12 solid months of top up opportunities and counting Lovelace.

You've started early Starknight.
Go easy today, you know how fast things go downhill with you on a Friday.

Have a great weekend.

Quality! It really does look like him!!

I guess, if I try to see it another way, that OBC haven't got a strong earnings yet so net book value is the only way to judge them?
If OBC were to start demonstrating solid income, EBITDA and maybe instigate a dividend policy that would force the market to reassess. That's the only thing I can see.
On the plus side if UMBR carries on like this and we do hold "a good chunk", then maybe there could be a return on sale. That would wake things up too.

Yep - most of the time I see it the same way.
It's common practice in Moscow to bluster and posture to get some attention from the big boys in the West - it's worked, with all the big nations in NATO sending over their ministers and presidents to say hello.
I do have a nagging worry this time because Ukraine and particularly the Crimea is sensitive to Russia both militarily and historically. This isn't like a row over a separate eastern European nation, the Russians really do see Ukraine and particularly Crimea as their own. NATO have expanded rapidly East since 1991, so it might be prudent to give the Russians a bit of breathing space before something stupid happens.

The Ukraine thing is wreaking havoc with the main markets.
It's like a warped pantomime, whether he's going to attack or not.
I would hope at this sheltered microcap level it isn't a big factor, but who knows.

Don't worry, you can be assured I've been called a lot worse :-)

No chance Halma - this sidekick can't even spell my username correctly after 2 attempts! :-)
Good historical info though so thanks for that Mandee69

I should point out a Limerick takes a 5 line form like so...

Mary had a little Lamb
And it was always gruntin'
She tied it to
a five bar gate
and kicked it's little.......

Well, you get the idea.

Makes me smile a bunch from Barnsley took that name ( I assume they didn't name themselves after the dodgy Mel Gibson film!!)

Apostrophe done right sir!

Valid point - bad apostrophe!

Sorry - all out of haiku's and verses about Alice :-)
Maybe somebody else needs to come up with a Limerick or something?

....and remember there's one born every minute....

"Should see 27p tomorrow"

*insert appropriate icon here*

Nope. I'm standing my ground Halma :-)
I know from experience for every one of us who actually posts there are 5 who read in silence.
I will take the drunken abuse and keep fighting for the reality of what we're invested in for all our sake.
Fight the arguments but not the man.
Keep your eye on what's real and what's smoke and mirrors.
I believe one day the Phasefocus and other activity here will return to LTH's, but COVID tests are unproven and just a side bonus, wait for news.

Genuine question Castle:
Would you like me to archive this under the "excellent research" Starknight says you post? (admittedly when he's leathered)
Ta

I refer to the last RNS's on financial performance and balance sheet with the following conclusions - I am genuinely reaching out to anyone who can comment to amend or update:
1st December 2021
Holding of AFN = 17.64% which at time of posting = £3.21M @ 74p a share
Ongoing AFN Dividend policy at 6 monthly intervals = 1.5p per share annual = £65k
Holding UMBR at 1,000,000 units (understood at 10% from Chambers comms @ $7.75 = £5.69M

Forget any other cash reserves or other incomes - just forget the Narni bridge etc.
There are almost other debt or debtors according to the balance sheet, that was a total of = £31k

The base NBV of OBC is therefore £8.934M - with zero net income from now on.
We are sat tonight at 14,311,709 shares in issue @ 41p which gives a market cap of £5.868M

This means (for those who are slow on the uptake) the market cap here is £millions below the net book value. No need to expect a penny more of income.....

Go figure.

Darwen68. I advise caution.
Your post is absolutely right. It is both valid and reasonable, which is a recipe to be the recipient of the next drunken abuse.

That's very good news. The risk with the Monsta X move was that Sunday took away attendance from Saturday so the net attendance wasn't actually growing that much.
It is good if we keep Saturday sold out and can fill the second day too - will also be good to see which extra acts are joining and what their media pull is.
The Streaming news is the next development - not long before that. Good vibes but I await the RNS with anticipation.
not quite 5% today but tomorrow still to come :-)

Afternoon Starknight
Sometimes ripping your posts to pieces is just too easy ......
I tweeted the Great Prof and asked him if I could quote him on a cringeworthy ramp - he replied
"sure can!"
How's the hangover after your drunken rant?
