£11 is still a good SP, you don't have to go back that far to remember wishing for £11! However, given that it has been at £12.40 recently and that since they have posted nothing but good results seeming to be right on top of things I am at a loss as to why the SP is falling? Any opinions welcome.

Must admit, thought we'd break towards £13 today. Watched the Susanne Given interview on bloomberg and she couldn't have bigged up the brand any better (she did stop short of using the phrase "worldwide domination" but only just! lol) . I'm hanging in on the basis that GIVEN TIME there's no reason the SP can't double or triple from here.

Apparently not a lot! £22k in and ZERO out... great investment! I have a balanced portfolio and can walk away from this counting tidy profits made elsewhere (by people who know how to run their businesses!) You guys a Hibu, your company sucks and your attitude stinks. I'm not a fan of Google but what goes around comes around and I sincerely hope they show you no mercy at all.

Can't help but think the clothes in the stores are made for this weather! I am seeing Superdry just about everywhere i look. Am seriously tempted to sell (even if only half) because i've done well on the recent rise but to be honest i think this has legs even from here. IMHO Any opinions?

The last few days have seen the sp slide enough, to top that off with another little "mistake" is remarkable! If I owned fhis business someone would be coming into my office later today for a serious spanking! Ok so it's not gross misconduct but I think deserves a warning at least!!

It's one of those days when i sit here thinking "hmmm...do i double my holding and bring my average down?" Been there so many times before and rushed in, this time i'm playing safe.

If it just comes to light that they are cleared of smuggling that will do me for the moment.

on 29th January we saw an RNS titled "response to press speculation". What i'd like to see is another titled "response to sharholder speculation".

It never ceases to amaze me when people "state" that buys of 500,000 shares at 3.5p "must" be a big player buying in. Some of the comments made on these boards do little to help people get taken seriously. For the same money you could buy 5.5 million shares in Hibu...does that make you a hedge fund?

It's a rough old game out there! If I wanted to buy this company for peanuts or kill it off I would probably do it by circulating a rumour that they were smuggling diamonds! I would love to know where the police got their tip off. Assuming they were losing tax (i.e. being ripped off) the authorities would get the police to storm the offices taking computers, hard disks, ipods, etc. etc! Ian flemming made a decent living writing this stuff!! lol Let's see what happens over the next few days/weeks. Sell if you want, hold if you dare!

There is a difference between a local smuggling problem and the company being complicit. If local the company should treat this as an opportunity to identidy and weed out the scum who have presumably been cherry picking the best stones.

Before Xmas I commented that tender results could be published faster and questioned where all the rare and large stones where. The die hard FDI fans had a go at me and told me those stones were being held back until prices improved! I want a clear statement from Tim Wilkes telling me what FDI know about this and what they intend to do with regard to any allegations made. Personally if there is a little smuggling problem involving local management or employees I would be thankful that any security problem has been brought to my attention giving me the opportunity to address it! I want to see the company distance itself from those individuals by clearly stating that they will help the authorities fully with their investigations.

What do you think the JOB of a CEO is? Did you expect him to say "sorry guys it was a bit rubbish but hey, that's digging for diamonds!". You were telling me about how many fancy coloured stones and large stones might have been included in the tender and perhaps a surprise to the upside was coming, you have your answer...hardly anything and no surprises. My average is less than yours matey but that doesn't mean to say i can't speak my mind. Oh and by the way, I am the one that has been saying that not releasing news quickly is usually a sign of no great news to be released, my point has been proven. what about yours?

I really should read my posts before i press the "Post" button, but i'm a bit too busy for that, sorry!

I've got to admit some of you are extremely positive "what other chance is there to buy into a company for just over 4p?"...That depends on whether you want to pay too much as it happens. It's not excatly heading North now it it? I wanted tender results and i got them but i've got to say i'd replace "as expected" with "average". I wanted to see something special and what i've been shown isn't that. Those who insist that FDI are pulling huge rocks out of the ground and "keeping them secret" are guessing at best. I'll stick with FDI because I am a few grand down and think they will come good in the medium term but the fact is I have no guarantee i'm not staring down the barrel of a shotgun with this one. Anyone who says it's great time to buy when heading south is probably justifying what appears so far to be a bad call and should perhaps not be encouraging others to do the same. At this sort of price yes buy some but don't assume chuck everything at it assuming you're getting in at the bottom.

So where have all the gobby people gone suggesting that Firestone have discovered a plethora of large and or rare stones? The current SP doesn't reflect that. STILL no tender news apart from to say that it was a success. I call fall off my bike, stick out my arms and only shatter my front teeth instead of smashing my brains in and that could be called a success too. Come on, get some news out, i'm getting bored.

I could try and pretend i'm an "expert" but the truth is like anyone else investing here i can only guess what's going on behind the scenes. Speaking as someone who has decided to give this company the benefit of the doubt by investing, it would be nice if they returned the favour by providing a little more news. I am nervous about the latest tenders, no news about what has been offered for sale which if i was pulling blue or fancy colours out of the ground i would be keen to shout from the highest mountain. Will the graph go up or down, when do i jump in and out, that's all i'm interested in. The truth hurts but frankly i couldn't care if this company mined diamonds or made underpants, i'll be honest and say that i'm only in it for the money, so show me the money or give me some facts that indicate the future still looks bright.

If you're still suggesting that I'm not holding FDI because I post some negative comments perhaps you should concentrate on all your other well researched facts like how wonderful the October tender MUST have been because of the LACK of news or how many 100 carat stones FDI MIGHT recover soon. My comments are accompanied by the fact that i hold and will continue to hold based on my assumption that unless the BOD are simply feeding me BS in time it will come good. However, based on the amount of BS dished out by BOD's lately it's a pretty huge assumption! As far as comments regarding DCP, what an idiot I am..I should have posted that on the Taylow Wimpy board where it would be far more relevant!? I'm not looking for a fight but please stop all this "how can a holder post a negative comment?" Others see the stream of facts (sorry guesswork) spouted on these boards and buy as a result, if the posts were better balanced it might actually be doing them a favour.

Tiffany have some degree of confidence in Diamondcorp if the news this morning is anything to go by. I hold both DCP AND FDI and was assuming that DCP were going to be left in the dust..not so sure now?

I am a negative holder is that "balanced"? Rare diamonds are rare because they don't pop out of the ground every five minutes, so what they sell for is of little value to me. A Director pinning his hopes of pulling a Star Of Africa out of the ground would do better with a shovel in his hands than his head in the clouds. The news was that rare diamonds have been found and the likes of Zorns will dazzle you with how great this is but the fact is the tender results being held back makes me wonder not how good the news is but how bad it is. Those shouting about this share a couple of weeks ago have gone a little quieter.Talk of buying more on the fall back isn't inspiring confidence. I am relatively OK with holding FDI but i expected a little more news than we have had and now find myself wondering how far the price will fall before news is released. If the Tender was bad i'm still happy to know that as long as it's accompanied by what will be done about it. My only interest is in what FDI are pulling out of the ground, to what extent does it back up what has been said and how much wil lit help them get where they want to be. Call me negative and sorry if i offend anyone on here but without news i might as well invest in a mushroom grower.
