You're bang on the money Englangder. C26 hates Stroll, he's said so on a number of occasions. It's character assassination at every opportunity. There's absolutely nothing Stroll can do that is right in the eyes of C26. Maybe C26 was one of the early AML casualties when Stroll took over? You may remember when C26 first started posting, he said that he couldn't say too much about his background otherwise we would would guess who he was. Someone even thought at the time that he was Palmer. I think he feels wronged in some way by Stroll, which explains all the unwarranted bitterness to Stroll and AML.

You did well getting out at £19. I've stayed in for the duration and topped up some more recently. I'm still happy that long term I will do extremely well. F1 was a joke last year, the way they changed the regs to disadvantage the high rake cars and then as you say, they continued to to make all decisions in favour of Red Bull. I still cant believe what they did at Abudabi. I hope Hamilton absolutely stuffs Verstappen this year!! Anyway it's good if you've heard that the aston is better this year. I think Seb will do well with a decent car and young Stroll isn't as bad as some make out he is. Should be an interesting year :-))

Welcome back Englangder! How are you doing mate? Still holding your shares?

Just 5 days to go to the results when we will get some facts and figures together with expectations for 2022. I expect subsequent results to get better and better as the recovery really starts to build momentum this year, with further acceleration in 2023.

I've posted this before...the author confirms exactly what MarkPatrick is telling us. The author says about a dozen Valkyries at various stages of build.

MarkPatrick...this rather makes a mockery of what C26 keep saying - that they build one at a time taking 3 weeks. We always knew he was talking rubbish though, it's just nice to hear it from someone whose seen it for themselves. Thank you.

MarkPatrick...Sorry, our posts crossed.

MarkPatrick...Perhaps when you have time, you could give a bit more feedback from your visit to the valkyrie build facility. If possible in regard to how the build of the valkyries is progressing would be really informative. Any bit of good news would be welcome relief from the relentless bleating and rubbish that C26 repeatedly regurgitates (-; Thanks

I just think the valkyrie looks absolutely amazing in red. Enough said

This article is definitely worth a read. If valkyrie races at Le Mans it will be great publicity for AM. Note that the author states that whilst on a walk around the factory, he sees about a dozen valkyrie at different stages of build.

Ha ha ha...that's hilarious KiteFlying. I always think exactly the same every time C26 bring up this rubbish about valkyrie timescales. Obviously a number of the cars are built at once at various stages rather than one at once as C26 intimates. He treated us all as fools. Moers said they could build up to a max of 3 per week.

Exactly Tiny, same as you, I've still got all my original holding which I'm about 5% down on, and my recent purchase showing a slight gain. I'd always intended buying more when I got my pension payout in December, but I never for one minute thought I'd get them for a shade over £11. I'd expected to pay about £20, so this is going to work out really well long term. We really have got a top team running this company and people need to stop listening to the likes of C26. If they want to get in cheap, they are running out of time in my opinion.

I think we've heard everything we could have wished for from Lawrence Stroll today. Firstly the rumours of Tobias Moers leaving have been well and truly put to bed...he's going no-where. Next, we've heard Stroll say that the sports cars are to be so radically reworked that he expects them to return to 4000 sales per annum and remember that this is only 12 months away! With the boost from DBX 707 and straight 6 this year plus an additional 2000 sports next year, that's going to take us close to his 10,000 target! Next, he said he is going to renegotiate the debt and start paying it down using cash as we earn it. Just as it should be! Of course C26 has come up with every possible reason why Stroll can't do this. However he's conveniently forgotten that he has said on countless occasions that the bond holders have remained unnamed because the money will have been lent by Stroll and his very wealthy colleagues. Now this may very well be the case but if so, then it is within their gift to renegotiate the interest rate. C26 will of course ask why they would want to do that? Because the company will prosper, share value will soar and they will make far more money from their shares than they would by hanging onto their inflated interest rates for another couple of years. If I'm right, Stroll already knows he's got this deal done.

Hi Mark...could you please copy and paste the content of the Bloomberg article so that we can all read it. Many thanks.

STUNNING!! The more publicity these amazing cars attract, the more they will promote the AM brand.

Contrariankiks - I am my own man...no multi IDS. If anything, maybe you and C26 are the same ID!
The court case...actually I'm pretty realistic about this...none of us know any details and therefore none of us know the likely outcome. The uncertainty is however, holding the share back and the sooner we have an outcome the better. If we lose, I don't expect the outcome to be nearly as bad as you/C26 do.
The results...We pretty much know them already, but what I am waiting to hear is what the initial interest is in the DBX 707, what the initial uptake has been for the straight 6 in China, and what the orders orders have been the vantage V12 and how many they intend to produce. I also want to know the targets for the year ahead. It is all this information and the anticipated improvements for the year ahead that I am interested in as a LTH and , that I expect to have an affect on the SP. As for Rob, he was always very passionate about AML and sometimes found it difficult to control that passion which unfortunately got him banned. However, he was knowledgeable and brought valued information to the BB.

Thanks for the update Tiny. That's really good news about the flexibility around the issuing of the Mercedes shares. I'm sure the shares will rise considerably over the next few months with the more positive results that we can expect which should take us well above the £2.46 level. Its also good to hear that Rob is still heavily involved with the share, he really knew his stuff. Thank him for the info...greatly appreciated.

We should get to know what this year's targets are on the 24th ie. turnover and cars sold. Hopefully these will be a significant increase on 2021 which should influence analysts to re-rate the share upwards. That will hopefully attract buyers causing the SP to increase. Once it starts going up it could increase very quickly due to the limited availability (supply and demand). Quarter 1 and 2 results should be really good with valkyrie recepts and building sales of DBX 707, which should attract more interest in the shares and build on the momentum. I think things are finally coming together this year and will be surprised if the SP remains subdued for too much longer. I've always said that this is a game of patience. We just need to hold our nerve in my opinion and eventually we will all do well. This is all just IMHO of course. Good luck all LTHs :-))

Paul, Son of Swiss, following Invesco's large purchase it means that 85% of shares are now held by insiders and institutions. With only 15% held by private investors like ourselves, all we need now is a surge in buys and surely the share has to rise with such limited availability. The squeeze is coming :-))

Thanks Richard. Are those figures for the UK? Wherever they are for, they are an outstanding improvement on 2021 and beating all their peers regarding % improvements made. That's before the intro of the 707 too! It will be interesting to see a breakdown between models when available.
