I cannot disagree with you Belar and most certainly it could be a long haul now , if ever, before our SP rises dramatically. I was somewhat taken aback by your comment, Strangerstill about buying and selling. Given my frequent remarks that we are currently on a roller coaster it makes interim dealing a lot of sense rather than just sitting and hoping we will see profit in the long term. Now that the difference in value between selling and buying is much closer a reasonable upward jump could see me out of here but right now at below 3p I guess I, johnpwh, I have missed the boat. I can only fervently hope that a bigger fish pays handsomely soon for this minnow.. Regards DJ.

You are advised, Bankrupty, that he has rather " fallen from grace" by his later associations and in respect of my former status I cannot condone the dissemination of false information on behalf of foreign entities. Accordingly I am terminating further discussion with you.

What do I think of Dr. Roberts then....expect it's not good. Well here's my response.....and you got me right!

A U.S. State Department report identified Global Research as being part of a network of proxy sites that, while having no visible ties to Moscow, "serve no other purpose but to push pro-Kremlin content."

"It provides plausible deniability for Kremlin officials when proxy sites peddle blatant and dangerous disinformation, allowing them to deflect criticism while still introducing pernicious information," reads the report, published by the State Department's anti-foreign propaganda arm, the Global Engagement Center.

Based on analysis of web traffic on seven such sites from February to April of this year, the report pointed to the Canadian-based platform as the Kremlin-aligned disinformation site with the biggest potential audience. "At more than 350,000 potential readers per article, no other outlet had half as much reach as Global Research"

Maybe these " objects" appearing in our skies are a pre-cursor to Chop-Sueycide attempts (lol)

See what I mean, Bankrupty. You've now introduced zerohedge - a site I have little time for which has never (for me at least) produced forecasts which has lead to good stock investments (...and there are others - British Bullocks etc).

I know much about Florida (other than it has the most lightning in the US. I have realtives there who are certainly not rich and have experienced a bad time, especially medical assistance, attributable to Governors like Scott and DeSantis. Heaven help us if they get control of of much more. Bear in mind that Florida has long been a winter and in some cases a final escape from the colder climes of the north, esp New York and but for our immigration controls might have experience far more second homing Brits than the current ex-pats who are mostly constrained to up to six months at a time. The popularity of Costa Rica is its scenery, prices and stability. Ecuador has seen some popularity but later political changes in Peru and Bolivia have discouraged many US folk.

I'm not entirely surprised about France's unpopularity ..but many of those same countries sought their military intervention when Al Qaeda was endangering. That is the way with former colonies. Africa was known as " the white man's grave, remember. Basically the French have hung on too long trying to retain their colonies as Metropolitan France. Your Labor Government took you out of it before you got chucked out! Germany lost theirs in WWi. Belgium and Portugal were booted and Spain had to make concessions.

Okay - you suggest Victor Orban may want to have an entente with Russia. I'm not sure that his neighbors share that view or even many of his citizens. I guess I'm probably older than you but I remember the son of Hungary's famous soccer star (Ferenc Puskas) staying at our home and telling me all the miseries of the Hungarian Revolution and the Red Army taking control.

Consider a very current matter. Trump is a potential challenger to our current President. Everything points to Donald being a liar , a loser and an intimidator of others. Yet , for the present, he is free to roam, spend as he chooses and enjoy a very luxurious lifestyle in the "Land of the Free". Contrast this with Alexei Navalny.. He also aspired to challenge his current President. He was first poisoned and now incarcerated in a very unpleasant prison suffering sleep and medical deprivation. He may not survive much longer.

So when, mon ami, you decide to buy a nice holiday home in Sochi with all the money you make on your investments ...do me a favor and take that awful Commie Georgia Meloni with ya. My daffodils are in full bloom it's nice and sunny, trees are already blossoming locally. My daughter (working in Liverpool) is looking to a cold wet week!. Cheers matey.

Interesting observation, JohnNth. Ideally we should keep all our wealth for our own benefit and leave ya' all well alone (unless of course you threaten us some way)..

However I believe your recommendation does not fully take into account two very important ingredients in US policy. The first is Corporate interests and the second is the historical ethnicity of many of our politicians. All too frequently, imho, there is a very close That was somewhat contrary to President Monroe's thinking and he was politically described as a Democrat-Republican. And with that, I will try to abdicate my political chat in favor of to AAU. soccer,, automobiles, transport preservation and the preferred interests of others hereabouts..

The Russian " foreign ministry" originally said that it was the UK who blew up Nordstream.

Ron Paul is a waste of space and his dreadful son (whose neighbor just had to beat him up!) is even worse. Libertarians faff about on the fence while real politicians try to sort things out. I'm really disappointed, Bankrupty. I thought you were light years beyond these conspiracy mongers. I fear we have little in common. other than a chasm between our thoughts and beliefs.

Think what you will, Bankrupty, but as the saying goes " thar's gold in them there hills" and this side of the pond we got tons of the stuff....all you have to do is to dig it out and refine it and there is a surplus of gold for " hard currency" . I'm not just taking US and Canada...rare metals and things go all the way down almost to Antarctica. As for BRICS - well sooner or later the Indian population will be competing for the same reserves and markets that China wants and that could drive a wedge in the set-up . South Africa is currently proving it is disorganized and imho corrupt (which is why I no longer invest either there or anywhere else in the "Dark Continent". Brazil, albeit now slightly left of center, has an industrialized and stable future with NAFTA (why do you think "Lula" is visiting Washington right now and Airbus has close relations with Embraer?). I think Poo-tin has proved what Russia is all about (bemoaning the former USSR and citizens' free speech & gulags). No surprise that most of the nice folk around the world have
have turned their backs. China will wait patiently in the sideline ( a bit like us for Salinbas). You need to think, my friend, what will become of the UK. Very little industries left to produce, financial wizards leaving the City for Berlin, Dublin, Paris etc..... no one wants (or is there) to stoop down and pick fruit & veggies. Sick folk dying before the ambulances get to them. Roads jammed up and rail service disruptions. Personally I don't have a lot of support for the Tories ( Thatcherism & Reaganomics effed up both our countries and Trumpy did his best to finish us all off and grab all for himself. Time to remember what this blog should be about before everyone goes to ADVFN or gets fed up with AAU full of tomorrow's benefits and to-day's shares going nowhere fast. Still...if you want to follow the sun but you are no longer an EU member you can luxuriate in Cuba or Bognor Regis (if climate change continues). Happy Valentine's Day!

Hi C&B and nice to talk with you. I think we might be years rather than months before Salinbas brings home the bacon. You' re certainly not being selfish over the dollar rate you may be paying to come over here. For what it's worth I'm equally miffed because 40 years ago I set up a scheme whereby I might retire in UK and invested a fixed sum of my dollars in UK pounds. The exchange rate was then about $2.5 to the pound. Well the scheme finally matured (admittedly with profits) but the initial investment was duly returned at $1.25 for each pound therein. Which is why I'm here rather than say Gibraltar.

UK pound still struggling after Brexit, AAU Share price fallen again, some bigger sells today, so much for all the recent RNS, podcasts, videos etc. Don't we just love our PR folk? At least the US$ is up and we'll be sending loads of tourists to spend in Euroland soon.

meant " Foxtrot Oscar!" not lima

Great Retort, Sewer Mouth (as you have been so described). There can be only three answers at this point. Firstly you can lick 'em. (as the Indians say " kiss my chuddies" ). Secondly, you can comply with NOFECKINGGOOD's suggestion that you FO (as in Foxtrot Lima) and thirdly, John and others hereon had it right when they decided to filter you. I've now decided to join them with immediate effect.

Senile my bum,chum. I've been studying Kitco since you were a fart in a bottle. Clearly Noveckingood has seen right through you.

Well there's been no gold rush to $3000 as forecasted by the know-it-alls last year. I wanna see AAU quickly successful in Salinbas ' cos I've got money invested with their neighbors too.

Earlier in the day, at a street market a few blocks away from the capitol, however, Mr Trump's visit to Columbia seemed hardly to register. A patron at a local coffee shop groused about it being inappropriate for the former president to hold a campaign event on state property, but most did not even know he was in town."There doesn't seem to be the same enthusiasm for Trump this time around," said another local

Sorry M8 but a coyote chewed up your Christmas present and he's been chasing wabbits ever since! Woof woof, Deviant.

Okay Wabbit...let's get this sorted....then back to Ariana.

BRICS

Just ruminating, but if Brazil decided to leave this group and was replaced by Peru....you would have PRICS.

As recently suggested - better to confine comments mostly to Ariana mining.

And 0.10p down we go !

Surprisingly our sp has held firm too, for the moment. Lots of holes for ya'all.
