Rentokil have retrained 7,000 staff while REAT have 90! It could be the dawn of a new age of deep-cleaning but who knows how long it will last? I suspect not very long as other cost-cutting pressures impact.

...but we have a lot to look forward to. PXOG has to be the easiest 10-bagger there is. DYOR and stop buying and selling for a quick 10%! I'm not normally in favour of share consolidations but PXOG might actually benefit!

WhatAboutLogic: and your point is? Apart from stating the haemotologically obvious. I'm disappointed ZIOC hasn't emulated some of my other investments recently by crashing into the Top 10 Risers but patience is supposedly a virtue. Stupidly, ZIOC's still my largest investment but the future returns make that seem logical however many years it takes. Except no sensible investor would've invested many years ago only to see the SP where it is today. It's a difficult call - believe a deal is imminent or cut your losses? Mr Market doesn't appear to think a deal is imminent despite all the speculation.
And then one has to weigh up the many opportunities lost by staying invested in ZIOC - it's probably cost me more than I'll ever make! A better strategy would've been to keep ZIOC as 10% of my PF and not get greedy - there are always other opportunities.

" I didn't think that they could buy much with only £5mil, seems like they don't know either. " Why not turn ORM into an investment company? Decent steaks in TOM, PXOG, LOGP and ORR could be had for a lot less than £5m. 20% of TOM could prove to be the deal of a lifetime.

Currently # 1 Top Riser - blimey!

In this day and age nobody believes history books! And not much else. By sticking to the Fundamentals I'm hoping ZIOC will reward us all but there's no guarantee which is presumably why the SP has always struggled. Which reminds me of the usual claptrap about Markets hating "uncertainty" as if anything was certain! Buy low sell high is the only advice worth heeding.

I'm sure they read these comments and smile inscrutably. No worries. Currently reading Billy Bunter In China first published in 1930. That would really annoy them!

After my last comment PXOG rocketed 23% but I can't claim any credit. If I could I wouldn't be wasting my time here! If only the herd would arrive PXOG would be over 1p but that would only lead to many LTHs exiting! It's a Catch-22 and it's hard to see how PXOG will ever make progress until they start paying the promised dividend which is more than the current Mkt. Cap.

I think you've said that before! :) Notwithstanding ROCKLAWN's marvellous opinion (never seen so many … ) I remain confident Barryroe will either be developed or it won't. My average is 0.85p and I'm hoping for 5p so there's lots to look forward to. I'm always interested in binary investments. Hopefully with the odds in their favour but not always.

Why should I worry? Cue the endless reasons to invest in this gem. Rest assured there are plenty of other "miners" valued at multiples of ORR's Mkt. Cap. which is very hard for their investors to explain. It's also very hard to explain why ORR is so cheap!

According to Wikipedia the Black Death also originated in China! Where's the evidence? Strange how China is the source of everything evil... unlike Amerika!

You still sound like Trump! Are you 99% sure China is 99% to blame? How does holding China to account get anyone anywhere? Coronavirus would've happened sooner or later anywhere and there could be much worse to come so why don't you blame that on China too! As if China is responsible for a mutating virus... Martians must be rolling in the aisles reading this. I only wish I could emigrate to Mars but I'm certain I'd be turned back. Much like second home owners in England and rightly so! It's 1348 all over again!

One of the few companies which will actually profit from COVID-19 is ignored by investors while the likes of CINE rocket! Up 21% on Friday which is bonkers! How does social-distancing and visiting the cinema make any kind of sense? Mr Market seems to be assuming we're heading back to normal PDQ after the people have spoken. And then died in their hundreds of thousands.

You sound like Trump! I'm not convinced "China caused this" although I'd agree they're "outright liars" as is the UK Government. How could Johnson be in Intensive Care while also in "good spirits"? And it seems he would never have been in Intensive Care if he wasn't so "important". So his bed deprived someone else. I am convinced two people I know had coronavirus in Cambridgeshire around Xmas 2019 - long before any "official announcement". Fortunately they survived but it knocked them for six and was unlike anything else they'd ever experienced.

[Perhaps from an unattested American colonial Dutch use of Dutch poppekak, doll's excrement (in contemporary Dutch, found mostly in variants of the expression zo fijn als gemalen poppekak, excessively pious (literally, as fine as powdered doll's excrement)) : pop, doll (from Middle Dutch poppe, from Vulgar Latin *puppa, from Latin pupa) + kak, excrement (from kakken, to defecate, from Middle Dutch kacken, from Latin cacare; see kakka- in Indo-European roots).

What a wonderful word! "GLEN and BOD are fully aware of the value" but have they ever tried selling a secondhand-car? ZIOC is worth what someone will pay! And I don't see a queue forming (not that I would!) Good luck to all of us and I think £2 would be wonderful! Life-changing etc. How much more would anyone want? Got my eye on a property in Frinton @ £950k - would £500k be enough post-apocalypse? Towards which we are heading. Beware the Second Wave...

Yes, it won't be sold too cheaply but the buyer has to see a profit somewhere down the line! Rest assured ZIOC will sell for "£'s per share" but the offer could still be disappointing. Let's hope for the best!

Why isn't the SP much higher now Barryroe looks like it's finally going to be developed?

Have to agree with you that ORR is so undervalued it's unreal. But that's the Stock Market for you! If the price of Gold really takes off (and it will!) then tiny miners will rocket hundreds of %.

Do you really think 90 employees are enough? Franchising their expertise could mean this is a multi-bagger!
