Member Info for beardozer

What's attracting hundreds of punters to MET1 every day and not ZIOC? Momentum? Very hard for an arthritic snail like ZIOC to move very fast but I'm 100% sure it will surprise everyone before Xmas! Either disappointingly or slightly beyond my expectation. It's hard to plan ahead when I have no idea about the size of my jackpot. So I've assumed it will be even better than I was hoping for which opens up all sorts of investment opportunities like Commercial Property: a former tram shed built in 1903 @ £765k sounds good! An enormous space I'm not sure what to do with - leave it with me!

Pay attention at the back! Things are definitely moving forward and beardozer has raised his target to 10-bagger but apart from that it remains a binary bet!

Except the odds have moved slightly in favour of a satisfactory outcome.

I've reported two of Dustyslay's posts for violating the rules but judging by his posting history he can post whatever he likes! Can LSE please try to enforce the rules - if there's no integrity you'll lose all your serious posters!

Only joking! There's far too much killing people who disagree with you in this mad, mad world. Peace & Love to all ZIOC shareholders (not sure about the rest of humanity!)

Was that a full stop in agreement or disagreement? I suspect the latter. What I want is quantification of "a super-premium buy-out". Obviously, MM knows as much or as little as the rest of us but he assumes superior knowledge. beardozer has raised his expected takeover offer from 200p to 300p - does a super-premium buy-out imply 600p or even 900p? Stick your neck out MM!

Even less interest here than on the proper board - are they all sunning themselves in the Caribbean in anticipation of a huge jackpot?

Where has everyone gone? Only one post yesterday? And two the day before? And two the day before before? Yes, Driving, ZIOC is having a detrimental effect on me too! Detrimental - what a wonderful word! This is the greatest disconnect in the history of AIM assuming the jackpot will be in £££s and not pennies. Is Mr Market right? If so, all LTHs have wasted God knows how many years and the new investors will be disappointed too. Recently I've been reassured that ZIOC will not be sold at mates rates and the new investors are fully aligned with existing shareholders and want to achieve the best possible price. So I raise my target from 200p to 300p but WTFDIK? I think 200p is more than fair while 300p is a lot closer to true value at this stage. Distant stages are multiples of 200p. So I think they can afford to be generous to us long-suffering LTHs and it will be brilliant when they are!

A forum is precisely the place to air frustrations! Why are you here if "when it comes to personal opinions, I tend to place less value on them." Would you rather nobody with a negative viewpoint posted here but instead contacted the BOD direct? I'm sure they'd thank you for suddenly having to answer hundreds of emails every week!

A surprising lack of interest here but at least more buys than sells! And I raise my target to 10-bagger.

Plenty of buys today and the SP is up despite Lanstead's ongoing sales. Will the SP explode upwards after the Lanstead deal ends? There may well be lots of buys in anticipation but I'd be tempted to sell the day before. If the BOD continue to claim that ORR is undervalued they need to provide some figures.

X amount of gold = Y amount of profit would be a good start! X and Y being variable but it might support claims that ORR is very undervalued. As for RLLO99 being a spokesman for the company - I suspect there's one on every board! The basic problem is that most AIM companies are lifestyle companies.

I used to think ORR was different because Eileen invested so much of her own money but who knows? The BOD have accomplished very little yet still draw salaries ad infinitum. Takeover offer incoming while ORR is on its knees? If not, why not? It just gets worse.

I am already experiencing the strange sense of deflation that accompanies success. Job done or delusions of grandeur? I dunno! Looking ahead, where will I invest my ZIOC profits? Latest dream home is a barn conversion @ £945k with a pub a couple of hundred yards away but the road is a busy main road. Goodbye pets - hello roadkill? Looking ahead, I'm interested in investing in SWT but now is obviously not the right time but WTFDIK? Could extrader cast his learned eye over SWT and give me his opinion? I know it's a big ask but whatever beardozer deigns to invest in does seem to do well! Eventually. You may scoff but 4 out of 6 holdings in profit, one suspended and only one loser is pretty damned good these days! And the loser could deliver a bigger jackpot than ZIOC - we'll see!

Meanwhile, in the real world, this morning I sold my 2p placing shares and banked a 1612% profit. I applied for 100,000 but was awarded 1,216 for which I'm eternally grateful.

I can only applaud your sentiments but at least LOGP shareholders have been ring-fenced as regards the compensation.

Assuming there is any! And with an RTO to look forward to shouldn't LOGP shareholders be feeling happy? Maybe not necessarily.

With a current Mkt. Cap of £2m and hopefully lots of producing wells surely it's at least a 5-bagger?

Are you confusing termites with death watch beetle?

Trump is an imbecile who has done more harm than good. At the same time, it's amazing how much he has achieved within his first 100 days! Contrast that with Starmer's performance! As far as I can see he has achieved nothing apart from bombing another country and that always ends well!

I've been reassured that the new top dogs are not intending to take ZIOC private so the SP question is: how high?

Mr Market remains unimpressed despite beardozer increasing his holding today by 4%. I have far too many eggs in one basket but I'm 100% sure a deal will be done - no idea when or at what price. Preferably September and at least 200p per share. Maybe we'll be lucky and receive 300p - who knows? Whatever, it's a lot more than the 4p which led to allthatguff exiting. He's bonkers for not seeing the wood for the trees! It's all or nothing for beardozer - either a very bright future or a not so bright future which I have become somewhat accustomed to and it depresses me. Only invest what you can afford to lose. The very bright future could involve buying a house dating back to the 12th Century and it's not too far from my favourite chippy. Win-win.

I've been wondering for a while but I now suspect you are the voice of ZIOC on this board which is neither good or bad, possibly reassuring when LTHs are in despair. Speed is of the essence! Let's all make lots of money!

Answers on a postcard or trust the BOD! Sooner or later Mr Market will be proved to be wrong but sooner or later we're also all dead! The easy answer is a takeover offer and it will be over 1p! YankeeDoodler doesn't know what they're talking about! I agree 2p was fanciful but 1p is doable and a lot more than 0.26p! Now is an ideal time for a predator to pounce while ORR is under the Lanstead lash but it will never happen! If so, I'm starting to question why I'm invested.

Why not? And with so few shares available it's going to be a rollercoaster!
