Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Cheers, I’ll have a go, but sometimes I struggle with these app mobile phone type things!
Without trying to sound like an old git, I started trading early 80’s prior to the Bigbang in 1986, when you used to have your own nominated broker, send an order in the post and it would be carried out a few days later! Prices hardly moved in those days. Try telling the young folk today, and they won’t believe you!!!
(So no, my call sign isn’t me boasting, but an LSE development by the Thatcher government!!)
Not me! Not showing on this site, where did you see it?
Oh, just watched the Lucyd video – at bit too early in the morning for me – blimey, they could put a few more clothes on!! – I’m sure the youngsters appreciate it, but could give someone my age a nasty turn! :)
And no, I'm not going above 3% as I don't want the responsibilities of a major shareholder anymore due to my condition...my family hardly know what a share is so I wouldn't want to leave them in a difficult position...having said that, the doctors reckon there is life in the old dog yet!!!
And the 5912 just to round things up! It's all relative...40 years ago used to get excited making a few hundred quid as thats all i had, but now has to be a lot more to make it interesting!
Agricore - I wish I was a bit younger – I don’t understand half the ‘Yo dude’ cool speak on this forum – is ‘Bollingers Rectum’ code for something?..who knows!
Had a small, top up today which is not showing yet – seemed rude not to at this price although had to pay 10.15 and hopefully patience is all that is required – keeps the old ticker going if nothing else!!
Agricore - Cracking summary! – I suspect it’s down to lack of actuals and fear of more placements – Once actuals start to flow and show a positive trend, I’m sure things will turn around quickly – Another positive, at least with the placements we are not saddled with massive borrowings with the interest rates increasing!!
Thanks – it does put things into perspective – not a lot I can do about it, so simply shrug my shoulders and get on with things – to quote Shawshank – ‘get busy living or get busy dying’...as I said, everyone has to face it in the end, so make sure you get the balance right whilst you have your health!!
I’ve made good money in the past as an LTH – there was a time my average was 4.8p with a huge number of shares – I was lucky enough to have a seizure nearly two years ago, with a diagnosis of an inoperable brain tumour – so I sold at 30p as I thought I was a goner and was making it easier for the executors. – even then I was a bit grumpy because the price carried on upwards for a while!
Things looking up now as tumour settled down, so I’ve started to dabble again – a lot smaller holding now in TEK, with an average of 16p which at the time seemed cheap, but down nearly £75k in 3 months, but still think we will get there in the end – having said that, still massively ahead of the game if averaged out with the first lot!. So, things could be worse!!
Oh, as you can tell, I’ve also a developed a dark twisted sense of humour – you tend to when facing the grim reaper…Just saying, as everyone must face him in the end!! – D. Monies, just have enough invested to enjoy it, but not to rule your life – although I except it got to be enough to either hurt or celebrate to get the old adrenaline going!!! GLA
They could even bring back unsalted bags of crisps from the 60’s / 70’s, with a little blue bag of salt provided in the crisp bag to tear open and add…maybe Microsalt could provide the little blue bags? Give the bag a long shake with some music and then good to go – ‘try telling the youngsters of today…and they wont believe you!’
As I said before, I’ve been trading 40 years and made very good money on shares (some from the privatisations in the 80’s (including water!) – nearly applied in the cat’s name for one of those – after all, £200 guaranteed profit for every application!!)
I trade for entertainment these days…yes, yes you can apply trends to a lot of the larger companies, but I’m afraid this one has to be down to more of a gut feeling due to the high risk nature and volumes – a bit like putting a bet on a horse – study what form is available and then trust you instinct– trends etc simply don’t apply here.
This one is taking its time, but I’m sticking with it..they are very clever guys in charge (met them a couple of times), but these boffin types are not entirely focused on the shareholders interests – more contributing to world advancement. But I still hope that one of the companies will make it big time and the share price will get ‘swept along’ with it.
Also, you shouldn’t invest any more than you can afford to lose on this type of share..if it keeps you awake at night, you’ve got too much invested! Been there, done that!!
Oh, and I apologise for my last 2 blogs – put it down to silliness on my birthday and a bit of fun – sometimes the mood is too intense on here – life is too short!!
Here endeth the Sunday morning lesson according to BigBang!!
Lordloardsoflolly -Never mind the tealeaves.. As I predicted the ‘Young Parisian are so French’ trend has now led to the third night of riots in Paris…we knew that was going to happen 24 hours before Macron and the debris field could have been avoided.
That came to fruition faster than I thought. My worry now is the ‘underlying double somersault twist trend’ also mentioned or what was once known as the ‘Russian Flic-Flac’. You must agree with that?? 😂😂
I agree – after 40 years share trading, I believe the upcycle ramifications, the underlying ‘Young Parisian are so French’ trend is looking more positive than ever. However, don’t agree with the neckline – more like an underlying double somersault twist trend, derived from the early 80’s?
Humm. Just come in from a few hours in the garden for lunch. Was expecting some increase, not huge but there we go! I suspect it’s a lack of financial information in these early stages and a few false dawns!
I guess it’s mainly the lack of profit margin information – e.g. are they supplying the salt at cost or a loss to get the name out there..or are they already making a profit? I’m afraid I we will have to wait to the next quarter, which will start to give a clearer picture? I do trust the directors, I feel it is a winner, but only time will tell!!
I agree, we need some positive actual figures.
The trouble is, whatever he did it would be controversial – if he took the shares up, we would be shouting that he was taken advantage & awarding himself discounted shares! Hopefully, if and when the price rises, we will be patting him on the back, singing his praises.
I have met him, and he is a very ‘straight laced’ guy who plays with a ‘straight bat’…so I probably avoiding acquisitions re buying cheap shares more likely – only time will tell, but as a lot of shares/unit trusts are down, some may think it’s a good time to spread the risks and there’s nothing wrong with that – all depends on your own circumstances and where you feel comfortable!
