Member Info for desertjoe

OK, Noel, it's pretty bad when you have to add this You Tube link. You are going into the dreamworld of Rupert Murdoch. If you really want to know the real scene about these sort of muck spreaders start going rather deeper as in:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GB_News

Yes, it's a helluva lot of reading but there are interesting direct references to Ofcom investigations towards the end of the article as well as mentioning a few political personages whose outlook ( IMHO naturally) and behavior

might well be construed rather dubious at times.

But then, according to you, I am "an arrogant bullying American (who) probably waves the flag boasting about they won the war with Grenada." Not quite, Matey. My blue passport has a Lion & Unicorn badge on its cover and describes my person as a British Citizen. This same professionally highly-qualified fellow member of your "Bulldog Breed" , considered your previous drivel every reason to bite ya! Thus, "Shempsky" in the circumstances you may also go where the sun doesn't shine (Deano's preferred location it would seem, LOL). Have a nice Trip!

" Watch out for desertjoe. He starts off very polite and tries to give the impression that he is an amicable and reasonable chap, but if you don't agree with him, he very quickly turns nasty and gets offensive and bullying. He is certainly not amenable." I remember a brief encounter about 2 years ago, Shempsky, when you got right up my nose, maggot! Podex perfectus es.

Sorry but I'm not participating in a gang warfare on here. Too pre-occupied looking forward to Fourth of July. Hopefully after then the Magaman will be in clink and Starmer in Downing Street.

Hi slig and with great respect I did not suggest that you were bored. Equally, bankrupty, I am not overjoyed about folk on here (and other boards) kinda hinting that they are not part of some sort of " in gang", as it were. On a personal note I can expect to experience a few differences of opinion, in part perhaps because I am very much in a minority position, thousands of miles from most other participants on here and quite likely have different experience of daily life and culture at times to ya'all (even though we could well share a similar genealogical path).

But in my view there is absolutely no excuse for Paul1Deano's vulgarity and/or sexual innuendos either by referring to specific websites or directed them at fellow contributors (including myself). As a Senior and a Retired Veteran ( sometimes defined as "Wrinkly" in UK parlance) I believe he pushed " his bottom line" (literally, lol,) too far and has been filtered accordingly.

Once upon a time, in the somewhat early days of Chat Boards and within the overall policies of Microsoft, I regularly acted as a Moderator observing the "chattings" of an international motor "Bikers' Board". Undoubtedly we had all kinds of "real" gang members on board and I had use of a special code wherein obvious bad behavior would result in the expulsion of the offending party.

sure, slig2, i sold out in april but i'd previously hinted under what circumstances i might do this. for what it's worth i have made a lot more money shifting elsewhere over the last few weeks then a decade of " promises" from aau top people. having said that i did squeeze a little out of ariana over that period just by buying and selling their shares during the many " undulations". however i do accept that kerim knows his geology and just maybe might also realize one day that punters should see some returns in the short time rather than hints of jam some time " tomorrow" . the bigger fish like barrick gold or franco-nevada (wherein i have also been invested for many years) ensure that their investors are clearly guided with a clear and realistic "road map" and of course, regular dividends. having said that, it is quite possible, in time, that this chat board might grow in number if and when it becomes very clear that punters here might expect fairly rapid and regular remuneration . certainly i will be monitoring for such chance. finally, if folk are bored with the diverse chat ...try some of the big banking chat boards. the ****ging off and sh*t really flies between parties.

Musk fans maybe mistaken ' cos the sun supposedly shines from a certain MAGA

persona's posterior which hopefully may fairly soon find itself balanced on the basic rim of a bog in a very different location. lol.

Hi John. Initially I thought Elon Musk was a kinda financial adventurer who might well ruin folks who put their savings into his Company. Perhaps his Tesla firm might well over expand and go bust. But this article would seem to put a very good light on his career and I was not aware, for example, of his overall priority for his family, his personal spending and his charitable fundings.

Okay, Bonker99, CBS did refer to "experts" and most times I don't profess to be of such eminence . I guess the media are out to sell stories and the " hotter" the plots, the more people will be drawn (and if they are MAGA they will readily believe any tale which might appear supportive for their treasonous cause).

For me the bottom line is that silver tarnishes, I can't afford house staff and It would give me aggro to clean it regularly. So instead I keep bullion in a safe deposit (for a rainy day) , invest in specific mines which so far pay me regular dividends and buy shares in appropriate royalty companies which should further increase in value if the price of gold goes up and production continues in line. My past experience in seeking riches from AIM never turned too positive...so if I think the BoD are enjoying a lifestyle and not sharing my way I am liable to become upset. If that makes me a whinger - so be it. Finally, according to Aussies - it's the " Winjin Poms" who are renown for complaining and I'm on the other side of " the pond" , dude. Let's review it all next Christmas! TTFN

Whatever, bonker99 me old sunshine, but evidently I'm not the only one out of mind...

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-will-gold-be-worth-by-the-end-of-2024-heres-what-some-experts-predict/

Hi bonker99. Thanks for your rapid response and I thoroughly enjoyed all your additional " translations" of previous dialogue. Having said that, It ain't just Kansas. I'm over 1000 miles east and we were in the cellar yesterday for a while during local tornado warnings. They seem to be everywhere together with weird rainfall patterns, droughts and all sorts. But then, of course we have lots of folk who don't accept rising temperatures and think Covid was just a Chinese-made flu! (Funny how most of the believers are MAGA folk!)

Anyway back to gold & silver (not Franz Lehar's version). Yep, both are quite well up recently but over the last decades one could have met disaster at times with several tumblings over a short period. Without a crystal ball I would be very wary but right now with a rising economy and a stable USD (in spite of Putin and Xi hoping to replace the dollar by their own currency) I would think that gold may reach $2500 but certainly not the $5K - $6K range that some hopefuls on this blog have been suggesting. Biden has stopped sending bombs but your Cameron says he is continuing to ship out military stuff because (he says) it's just spare parts. We are a free country so our University Students are fully entitled to protest (of course without violence).

Going where exactly, bonker99 ? I don't do Twitter (or X). If you are anticipating a gold rush going into orbit anytime soon - forget it. It's been said so many times on posts here over the last decade (and not just by Dr. KS). By all means follow the dreamworld of kingworldnews, Motley Tool, British Bullsh*t et all. I would compare most of their utterings to the bloke who tells you to put ya shirt on that certain winner of the Derby! (lmao). Gold and silver has been creeping very slowly upwards. But look at the years it has been taking so far for the biggest and most experienced giants in the mining world to start nearing the the share prices they enjoyed at least half a decade ago. Some have even divested themselves of "sure winners" like the vaunted Hod Marden.

It's really very simple. DYOR. Check out the real world news out there especially what is happening to commodities, shortages and prime needs of the folk far down below the handful of billionaires. That's what it's all about. Gold and Silver blocks are for political leverage. Little pieces are either for personal adornment or to bargain with when you need favors and regular currency is worthless. If you need guidance - speak nicely to Warren Buffet!

Posters keep rattling on about Dokwe's gold deposits being under the Kalahari Desert. This desert would appear to me to be more to the West, in Botswana & Namibia.

But I digress. At long last, Van Van, you appear to be getting the vibes I began to worry about a long time ago about Ariana. John's viewpoint about our " merger" also added worries. Sadly, It seems to me to have evolved as just another example of so many unpleasant AIM experiences which over the years have duped their investors and produced a comfortable lifestyle for those " on top (literally )of their " pile " . Initially I really believed that I had found a wonderful route to riches. In hindsight my time and investment was really many wasteful years here. Thus eventually I lost my faith in all the hype and promises so over the last year I reduced my holding and now I have none. So far by investing my former AAU money elsewhere in real Stock Market leaders, in every case I have gained regular quarterly dividends and all my stock has risen wonderfully in value.

For what it's worth I also decided over 5 years ago to stay well clear of Africa, China and the Russian Federation because many Companies and consequently their investors have been " ripped off" badly by authoritarian corruption.

Interesting comments DVH. Personally I've never had any faith in TW's "forecasts". There have been frequent comments from folk generally disappointed with AIM-listed companies. Often " market makers" have been blamed or there is some "elephant in the room" bringing the share price down with huge sums of money until it chooses to move on..

I'm not going to point fingers specifically but I feel that this article (from my brokers) might well offer some cause for thought about AIM. The Australian & Toronto stock exchanges are specifically mentioned for mining but I thought the suggested downturn of AIM (historically) is an "eye opener". To me it supports DYOR and " Buyer Beware" before one leaps therein.

Enjoy a Great Weekend, Ya'all. DJ

Hi John. Seeking your further thought on an aviation matter ( since it is not relevant here and I no longer have the same interest in this blog) I contacted Cosford but they were not able to recognize you from the somewhat " guarded" description I had submitted.

Cambridge Mineral Resources (CMR) followed a disastrous trail a decade or so but the Company is still going, with one director (Burton). Seemingly it had some link with Atalaya Mining in Spain. However many brokers stopped holding CMR shares and issued certificates of the share holding at that time to all investors. The firm has kinda remained in suspension for a long time, with its registered office moving around the London area, but was never formally liquidated and the remaining director (Mr Burton) announced in December 2023 that he was hopeful that the Company might soon develop its " stalled" interests in Spain. We have much accrued knowledge among our elders on this blog, so does anyone know anything about CMR (or its shares) please?. I have 10,000 shown on my certificate. Regards DJ

Seems like it has lost its momentum - so I'm out.

Hay gnomos, duendes e incluso cerdos voladores.

Hi John. Today has been a wonderful day for law enforcement and will hopefully end the MAGA "mob cult" nonsense and the very unpleasant threats to our legal and civil administrators and their families for carrying out their proper duties.

There might be a loss of protest votes for Biden because so many folk over here felt that he should have halted the arms shipments to the IDF and we should not have opposed or vetoed the UN motions on the terrible events in Palestine.

Finally, whether I return to this site or not depends entirely on AAU success (or not) but I shall certainly monitor things from time to time.

John, like I said to you last March " I have some other good-looking possibilities elsewhere right now and an upward move to 2.5p would see me out again."

Well it's moved, I'm Out and I've profited with a gain of $570 from my last remaining tranche. No regrets but I think AAU might climb a little if and when Kerim finally takes ya'all to the rainbow!

Cheers, DJ (and puff-puff to you know who!)

Hi Waynesplash,

Okay - so I'm about 4 years late in replying to you (from the USA) and hopefully post virus. Yeah Buddy, RTX it's very much a buy. buy, buy (albeit around a hundred quid per share) for the same reasons as your BA (BAE Systems) (which are cheaper).

Regards, DJ

I know I had prophetically recently warned of "The Ides of March" for our Former President who has frequently been admiringly accorded the title of "God-Emperor" by a specific person writing on this AAU site.

Accordingly I wish to be ahead of the media in informing my friends here that the Committee appointed to investigate the attack on our Capitol on 6th January 2021, having listened to hundreds of depositions for over 18 months as well as thousands of pages of relevant documentation have just a short time ago (around 7.00pm US Eastern Time) unanimously voted to refer what they considered to be Criminal Actions organized and pre-meditated by Donald J Trump immediately to my country's Attorney General of the Department of Justice. A wealth of further evidence and information from our Secret Service and other sources not previously mentioned will accompany the Committee's referral in due course and Trump will be served with a subpoena to appear before the Committee to answer for his actions. In the face of this, I doubt whether his current attempts to delay existing Court procedures will gain him anything and he will go down as an unpleasant episode in history. It was also suggested that there will be many arrests forthcoming.

Obviously there will be speculation whether it would be considered viable to imprison a former president. There's always the Tower of London! (lol) However, in hindsight it could well have some effect on this year's National Vote as well as perhaps altering the direction of the Republican Party hopefully towards seeking bi-partisan agreement to govern the nation more effectively.

DJ.
