As I stated, Dim-itry, just tell us which chatroom, date and time and we can all go and see whether you're truthful or a liar. Look forward to hearing from you, such a simple opportunity for you to prove your integrity and honesty...

Quite possible that there will be a lot of legal fees to pay. Once the lawsuit is concluded, the amount of monies required to pay any damages will likely be enough to completely wipe out the entire shareholders' equity here. Looks like a loss in this lawsuit will result in game over for Eurasia.

Really, Dimitry - perhaps you could give us all the time and date when you received that advice? Or you could just fess up to being a liar. Either way we'll soon see you for what you are :) From a personal perspective though, it might be good for pow shareholders if you don't invest, after all your track record at backing losers like Eurasia doesn't bode well! Wishing you a nice life...

Hard to know, elric, but if he's talking about Eurasia being a dead duck, I would have to say that I agree with him!

"DMITRY SUSCHOV; Mergers and Acquisitions Officer" LMAO that has to be the worst title ever given to anyone, ever, in the history of aim. Nay, the history of the London markets! Heck, the worst title of all time ever anywhere! The guy has delivered ZERO mergers or acquisitions for Eurasia for the entire duration of his appointment! Thanks for the laugh, that's been a real tonic to a depressing day with family health issues to cope with.

A good read, thanks for posting. I confess it made me a little sad to read again about PJ's critical family health situation. No aim CEO has worked harder, or taken such a low salary, in the history of aim, that I can recall. Wish him and his family all good things.

Agreed, Peggy. This is going from mildly funny and a bit of a laugh, to an absolute comedy of errors! So much for the most recent pronouncement from NvS that it would all be sorted in a matter of weeks not months! How many months ago now was that?!? What an absolute clown, I bet the people at Bumi thank their lucky stars every day that they got him out.

You say we're doomed, but just remember that all previous civilizations have been wiped out, there's no reason to believe we will be any different. If we aren't wiped.out by asteroids or the effects of massive solar flares, then we could nuke ourselves or, ultimately what I suspect will happen, we will be victims of uncontrollable AI - that really is the genie which can't be re-bottled.

On a different aside, I have a cousin who's just graduated as an MBBS and she knows a bit of basic anatomy and a few symptoms of major disease, but has basically been taught how to look up what she needs in various online databases and catalogues of drugs and symptoms, and various treatment flow charts, and then apply that info. This seems more than a little worrying to me, since an overdue massive energy burst from the sun will likely fry most technology for a long time. I guess it will result in a lot of "in house training days" rather than patient consultations in our NHS (stage direction: simultaneous genuflection.) My elderly mother had an appointment today at her GP surgery after two phone appointments and finally getting told that they couldn't really asset her lump because the photo wasn't detailed enough. Being the OCD type about not wanting to miss this appointment she had waited.four weeks to get, she arrived half an hour early and checked in with an automated screen. She than sat in the waiting room from 130-220pm (because her appointment was about twenty minutes late) in the only central waiting room for this practice of 30+ Drs. During that time she saw not one single person arrive for an appointment or leave! She compared it to visiting a mortuary and wondered if she'd made a mistake and come on a bank holiday or something. And she also never saw anyone leave the consulting room that she was summoned to when her appointment came. (And no her eyesight is rather good, one of the few bits she can rely on these days!) Does anyone know wtf is actually going on with the NHS??? I'm genuinely curious.

Lol yes the rampers here are a complete joke, I remember reading about the expected new all time highs for when the Anglo deal was announced! None of those scribblings have aged very well!!! Needs less than a 20% drop from here to be into the 1s, but fortunately only a 750% rise to make it into the 20s!!!! I'm rather enjoying watching this fall, it will be very interesting to see how low this ultimately goes.

Forgot to say that, yes, it does seem highly unlikely that such a capable bunch as Neo will have bought it to them project if it's a dud. Hopefully once FDP is presented it will be impossible for the material valuation anomaly to continue for long after, since competent industry players and/or money men will simply jump on any dramatic discount and snap up the company. A fella can dream, anyway!

You might be right, Dick - as Lance Corporal Jones would say, 'They don't like it up 'em!'

I don't think it had so much to do with energy prices bring high that made it politically acceptable to hit the upstream players, it was the idiotic greeny leftists and their hatred of fossil fuels. After all, if it had been high prices which made it politically acceptable, we'd have seen higher taxes on supermarkets when food became higher, and possibly also manufacturers and processors like Premier Foods, and for that matter why not stick it to the farmers when grain and cereal prices rise because of Putin's blockade of Ukraine's wheat?

As for the supposed errors of the Truss budget, I'm afraid that approach was the only real hope of getting some growth again in the UK private sector and higher tax revenues. Raising tax rates has been shown in study after study to lower tax receipts by the state, and vice versa.

A frank conversation should be had about what gvmt actually needs all this money for. Foreign aide needs eliminating completely. Welfare needs slashing (the multi-generational unemployed and their family are welcome to buy iPhones, iPads, plasma TVs, booze, cigs and takeaways, but not with MY money.) I am sick and tired of the notion that every layabout has a 'right' to a certain standard of living which I need to pay for. Oh and the NHS should simply be sold off and made efficient - I can assure you that my American friends and colleagues earning $150-200k a year pay less for their vastly superior healthcare than I do through taxes, only to be told that I need two telephone appointments before I'll even be told if I *need* an appointment with an actual Doctor! I'll have died from old age before seeing a GP in the farce which is the c21st NHS. Even some of the most socialist countries (or Norway) which are held up by LIEbour as the model for UK welfare charge the best part of 25 quid for a GP appointment, and 50 quid for a missed appointment.

Here endeth the lesson...

Do you actually know anything about American brokers? Several of my (American) work colleagues have told me in the past when I've suggested certain British companies that either they can't buy equities outside North America in their online brokerage account, or they have to call and wait in a queue to deal over the phone in order to buy foreign equities.

I for one am very curious to see how the volume might change not thus week by the following week, once the Rule Symposium attendees have gone home and reflected on the presentations they have seen. My only concern is that being only London listed will significantly reduce the buying opportunities for the doctors, dentists and lawyers who make up the major part of the US PI market. But it will be very interesting to see if we get some PI nibbles from the US. They don't tend to be the kind of people who bother throwing in a grand, I expect any buys be see will be 5, 10, 20k - might be some strange amounts which make more sense when multiplied by about 125% to give an approx USD amount.

What do you want him to say, exactly? "I stand by my original analysis, the finances remain as compelling as ever and the market discount to true value makes them a strong buy." ST is hardly responsible for the share price movement at jog, he simply analyzed the numbers and came up with a value. Perhaps all of the brokers should also be expected to explain themselves, by which I presume you actually mean to apologize for the share price not meeting your expectations within your timeline? Or perhaps PIs just need to accept that the market price is what it is, and that market sentiment is currently awful, sector sentiment is at least as awful in addition to the general market sentiment, and that it will take at least a full farmout before value starts to materialize. It will come as no surprise to anyone on here that I hold Benitz significantly responsible for where we are - there was absolutely no mention in advance that this farm out would only be a cornerstone rather than the full monty. He's consistently underdelivered in my opinion, and significantly overpaid for his halfarszed delivery. The next time his salary comes up for discussion with the remuneration committee it needs significant adjustment - downwards, by at least 50% in my view. It's all very well for people to say he is paid in line with other aim CEOs, but those CEOs have vastly more experience, vastly more success under their belts, and a few have a history of actually delivering for their shareholders! In addition to all of the wider market challenges, I think jog suffers because noone in their right mind would have full faith and confidence in Benitz, and I remain of the view that he needs to go. And the sooner the better.

Grip* not group

Britain in the group of economic insanity, is also a very interesting, hour long presentation. Not directly related to jog, other than for people to realise what utter dipsheets we have in charge!

I had always assumed it would be a case.of electrification from shore.

Surely you didn't write this, DR? Hasn't aged well, has it?!

RE: All this moaning 26 Oct 2022 12:37

'Expecting a deal to be concluded very soon, but in the mean time, shareholders are entitled to question anything relating to their investment, albeit there are some on this forum who are not invested, but don't have much going on in their lives and they need the attention. People invest into a business based on their own research, and comments from the Board of Directors who say what they can to entice investors in. Some are thousands of pounds down, and rightly or wrongly have put the faith into this BoD. It's extremely condescending to have a pop at people "moaning". It's their right, as it's their money.

From what I have heard, the BoD got a little too greedy back in 2021, and could have taken a deal at a much higher price than we will get from this current sale (but they won't tell you that!), and Keith ignores most investors.

As I said, expecting the news to land at anytime now, but it's unfair to tell people to "Just Relax" - A deal is not done, until it's done.'

Roger, unless the world no longer needs metals, the market has to recover eventually! Same can be said for aim oilers. I do agree it's a presumption, absolutely. But what's the alternative, the world suddenly decides to abandon greening of the economy? EVs getting printed out of resin rather than built with metals? ;-) I would give my opinion about all this net zero stuff, but I would hate Coutts/NatWest to find out!
