Hopes raised on Thursday but dashed on Friday! What exactly is a "worked buy"? If someone wants to buy 2m shares how does buying them in small amounts help? Doesn't anyone notice? ZIOC still managed not to rocket after a huge buy. Makes me wonder how many shares need to be bought before the SP hits 50p and Veteran10 will have to review his exit strategy!

Not more fund raising! Aaaaagh! How I see it working is they concentrate on their major assets and sell off everything else. That would raise the SP but, ideally, sell the whole company! So far, investing in a gold explorer has got me nowhere! And that's with the POG where it is! Value has to be realised sooner or later or what's the point? Low SP might mean a low takeover offer but not if there are several interested parties. I'd take 2p tomorrow!

What is confidence? Feeling or showing certainty about something. Buddha, according to my mousemat, said "The mind is everything, what you think you become." In days of yore it was called Positive Thinking but also Wishful Thinking.

I think TOM will be successful therefore I am a shareholder. And if it is successful the upside is wonderful! Obviously, depending on what you paid in the first place!

Slowly, Mr Market may re-rate ORR but the BOD could make a re-rate happen far more quickly by generating income and buying back shares. It's that simple! For God's sake don't squander any cash on acquiring further assets or I'm outta here!

And probably Kutzz too which would really depress the SP! And make Eileen despair!

Are LOGP still awaiting compensation for the loss of Barryroe? As I understand it, LOGP would have to compete with other oil companies should the Barryroe licence be up for grabs again? Much as I'd like to see LOGP merge with PRD, why would PRD need LOGP if they are disconnected from Barryroe and any compensation has gone to ring-fenced LOGP shareholders?

A bottle of 14.5% California Chardonnay from Sainsbury's and a few cans of Mahou Spanish lager. Obviously, I invested in TOM while not under the influence and I remain confident.

Forget the wasted 15 years and concentrate on the future! Circumstances have definitely changed so let's hope the outcome has as well.

You may well get your wish Veteran10 but 50p is nowhere near enough for me whose life expectancy is somewhat shorter than yours. I fear being shafted by the new top dogs but I have to admit that 50p is preferable to waiting beyond the grave! We small investors have no power - they can do what they like and don't they know it!

"Everyone is entitled to their views. I didn't say your were wrong. Rightly or wrongly, I am more of a Less is More type."

Not sure what your views are except you seem to be in favour of a highly profitable outcome. More or less.

"I just dont get why you guys are so increasingly desperate to populate the 2 message board with anything and everything that has even just lite touch point to iron ore in Africa. Nay iron ore globally."

Nobody's desperate - ZIOC just happens to have two very erudite shareholders who love to pontificate.

One of them aspires "to entertain; to educate; and to enrich" while the other doesn't!

Could "an arrangement" make finance no longer a problem? I don't think I've ever had more belief in a share than I have in TOM. Other crackpot schemes are available and I'm invested in some of them in the hope crackpot becomes jackpot. It's already happened for me three times but it's not always obvious to me that the jackpot has been hit!

It has nothing to do with faith, it's all about timing! Some astute investors will have made a fortune here and moved on. Or re-bought at bargain basement prices in the hope of rinse & repeat. I think most of the early rise was due to the very limited offer to shareholders to buy @ 2p which turned out to not be restricted to existing shareholders. Hence everyone and his dog piled in, overlooking the £100k limit to cheap shares. So every shareholder ended up with a derisory number of shares but they were worth over 10x what we'd paid. Now the pigeons are coming home to roost. Or are they? With so few shares available (at least for now) MET1 is likely to go up and down like a bride's nightie.

Buys and sells being reported correctly or incorrectly is an endless problem on here so get used to it!

Blind optimism has no place here, StockCheque! But I'm happy with a binary bet! This could be huge if only they manage it right - so get on with it!

Punished for swearing again - will I never learn? actually i prefer lower case.

you have to be american and i love you! trump is almost senile but **** happens!

"oh well, its all about what you like and what you dont like then, is it. " - yes! i post whatever i want!

"but thanks for giving us some insight into your thinking - @i wouldn't want to be out of zioc over a long weekend@"

"i wouldn't want to be out over the weekend" is a classic phrase used by pumpers in the uk.

i was attempting to make a joke of it by referring to the long easter weekend but it was a joke already.

is it possible to make jokes about jokes?

"i am guessing you are thinking you are talking to children."

why would you think that? do children invest in zioc? are you a child? the worst thing i can say to you now is "grow up!"

that may also baffle you but it's not my problem! anyone who says "grow up!" needs help! gla!

apart from the above, i am pleased to report that the annual beardozer egg hunt was a success! all eggs were hidden and all found! three grandchildren and the boy next door took part and i just hope they eat their eggs in moderation.

It's hard to see how Simandou was ever an attractive prospect at the price paid! It's equally hard to see how ZIOC has failed to attract a takeover offer at a fraction of that price. I wouldn't want to be out of ZIOC over a long weekend.

At first I hoped MET1 will be that rare beast: an AIM company that actually makes money for shareholders (it certainly has done so far!) but then I read "We are also reviewing a number of other projects which we may bring into the Company, with an immediate focus on copper, uranium, defence minerals and gold." How about getting at least one project up and running first before even thinking about chasing new rainbows? Wishing I'd sold on Monday when it hit 31p! But when it hits 100p by Xmas I'd be kicking myself!

Are you American? Should I boycott you? Can't stand to read "folks"! Last night I happened to watch a programme about the Anglo-Saxons whose pagan religion seemed far superior to Christianity. Valhalla sounded far more attractive than Heaven! Endless boozing & feasting beats wearing a collar & tie in perpetuity. I used to work with a young kid who always wore a collar and tie and I asked him why. He replied "You never know who you might meet!" Priceless.

Post-ZIOC jackpot I will be investing in Dunelm as I like their products. Meanwhile, the shortage of stock has propelled ZIOC into the Top Risers amidst much topping-up by the faithful. Who needs new investors?

The deal is that there are no dealing charges on some dealing platforms. What I've noticed is that tiny trades early doors pay full whack! Later in the day they can often pay a similar amount to punters who employ stockbrokers but I'm no expert.
