Rob - I do not think negative (or positive) postings on here make that great a difference on a personal level. What drives me to invest or sell up is a combination of SP and findings from due diligence as I look into a company, the BOD background and the status of the company/product in the market (emerging, developing, research, full production). Most decisions I have made have been based largely on the SP compared to my buy-in cost to determine whether I buy in or sell. PR as such I usually treat as "froth" on the beer - PR can help sell an idea but the price is key for me - I set my own "target" and try to stick to it.

Flava - feelings not hurt - far from it. I might end up investing here - just need to see how things pan out for a day or two. I would not have much free cash to put in here though as I lost my shirt on a couple of duff share holdings lost nearly £ 20k in total. Was going to retire this year but looks like that is on hold now and I will have to be careful with any investing.............
FWIW - I do genuinely feel sorry if there are people in here who have been invested at the upper end of the SP (Feb 2017) I know what its like to book a loss - not that great. At least I can own my mistakes and admit I did the wrong thing and learn from it. Good luck guys......................

Flava - Over one million shares - Not really impressed. I feel no necessity to brag about what shares I hold - it's just a "mature" way of looking at things. Personally I treat everyone the same whether they are a millionaire or a tramp - people are people except some dress better. Well then - if I buy a few Matad shares you can lord it over me - you have my permission.

Flava - I have not bought any - looked at the way the SP has been heading south and decided to keep out. Did you not read my earlier post.? After a 10% drop today I will keep an eye on the SP if it heads below 3p I might buy some but even then not 100% convinced. The "cheerleaders" keep singing the praises of the stock but it looks like the wider market smells a rat....................

Quite right the SP - down 10% today so far. How you guys can laugh when the SP is heading south is amazing - a real display of "mind over matter" - You do not mind and the money does not matter.................Great stuff

I thought this was a discussion board.? You mean this BB is only for card-carrying holders of MATD shares.? How exactly do you vet people who post on here to make sure they are not genuine cranks. For all you know there could be people on here who hold no shares but are encouraging other more gullible people to buy/hold for a laugh................

I see that you and Bynari must have been separated at birth - the "Chuckle Brothers"..........nice you can laugh when the SP on MATD is going through the floor - real class. As far as intelligence goes I think i could be slightly more creative than "Get Stuffed" - playground banter for 6 year olds.

Bynari - I see you are the intellectual pygmy of this BB.

I am not one looking for a lower entry price - I considered buying in and after doing some of my own research I have decided not to purchase (at any price) as it looks like the SP could be in a death spiral. I lost £ 11,500 on a single share through holding on for over two years of gradual decline - I have no desire to repeat the experience - my pockets are not deep enough.

£ 1.40 - I guess that would be for 100 shares in 2 weeks time then.?

I was going to buy in here a while back - raised my concerns here on an open forum and got slated by the usual suspects - I did not buy in and now thank my lucky stars. Having done my own due diligence I will not be committing my money to MATD. I am a LTH an shares not a swing trader or 10% merchant. Looking at the dire SP movement over the past 30 months does not make for happy reading. As I said I feel sorry for the LTH's here if they bought in anywhere over 10P. If you are holding long term (as I do on other shares) it can be seen as being either very brave or very foolish - I know to my own cost.

Obviously the market is reacting to the present difficulties with permits from Local Gov and past performance.......19% drop since yesterday. I feel sorry for LTH’s who bought in since the peak in Feb 2017.......,Not good. Mike Buck’s reputation must be in tatters by now......sad indeed.

Yep - Pile them high and sell them cheap. As soon as they reach 2p everyone will want them.....................................NOT.

Waiting until it sinks below 3p before I buy in. If it is what I think is coming might not even bother.

That's right Mike31 - you are doing what you do best talking cr@p.

I cannot help but spot that you are up to your usual old cr@p and I feel that I have the "right to reply" just as much as I have a right to filter you. It is not about who is right or wrong Mike31 it is about you pushing your own twisted agenda and I will ask you straight out if you are not bitter and twisted from your holdings with FFR and MATD just why exactly are you constantly coming back here muck raking and trying to cause trouble.? You do hold even hold any shares here. The filter is off until you reply..................

Mike you need to seriously give this a rest mate. MATD 's SP has withered from 37p in early 2017 to just 6.8p so your hopes and dreams of owning a flat in Thailand are looking like just that - dreams. You have not been posting on the MATD chat page for days now - I wonder why.? Personally I think you are an extremely bitter and twisted individual who is looking around for something to kick rather than facing the reality of YOUR OWN situation. You are obviously NOT invested in here - please go back to MATD and prepare to be served up another surprise courtesy of the descendants of Mr G Khan....................

Nope just Block Energy.

I think you need to be careful with that line of posting. I have invested a lot of money in here and I am the first to admit I know very little about the finer points of oil drilling and associated activity. I do however try and follow an old saying of my late departed grandmother
"Be clever if you can, Be witty if you must - but be pleasant even if it is difficult."
As far as I am aware there is no "Posting Police" on here and I for one will continue to improve on my limited knowledge and try and treat everyone with respect or at least humour.

Currently sat on my hands unable to add to my current holding due to a lack of funds. We are trading at what I think is a "fair" SP given that an operation/production update is outstanding. Once the necessary information lands by way of RNS we will not be trading around the support level of 7.5p to 8.5p........................once the penny drops. GLA and as usual DYOR.
