Yep, back to the 25 ceiling ..... (c'mon EUZ, prove me wrong and bust through to 30)

Won’t get excited until we nudge 30. Sorry to sound like Eeyore but I think we have been up to 25 and back down a number of times. Perhaps also comes from having an average of 39

I can see filtered messages in my thread. Can only assume the lockdown is getting to some attention seekers. Am I curious to see who they are ? Nah. I know whose opinions on here I value. Highly recommend the filter function

FindMe, Thank you for posting the BPC information. Very reassuring. A rare event reading about BPC on this board .......... :)

Jace, incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. Quite a reassuring read

My holding is in a HL ISA. Anybody know what will be the trading implications if, for instance, BOU lists on e.g. US or Aussie or European exchange. Uncharted territory for me but the reference to “recognised stock exchange” in company communication suggests this is a real possibility. I assume a new account may have to be opened to trade on another non-UK exchange?

Steve, much of the delay was caused by the prevarications of the previous PLP administration so not sure I agree with the patience running dry point

Top post Jim.

Shed, really want to believe that the next bit of good news will inject momentum. But since I posted my ‘Eeyore’ post all we have done is bounce off the mid 20s. It’s being held back. Don’t know why. But that is the evidence. Can’t see that changing. And can’t see anything special happening until a sale is proposed. Sincerely hope I’m wrong but ....

Bro Jon, can I please add conch salad to the menu. Kalik to wash it down. Cheers!

The government made gambling illegal for all residents for one simple fact. A lot of people used to get paid and the next day had lost all the family income for the week. The law applied to all residents regardless of colour. When I was resident I could take my visitors to Atlantis for them to play the tables/machines but it would have been illegal for me to do so as I was working/resident at the time. Now I say ‘applied’ as I have not been resident since the noughties so things may have changed. But it was most certainly one law for all

Fair point

“Will update soon” - Guess that will be positive news. So another fall in SP!

There is sound advice on this BB about taking profits on the way to spud. However, I think I will stay fully loaded for the result of the drill. I’ve not been involved with a successful oily before so at that point I will be in uncharted territory. That said, I plan to offload around 40% of my holding upon good news. I will then look to hold the rest until the company is bought out which might be months or years down the line but will, I believe, be at a significant premium over immediate post drill price. I think that places me at the very high end of risky strategy so this is certainly not something I am recommending to others particularly as my assumption about the long term may be completely wrong. If it plays out it will be life changing. If it’s a D then I will lose an amount I am comfortable (not happy!) to lose.

‘Dr there’s signs of life.!’ ‘Thank you nurse. Keep the patient in ICU until we see signs of a more sustained recovery. The patient has a rather erratic history. I’m optimistic for a full recovery. But a period of monitoring is the prescription. Right, off to do my AIM rounds’ ‘Thank you Dr’

Love the flat line on the above Intra Day Chart on this site - very symbolic of where the patient is. Let's hope for some resuss soon!

Jim, nice post. I may be reading this all wrong. But my sense is that the balance of 'power' has shifted. Whereas we may have been in a position of 'take it or leave it' with regards to FI offers my guess is that we are now saying, look, we haven't bitten off your hand and for good reason. Look at what we are about to do. The implication being that you up your offer or we go for it alone. Stating the obvious here perhaps. But I will not apologise for being a tad excited after 8/9 years! All imo. Best to all. And nice to see things quite civilised

IKing, ‘Institutional Family-Office Investor based in The Bahamas’ - based is the key word. Not necessarily Bahamian. Could be any nationality/flag. Lots of wealthy peeps hiding behind the walls of Lyford Cay.

PWave, I think one difference now compared to the past is the reduction in the political risk. This government more than any other has shown a willingness to proceed even though there are still segments of the population who are not convinced - risk to the environment/tourism etc. Previous governments played to the gallery. I believe this one sees the opportunity to transform the economy. And let’s face it, there are not too many obvious ways to do that. IMO

'Round the Pipe' - 'Round the Bend' - originates from when people were posted to Telegraph Island off the Mussandam Peninsula over a century ago. Winding journey up the Fjords to get there. And then a lonely existance on a rocky outcrop keeping open the wires between the UK and Empire open. Peeps went a bit mad. Back to work .....
