This isn't the foolproof arguement you believe it is. Who knows what is happening in that man's life to say the things he is now saying. How do you know he isn't under a work investigation and is disgruntled and lashing out. Or, his family life has fallen apart, and he's going through a breakdown. Or, a midlife crisis and is desperate for purpose and wants attention. By pointing out that he is widely cited, doesn't mean f all, if he's recently suffered a brain injury and is now speaking rubbish. Your claim that he has everything to lose also may not be as true as you make out. His scientific career may be coming to a end and he's looking for new revenue streams. There's plenty of money and fame to be gained from him joining the conspiracy circuit. He reeks of arrogance.
Having an expert in the pocket is very convenient for the conspiracy theorists by the way. It removes any need for critical thought and the theorists just echo the content they've seen online.
This is my last post as this is a solg board.
It's always the way with these conspiracies, adherents of the conspiracy can always point to an expert as their guiding light. We had demolition experts for 9/11, radiation experts on the moon landing, ballistic experts for Sandy Hook, environmental experts for climate change and medical experts for Covid. It's probably true that some of these people do hold expertise in their fields, but so what? There are a 1001 reasons why someone might side with a non evidence based contrian viewpoint. Ego? Money? Notoriety? Revenge? Fame? Psychologically damaged? All sorts of reasons. The only question relevant to those prone to conspiracies is why is it so easy for you to hold these views? What attracts you to the idea in the first place? The answer normally resides in the personal experience of the individual, often a projection of one's own deficiencies; resentment, arrogance and hate being the main drivers. That's demonstrated daily on here by certain posters.
Price 8.88... perfectly lined up for the Chinese
Thanks, I understand the buyout potential but I've always been less sure on what a joint venture means for the value. I understand it's probably better for value in the long term (5-10 years), but I just want to manage my expectations if a JV is announced with a big name, what do my exit options look like. If the share price peaks at say 30-35p, I could have got that price over 5 years ago so wouldn't be an amazing outcome for me. I would be tempted to wait until the mine is built and producing to get full share value.
I prefer a quick buyout, but the way Solg have positioned themselves over the years, I have to consider the option of them self-financing and doing this the hard way. The middle ground to that extreme option is the JV of course.
Quady, in this scenario where Solg source the funding themselves, including a JV, what multiples of the share price do you anticipate?
Is there any truth to the rumours here?
We hear lots of predictions for a takeover price, but what is a realistic range if SOLG enter into a JV? Are we looking at 50p + or are those levels only achievable for full takeovers, or at least the full sale of cascabel.
Stackhigh has won this debate from a casual observer from the sidelines. S/he's put forward reasonable and grounded opinions but it was hinted that this was not allowed because they were 'assertions'! In other words, the confident opinions he/she have communicated have rattled some people on here It's good to have a balanced opposite view to the takeover is 100% happening within 3 months brigade. This isn't group think. I've been caught up in the takeover dream for a number of years I'm embarrassed to reveal. It hasn't happened. Perhaps BHP aren't that bothered in us. I'm desperately hoping for an exit north of 80p in the next 6 months, but maybe Stackhigh will be proven correct. I wouldn't be surprised, given the performance of this share relative to its suggested potential. Time will tell.
If this stock is suspended on a bid scenario, how long might that be for? I've got some house purchase funds tied up here and if the timings are off, a suspension would be very undesirable
Rumours flying around the city that this is going to pop. BHP are walking away from Oz and perhaps now is the time they will make a play for SOLG. Watch this move very quickly when news drops.
Asiamet (ARS) seems to be on the march having just broke a key resistance level and rumours of a joint venture around the corner. Selling a small holding here to actually see some growth. Hopefully will double my money and get back in here before the muppets recruit a CEO.
Very tempted to transfer some of my holding into CGP. Would expext a bigger bounce there to this new drilling campaign. Especially if assays are good. Solg are doing nothing but tread water.
I do not think NM needs to worry about CGP.
