"There is nothing sensible about doing a fund raise with no floor price. The board should be savvy enough to know how the markets work and know that this will destroy the share price.

Secondly, if it does turn out to be a case of mates rates then that is absolutely criminal. The board are there to look after the shareholders, not their own pockets or their mates. Either way you look at it, this is extremely poor from the board. Shareholder value is clearly not their first priority." btbt makes a very good point and all shaun86 can say is that ZIOC is probably the least dilutive share on AIM. Probably true but mates rates still stink and are not in existing shareholders' best interests. Why didn't they try offering a chunk of shares at a premium to the recent high? How would that have turned out? It would certainly have indicated a true value for ZIOC at this stage in the proceedings.

All da best 2U2 mate! Obviously, I went to Grammar School but couldn't wait to leave! People like me should educate themselves! As should anyone else! Not interested in what is acclaimed by Labour who shut down the Assisted Places Scheme where working class kids like mine got to go to Public School - I think my son might've been the last recipient as he had to postpone a year due to illness.

Veteran10: delighted to hear you're still on board. Yeah, it's life-changing for all LTHs and even new investors buying today!

NewKOTB: call me Mr Pedantic but your grammar interests me! You correctly write "and job would have been sorted" but also write " Should of placed sufficient" and "I know I would of taken up". It's not just you - I've noticed of instead of have everywhere! As a supporter of a constantly evolving language I'm not complaining! Last night I watched a bit of Brighton Rock (1948) even though I can't stand Richard Attenborough. A couple of words in sentences where I didn't expect them foxed me: "lakes" and "milky". Leave it with me.

Veteran10 - are you still a shareholder? I was horrified when I read you'd thrown in the towel. Not sure what annoyed you so much about Monday's RNS.

As the proud owner of several mothballed dodos I hope Kongolasse's analysis is very wide of the mark. I've topped up twice this week and paid more than my previous average on the grounds that no other share offers such life-changing rewards. What could possibly go wrong?

If it's such a bad company?

"10p should be insignificant if your going on about £1.75p?"

agreed! zioc is currently 73% of my pf after most of my other holdings have plunged.

but if zioc fails to deliver i'm up **** creek!

worst case scenario: i end up moving in with my ex-wife!

assuming she'll have me which is doubtful.

nobody would wish my circumstances on his worst enemy!

but, unlike a dear friend who suffered a mini-stroke this week, i'm still fighting fit!

as she was, according to her doctor fitness has nothing to do with suffering a stroke.

gla!

It's still not good enough! When a £500 buy is blocked so someone else can buy the shares as part of a larger order is hardly democratic. But when would Democracy and The Stock Market ever find themselves bedfellows? Dog eat dog and the bigger the dog the better! Which will come back to bite them!

I don't envy £100k daily swings! But the rest of us are suffering similar swings pro rata. I've seen £thousands "disappear" this week but ZIOC remains a binary bet. Horrible feeling this is not going to turn out well! Or the SP would be much higher by now.

Yesterday afternoon from 1600 onwards I tried buying 250,000 shares on numerous occasions but "no price available" from ii despite other trades happening during that period. Not good enough.

Assuming there's a jackpot, what are you planning to do with yours? I'm sick of the Stock Market and living in rented accommodation so buying a house is a no-brainer. My investment in ZIOC is potentially life-changing. In theory, I could've traded my holding recently and made a few grand but I couldn't afford the risk. Looks like it's now heading sub-10p!

"I m also happy he is an Engineer not a salesman......Engineers trust their products , Salesman are extremely loose with the truth."

Karlvonwise hit's TWD's main problem on the head! And possibly betrays his own prejudices. Nothing wrong with TWD technology, by at least some accounts, but they badly needed some good salesmen to bring in the orders which were as rare as hen's teeth. I must say I'm tempted to sell my worst dog and invest the proceeds here but the risk is off the scale.

At least my worst dog has something to look forward to!

Nothing wrong with being very old! And it looks like Mr Market shares your analysis of ZIOC which is extremely depressing!

All LTHs want to see a takeover at multiples of the current SP and 25p is not on! I think true value is multiples of that but I accept LTHs will never see true value. Too many shenanigans in a geographical risk area. Anyway, I've cut my coat to suit my cloth and I'd now be delighted with 175p instead of 225p as I've found a nicer house that's £200k cheaper but ZIOC needs to get a move on!

An acre of land in Alaska for $28 sounds like a bargain!

So many chickens being counted I hope they have somewhere to roost! The future's so wonderful yet the SP is where it is.

What difference has all the "research" made to the SP? Something in the real world changed. Something else needs to change before we all bank our £millions.

Punters banking pennies of profit on phones - it's a game! I posted a comment earlier which never appeared. Ditto a comment on TWD. Has beardozer been banned? Or has his broadband let him down? It's being upgraded on Tuesday. Pleased to see ZIOC # 1 Top Riser on Tuesday. 50p? £1? Most punters can't comprehend the true value, not that ordinary shareholders will see much of it. I'm hoping for 225p.

Entertaining reading but WHERE ARE THE ORDERS? It's amazing how long TWD has survived without the bread and water most companies need to survive. And you can't thrive on bread and water.

"im in because im hoping this will £5 possibly more" sums up any sensible investor's position. From 15p to 500p is a 3233% return! You have been warned.

"May as well seek some other avenues for a small return and then come back here when things look a little rosier, as I'm sure they will one day." It doesn't work that way! Only yesterday the SP was up 10.64% so you must be kicking yourself already. You need to focus on the bigger picture.

Still too much information! Most interesting comment recently was Jiving's "So no single purchaser can buy Glencore's stake without buying out the rest of us." I just wish everything would get a move on as there's a £1.4m property in Swaffham with huge potential I'd be interested in buying!
