to say that I'm still here still invested and not influenced at all by botfly shenanigans.
The process is long and complicated but the BOD have shown that they are forward thinking and not, as some have said, looking forward to retirement. DS may be on a spur line to other ventures but, with a dividend that he's involved with in negotiating, will have a very handsome payday and still hold his shares for more in the future: as many of us will do.
I've never guessed a figure or date but have calculated (nearly) every suggestion of a figure to see what it was worth to me some sums are truly lifechanging.
To my mind the stats available, greatly enhanced by the research of informed contributors here and the links to contributors elsewhere, are so vast and the permutations of scenarios involving different buyers/offload takers are so complex that my head spins at the thought (not the consumption of rum).
The nomad's representative excitedly stating that the dividend was going to be massive is a good indicator of the direction we're heading.
It also raised the interest of those that seek to sow doubt and relieve us poor sufferers of the stress of our holdings by means blunt in the short term and sophisticated in the long game. It's good to see how skilfully most of them are dealt with here but there are some more subtle wolves in sheep's clothing amongst us.
I'm still here, looking forward to payday and all the other paydays after that, and no-one will change that.
Good fortune to all invested.
