinging, based on nothing solid whatsoever, won't get you anywhere. Why don't you team up with Tom and start some sort of Facebook protest group and see how far it gets you?
Meanwhile, I won't be mailing anybody until one of our resident whingers can tell me what she and the board are doing wrong.
I'm sorry, but like the rest of the whingers, you're full of it and just annoyed.
Filtered.
I'm just not seeing how it's badly run, at all???
I wish someone would point out exactly why they think this, instead of just moaning that the SP and hence their investment is down by a load. This sort of baseless criticism got boring ages ago and it's the pessimism consistently posted on here which is why the SP is down, if anything.
Seeing as we've had a bit of chat on here, I thought I might chuck another one in for consideration.
Jupiter India.
The Sensex is on a roll, which is being caused by Modri being expected to easily win the elections and continue carrying on with big reforms.
Jupiter India has risen, even when the Sensex has an occasional off day. It's been by far the best performer for me over the last six months.
I'm not really sure you can really look at CH4 and ITV in quite the same light.
While all normal channels are losing viewers, CH4 are losing them in droves according to some article I read a few months back. Not that I expect ITV's figures to be brilliant.
You have to laugh.
"Barclays cuts ITV price target to 70 (75) pence - 'equal weight'"
That's why it fell.
I honestly know why anyone listens to these clowns. They have no more idea than anyone else.
Bigbadbaz,
David can't help it. He only knows doom and gloom and he's exactly the same on another share we both own.
We've traded opinions a few times and I've never known him have a positive attitude, even once.
He just struggles to see any positives at all and hopefully he'll admit it.
Well, all I know is that I've never even set foot in a JD shop, but my kids and grandkids do, all the time. My daughter is a manager in one of them and she told me it was really busy in the Xmas period.
Hopefully sales hold up.
I thought you were in way higher than that.
Whatever, whereas, I now average 10.2p. I know I said previously I was sub 10p, but I'd got it confused with SOLG.
Whatever, I don't think I'd be too worried at 15p. It seems a no-brainer that we'll see that price again.
Given that I first bought here in Sept 20, at 36p and I think DavidBrent's very similar, I think 30p should be quite easily achievable. All it needs is for the company to take it's time and make some steady profit, instead of making it and then spending it all like some little kid (Betts). Oh, a BOD that isn't so obviously easily walked over would be nice too.
CIG to put someone in there would work for me.
i don't think for one minute mitsui will be looking to bid for solg.
i've worked for the outfit via the bab**** section, albeit younks ago, but i do know a bit about them.
they are indeed enormous and one of there big wings is engineering, including turnkey type projects and mining infrastructure etc. if they've got any interest in solg, my guess is it's more because they can provide services and would like a fat contract.
of course, wheels might be greased by taking a chunk of the assets in return for a few million.
"I for once are nor overly concerned and believe it is a matter of when we deliver and not if"
I totally concur with this.
The delays are annoying and in the short term, what with Betts' over-promising, terrible for the SP.
But while some can't fail to look at the negative side 100% of the time, I do think the bigger picture will look a lot better and there's a really good chance that the current prices are pretty much a gift.
I'm willing to take the gamble, which tbh, is what it is.
"The Company remains focused on reaching full commercial production in Q1-2024."
That's practically an admission to me that we've not a cat in hell's chance. Otherwise surely he would have said "comitted", not focussed. Not unexpected, but it looks more like Dan's shifty wording and I find that annoying.
Bonker, the fire was at Conakry, Guinea and was widely reported as it's only refinery, which was wiped out by the fire. The country is relying on shipments until it's rebuilt.
Which reminds me.
David, I'm going to guess you don't just pull the cord like a 2hp home genny, to get a mine up and running.
I'm no expert, but would imagine it definitely does take days.
Synic,
"They're employed to make profit for shareholders not to save the woke world. We're already paying their inflated salaries and if they don't get their lazy backsides into gear ITV will be toast if something doesn't change soon."
I'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous. The company makes good profit; over £500 million of it last year. It pays a decent divi at the moment, revenues seem to be holding up pretty well, considering the economic climate, they're on track to hit all their KPIs and heck, even the Pension fund is running at a £200 million odd surplus. Then tack on that they 're probably the biggest advertiser in the game by miles.
How on earth is this company going to be toast?
Look, I get it. You most likely have a high average here.. I get upset when I'm a lot of money down too. But it strikes me the company isn't doing anywhere near as badly as you're trying to make out.
This site is indicating that ITV is on a P/E of 5.7. That's very cheap, which means it's excellent value. But I don't believe it's because it's a bad company. I think Jed's right. When value becomes fashionable again, which it will, imo, mainly because the US market and the magnificent 7 will see a 30-40-50% correction, the prices of this sort of company will rise significantly.
I'm not selling, even though I'm down too, put it that way.
I supose that depends how long it takes to come up with a refined PFS. Which will probably be a good while.
And you could also say that they're not going to find anyboby to lend them the money until most of what we already owe is paid down anyway.
He'd be silly too go too quick again, imo. The company needs to get the production figures up, pay down the debt and prove it can run the company steadily and reliably for a couple of years. That's how they'll get the share price off it's knees.
But having seen how Dan performs, he'll go for it as soon as he possibly can, I reckon.
Debt has tripled under the tories, I believe. Without checking, that might be wrong and it's only doubled as a minimum.
While we're still paying the highest taxes since.....
As for councils, that bastion of left wing wokery (I don't think) has just today reported that there was an emergency meeting in London today, by representatives of councils nationwide, pleading for more central funding, which as you well know has been massacred over the last few years, as 20-25% of councils face bankruptcy either this year or next.
I'll bet you think they're all Labour, don't you?
The tories have proven themselves to be financially incompetent and it's why people now want them out, massively.
How anyone can defend them, is beyond me.
Anyway, all this is detracting from the subject that should be in hand, which is L&G.
I'm sadly filtering you now, so I don't have to resist arguing against your deluded comments.
Good luck with your investment here.
Synic, where would the demand be for a back catalogue, worldwide? I don't think the future is in offering British programmes out to the rest of the world. Yes, the yanks might be attracted to the likes of Brideshead revisited etc, but I don't see any demand for more mainstream British stuff.
And perhaps you're a bit behind the times and don't realise that Netflix, Disney, Sky and Amazon are all also easily pirated/watched via one simple cheap subscription, which doesn't even need a VPN?
If only things were as easy as you make out.
David, see you're there again aren't you?
This company has proven it can make boatloads of money.
It's the fact that Dan bit off way more than he can chew in going too far, too fast that has led to us having a debt problem.
Even so, you could say that Dan going all out to reach that 200k ozs could be a really good thing, as much as it costs most of any profit for this year.
And we still have Dugbe to come. Which is my bigger worry. Will the idiot go all out to develop that too, instead of accumulating money before doing it? I'd like to think he couldn't possibly be so stupid as to repeat that mistake, but you never know.
