The CFO gets £600K.....!!!

I saw a company once who needed a vote from shareholders for a Placing to occur - that vote was denied and the company subsequently went into liquidation, having no practical recourse to other finance.

People can argue about the theoretical avenues of alternative finance, but the practicalities of such in the current situation, may be somewhat more challening to implement.

The 'Action Group' would be better off (imo) focusing on addressing the ridiculous overheads, cutting salaries and having PKIs introduced on which to base such extravagant remuneration - subsequent Placings will then be limited as a consequence of such.

Anyway, one would hope we'll get news developments soon.

I Stagger Buy too.....much more advantageous in the long run to do that and especially with stocks like YU., with such a small free float and primed on the fundamentals, to really push up significantly in price.

I've kept all my holding completely intact and have even increased after the initial re-rate, selling some of my other dividend stockholding.

My aim for this share is as previously stated ie continue to build up a larger holding with a view towards very appreciable Capital gain as well as a dividend revenue stream.

Now that we have such a strong platform to grow off, the price appreciation from here is fairly predictable and given much of the profit taking from the previous rise has been realized.

I've no doubt we'll get some further positive developments from the company and continue our trajectory to to beyond those previous £10+ levels, hence why I'm not continually monitoring this.....but quietly waiting with Confidence in the investment.

As expected......much (much) more to come!

Atb all

Buying on price dips, which results in yhem being somewhat transient - not really surprising, given the very significant upside potential & strong following, as discussed previously and accepting of various associated risks.

Atb all

The very short, transient price moves are of no real consequence (to me anyways). What yesterday demonstrated (again) was the depth of underlying support / interest in the investment.

The specifics of such can be discussed and speculated on, but the high profile of this stock to the investment community, is apparent.

Interesting times ahead.

8p is almost certainly going to hit very soon.....followed by the anticipated progression towards the 10p plus levels......reasons discussed previously and linked to multiple upcoming Newsflow catalysts.

Good to holding.

Atb all

With a tremendous amount of underlying interest and accepting the factors that need clarification, moving forward - that potential is no where near being unlocked yet with the associated price hike we can accept, but neither dissociating from the risk until such.

I don't have an issue with any poster but prefer to focus on the investment case itself. Harry was good enough to acknowlede that I've called it spot on, with developments thus far & expected price moves and in the face of quite vicious (and continued) abuse from certain posters.

Whatever his other failings, I can appreciate those other aspects of his contributions here......and find his 'inspirational quotes' quite humorous & refreshing actually.

Atb & have a lovely day all

"got to give it to you.you have called this correct and we are back to pre placing price."

Thank you for acknowledging that Harry.

The real Share Profit!! ;)

After the previous re-rate, the price looks really well positioned for the next hike up, as many have taken profits from the previous levels and have noted the current stability........with defined price catalysing News pieces due in the next few weeks.

Looking good & great to be holding MATD stock at this important juncture.

Yes, I anticipated that as the underlying interest here has always been strong and not surprising with the 'potential' upside from current levels.

The viewed the Placing as taking away the more immediate uncertainty regarding Cash to cover overheads and also no doubt, some contingency for 'inducements' consistent with the 'business culture' in the region.

With the obvious marker of June 5th now out of the way, we now have the resurgen e of Buying activity and the move back to the circa 0.12-0.15p levels.

Should be interesting to see what happens next, as no doubt a lot of price dips will get bought into.....as was previously the case.

Like the 'inspiring quotes' Harry - keep them up, lol :)

Right, off to enjoy this lovely overcast & wet day ;)

That pretty much sums up COPL for new or potential investors.

It's an interesting one to be part of, given the obvious massive potential but certainly not one to be overexposed on or hold any significantly large position - imho.

I (fortunately) can walk away from this without a second thought, if all goes drastically wrong - but like the 'possibility' of the cards lining up and realizing the massive gains off that.

Although I do genuinely feel for those caught up with bigger exposures, within the web of Millholland's questionable running of the company, I think every portfolio should perhaps have a stock like COPL in it but heeding the aforementioned caveats regarding the downside.

What the price has demonstrated over the last few days, is just how hard this can move and all underpinned by a very solid investment case.

There is no more languishing in the doldrums but a view to a very significant price appreciation going forward.

Whatever happens to the price on any particular day isn't reflective of what we can, by wide concensus, anticipate in the coming few weeks.

With defined price catalysts due, we all know this will bounce back hard and accepting short term transience, as part of a stronger uptrend in place - we've seen that demonstrated time & time again.

With an RNS due shortly, the Buying will recommence with vigour, as many watch for that and get back on the train to significantly higher price levels than the near term highs.

Many of us can't be particularly bothered for monitoring & watching for such, with the associated stresses involved.

The very great returns will come for those holding stock and through the defined upcoming stages of operational progress.

Enjoy life & reap the rewards of this investment, imho.

If Millholland's intention is to squeeze COPL dry, through an ongoing generous remuneration / benefits - his reputation should precede him, as he looks to other opportunities thereafter with other such companies.

There are different ways to apply pressure to these undeserving CEOs and hopefully bring them back in line, to focus on the job at hand rather than a lifestyle continuation through there position.

Again, just a few thoughts - otherwise the danger is any initiative will be dismissed as'a bunch of silly shareholders' and it'll be 'business as usual' ie ridiculous overheads & ongoing placings.

Atb

Jiving, you may also want to communicate your general intentions to form the 'Action Group' to the NOMAD - it may 'inspire' some initiative from Milholland himself and get the message out there, that shareholders aren't completely naive as to his gravy train ride off the back of them.

Also, a wider Social media initiative to communicate the sentiments shareholders have, which will see him more accountable to his peers in the industry, regarding his running of the Company.

To be in the ongoing situation COPL have been and not to take any firm initiative to significantly reduce overheads is completely reckless & crass - most other Professionals in the sector would recognise that.

Let's make Millholland accountable, from a wider perspective and not just to shareholders.

"`m sure a few weeks ago you were saying 0.08p was your ideal target buying in price?"

No - I'm quite specific in these things.

I stated that I thought a Placing was being arranged and given the price movement around that time, viewed it as being around 0.08-0.095p.

No mention of 'ideal price' and I certainly wasn't far off!

Atb

What you have to be careful of, is inadvertently crippling the Company. How do you define 'uneccessary dilution'? If we didn't have the current round, the Company would have run out of cash and ceased trading.

Was an 'alternative' really viable at this stage of progress and despite the assertations of the CEO?

The real problem may lie with the guy at the top, widely accepted as being self serving and completely dismissive of Shareholder (company owner) concerns......unless he's on a PR drive of course.

Perhaps the issue of 'Overheads' should be addressed, thus by virtue of such, limiting the cash requirements through ongoing Placings.

His salary may want to be capped at a significantly lower level, with some of it defered into shares (thereby further aligning him with wider shareholder interests) and with KPIs in place to 'motivate' him further to hit targets, given his salary is dependent on such.

Also, tight criteria regarding Options etc.

That may be more workable imho.
