Billionaire Clive Palmer is on the record saying that Harland and Wolff, and one must assume Rothschilds and Co, didn't want to speak with him when he was interested in providing a low interest rate loan.

And that's a fact!

Corporatejoke. Good on you for trying, but the takeover of the shipyards appears to have been planned well over a year ago.

All will no doubt be revealed when we know who buys the assets for a song!

Only one thing could have reversed this - rebellion by The People. That appears to be coming, but we might need to a few more months for progress to be made on that front. Unfortunately, we will have likely had our pockets pinched by then!

ATB, FG

How long before Kevan Jones, et al, reveal their hands?

Hmmm....?

And no reason has been given for why billionaire Clive Palmer wasn't allowed to submit a potentially company saving cheap loan?

Might a few more shareholders join Lottie's group should the estimated individual cost of a legal challenge be known?

Takeapuntortwo. Thanks for the tip. I'll bear it in mind.

I remember making a few quid on Taylor Wimpey back in the 2008 crash. I bought at the very bottom (huge risk!). Unfortunately, I sold way, way, too early!

All the very best, FG

Takeapuntortwo. Fortunately it will soon be all over and we can concentrate our efforts elsewhere.

I can't get my head around people who wish other people ill. Where's the value in it?

I spose it takes all sorts!

CaveatEmptors. Each to their own I guess. As it happens I own £10k's worth of Premium Bonds, which are defacto worthless as you need £24k's worth to guarantee a "golden ticket" each month. The missus has the full £50k and has been beating the odds by a long chalk!

I make you right on AIM, but in my Day Trading days I made circa £120k in a single financial year. I had a very simple system that appears to work and I lucky with UFO and COVID (one company made me £30k in a single day! Unfortunately, those days are likely gone for me, but we'll see!

HARL is a strange beast. It had me losing £50k on my Birthday written all over it. But as I've commented before - bad things are happening on the Emerald Isle. Our Lords and Masters think they've got it all locked-down with their informants and high tech, but Old Gumpy is expecting lots, and lots of trouble. Just imagine how bad things could get if The People turned on the EU? Fortunately, there isn't a Gaddafi-type character around willing to provide the bad lads with a few weapons of mass destruction!?!

Anyways, I 'm expecting the RNS of Death tomorrow morning.

And the repeat the words of the great Vinny Jones again - It's been emotional

Hebridean9. No disrespect to you, but millionaire ex-Bankers tend to know people with influence. Maybe you do as well?

As for for legal fees - would it really be circa £50k per shareholder? I personally haven't a Scooby!

Tomorrow should be D-Death-Day. So, we'll know soon enough whether Mr Hyde knows the sort of people who make Wall Street and UK Politicians run for cover!!

I very much suspect that he doesn't. But never say never!!!

How much is a shed load of money? £5k?

How many shareholders groups have a millionaire ex-banker leading them?

Might Mr Hyde make an appeal for other shareholders to join or do we go down withe ship after tomorrow morning's RNS of Death?

Takeapuntortwo. Glad to hear that you weren't mullered, like many on here.

Looks like you picked a bad time to join the HARL Party. Then again, if we had Governments doing "what's best for Britain" you could have made good money over a short space of time.

Harl is a strange one. Seeing the company mentioned in "proper" newspapers and on the TV makes it all seem a bit unreal to me. Although, it will be real enough when my share account drops by another £23k.

As I wrote previously, I'm going to become a bit of a voyeur - reading, but no longer commenting on LSE message boards.

You sound like you've got head screwed on the right was around, so I assume that you will continue to do well.

Old Gumpy can't leave without making a final prediction. That being that the AIM is going to take a Hell of Hit if the Commies running our country actually implement 45% Capital Gains Tax. Starmer and Reeves might never have invested in a company where there's a real risk of losing their shirts!

Wouldn't it be great to be in the "insider's" club - where you win most every time!

All the very best to you!!!

FG

In days gone by I actually used to make money trading AIM shares - quite a lot of money.

I read the message boards of companies that I was interested in, but never, ever, commented.

This morning's kick in the Boll*x has finally brought it home to me, that commenting comes (in my case) with an emotional attachment that overrides objective, sound, investing. I've lost well over £100K in the last 2 years by not acting on my instincts, and I'm hoping that from here on end I won't allow my emotions to get the better of me.

It's a bit of a Catch 22 for those who want to make money, as reading informative posts has actually made me money. So, nobody posting will not only kill enthusiasm but might also deprive investors of knowledge (after separating the wheat from the chaff).

Anyways - what I'm trying to say is that I'm going to go back to observing from a distance.

Others might want to follow suit. Trust me, it's much easier to see the "pump n' dump" gangs in action, "sell on the news", and ruthlessly cut your losses!

Finally - A big thank you to the stokey's of the world!

FG has left the building.

Might there by a "Shareholder" meeting to steer anger towards John Wood and Arun Raman, and away from the betrayal by the Labour, and Tory, governments?

As I've said before my spider sense was screaming at me to sell coming up to the financial accounting deadline. More fool me!

Looks like we lost this one Bubble, but we live to fight another day!!

All the very best to you, and all Long-Term Holders!!!

FG

LevsInvest. If only our current crop of politicians could be banned from standing for election. There appears to be precious few in the Mother of Parliaments who are interested in doing What's Best for Britain!

ButonedUpTheBack. As a Shareholder I'd now like to see that happen.

But, despite being talked-up as a job creation scheme, I could see the news of building illegal migrant housing blocks leading to a resurgence in public unrest!

Only time will tell.

Just in case you aren't already aware. This message board will die a few seconds after any RNS of Death. You might post all sorts, but few, if any, of the LTHs will bother reading it.

Happy Lives - Haters!!!

We are currently in a hot water with Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. How is it that successive governments have allowed HARL to bust?

A lot of FSS design work has no doubt taken place this year and will be transferred onto whoever buys us for what's owed to our fat cat Wall Street creditors. But surely our Royal Navy can't afford any delays to the building of its Supply Ships?!?

The elephant in the room is whether Belfast Docks will become a waterside Housing complex?!? Might that option actually provide value to shareholders. Which, in what's still left of the West's capitalist society, is what companies are supposed to be all about!

Takeapuntortwo. Only three things matter to me at the moment:

1) Are the shareholders about to be screwed over?

2) Will Consuela spend a few days gloating if we are?

3) Will Consuela get his/her just desserts in the weeks/months/years to come?

If HARL busts this comments board dies with it. Conseula will likely already be choosing his/her next target, as he/she appears to have little better to do!

It's sad when you think about it.

I'm very likely going to lose lots of money, but I sense MaryBr is going to lose very much more.

Mary strikes me as a nice person. I wonder if Conseula feels her pain?

What goes around.....

Someone is going to get a £700 Million Defence contract for pennies on each Pound. Unfortunately, they needed Patsy's to pay for it!!!

For what it's worth - Good Luck All
