My opinion the best thing to do with this bloke, is literally absolutely nobody, tune into is talk. Everyone completely ignore him, nobody ask him anything, show him how little we value anything he says, and drop a pretty broad hint that it's time he stepped off the gravy train and made way for someone more capable.

Around March this year I started here by asking the question regarding fix rate bond or staying here. I've (quite vocally) expressed the opinion a bond was the better option. However if nothing drastic happens before years end, this will finish the year very close to where it started. So add div to that and it's not performed to badly in another difficult year, and yep seems I was wrong it's out performed bonds.

I'm not having a go at the company. I know this is a gamble. What I'm having a go at is the individuals who haven't yet clocked the fact that anything this company tells you is worthless. Daniel Betts has zero credibility, his words and performance don't match. I know that,and I've taken a relatively small punt. It's not about my circumstances, I can afford to loose my investment. Its about nieve people quoting company news. Nothing this company says can be taken at face value, and people should realise this.

You all only have yourselves to blame. It no longer matters who says,what where or when,about anything anymore. This company has no credibility left. Its one of the main reasons holding the sp back. Nobody believes anything the company says anymore. Previously stated,its results or nothing here. Merry Christmas. Keep dreaming.

I would have thought by now even the most nieve of us would know by now that any narrative by DB no matter how constantly repeated is worthless, same as the results he produces.

Bit childish and over the top. I take it you had started on the Christmas Blue Nun a little early when you wrote that. Anyway I've ŕeported it.

Nonsense. The sensible thing to do would be to produce gold in a sufficient quantity ,at an acceptable price, so you can finance yourself. They cannot do it, that's evident, that's why it's not a knee jerk reaction. It's just reaction to strong evidence of what we already know. They don't produce the results. That's why we are here. You all got gold price you where hoping for. Its done nothing for you (predictably). This time next year you will all be placing your faith in the future, same as this year. It borders on a con.

People here need to stop writing Dear Santa postings. Dear Santa. I for Christmas can I have gold at $2500 per oz please ,and despite the fact they are perpetually useless, with little interest in the share holders, could you let Hummingbird produce loads of it really cheaply. Thankyou Santa, oh and could you put an Rns to that effect before Christmas so that, this debt ridden, inefficient piece on crepe rises to 20p plus, oh and Dear, Dear Santa could you stop that nasty David Brent putting posts up about results being the only thing that counts, because we prefer our fantasies. Thankyou Santa.

Investing policy doesn't really have a right or wrong in my opinion. Last few years I've re invested automatically, which is probably best policy. However as I'm starting to get on a bit,from now on I'm going to take the cash and have an extra holiday ot two, or some such treat. That seems a good policy for people my age.

Hopefully all the excitement is merited this time, but there is a tendancy here to find an article that says what you want to hear, and it's treated like it's a given factual prediction of the future. It's not,it's one person's opinion . Nothing as actually changed here, we are still dependent on performance, not speculation. One more poor quarterly performance and all the excitement is for nothing. We've had potential for ages. It's performance not potential that counts, remember every guess you make is based around improving performance, and we have yet to see that.

When it comes to maths there are 3 kinds of people. Those that can do it, and those that can't.

Yep my mistake. However gold is not doing anything notable at the moment.

By the way gold hasn't BURST through the 2000 mark. It's hovering around it like it as been for a while. People shouldn't post what they want to happen (we all want it at 2100 plus) instead of what is actually happening. It hasn't BURST through and left 2000 behind.

To be honest I don't have a figure, I'm not clever enough, but based on past performance I'd be very happy with 20p . I'd probably sell at that.

Just a feet on the ground reminder. Mr Betts as been talking the talk for a long time, he's an excellent salesman. He's already got you kissing goodbye to the 20s ,when we are struggling to reach and stay in double figures. Great salesman as he is ,he as yet hasn't matched performance to his words, just a reminder.

Anything can happen? Well who'd have thought it? What will happen is these will continue to underperformed,barely break even after debt payments. Go nowhere, and every next quarter will be vital, and disappointing at the same time. Best just accept you've backed a looser.

Or maybe some of us just like to have a light hearted smile every now and then. You should try it.

Please stop mentioning £3. It always applies the brakes.

Im not arguing, 285 12 months from now isn't unreasonable, but you use the word expect. Can you tell me why you expect, ta.

Bit early for that kind of optimisum Mrmath ,however definitely signs of better times, and we seem to avoided the pessimistic predictions of last week. Hopefully better times coming, anything over 235 by the end of the year good, hopefully better.
