PYX Resources: Achieving volume and diversification milestones. Watch the video here.
Unfortnately I was one of the offenders of posting a somewhat less than eloquent description of P J and MDC. My punishment from Admin was a 24 hr ban :-( miker444, a reasoned and level-headed post, and I do hope something can be salvaged from this mess.
miker444, it could also work in our favour, because if any potential suitor for some obscure reason based their decision from cyber discontment, it may have a reverse psychological effect where they may want to ensure that those who lost money in MDC, have an even chance of regaining some of their losses by ensuring a thorough due diligence report takes place before any investment/deal/venture takes place. In all honesty miker444, I understand where you are coming from, but I would be extremely surprised if any decision regarding the future or not of MDC, by discontment of cyber folk discussing or venting their anger in relation to the now defunct MDC. I hope all us can see a little return for our previous loyalty and investment in MDC, but I have huge reservations, but I wish folk the best of luck
Obviously freedom of speech does not exist, irrespective how true it may be or not. It appears it was the expletives that I used was deemed offensive but not the content of my post. I would defend my comments, without the expletives, in a court of law if persons from MDC wanted to sue me for 'alleged defamatory statements' regarding mine and others losses, because i still have very strong feelings regarding MDC, but will not be venting them again in the way I did last time. Someone should be held accountable, but I have no choice now but to wait until Oct 31st to see or hear the out come of my investment.
Apologies for late response, partly because very rarely anybody posts here except me so I tend not check in, and also copped a 24hr ban a couple of days for the use of expletives in relation to the now defunct MDC. The reasons I believe this is a good, well run company who looks after its shareholders are, I followed this company when it was on the ex-plus markets, it was then around 3.5p-4p then. Unfortunately I was unable to buy then due to not having a nominee share account because I deal in certificated form on a 10 day basis. I finally bought in when OMIP joined Aim, and I have never yet seen a bad RNS from them, they pay divi and have had continual growth for the last several years. Things may change, who knows, but this stock is well under the radar, not many shares in issue, small buys move the price, otherwise it has really stagnated since joining AIM. May be it is not a stock that appeals to the masses, but I won't be selling unless anything disastrous happens, I may topslice, but will keep a core holding for the forseeable future. Check all the RNS'S on the ex-plus market which I think is now ISDX market. Good luck whatever you decide
I can't see kammi's comments being removed or kammi banned for asking legitimate questions and stating an honest opinion. My comments regarding MDC and CEO, were removed, because apparently posting messages with the odd expletive inserted are not allowed on boards that the public read, which is fair enough. Below was the message I recieved for my hienous crime, hence lengthier messages from me due to having to curb my more less than eloquent, succinct way of posting angry messages. Your account has been suspended from posting in Share Chat until 10:19 on Fri, 27th Sep 2013 Reason for suspension: Inappropriate post 25/09 of the MDC board. Swearing.
Thanks nadainero, wishing you all the best in your investment choices. I didn't think what I wrote was that bad in comparison to what I read on other threads whilst serving my sentence. I copied and pasted a couple, because I was surprised that Admin had not remonstrated the perpetrators. I was going to send Admin the c & p's to question as to why this was being allowed on a 'public board', whereas I got a 24 hr suspension. Decided not to confront Admin in case I got a life sentence, but I think it possibly was P J, who may have took umbrage at what I'd wrote, but as he has more money than me, he probably wasn't as upset as I was at losing hard earned cash. martin21, I agree small companies, especially on Aim can be very risky, but myself and others, I am sure, would have thought taking over another company a thorough due diligence would have took place. I was led to believe like others who had communications from P J, that they had inherited a lot of problems from their predecessors, but I am not a business person running companies and dealing with folks' hard earned cash, but if I was entrusted with folks' monies, I'd sure as hell make sure there was a thorough due diligence check on previous owner's accounts, assets, etc. before I take the responsibility of other folks money. It was chance myself and others took and it did not pay off, I only have myself to blame as nobody forced me to invest in MDC, but I had belief in P J and actually thought he could turn this company around, but I was wrong. I hold a diversified range of stocks, and this was a punt that didn't pay off. Not a ramp, but PEBI, run by J mellon and COMS are just 2 of my stocks I hold, but I class these as an investment not a punt, as well OMIP, there is no guarantee with any stocks, irrespective, big or small, CPP, springs to mind, but you pay your money and take your chance. There are some very good and solid stocks on AIM with proven track records and some paying divis, as well as some very risky ones, but as folk say DYOR, but even that is not foolproof. Sorry for lengthy message, I think I'm making up for the 24hr in solitary confinement :-) Wishing all MDC holders and non-holders the very best with future or present investments.
nadadinero, I think either Admin, or a loyal supporter of MDC, maybe even P J, was less than impressed with certain posts/posters, hence the removal. Admin explained to me as it is a public board, and what I wrote was not the kind of thing that should be on a public board. I believe I may have used an expletive due the fact of losing several thousand pounds :-( I have been in solitary confinement for the last 24 hours, due to my less than eloquent description on the MDC thread regarding their suspension and my loss of several thousand pounds. Admin, or other took exception to my vivid description of what I thought about the CEO and his predecessors, hence, I was banned for posting for 24 hours which was lifted at 10.19 am this morning. Good job admin or other aren't in my workplace, as I would be serving a life sentence with no chance of parole :-(

There is also the chance the 'naive few' took profits having possibly buying at a lower entry than us who bought in later. Getting p****d of with a couple of my stocks, but I'd like to think this one is a keeper, but will use same criteria oldstocbroker used which is topslice if and when 100% return. Looking again at rivaldo's info, we have some very good investments and J Mellon making this his pet project, i think we will see good re-rate after NAV
rivaldo, I hope you don't mind, thanks This PEBI thread is partly due to its stake in Ampliphi Biosciences (APHB), in which I have a decent-sized holding.
