You're down 90%? I'd hold but WTFDIK as I'm down even more with TWD! Lessons to be learned: operate a stop loss and never become emotionally attached to a share. And pay more attention to what's happening in the world - who's going to buy a new sofa when they can't afford to heat their house?

I, too, am sorry for your loss but it will have taught you a lot!
And investment knowledge usually costs the recipient very dear!
First lesson is spread your risk!
Had HE1 and ADV come good you'd be patting yourself on the back , thinking you're a very astute investor.
But it's seldom that easy for most of us!
You've a mountain to climb after losing most of your starting capital but I hope you'll persevere.

Has Mr Market got it right? I dunno! I'm holding not folding as I'm down so much it's not worth selling. If the technology is worth anything there could be a takeover offer but much cheaper to pounce after the bankruptcy. Post-Brexit Britain is a very difficult place to do business and all Truss offers is even more money to the people who don't need it!

Iron Ore @ $40 a tonne is the perfect time to buy an Iron Ore mine! And I think the Chinese have a somewhat longer term view than the rest of us.

Apparently the Western World is reliant on China to rescue it and why not? Capitalism is bankrupt. But I'm sure China needs to rescue China first! And it will need Iron Ore. The closest supply is Australia but China won't want to be solely reliant on them. Echoes of Europe relying on Russian gas? Happy to hold or die trying!

I value penstock's input as much as anyone but he's too good to be true! Attacking me for "having an agenda" or "being PATT" are classic attacking moves from a paid ramper - always undermine the opposition! For everyone's information, BEN is my second largest holding and 17.5% of my PF. I'm as frustrated as anyone by BEN's recent abysmal performance , particularly after PXC rocketed 70% this week, and I am not penstock's pal. Show some respect, you ********!

Funny how you've reduced to 800k shares while I've increased to 400k! Agreed we are all living in fantasy land but reality will put the boot in sooner or later and we won't see it coming however hopefully we peer into the distance. With the impending Depression I'm surprised the clever money hasn't been investing any of their millions in ZIOC. That says it all! Come on GLEN, please put us out of our misery!

A year ago the SP was 392p and it could be double or treble that within 5 years. Current Management needs to wake up and exploit all the opportunities they're currently missing.

Let's hope the SP rises on Monday after all yesterday's talk about the ridiculous Mkt. Cap. compared to all the Gold they're allegedly sitting on. What was it like in the early days of GGP? For some reason they never featured on my radar. What exactly catapulted them into the stratosphere? Does anyone remember the Waverley Australasian Gold unit trust from many years ago? One year it was up over 300% but it didn't last.

Something to look forward to! Come on penstock, you're not working hard enough! And your mum's still 66% underwater.

And again today yet no upward movement. There must be a cupboard full of dumped shares waiting for a buyer. I was hoping the IHT technology would be attracting more interest from the Aviation industry but WTFDIK? What's more profitable to TWD? EVs or aircraft? Shame we never get to know. I think EVs in general are going to stall very badly on cost grounds but Arrival's vans will benefit from favourable treatment in urban settings. Who needs 10p by Xmas?

Is "Glencore time" the inverse of dog years? Or dog years twice removed? Or to the power of? If it's still "early days" I'll be long dead before anything happens. But ZIOC will be the last share I sell as my assets are steadily sold to supplement my inadequate income. Funny how UK pensioners are so worse off than their Spanish counterparts - if they can do it why can't the UK? A pension of 29% of former income compared to 89%, apparently. Maybe the Spanish Prime Minister doesn't regard it as a "handout".

Par for the course with ORR but how does it escape the endless cycle? Yet again, takeover by a superior intelligence seems the best way to thwart Mr Market.

Agreed - any offer, however low, is preferable to another ten years in limbo. And it only takes two interested parties to emerge from the woodwork for a takeover battle to commence.

"Perhaps a bargain basement sale to Glencore is our only realistic strategy" - I think 200p would be a fair price but ATM they could offer 50p and get away with it as everyone's so tired of waiting.

I never saw this coming and I do try to expect the unexpected! Should've gone to Specsavers? Mkt. Cap. down to a crazy £5m now the rug's been pulled from under them. Currently my most disastrous investment.

You're doing a grand job penstock yet the SP is where it is! Looking back to when the SP hit 104p only 5 months ago, there was far more speculative money looking for a home. Since then a lot of money has been withdrawn from the Market in anticipation of hard times ahead. I trust in BEN's fundamentals but I've lost faith in 150p by Xmas - maybe Xmas 2023? Alternatively, as for so many undervalued companies, maybe a predator will emerge?

It struck me that in a future where there's a paywall before anyone gets to read a newspaper online then RCH will do extremely well even if they charge a modest amount. Forget dwindling newspaper sales and view RCH as a cash machine.

Feeling much less foolish after seeing someone paid more than me to buy 250,000 shares. Post-Brexit UK plc is taking a hammering but I think that will change - more for some companies than others. I was very dismayed to read about the brewery in Kent whose exports have slumped from £600k to £2k. Sue Boris Johnson? One or two or twenty-two new contracts will transform TWD and I have placed my bet. Alternatively, the company is valued at near-zero as far as their technology is concerned and I'm sure a predator will emerge. Fears of a placing at this SP must be misplaced! £1 by Xmas doesn't seem too fanciful considering the SP was 265p a year ago. More like 10p by Xmas? Who knows?

Yes, it does look as if I have got things the wrong way round but why the blank box instead of 0%? There was an RNS in January that R Sneller had reduced his holding from 5% to 4.7% and I presume that became 3.94% after the placing. I was thinking of increasing my holding so let's hope it was a good call regardless of my ineptitude! I must say that, for some reason, TWD reminds me very much of TSTL which is one of my major ones that got away. I lost patience and sold @ 23p only to watch it eventually hit around 650p IIRC.
