What is your point?

Google also has JAY down 2.05% but who wants to argue? If you do, you must be desperate! More importantly, when will JAY multi-bag?

Not sure what difference LTbeliever's thoughts make! He's been wrong as often as ALB1 has been right! In short, nothing voiced here makes the slightest difference to the eventual outcome. I've lost faith in any jackpot here - simply emerging with a profit is all I'm hoping for. Lesson learned. Just think of all those other AIM companies I won't be investing in! Seriously, investor fatigue could have a lot to do with all these 52 week lows.

GGP's done well since its 52 week low on 4 October: up 71.6%.

Maybe it's time JAY created new offspring?

If we're going to get into Zen I'll get me coat!

With buys to sells apparently 100-1 I'm surprised the SP's not up a bit more.

Yet more infinitesimal volume today! I share Driving's optimistic pessimism - life-transforming jackpots aren't for the likes of us! And he makes a very good point about shares NIPH - that's usually good news just before the herd arrives but where is the herd? Assuming an RNS announcing trading is suspended after a takeover offer far below what we're all hoping for, the herd never will arrive. But they had their chance! As for Jiving's "year of possible haggling" surely not?

Judging by the SP, ZIOC has become a joke and that's not a good place to be. FFS get something sorted!

"Labour won’t change a thing they’re all the same." Up to a point, Lord Copper! I can't remember where that quote comes from but I think it's Evelyn Waugh. The point I was making is that after a Labour landslide the foreseeable future is a bit more foreseeable which provides punters with the confidence the current Tory government has failed to inspire on so many levels so there should be more money in the bottom 99%'s pockets which is good for investment in AIM.

I consider myself a Rational Socialist and will be voting Reform in a very safe Tory seat. Why do Reform's policies never get a mention in the media?

Who could object to income tax starting only when your income is above £20k?

I'm surprised the SP isn't higher but there would appear to be a shortage of investors. More fool them for abandoning the Stock Market except a colossal amount of discretionary spending has disappeared so punters can no longer afford the risk. You can imagine the impact when they all return under a future Labour government in 2024. Normally, a Labour win would send the indices lower but I think they'll do the opposite this time around. Looking ahead, can I suggest the BOD think about buying back millions of shares as soon as they have a few quid in the company coffers?

Who would ever think ZIOC is a potential multi-bagger? Despite a daily barrage of supportive background information it would appear nobody believes any of it!

I wasn't discussing ORR, I was drawing attention to the fact that deals are being done in Africa and the company ORR have teamed up with are a major player in iron ore contract mining. What a coincidence if BCM ended up involved with ZIOC?

Should ORR end up bigger than GGP that would imply an SP of 13.7p if I've got my sums right! Not impossible and a rising gold price would certainly help.

Interesting developments today elsewhere in my PF: ORR, my second largest holding, is # 1 Top Riser after announcing a deal with BCM who, " in January 2023, signed a contract mining agreement with the current owner of the Tonkolili iron ore mine in Sierra Leone, Leone Rock Metal Group, which has Proven reserves of 15.8 billion tons of iron ore. The Tonkolili mine is Africa's second-largest iron ore mine and one of the largest magnetite deposits globally with an estimated operational period of more than 60 years."

Excellent news but the best bit is: "...so it's worth noting that we have four other, neighbouring licences ripe for similar deals or indeed 'go-it-alone' exploration." I'm surprised the SP isn't up over 150% on this news as it completely transforms the Lanstead deal which now looks like a stroke of genius.

Thanks for so much support - I thought I'd be shot down in flames by the usual suspects hence the pre-emptive title of my post. Ironic, as I've just re-discovered Biggles and am amassing a collection. Yes, let's hope something is happening and a swift conclusion has to be in everyone's interest unless Elphick is immortal (which, of course, GLEN is!)

Fair dos - ALB1 has been more often right than wrong, not that that says much! Let's hope we all emerge with a profit after ZIOC is shaping up to be a huge disappointment. A bit like Labour under Starmer.

What difference does it make in the grand scheme of things?

I'd forgotten about the cement! Apart from that, far too many reasons to list for the SP to rocket - was it really up 27% this morning on ridiculously low volume? MMs caught short?

Been here more years than I care to remember and I'm currently down 1%. If a takeover was imminent surely the SP would be much higher? Which implies Mr Market thinks ZIOC will go it alone which is not the scenario I envisaged. If LTHs suddenly give up on a jackpot then the SP will crash but there's still value in ZIOC except some of us can't wait that long.

Surely what everyone wants is a takeover offer! Almost at any price? Anything's better than 7p! Suitors please form an orderly queue and prepare to rub your hands with glee when one of you buys ZIOC at a fraction of its true worth. Pleased to see HOTC, an undervalued UK company soar 164% yesterday after a takeover offer from an American company who will soon change the formula and destroy what they've bought.
