"keeps getting better" , John? Your quid is now worth $1.18 and gold is just a few dollars above falling into the $1600s range per oz. Mordaunt or Truss for PM imho. The first has years of Tory experience and the latter is hated by Poohtin. At the worst - Paraguay has a reasonably inexpensive citizenship/immigration policy!

Hi Van. Hope you are having a great time - certainly the weather looks warm for the altitude and the water very drinkable. In my former playground (Nevada) it could be rather tricky biking in the mountains. You could end up as " meals on wheels" if the local cougars are having a bad day. I've done a bit of grumbling occasionally and maybe the more so recently (like John). My experience, as you are aware, goes back a long way with AIM Companies and I've been on the receiving end of a few MDs and bosses who were focussed on improving their lifestyles at the expense of their investors. I always believed Ariana to be way above this but the way things have been going and our " hero" living mostly in the Antipodes these days has unnerved me somewhat. As a traveller I never really liked being in the Balkans either. As an American most of my investments have now been re-routed into our USMCA region (which supercedes the former NAFTA aims). Regards, DJ

Gold has now dropped down into the $1700s.. There is no Working Class - just a percentage "Privileged" and the rest of us who ain't very happy. Madame La Guillotine may yet " attend" if this trend goes on and Corporate greed and Big Pharma aren't controlled. it's time to loose " coach class" and try to make things more comfortable for everyone (figuratively speaking).. Over this side of the world a Refuse Collector is addressed politely as "Sir" not "Comrade" and his missus as "Ma'am".

Adrenochrome is a chemical that’s a byproduct of adrenaline. That’s it. It turns out you don’t need to kidnap children and drain their blood. There are many trusted chemical suppliers, in fact that sell it. QAnon (of the far-right American conspiracy and quasi-political fame) have their own twisted ideas on the substance)

bankrupty - I take your point and yes there are business-orientated people who have achieved success in their field and may be well worth studying. Warren Buffett for example and even the oft-maligned George Soros (aka György Schwartz). Have a pleasant weekend,

I think there have been 2 more sales thereafter today, John. Overall though you may be right ' cos LSE suggests you can see more trades if you pay their premium rate (which I don't). Still not sure overall about Boris - he is somewhat flamboyant and from the " privileged set" . The fact is though, your pound lost out quite a lot to both the euro and the greenback and in anticipation of a probable Brexit I had immediately limited my investment in your country since you voted to go " solo" as it were. However its mere mention cost me about 20% of my UK-held monetary value even before your Tories finally won a majority for the changeover. The Scots have now expressed a wish for a referendum next year. Of course they've pretty well booted out most of their former Tories and Labour MPs, Interesting also that Sir Keir Starmer has stated his people should look ahead rather than to continue regretting leaving the European Union. ( I also suggested on here to Paul1Deano that Sir Keir would be taking over from that clown Corbyn - but Paul scoffed at that time - so I then added that Starmer could wind up being your next PM). What goes around comes around in many ways so once again I'm putting forward 2024 for perhaps fortune favoring our investments (and, on a personal note, sensible politicians striving to benefit "ordinary folk " on both sides of " the pond" ...and maybe the Pacific as well. Meanwhile (as I've suggested previously) we're are going to be on a "roller coaster" for a couple of years. Who knows? - Texas may even secede (it's only got One Star anyway!) and the Faeroes could become a new part of Scotland).

Finally, with respect to bankrupty, I think he and I may have very differing views and perhaps not just politically. Certainly I don't share his belief in King World News. imho most of these type of publications peddle controversy and even fright to make money for themselves. British Bulls and M.Fool are not dissimilar. The best way, as often said on here is to DYOR although we have seen some very excellent advice in the past from guys like " Ash" who was brilliant with accounts.

Gold down $ 40 per oz today and UK sterling fallen to $1.19. (Our October AAU divvi might be a critcal time for decisions as well) cos I have serious doubts about 6p by Christmas). Maybe a chunk of rhodium lithium might be better than sovereigns in my deposit box.

Not one share buy to-day. ..... and we've just had some "exciting" presentations recently. The bears have come folks but will they hibernate for the winter?

johnpwh - " I filtered, unfiltered then permanently filtered Paul1deano 3 years ago, so I never read the posts he invariably publishes after me - sometimes wonder of he is being rude as I'm sure he is!"

Be assured that he is. I never filter but I no longer respond to such crap. Today is Canada Day and we have their flag flying for a few hours. "Old Glory " will soon follow on Monday next!

Does this means you might take exception to being told to " get stuffed", John? (lmao). Tomorrow we'll fly our Maple Leaf and Monday it's turkey time and fireworks. Seriously, though, there was a helluva lot of gold found in 2009 near Lichfield...or you could try panning in the River Trent? That way Atkinsons might pay you!

Well now we have the "road map" of where and when we are going as well as the date of the final tranche of our divvi from the JV coming into being.

John
Not quite sure about to-days AAU share dealings especially with the SP down yet again. - there are quite a few larger movements either way than we have seen recently. . Then there is to-days's RNS showing that Stephen Bingham (who I think you have met) has just increased his shareholding to over 4%. That, I think, is more than Kerim owns and is closer to M de V's total. Might we be getting a new Board Member?. I'm waiting our next AGM to see what date will be set for the final distribution of our "JV" related dividend.

Thanks for that, John, but don't get me started. Right now We have a caring President, a **** Supreme Court and Congress, Little help from our supposedly top-grade agencies who were supposed to promote Ariana to the world (and maybe drive up our SP) and Kerim being questioned about the exciting times to come by a presenter gal who just ain't in the same league as Andrew Scott. Over here we have a drought, my summer blooms are all shrivelling up, I'm bitten to bits by mozzies, the new electric Ford Mustang E imho is quite bloody awful and AAU shares have not returned me the profit I was hoping for to purchase a real Mustang GT (V-8). The good news is that my cataracts have been removed and I can now see the Blue Ridge Mountains nearby. I can also clearly see whether there is a Cessna or a Piper buzzing over our home. Hope you enjoyed your weekend ! Time to garden a little before evening sets in. Regards to Ya' all. DJ

All great stuff....lot's of " jam tomorrow," folks.. I've been hearing that for several years now but each time it gets more exciting and is reflected in our Share Price!

Yes, John, it's SP has even held fast by 4.0pm. (It's all Greek to me)

Well at least you got your RNS, John. More jam, folks...tomorrow! Just a few things to deal with in between.. Permits, feasibility of the newly re-assessed Tavsan . No hint when production will actually be making us money. Maybe 2025?

I wouldn't take much notice of any presentation at the present time. The bears have taken over (including the Russian ones!). As for all you Gold Price forecasters? Well your $2000 is nearer $1800. Am I depressed? Well I ain't too happy 'cos all my share values are $thousands down, mostly in the last two weeks. I guess we should all be hoping 2024 will look better. Meantime just enjoy Summer and forget about all this crap. Regards, DJ. Today is our Flag Day - so God Bless America !

Our Ariana sp went down today it seems, John. My fault for expecting a pre-AGM rise. I think that Force 9 started in the Pacific and worked its way across to you. We were forecasted lots of rain but it didn't happen here in SC. The famous mouse got it in Florida though. I take it your yacht wasn't an oligarch's?

No RNS today, John, but the sp just moved upwards .05 for whatever else reason. I suspect it's nearing AGM time!

Yeah, John, absolutely. At your close of trading things finished up around 6k pounds in and 2k sold off. Don't think I'm gonna wait 8 years for Salinbas to take us up to 50 pence though (lmao). By then my USA might have its first HST running twixt LA and San Francisco and you can sit in your mansion and watch the flying pigs. Can you believe the price of cars over here? My wife's car has only depreciated $3000 from what she paid 6 years ago and we've done over 45,000 miles in that time.. It also looks like manufacturers are doubling up on the price of their future electric cars by comparison with their current gas-powered versions.
