Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
I'm sure there are a number of factors Knigel - but as the captain of the ship he had a chance to do better with Frankfurt, South Africa, StartArt, O2 (both 22 and 23), late accounts, massive losses, suspension etc.
When one man is the biggest shareholder and Chairman it would be odd to put the blame anywhere else other than a Force Majeur event happening.
If there's just one thing we can all agree on, there's not a lot of good will for DC at the moment!
And what if the "cornerstone" investor doesn't sign on the dotted line - this will fold and DC won't have put £2.2M in
Jimmy - you say I won't address this, but I will and I'm going to now.
The latest RNS is all we have to go on - not hearsay - and in my view it's news that is only slightly better than armageddon - that's a far cry from being positive. I believe we're still suspended...?
We're in this mess because of DC, it's the bare minimum for me that he gets us back out - and even then the best case I can hope for is a relist that takes us to 1p. I'm already in the red and this will halve what's left in my account.
There you go Jimmy - duly addressed. Now back to you.
I note a couple of posts from also night have disappeared - they mentioned "they who cannot be named"
There were no insults or bad language in them - purely a user name.
So somebody who can't be named is still lurking here - in one guise or another
"The more you lot write, the more bonkers you all sound. I think this suspension has sent people doolally."
You see, that's the whole issue Jimmy. I respect the fact some are positive, looking forward etc. but every time I ask for the detail behind this I never get a response better than yours above.
The only factual stuff we have is in the RNS box and all of that is terrible. Being positive here does require more for me than just accepting "hearsay" and supposition about the Chairmans intentions.
A new poster has appeared and I want to see what detail they have other than a warm, fuzzy hope for the future.
Nobody has given us a scrap of evidence for this "cornerstone" investor's identity - and why they would choose to throw their lot into this loss making shell - why not make their money for themselves rather than making us lot a profit?
This isn't stacking up for me.
I note almost all my questions last night were overlooked, so I'm not feeling the love for DC or the mess that is LVCG yet.
All true.
I would like to hear the new posters view on the Start art fiasco too - how benevolent was the chairman when he agreed a £5M price tag for Startart, then quickly reduced it to £4M, then recently scrapped the deal altogether.
Given the recent financials how Startart makes minimal revenue from digital, how does our new poster perceive his track record here?
I would be very keen to hear "new" views on the whole South Africa expedition in 2023 - did that work for us LTH's?
Perhaps we could hear about the "potential" of the Chairman pulling a 6 figure sum every year in fees?
Come to think of it why did his wife leave and how much has she earned in recent years before her departure?
Sorry - I seem to be full of silly questions for our new poster tonight :-) Sue will be disappointed in me.
A new poster appears - gets 4 recommends.
Please introduce yourself - it would be great to know who you are, where you've been for the last 7 months while the rest of us suffered.
If any of those who immediately recommended you would show themselves that would be great too.
It seems bizarre to me (maybe not on this board) that a new poster is optimistic and everybody supports them
Evangelism alive and kicking?
In the mean time please tell us all about the chairman and what you know - how much a top chap he is etc.
I'd love to know how he suddenly has something up his sleeve. I'd love to know how this company has lots of potential - I'd love to see your hard evidence or is it just an opinion? The latest financials say otherwise.
"Kpop lux is very lucrative but execution is key" - maybe so -please talk to us about our chairman's record on this? Elaborate on the O2 in 2023 (and in 2022) - enlighten us on Frankfurt.
You see - boiler room gee ups are easy to post. Most of us have bitter experience. Tell us what you know.
So who is your friend, why anonymous?
What's really in it for them? And I mean the truth here.
This is a lossmaking debt ridden wreck. If your friend sees something already here then it's basically Bricklive.
If your friend is bringing new ideas and wealth then why throw them into this? Good money after bad, or they should have done it themselves - why would your friend want to bail us lot out?
No such thing as a free lunch. Ever.
DC has brought us to the brink with his incompetent running of this shower.
IF (and it's still an IF) this survives until tomorrow he's running very low on credit.
Don't even start with the "DC is our saviour" routine
Today this thread (and the RNS) have taken us to new depths.
I hope somebody saves this for posterity and uses it as a reminder to the rest of the sane community how quickly things can unravel. Psychologists all over Britain must be tuning in.
In the mean time I suggest we all try to have a good weekend. We remain in the lap of our god DC
At least the torture of not knowing is nearly over.
To be left like this for so long is disgraceful by any standards, but it's what we have all gotten used to.
Success and failure do not define us as people, the way we conduct ourselves does. DC - read that and let it sink in.
All the best
