God help the SP if the LTHs leave a sinking ship! As for Eddsy: you had your chance to prove you're not a total idiot and completely missed an open goal. Starting to think you and DANNYBAREY are one and the same under different accounts.

Good luck! As for ZIOC Directors who must read all this crap: YOU ARE NOT DELIVERING SHAREHOLDER VALUE AND WILL ANSWER FOR THE CONSEQUENCES

The 4107738 sell @ 0.0345p is my buy! Increased my holding by 82% - never felt more confident!

Reduced my holding in ZIOC by 4% and banked a 10% profit on the last price I paid in order to increase my holding in TOM by 82%. As for Eddsy, can't you find something to say about ZIOC instead of me? In fact, can you find anything interesting to say about anything?

Ignore it and there's not much else to read apart from the likes of me! Maybe why I get so many ticks? Maybe ZIOC investors want to read something that's real from a fellow shareholder? I dunno! Can this really carry on like this for much longer? The SP has long indicated that it can. Come on DANNYBAREY, suggest a reason for optimism!

Can say the same for many shares e.g. ZIOC - the most disappointing share of all time? Like KP2 it's up the Congo.

If only the rest of us could claim the same! Nobody is interested in investing in TOM which indicates a reason to go large.

Not enough people are DYOR to make the slightest difference. Last week LBE were in the doldrums but it soon changed!

You're sounding a tad desperate! If you loaded up on ORR expecting the rise would continue you've come unstuck! I dunno what holds ORR back but something does. Forget copycat portfolios unless they still exist! It would be a sad indictment of the merits of ORR if they had to rely on anything other than DYOR. Of which there is evidence of very little! I get the feeling you can almost count the number of AIM investors on the fingers of several hundred hands. That's not a lot and might explain why AIM is struggling. Invest in what you believe will turn fractions of a penny into pounds regardless.

Constantly posting "information" which doesn't raise the SP. What's the point? To indicate something is happening behind the scenes while NOTHING is actually happening? I'm half-expecting to be here a year from now with a lower SP. So why not sell and shut up? Good question!

Bbr391 - I hope you haven't lost a lot of money here!

Years ago I did my own research and detected hidden value, sat on it for ages and then exited at the first opportunity!

It didn't work out how I'd envisaged which is another lesson to us all.

Me too! How much longer can they drag this out? And to what purpose? A higher price? We certainly need a higher SP if a takeover is based on multiples of it. Ah! enlightenment darkens my door not for the first time. While I'm here, Reform have lost my vote and now I'll be voting Green on the grounds that they share my belief that nobody within an organisation should be paid more than 10 times the lowest worker. THIS IS RADICAL! Top dog pays himself £500k knowing the cleaner will receive £50k. The repercussions would be interesting. I can't see a downside - how about you extrader?

Is that a World Record?

Obviously, I think the "moaning Minnie's" have a lot to moan about! Especially when ZIOC is around 70% of my PF. I've not noticed much "fighting back" apart from endless information which doesn't appear to raise the SP. Driving made an excellent point on the HMV board: "We really shouldn’t be trading at a £50m market cap, I would argue a £500m market cap would be ludicrous cheap pre-strategic partner announcement!? Something has got to give." If the time has never been better for Zanaga than now then why is the SP not reflecting that? Why are we stuck where we are? Try fighting back against the SP, DANNYBAREY! Meanwhile, any ZIOC investor who actually respects my opinion might like to cast their eye over poor old TOM. Bombed-out, in need of finance, but sitting on a goldmine (looks better than oil-and-sandmine). DYOR! Apologies for ramping another stock but I wish it happened more often on here! On the grounds that anyone who's clever/stupid enough to invest in ZIOC must have other interesting investment ideas. Personally, I struggle to find anything I want to invest in these days apart from the six companies in which I'm already invested. A portfolio of 6 certainly concentrates the mind! And, as we all know, the mind is everything! What you think you become.

Waiting for the herd to arrive assuming it still exists! Seriously, circumstances around TOM are obviously changing for the better so I'm disappointed there's not more interest.

According to Trio Petroleum's website: "We plan to acquire additional assets and to grow a profitable exploration and production company." After announcing excellent results in Uintah County I wonder if TOM might be in their sights?

Regardless of their intentions, their results ought to have improved TOM's prospects so I've increased my holding by 25%.

Please put us out of our misery.

This company could be HUGE which makes it even more sad that it's almost disappeared up its own fundament.

Agree with Crownos that a radical re-think may be required in order to unlock shareholder value.

The other advice is "Don't sell too soon!" but it's extremely hard to get that right! One billionaire, when asked about the secret of his success, replied "I always sold too soon!"

The comment about Labour and CGT was addressed elsewhere and I accept your point about the need to monitor news which could affect your investment. My comment was about ZIOC in particular and my eternal contention that it's a binary bet. In my case, it was buy it and forget about it until the jackpot arrives. As I've said before, I always imagined ZIOC as a piece of paper in a filing cabinet somewhere. Finally, things are happening on the ground and the SP ignores it.

congratzamundo on increasing your holding just like me! it struck me that if every lth increased their holding then how many shares would that leave in free float? can you imagine the effect of someone wanting to buy 1,000,000 shares? we wouldn't need a deal! not for the first time, zioc is starting to remind me of the story about the man who keeps offering higher and higher prices for monkeys. eventually the natives pay silly money to buy back the monkeys they've sold him for sensible money. then he disappears. definition of a goldmine: a liar beside a hole in the ground. without glen's involvement zioc would've have foundered years ago. please get it over with!

and ignore drunken ramblings at your peril - i am ipsissimus and live in perfect balance with the manifest universe.

always bear in mind: the mind is everything, what you think you become.

does that mean: believe in a zioc jackpot and you will receive a zioc jackpot?

positive thinking certainly works (as does negative thinking).

i fly above both. or look upwards. there is no position in infinite space. ******* hell, have i just attained enlightenment?

i wouldn't put it past me and i've been experiencing flashes of divine love over the past couple of days after a family member suddenly collapsed. fortunately, he swiftly recovered but it's changed my perspective.

If you've "always always always lost on shares" then I suggest you devote a lot more time to DYOR and do it a lot better!

It's not rocket science. Hopefully KP2 will give us all a good return - GLA! Obviously, apart from DYOR then Timing is the difference between euphoria and despair. It's tricky juggling everything in four dimensions until the appearance of a gift horse.
