The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Unfortunately, I can't see any socialists voting Labour unless it's for tactical reasons.
Starmer continues to disappoint and needs to be ousted before the next General Election.
Meanwhile, vote Reform who promise Proportional Representation which is only what we all deserve!
"It’s cars/kidneys/kids selling time!" Is that ever wise? I suspect more than a few LTHs invested even more during the SP's rise to 18p and then got burnt. ZIOC remains a binary bet which will soothe their burns - one day the SP is 7p and the next day there's a takeover offer @ 100p which is a joke but it get's the ball rolling.
Horrible thought is that there are no further offers! We'll see. Even 100p is life-changing for me so maybe I should stop complaining? Next stop is buying a house in Northumbria, England's least-populated region.
Not sure what difference LTbeliever's thoughts make! He's been wrong as often as ALB1 has been right! In short, nothing voiced here makes the slightest difference to the eventual outcome. I've lost faith in any jackpot here - simply emerging with a profit is all I'm hoping for. Lesson learned. Just think of all those other AIM companies I won't be investing in! Seriously, investor fatigue could have a lot to do with all these 52 week lows.
Yet more infinitesimal volume today! I share Driving's optimistic pessimism - life-transforming jackpots aren't for the likes of us! And he makes a very good point about shares NIPH - that's usually good news just before the herd arrives but where is the herd? Assuming an RNS announcing trading is suspended after a takeover offer far below what we're all hoping for, the herd never will arrive. But they had their chance! As for Jiving's "year of possible haggling" surely not?
Judging by the SP, ZIOC has become a joke and that's not a good place to be. FFS get something sorted!
"Labour won’t change a thing they’re all the same." Up to a point, Lord Copper! I can't remember where that quote comes from but I think it's Evelyn Waugh. The point I was making is that after a Labour landslide the foreseeable future is a bit more foreseeable which provides punters with the confidence the current Tory government has failed to inspire on so many levels so there should be more money in the bottom 99%'s pockets which is good for investment in AIM.
I consider myself a Rational Socialist and will be voting Reform in a very safe Tory seat. Why do Reform's policies never get a mention in the media?
Who could object to income tax starting only when your income is above £20k?
I'm surprised the SP isn't higher but there would appear to be a shortage of investors. More fool them for abandoning the Stock Market except a colossal amount of discretionary spending has disappeared so punters can no longer afford the risk. You can imagine the impact when they all return under a future Labour government in 2024. Normally, a Labour win would send the indices lower but I think they'll do the opposite this time around. Looking ahead, can I suggest the BOD think about buying back millions of shares as soon as they have a few quid in the company coffers?
I wasn't discussing ORR, I was drawing attention to the fact that deals are being done in Africa and the company ORR have teamed up with are a major player in iron ore contract mining. What a coincidence if BCM ended up involved with ZIOC?
Interesting developments today elsewhere in my PF: ORR, my second largest holding, is # 1 Top Riser after announcing a deal with BCM who, " in January 2023, signed a contract mining agreement with the current owner of the Tonkolili iron ore mine in Sierra Leone, Leone Rock Metal Group, which has Proven reserves of 15.8 billion tons of iron ore. The Tonkolili mine is Africa's second-largest iron ore mine and one of the largest magnetite deposits globally with an estimated operational period of more than 60 years."
Excellent news but the best bit is: "...so it's worth noting that we have four other, neighbouring licences ripe for similar deals or indeed 'go-it-alone' exploration." I'm surprised the SP isn't up over 150% on this news as it completely transforms the Lanstead deal which now looks like a stroke of genius.
Thanks for so much support - I thought I'd be shot down in flames by the usual suspects hence the pre-emptive title of my post. Ironic, as I've just re-discovered Biggles and am amassing a collection. Yes, let's hope something is happening and a swift conclusion has to be in everyone's interest unless Elphick is immortal (which, of course, GLEN is!)
