Excellent video - I hadn't realised that Callum Baxter the geologist was also a founder of GGP which is currently valued @ £2.45bn!

GEO have just released an inspiring video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR5RBaihen0 - shame ORR can't do something similar. The SP dropping every day is extremely uninspiring!

I tend to find the loudest voices don't necessarily make the best calls. My smallest holding is my best performer today - up 11.36%.

Biscuits for the BOD, crumbs for PIs? Reminds me of Where Are The Customers' Yachts? by Fred Schwed Jr. - a very good read.

That reminds me of one of the Zurich Axioms: if you aren't losing sleep you haven't invested enough!

Very interesting! "According to the Kelly criterion your optimal bet is about 5.71% of your capital." Quite by chance GEO constitutes 6.25% of my PF. I shall sleep soundly tonight.

Dickie3times: In my world it's SQUID - much funnier!

Buythose: I wouldn't know what the score is but GEO is my 4th largest holding, none of which I would recommend anyone to buy! DYOR

"It’s not free but is good value for successful investors. A waste of money for you" had me rolling in the aisles! However, the ticket prices didn't:

We’re excited to unveil our refreshed ticket structure designed with YOU in mind - whether you want to dive into both days @ £129 or limited for time and can only make one @ £79! I would 've thought it's of little value to successful investors although Lord Lee is always worth a listen.

Unfortunately, geology has no respect for reputations! On the other hand, expect fireworks! Or a surfeit of damp squids. Very squelchy! Call the RSPCA!

You sound just like a ZIOC stooge! Apology offered before you demand one! I'm so disappointed! Obviously, PIs have never mattered and it hurts! Just hope we get a result this year and not next! So many opportunities out there, so much money tied up in ZIOC! I can say the same for ORR which is another HUGE disappointment. I'm obviously investing in the wrong shares.

Good luck BIKWIK! Did you really have to spread a 3m buy into 3 tranches? That tells us something. I have a feeling that ORR is being traded somewhere other than here much like another of my holdings.

If that's not a buy signal I don't know what is! It's a binary bet so buy, hold or fold!

I've upped 300% from my initial investment but WTFDIK? Why shouldn't it be even better than GGP? Binary bet.

Eventually if all the LTHs give up! I sold 10% of my holding today because I saw a better opportunity in GEO. I retain 9,000,000 shares and hope ORR will eventually deliver but I'm wishing I'd never invested in the first place! So many other opportunities! Where will the SP be a year from now?

Not sure the herd will arrive before there's any positive news so you're wasting your time RuningNorthFast - couldn't you pick a snappier name? Somebody somewhere told you to pump PYX but you're doing a terrible job!

Name change seems logical but the SP worries me! Far more buys than sells = up 1.69%. I've noticed this with another holding - it almost appears like there's an alternative market determining the SP. To who's benefit? Bigger fish. Which implies if it happens to a share you own it might be a strong buy but WTFDIK?

...so I think we might need to kick the can into 2026. What is the problem? If they've decided to plough their own furrow then there's no problem at all but informing their shareholders would be extremely helpful. Alternatively, a deal is about to be done but I will be disappointed it's in pennies not pounds.

On the other hand, maybe even the overlords want out and ZIOC is sold for an incredible amount. Hello former threshing barn! It's painted black so I thought I'd rename it Stealth Barn which is more imaginative than Mill Barn, next door to Mill Farm. NFN

What a wonderful phrase! I love binary bets so I've increased my holding by 107% @ 0.2579p which was a lot better than the 0.2943p I paid the day before the SP plunged 18.64%. There appears to be a lot of hostility towards GEO - why?

I have a friend who insists there's no difference between buying a lottery ticket and investing on the Stock Market! I would argue the latter involves skill and judgment but discipline is also essential Good luck!

Buythose. Well spotted! Yes, I averaged up and doubled my holding @ 0.2943p in the belief that GEO is the next GGP only to watch the SP plummet 18.64% the following day! In some ways, GEO is just as strange a share to own as ORR - I must be attracted to oddballs as my PF also contains PYX and TOM! I agree that fear of a placing is the most likely reason for the SP weakness here. I would much rather they sold an asset instead of issuing even more shares when it's arguable we have far too many already.

Yes, but I bet not compared to a year ago!
