Apologies for calling you an idiot but after a bottle of Tesco Saint Chinian I get a bit stupid.

You are an idiot! Try actually DYOR! ZIOC has always been a binary bet but anyone sensible would think the odds were shortening. A bit like Shale Gas in the UK but Iron Ore is far more important. It's a shame Mr Market continues to cast his shadow when he has no idea what deals are being done. After many, many years as a shareholder I'll be very surprised if the takeover offer is 200p. But 50p would be very welcome as I have bigger fish to fry: BEN, CHAR, GRX, EOG, KP2, LBE, LOGP, ORCA, ORR, PXC and TWD, in case anyone's interested! Always disappointed that other investments are seldom discussed here but thanks to TheDealBreaker for alerting me to CHAR. For all the binary betters, GRX is very interesting so DYOR!

....yet ORR is where it is. Starting to think doubling the POG might lead to a 10% rise here! Also thinking about advising a pal of mine to takeover the company. Having said that, other goldminers are also in a catatonic state. Starting to think Gold's days are over...

Mr Market remains unimpressed and Catherine Oliver is down £57k on her recent purchase.

Pleased to see our neighbour JAY doing well recently! How ironic if GRX's eventual mining profits dwarfed the Polish compensation!

I'm a very old child! And I've stopped giving a BEEP! about most things since I retired. As for bailing out of ZIOC and banking a £75k loss? I'd be very reluctant unless it made sense for CGT reasons. I'm currently down £16k but the loss is within an ISA. What I'm trying to do is increase the value of the rest of my PF so that ZIOC becomes less significant. After investing in BEN @ 15p I'm having some success! It might be my best investment ever as Mr Market seldom seems to agree with me on all the others. Just increased my investment in ORR by 44% in the face of EVERY rise being sold into.
Bonkers or will the fundamentals will out?

It's my recollection that the SP was briefly # 1 Top Riser after the RNS and not before! Get your facts right! And I continue to think EOG is very undervalued.

Who knows? I'm hoping for a sudden surge in the SP but I'm prepared to be disappointed. Hopefully not terminally. Isn't it terrible when you become emotionally attached to a company you can't let go? But rules are there to be broken and I remain confident.

I've never held a high opinion of you but munchbox54 is far worse! Best advice is to ignore anyone who disagrees! Otherwise, what's the point of DYOR? Just finished reading Business For Punks by James Watt which agrees with me except I think he's an arrogant twat!

Yes, we all keep meeting on various boards after catastrophic losses! At least, on paper. But, to be fair, I think we all invested after doing our own research whatever the SP was at the time and timing is everything. As far as TWD is concerned, I view it as more of a risk than ZIOC but WTFDIK? And I'm a shareholder in both.

Not much interest today but Oil's definitely the investment for me! Very briefly this morning EOG was # 1 Top Riser and I'm expecting ORCA to also occupy that spot fairly soon. Not to mention LBE and LOGP. All are long term holds for me.

Briefly this morning EOG was # 1 Top Riser so what's changed?

The resigning top dog owns 11.5m shares in MCLS so it must have been in his best interests to go! How you interpret that is up to you! I see it as a preliminary to major changes at MCLS. Hopefully, the SP will rise astronomically and the top dog will be pleased he was nudged aside. I only wish someone would nudge me aside!

Couldn't understand most of it but I know that Oil is the new Gold so I'm happy to be invested as part of an extremely balanced PF.

...the sky's your oyster! And the beauty of it is that the SP starts rising daily by more than the price some of us paid in the first place! Nauseating for some but it makes up for all the previous losses of which there were many! Not to mention all the sold too soons.

ATM Oil is looking very attractive and its attraction must increase. I recently sold half my holding in LBE in order to invest in EOG and it was, very briefly, # 1 Top Riser this morning which it's hard to see LBE ever achieving but who knows? However, I'm more than happy to hold LBE from now on as part of the oily part of my PF, alongside EOG, LOGP, ORCA and ADV.

hahaha

Apology withdrawn!

No, I can't see Morrisons bidding but I can see Morrisons being effectively MCLS's banker. There's no reason why MCLS isn't valued on its turnover apart from its shortage of profits and its debt which stronger management will correct. Job done! 50p by Xmas?

Just increased my holding by another 44%. Tried to buy 1.7m shares but couldn't, then 1m ditto but they let me buy 500k so I'm happy. Maybe it's worth buying another 500k?
