There's plenty of news in the pipeline so it should get there by Easter.

The climb back up has started!

Buys marked in the sell column so we are moving along nicely and once the churn is over this will almost certainly rise quite smartly.

Good luck all holders.

Surfit. Most people lose money on these small companies, it takes timing and not believing everything a director says. For instance, 'we are fully funded,' means, 'for day to day business but if we have a chance we will go to the market for more'.

You don't need to give up investing, but be very selective in the companies you chose and keep to a few so you know what is happening. Be extra wary of AIM. These are not recommendations but they are companies that will almost certainly keep up their success rate this year.

Pan African resources (PAF) - gold miner. Just take a look at the chart. They pay a small dividend but in these difficult times people are buying gold in large amounts, countries are buy it - do some research on this and check out PAF, they are growing and growing with good profits.

Hochschild Mining. Another brilliant gold miner.

Foresight (FSG). Just gone XD and give a really good div of 6.1% today. Had a sharp fall to 400p due to excellent results which is when I bought, and is now catching up. The dividend is worth reinvesting over and over again so this is a possibility for a pension in coming years, it's a gem.

You need insurance and so does just about everyone. Phoenix (PHNX) currently 7.31 dividend is a no brainer, take a look at the chart - up and up. Okay, down today due to Trump but it will fly back.

I bought Chesnara (CHS) years ago and they dish out money to me twice a year with a dividend of 7.24 %at todays prices.

There are loads of other like LAND, LMP, MNG, LGEN. They all seem to go up bit by bit and give excellent yields which makes investing fun. Treat companies like PRD like you would a one arm bandit, you may get lucky, you may not.

Even BATS are going strong although I sold up as I had a really good run with them but I have a target to get back in as I like the quarterly dividends.

All the best and have a great time getting to know some well run companies. The odd one will run aground but there's usually a warning from those in the know.

I bought in today - I haven't held these for years, last time I sold was at about 17p or 18p, I forget exactly but they've been a good earner for me as I seemed to have luck in timing with them.

That said, I lost interest in them, in fact I've been a critic of Paul's, until I read today's RNS. I had to take a double take! It's a no brainer to buy at this price with a mkt cap of only £31.5m.

If anyone cannot see that please go and post elsewhere as I will just filter you for not being able to look a gift horse in the eye.

I do understand there are those in short term pain due to the drop but instead of whinging, BUY some more, they can move remarkably quickly. Good luck all.

On second thoughts it's out of date.

Southmead. Can you add the link please, thanks in advance.

Sort of blue as mid and offer are both .028. Still, more in the buy than sell column and buys mopping up any sells.

Added to that:

The new cabinet is expected to be announced within days and is the first major reshuffle since 2019. The aim is to align government output with the needs of the people (which will make the President more popular). Hence, he wants more women and younger ministers. At present some government services have been halted and it is not anticipated the reshuffle will take long.

As the president wants foreign investment I would hope the written go ahead for Tower will be very soon, he has already given his verbal consent.

The minister of mines was was serving on an interim basis, a replacement for the previous minister who died.

Some ministers appear to have been working independently without collaborating with other ministers. Paul Biya is

expected to form a government that will achieve the projects he highlighted for 2026. Word is that the new cabinet could be formed any day now. But who knows, it could be next week or the week after...?

Maybe the reshuffle is to make sure all are on the same wavelength. The President has already passed this.

I had an email from JA with a snippet of news that is already in the public domain. The Cameroon cabinet is undergoing a reshuffle, and has been for a while, and it is Tower's understanding that the Minister of Mines etc (MINMIDT) is one of the people who will be shuffled out.

It appears from news channels that some ministers, fearful of losing their cabinet positions and the public humiliation of this, have been staying at home, leaving their offices empty.

By the glacial pace they take to get anything done it would appear Cameroon are not really interested in developing their oil industry.

Anyone else here?

I agree with Escapetohome, the dividend is excellent and worth re-investing.

The Board is pleased to extend the Group's strong dividend track record with an interim dividend of 8.1 pence per share (H1 FY25: 7.4 pence), to be paid on 30 January 2026 based on an ex-dividend date of 15 January 2026, with a record date of 16 January 2026. This is in line with the Group's dividend policy which targets a total dividend payout ratio of 60% of adjusted profit after tax. Pay date 30th Jan 2026

Zzzzzzzz as the sp rises!

With all the uncertainties in the world this is likely to rise in 2026 as the demand for gold is unlikely to fall.

Gone blue, no sells. CH rarely gives figures, he is very naive, he conned us into believing we could start sales once the Dominion pipeline had been completed which it was a couple of years ago. He expected gas sales by winter 2023.

Zephyr Energy plc, a technology-driven Rocky Mountain oil and gas company focused on carbon-neutral operations, confirmed the early completion of Dominion Energy Utah, LLC’s gas supply pipeline. Originally estimated for the fourth quarter of 2023, the pipeline is now expected to be operational within the next 30 days. This development has implications for Zephyr’s Paradox Project and provides an avenue for increased natural gas volumes.

Nothing near term though, all kicked into the future with no inkling of a date.
