Glad I made you laugh for once Jessell!

Must admit I have felt a bit ‘down’ today - hearing about British Steel and Jamie Oliver yesterday, all the high street stuff going on - this boards not that great at the moment - scary times! Guess we have to just get through it.

Chesh - you know you have to keep posting here as well don’t you?!

Jessell - for the last time - will you stop trying to make something out of nothing. I’ve nothing against LL or Sipp - I just like Myo’s posts - there’s nothing more to it than that.

It doesn’t seem like we’re all allowed to be ourselves on here - I guess that’s just share chat. I like all the different personalities, makes the world go around, but it gets to the point where you’re scared to post or ask a question because of the reply you might get from certain posters. Myo, I don’t understand the comments you’ve had thrown at you on this board, I think they’re unfair. So please don’t be put of posting like I think many of the long term holders already have been.

I agree Casual! Just like so many other investors here who know exactly what they are doing!

I read somewhere today someone posting something like the sheep should have listened to SiPPn00b. Chances are PAAA has sold but if he has he would never have come back and taken pleasure in investors loosing their paper profit. And actually not would SL and most normal people. Nor has SIPPn00b or Casa - they and others backed up their thoughts - they are just in a different league to some of the idiots appearing on here today and yesterday with nothing to back up their posts except insults and stupid gloating and SP predictions - big deal - is that all they’ve got to tell us. I bet ‘the sheep’ know exactly what they are doing as well whoever the sheep are meant to be.

Isn’t that because we’ve got to wait for the bonds to be sold in Oct

Yes exactly what I was trying to ask - thank you LITC. Because surely that’s got to be quite important. LL - you’ve got it wrong with Myo - just like lots got it wrong with you and SL

LL - I do get about 31st Oct - but I was thinking it was quite important as to whose come on board for the first bit and how we will find out

Whatever is going on at the moment on this board - there’s so much more going on away from this board - thank you for posting Myo

Thank you Myo

I did ask realist but as yet he hasn’t answered - to be honest am bit disappointed as he seems to be an expert on predicting potential SP. So wondered if anyone else could help - how and when will we be aware of who has been involved in taking up 90% part of OO - will that be something that is announced tomorrow?

So realiist111 how can you make your share predictions without knowing about the details of Stage 2? Surely a lot depends on what type of organisation has invested?

Hi SIPPn00b - the reason I didn’t sell - and to be honest I was given general advice away from this board, not specifically about Sirius, but generally to take my initial investment out when I was in profit. I couldn’t! - basically this has always been about a LT plan to help my children and I was more scared of selling and the SP going up than holding and it going down. I’m really happy with the amount of shares I have been able to accumulate, more than I ever imagined and divided by 3 that, one day, might make a big difference to them. Obviously now, of course I should have sold and I could have had the same amount of shares with some cash. I was even a bit confused about buying and selling within an ISA (which is a bit embarrassing but I do know now)! Basically even if Sirius one day get to £1 I will be very happy and who knows what might happen in 5.or 10 years. If I lose my money (which I truly don’t think I will) then I will have to put up with a husband who will never let me forget it, I will probably be relieved he restricted what I did invest, be very sorry that I won’t be able to help my children as much and just generally sad that a project I completely believed in didn’t work out in the way I thought it would. But when I made the initial investment I never thought it would be plain sailing, I knew mining projects could cost more, over run etc so in a way I was a bit prepared as well - to me it’s not real money at the moment bec I never planned to have the money for me if that makes sense! Ps thanks 15LIVES

Sorry Sippn00b - but I really can’t agree with you. I recon I have got to be one of the most inexperienced posters on here. I’ve invested in Sirius, never having bought a share before, initially for all the wrong reasons - the story, the name Woodsmith (family connection with Wood and Smith) Only when I had bought in did I discover this board as I never knew share chat even existed and can honestly say no one has ever influenced me. This board is for Sirius discussion and I think it’s only natural that you end up over enthusiastic or express your concerns bec obviously we’ve all got money to make or lose at stake. I know how you feel about Sirius, I’m very sure you know a lot more about investing than I do. I don’t like my paper loss, I’m not a ‘born again Sirius fanatic’ but I do believe in my LT investment and I could just as easily have been influenced by you and Casapinos and loads of others posting their concerns and sold - so it could have worked either way

Hi members, I’m struggling to see how you can compare Debenhams to Sirius. Our local Debenhams unfortunately has not got enough staff, continual sales going on, empty - just not a good vibe at all and our one is one of the ones not closing. Okay you can have a go about the Sirius SP and dilution - but what you can’t take away from the Company is it’s completely different from Debenhams bec where it’s all actually happening on the ground from what everyone feeds back it’s completely buzzing - perhaps even ahead of schedule (don’t know that for an actual 100% fact - but that’s what I gather from workers reporting back and locals) - It’s looking and sounding positive and exciting - as much as I like our local Debenhams - when I was in there today that’s not how it looked to me. Okay I might have a paper loss, I might not like the dilution but there is no way I’m selling at 15p and I’m very happy with that decision

LL - I’m not local and I’m guessing your not either. Where I live ‘down South’ we’ve probably got in pretty good compared to other parts of the country.. Although I know people who really struggle without much hope and for most people especially when they get a bit older it’s natural and positive to want the best for your local community. I do seriously get how investors are feeling. I know I’m one of those investors who love the story, £1 party and I’m totally guilty of all that but I’ve never been influenced by anyone. Been quite naive when it comes to going against advice I’ve been given re banking my profit - I just didn’t want to risk the number of shares I’d worked so hard to get - of course if I’d listened I could have got more! But actually, even though I’ve got a big paper loss and a husband who I’m avoiding the subject with bec he’s certainly not currently impressed - I still want to be part of this - not the SP obvs - but I’m very confident i’ll see a nice return - maybe not as much or as quick but I was always doing this for LT. I think it is very unlikely I’ll lose my money but at the end of the day in a venture like this it has to be something you have to aware of.

Just a few days ago the SP went up in a couple of days from 16p to 20p - it’s only got to do that twice and we are back to 24p and that sounds a lot better! Just shows how things can quickly turn around. Not the best week but hopefully none of us have had to sell at a loss because we need the money. That really would be a shame. Hope everyone has a good weekend

Must admit I had thought that as well. I think they were obviously dragging their heels rather than flatly refuse backing and there is no way it was finically viable in the long term to slow the build so option 2 was taken. I don’t think it will come to that though in Sept but maybe a year or two down the line if it is ever needed which is might not be
