@gg. I try to top slice or sell on positive news. It has been working for me recently. Years back I lost a lot of my money by buying shares I couldn't afford to hold long-term. That said I lost most money investing in two companies that I watched turn to dust.

No news isn't bad news. Many AIM investors are easily bored and move their money within hours/days/weeks. I waited 9 months at a 73% loss on this share before receiving positive news. We are moving in the right direction. I can understand why you might sell, but a little patience might prove to be quite profitable, even if you have to accept a paper loss in the near-term.

@Buy-Sell. I'm still here. I don't think a little local war is going to stop Harry getting us over the line.

Looks like the new money has faith in Bill and our little spaceship. How about we end the arguments and celebrate?

Buckle your seat belts. Let's see where the new money takes us.

MrSipp. You said a 50% chance before the end of the year. You did well and we should have listened to you. That said, I still think that the share price rises on this news because we've just been through a massive tree shake. Those of us who are left are in it to win it. As for the new money.......?

@Ian. Who's going to sell?

@BTC. I now own a few silver coins.

Paul Johnson of POW has recently been quite bullish about the future short-term prospects of the POW share price. Might that be because he is expecting fireworks from Blyvoor? We are an RNS away from finding out. Who knows, today might be the day?

@Shouston. Very PaddyGall-esque! No bad thing in my book.

Supposedly DigiGold is gold - "The Royal Mint’s DigiGold service makes gold accessible to more people than ever before. From only £25, you can own part of a 400 oz. gold bar – perhaps the most cost-effective physical format for gold – that will be stored in The Vault®, The Royal Mint’s on-site precious metal storage facility."
In theory you are buying a share in real physical gold. I'm just wondering whether the Mint might be tempted to start selling fresh air. Just my opinion. Apologies for harping on about possible hyper-inflation, but I think it is primary reason why Alien shares are going to fly.

@D3T. The UK Royal Mint are now selling "DigiGold". Don't you know all you need to know when the nation's Mint starts selling fractional reserve gold? All faith in fiat money is very likely to start evaporating and soon. The value of the Altcoins is likely to evaporate in step with it. How about we keep to the real stuff?

MrSipp. My main concern about these "coins" is that that if hyper-inflation kicks-in because people lose faith/confidence in mass produced electronic money, won't all forms of electronic money be rendered next to worthless?

Bitcoin was supposed to be used for financial transactions and as a store of wealth. The blockchain works so slowly that it cannot be used as a form of electronic money, and what future does it really have when the computer servers it runs on use the same amount of electricity as the country of Iceland. I nearly bought a few "coins" years ago when they were averaging about 4 pence. I didn't, more fool me. However, can it rival PMGs going forward? I think not. IMO.

I also have a few shares in DeepVerge and the CEO, Gerard Brandon, makes comments on the LSE message board every few days. It's weird to see him communicating with regular, Joe Soap, investors. Harry might want to give it a go, then again...

@FOTP. Deadlines count. LC isn't the master of events here, but he must have a pretty good idea of when the Blyvoor paperwork will be signed-off. For what it's worth, I think he will come through this time, else he'd have been prudent to have given an interview to gently lower expectations. Hopefully, no news is good news!

@dsrt. Not sure I agree with you. An ill-thought-out message by Harry could sink us. But I get your point.

@Shadowless. Thank you for your analysis. I've been invested here for about a year. I don't know why but I've set my heart on AMC becoming another GGP or better. If you think the share price won't move much when the TEO is announced then that suits me as I've agonising over whether I will sell if we hit 5p. I'm going to do my very level best not to sell before 2022. Hopefully, everything comes to he who waits.

@Shareholderchar. I take your comments at face value. You say you are, in my opinion, massively invested here, with your ear to the ground, so to speak. My only regret is not taking more notice of you sooner! DYOR everyone.
GLA

Barrett. If only that were true. In reality, nobody takes a blind bit of notice of what I say - with very good reason. And as for stocks and shares? I bow down to most of you here! It's a case of watch and learn for me.
