So why would CF tell us at the weekend that he hoped to update us by the end of the month if he didn’t have an idea of where the company was going? As far as we knew before that the company had up to six months to carry out a strategic review. He had no need to put himself under further pressure re a much shorter timescale unless he was having serious conversations? Or have I misunderstood? One thing I do think if it’s as some of my green boxes are probably predicting he probably would give himself and the company as much time as possible. I haven’t sold, so I’m trying to think positively bec otherwise what’s the point of holding

Somehow think the answer might be no Casual!

Think it’s my punishment for filtering so many people!

Mine won’t! Hasn’t worked for ages! Makes me feel better when I can recommend posts at the moment!

Dear Admin - can you please fix the recommend button??

Sorry Bob - just seen your post - wouldn’t have posted mine!

I’m almost certain Emily Gosden posted on FB last week for investors to get in touch with questions they wanted put to CF for her upcoming interview. We all know what being interviewed by the press is like - sometimes you don’t come across in the way you want to or not everything you say is printed. As a SH riding this storm - I know what many investors think, they’ve made it more than clear and yes, some of what they say might well be right - but can we just move on now? We have no choice but to rely on Chris as best we can and there’s an awful lot of us in the same boat.

It’s good to know this board can still make me laugh! - Chesh don’t go in the basement with sweatpants - Rita will go off you!

This board has been a magnet for posters who seem to get off on other poster’s misfortune. So much so that many don’t read it don’t anymore. Plus if at the other end of the scale there have been posters ramping the share advising others to buy when all the time they were secretly selling that is equally as disgusting and something naively I may have fallen for. Everyone who buys shares should know it’s a risk and should take financial advice - I did but went against it bec I wanted to invest in SXX. Maybe it’s too late for some on Sirius but maybe CF has done some more inexperienced investors a favour.

jaskew - if you’re a member of Serious Minerals FB a poster has posted it in the comments of one of the posts. I can’t copy and paste to put on here

Haha Trinityman - I have learnt absolutely loads!!

Must admit when I had my chat to Tristan at Investor Relations I told him I was finding the chat boards very hard to handle. The only way I’ve really coped in the last few weeks is by using the filter. I know what that says about me as an Investor but to be fair I’ve never really pretended to be one. All I’ve ever said on here is what I’ve honestly thought but I do realise now you have to be careful what you say and how you say it

how I understood is CF walked away initially because the gov guarantee was taking too long and went the bond route. Then when it became clear the bonds would be easier to sell with a govern guarantee they were approached again and they turned that down. When I spoke to Investor Relations a week ago they confirmed that Sirius were still in touch with the govern and the possibility of a different type of guarantee were being looked into - even if it was for a stage of the build.

Okay I hold my hands up! When I looked quickly at Adven to research something I read a few posts discussing posters on this board . Def describing me - gut feelings, lucky numbers, connections with Woodsmith name etc. But not many like me on here - lots of very experienced, knowledgable people currently hold shares in Sirius. Can’t believe we’re in this position and not feeling good about it - of course for me but mostly for those who have lost jobs, and are in a desperate situation. Right now when I read articles and some posters who I respect I feel like I should go to a GA meeting and admit to still having hope and try and get cured! But I can’t just turn off from what I’ve always thought. You can lower your expectations, diff timeframe, less return or even no return. But we’re only two weeks in and I do think CF is a fighter and unlike many I think he will do his best for LTH’s if he can. Finance has let us down and could have been handled better but no-one could have really known how awful the current situation was going to be world wide and in this country. It is diabolical. In spite of the shambles with govern I also haven’t written off their support whilst it’s been confirmed by various sources they are still communicating with Sirius. Or that with a few months delay part of the project could still be de-risked and bonds approached again. Or that all that’s been achieved so far is for nothing and I’m not giving up my stake in that until it’s blindly obvious to me (I know it seems that way to other much more knowledgeable people than me but afraid not to me yet). I’ve already proved I’ve called it totally wrong so don’t listen to me. I’ve invested in the story of Sirius and become attached to it - you can’t take advice from anyone and most def not be influenced by someone like me. I can’t get rid of that feeling that there are still viable options open to company - when that goes I will very reluctantly sell - having said all that I’m not adding to my holding as things are, but I’m not selling and investing in another company - for me that’s gambling bec I then would be clutching at straws bec I wouldn’t really have a clue! If we get through this I’ll be relieved to just reduce my paper loss and wait and see what happens with much lower expectations. I did invest in the company and a LT SP. PS Stanley I did play that song really loud late last night!

So does that mean chilting that normal pi’s are not normally treated in the same way as larger institutions or BOD?

Clearly many PI’s have had enough and thrown in the towel and who can blame them - but it’s also quite clear many others have offered the company support so that they can try and improve the position they currently find themselves in. The message has got through I’m sure with a lot of media reporting apart from anything else. If and it’s a big if, we get a breakthrough in terms of the next update and we see a a tiny bit of light st the end of the long long tunnel - I wonder if there will be a chance for shareholders to average down on the back of the next news which will provide a bit more certainty than we have at the moment in terms of averaging down. After all it’s not only the PI’s they need to keep on side - there are some very big hitters who they need to keep on side who came in at 15p.

Two very different posts from FB - guess they highlights where we’re pretty much at currently:
‘Keep the faith, I’m currently on Wilton site and there is absolutely no signs of this job not finishing. Everything is full Steam ahead on this side’!
and
‘well I was let go today, I was an Electrical Engineer on the MHF design team’

deos - I know exactly how you feel about your lab - it is really tough and I’ve been there with a black lab. Try not to think about Sirius and Metro - easier said than done I know!

Chris - I had a peak as well - OMG! And I think this board is bad! But there was a mention of it. I’m
sure they probably were here - as will be lots of other possible interested parties over the next weeks - but these things will take time.

The thing is Max posters are going to post to reflect what they believe and how they have acted/are acting - sold/holding/bought/watching /shorting - it’s just human nature. Plus if any prospective investor is going to be influenced by anything they read on here then the world really has gone mad!
