Just give us the Dividend!

I think once that's established, we can see Institutional involvement pick up pace, especially Funds that are restrictive in their investments based on a Dividend return.

On a circa 16M share issuance (with much less in free float), the effect on the Share price gping forward will be obvious.

We can bandy figures around and that's fine, but the more pertinent points is the strong platform that's been established on an operational front, providing the foundation for future growth and the monies set aside to address the fca issue.

Certainly a multiple of todays share price and eventually back to its previous levels above £12, given our stronger operational front.

Just the beginning here.

It's okay Mannan, I wouldn't want you or anyone else to invest in that particular stock, especially without any of the requisite understanding and indeed, your previous 'exploits' on that BB.

It was a point of note, addressing the issues in my previous post.

A point of note is my current holding in YU. , which has been publicly ridiculed on this BB by certain posters (YU. know who you are), supposedly indicating my lack of knowledge in investing.

Today it's (currently) on the biggest Risers list, 70% Up and very strongly positioned for future growth.

Certainly no surprise to me and why I view such criticism quite stoically. The point in question though, is again, the dispassionate assesment of any investment, acknowledging pertinent issues and accepting relevant timeframes.

Applied to COPL and within the context of the stated caveats, are the price levels bandied about here credible ie a share price ranging from 0.3p-2p.....and well above.

I'd say yes, but accepting the stages through Operational progression.....and then beyond to actual results for respective drills. However, we also know the more immediate price catalysts that need clarification.

That's some of the underpinning for my 'Staggered Buying' and a strategy, which has been very succesful over my years in the markets.

I hope it helps some investors at least & wish YU. all well (as some of the detractors might put it) ;)

Atb all

A very strong platform for continued growth & price appreciation going forward.

Certainly a new price trading range, imo, as we progress on a more extended trajectory towards previous price levels above £10..... eventually.

I have a timeframe for this, consistent with the aforementioned recovery playing out and eventually taking us back to above the £10 levels.

I think we will have some Institutional interest re-emerging and the impact on such a limited stock availability, is obvious!

This ones a fairly easy one to call (if you like), when looking at it from an Operational perspective, debt free and the traction in said opetations going forward.

Transient movements towards that circa £10 plus are pretty irrelevant, imho.

It'll be interesting how certain Institutional buyers see this - the ones that have divested, did that primarily when the initial accounting issues were communicated - now we have had a re-hauling of those issue, accepting the fca decisions and continuation of Bullish progress.

The initiation of some re-investment would certainly not be surprising going forward.

Goid hold for me as said recovery plays out over the coming weeks / months.

What we were looking to hear from the Company and 'debt free & £14.6M in Cash'

Solid prospect as a recovery play going forward, imo.

"The business rationale remains strong with an enormous potential market for a high-quality service provider of gas, electricity and water to the SME and corporate sector. I believe the Group is well placed to achieve long term profitable growth underpinned by the people and systems we have in place."

I think people oft get caught up in their own egos sometimes, without objectively assesing the investment cases in front of them.

Placing or a form that is essentially / effectively the same thing, whether at a HIGHER or LOWER price, was an option that was categorically denied by many of the most vocal, very active, proponents of the stock on this BB (and other social media platforms).

They've now had to accept that option (admittedly grudgingly), so there's no need to have 'on board tantrums' about it - when assesing investments, we can't afford to be so emotional, where we essentially become Ostriches and stick our heads in the sand.

I was much maligned here and subjected to a co-ordinated campaign of victimisation, but unlike a lot of the Protagonists, I don't let it unduly afffect my emotional state.

Hopefully now, we can view this investment from a more objective perspective, facillitating a more incisive discussion of said investment and 'realistic' issues pertaining to it.

Accepting now the possibility of dilution, how can we view the stock going forward.

Again, contingent on beauracratic requirements being fulfilled and aforerementioned Finance resolved, the Company can be poised to move into actual drilling operations - a major step change from the so called 'potential' that is oft bandied about.

It seems like the addressing of said financial hurdles will be addressed imo (reasoning previously given), but obviously official confirmation via an RNS is required, rather than BB chatter or 'secret emails' from the company to select individuals here.

People keep asking about my position and I'll reiterate what I have stated multiple times (check previous posts) - I implement my usual 'Stagger Buying' approach.

I have had a Holding for weeks:

If the price appreciates due to a catalyst, I'll purchase MORE

If the price drops, I'll purchase more.

That's with a view to a price appreciation moving forward and without being negligent of near term financing developments, which I've discussed.

So, I await further news, with an existent position and looking for further clarity on the issues mentioned.

I don't have the time or inclination to sit on this BB all day, being obsessed with other posters or their personal angst at my own posting.

I hope that by providing an objective, unemotional assesment of the Investment in my previous postings, a more productive contribution to those genuinely interested in this investment, will be made.

Atb & enjoy the day all.

A Dividend introduction now & a 20p share price isn't 'necessarily' mutually exclusive, accepting underlying strategy implementation & expenditure requirements to substantiate such growth.

Indeed, the idea of a Dividend paying Aim stock, with realistic expectations to grow such a dividend over time, would likely greatly boost Sentiment here and given that's what will ultimately reflect on the Share price.

As was quite rightly stated previously, the Management have had a generous hike in their own remuneration, with no initiative on their part to participate in purchasing stock with any of those additional monies in their wallets.

So why give a hoot about the same private investors, who have stuck by this company from its very early days as Top Level Domain Holdings.

If they indicated the initiation of a Dividend previously, they certainly should see that through, imo.

I'm not invested just to support a generous pay packet to the Management team - along with the Harley Davidsons and Designer goods!

Well done for exercising some independent thinking, beyond the concerted (and organized) efforts of certain individuals on this BB.

Here's what I posted yesterday - I hope it'll be useful, as no doubtnit has to some already.

'Now  the mindless ramping & shouting down of reasoned perspectives has ceased somewhat, perhaps we can have a more objective assesment of the stock.

I think it's important firstly, to recognize the obvious ie nothings a 'done deal' regarding fulfillment of bearacratic assurances until relevant RNSs are released confirming such - that helps to construct a more accurate risk profile, along with other factors associated with the investment.

Funding - Placing or Alternative Finance?

The arguments have been put forward previously, albeit some of the 'logic' applied is questionable imho - calculating cash burn to the day, based on historic figures and using that a a basis for 'NO PLACING', especially given the tight timeframes refered to, is naive at best.

I think where there may be some concensus and a more useful perspective of this investment, is how it may develop once succesful funding is in place. Certainly this stock has a large following and the 'potential' for price appreciation beyond said Funding, is quite obvious.

If all the cards stack up, I doubt any purchases at these or recent higher levels will see a loss.....beyond the potential for short term 'spiking'.

However, given that, it would still be extremely reckless or coniving, to not look at the possibility of a Placing, which many of us suspect is on the cards.....again, reasoning previously given.

One approach to the situation and given prospects for significant price appreciation going forward, is to 'Stagger buy'......again, something I mentioned previously but was shouted down on.

In that way, multiple scenarios are addressed with an end game of price appreciation through Operational progress, accepted.

The many spurious posts on myself 'living in benefits'....'living in a caravan' are laughable and really dont have any place in sensible discussion.....and contributing positively to a reasoned discussion.

I am a very succesful investor, have been in the markets for a long time and look at any investment beyond the BB warrior hype.

I hope this post may have helped those actually looking for a more objective perspective here.

Atb & have a good day!'

I thinkmits perfectly reasonable to ask why said individuals have 'miraculously' disappeared after todays RNS.

Obviously things haven't gone to their 'plan', which they're more than welcome to discuss.

I note the current posters here were part of the major 'Ra mping initiative' of a couple of weeks back - that speaks volumes to myself and no doubt many others.

Have a good day all!

'Sensible discussion' has so far been shouted down by said individuals.......I think it's perfectly reasonable to ask for their comments now!

Well, where are they?.......having been so 'prolific' these last few weeks!

Is today their designsted holiday?

Jay12, Shibs, Jiving, Leroy, Harryman.....Mannan??

Where are the Ranpers this morning......??

Lol

So no 'SENSIBLE' discussion then?

Atb

Reference my 09:32 post of this morning - I hope it will help with your own assesment of COPL.

Again atb.

Btw, most of my YU. stock was bought in the mid 40p price range, again as statedbin previous posts and consistent with a 'staggered buying' strategy.

Please focus on Company / investment specific comments, rather than personal rants Shibs, which serve no purpose in forwarding any sensible discussion.

Thank you & have a goid evening.
