I know it's childish, but I keep chuckling about AnneOwl opening up her shirt. I suppose it's a tad better than opening up her shorts.
A few more hours, and I'll find out whether it was a good thing that my attempted sale of 50% of my holding at 16:29 didn't materialise. If the sp plummets, so be it, I'll hold again. If it surges, it'll need to go up to 50p for me to even begin to make up lost ground. 60p, more like. Sheesh. Chance would be a fine thing.
What a biaatch. I don't trust anyone, so I finally decided to sell half today. Then it dropped and dropped, and when I decided to bite the bullet at 16:29, my platform told me it was too late! That means I'm stuck with this nonsense over the weekend and probably for another few years. Sheesh.
Jay_P, I've "given it away"? Lolz. I'm neither recommending a sell nor a buy. I have watched this share rise from about 10p to briefly touch 50p and then retrace to 0.5p over several years. To call it anything other than risky to be "invested" here is to be economical with the truth. I am prepared to wait it out until it either comes good or it does the same as its former bed-fellow, RRL, and goes to the wall. I wrote off my cash years ago. I was simply having a polite rant that much of what is posted here amounts to wishful thinking (in either direction) or out-and-out deceit.
Since I have been accused of possibly being a de-ramper with a fake sob-story, I'm curious to learn what folks make of the relatively stable sp today (before I head off into the oblivion from whence I emerged this morning). I don't believe for a moment that the MMs play games with this share. If they were being opaque about the true value (or potential value) of this share, there wouldn't be a flat period like this; it would be shifting far more than it is—one direction or the other. If it were undervalued, the MMs wouldn't allow it to remain artificially low nor vice versa. It simply doesn't add up for such a risky AIM share.
I can imagine no reason for the current sp to represent anything other than what people are willing to buy and sell it at right now. Am I missing something?
Ah, yes, BullyBoy may have been my nickname for him.
Goldilocks, I was on iii as Ugly Truth. When RMP shot up momentarily to 50p and someone named BullyBoy or something like that was insisting he knew someone on site and RMP was a dead cert for an sp of 250p or something ridiculous, I went all in by selling everything else (even my DES shares) and loading up on RMP (at about 49p).
Down it went, and by about 11p, I split half and put that on...was it red or black...ah, yes, RRL. That gradually disintegrated into nothing, and I watched the RMP value shrink to almost nothing, too.
Mine isn't actually a sob story. I was an I.T. contractor back then, and I was simply gambling with the extra cash at month end. I was prepared to lose it all, although I never imagined I would.
I won't keep posting, here. I just wanted to get something off my chest that has been tormenting me for six or seven years. The moral of the story is...don't believe anyone—we all have an agenda.
If I'm a de-ramper, I've not been doing a very good job. If you check my account, you'll see I created it in 2010 and have only posted three times. I actually want each of you and your friends and family to buy the hell out of this share and push up the sp so I can walk away.
I only created an account here to join the discussions, but I was active over on what was once iii.co.uk. I lived and breathed Puntland—there was so much to believe.
I genuinely hope this one works out. I have a paltry two grand's worth here. I simply don't give any credence to what is repeatedly dished out as facts, though. As was posted before, I've seen it all before during the past decade.
Not by MMs, but by shyster private gamblers who like to think of themselves as investers. As I understand it, MMs have no involvement in tiddly gambler shares like this; it's an automated process, so we can dispense with the conspiracy theories—it's simply actual supply and demand.
I started gambling, oops, sorry, investing, on AIM in 2010, and by the time Teflon Pete Landau whipped up the wildcat-drill, get-rich-quick posse (me included) with Puntland (after a couple of previous dusters) with his mate Greg in tow, I had accumulated £28,000 in RRL and RMP. There were so many seemingly knowledgeable posters who knew people who knew people—who allegedly knew what was really going on at the drill bit.
It was all so seductive, and all a deceit for the pursuit of individual (and sometimes collective) greed.
As Puntland imploded and the carnage played out, I tried to "catch a falling knife" and buy back "on the bounce" and so forth. My £28,000 eventually turned into about £450. I am not a moron, but the allure and subsequent shock of pseudo-investing played havoc with my sensibilities.
It is my opinion that ventures like this are largely disingenuous, exploitative, and reckless. They are bank-rolled by an endless round of placements (and therefore dilutions of our personal involvement—let's not call it investing) to fund their money-chasing endeavours at the expense of the foolish and gullible, like me.
As a result of this current turn of events, my £450 has swollen to £2,000. My vain hope is that some other mugs can push it up a notch before I cash out, lick my wounds one last time, and let someone else deal with the anguish.
