Well said, Funky. Now to put your philosophy into action. When the share pruce goes up, I'll try to keep my greed under control. I did it once with one AIM share and went home with a bundle. But greed got the better of me in two other cases and what could have been two very, very nice profits turned into total losses. Hindsight's wonderful, isn't it.

The best share advice, though, comes from the American, Will Rodgers. He said, "making money in the stock market is easy : Buy a good stock and wait for it to go up. If it don't go up, don't buy it ".

And the worst part about Steven's mangling of the language is that he usually has something interesting to say. A pity you need a Steven-English dictionary to understand what it is.

The key word hre is interim. I can't believe that Jenkins doesn't already know who his replacement will be. And that replacement will probably be someone with good experience in mining and in doing business locally. Let's just wait and see. That's something we're really good at.

My guess would be that Jennings and Co just lost patience with Dennis and the lack of progress and gave him the boot. What's now crucial is who the new ceo will be. All in all, a bit of a shick, but probably not entirely bad news. More wait and see for us.

My old finance professor told us that the cash flow statement is the most reliable part of a company's accounts because that's the one thing you can't fake.

Not exactly what we were hoping for.

The auditors are probably working from home. Going for a run, picking up a few things at the supermarket and doing other really important things came before actually doing some work.

Got me beat, noelpbz. The lowest I remember is one pub in the neighbourhood where you could get a pint for 1/6 if you promised to buy two more before leaving. Got a bit rowdy just before closing time.

I often reminisce about the past, Surrey Lad. Especially in the pub, when I remember when 2 bob would buy you a pint. Brings tears to my eyes.

Despite all his foaming at the mouth, Bubbles does have a valid point here. I'm happy they have an agreement and that the company will survive, but what I really want to know is what it means for us. I'll keep the bubbly on ice until we get details.

"Again courtesy of AI, who I assume is a whole lot smarter than you! All you have is blind hope as a back up!"

AI is only as smart as what it finds in published sources, including the internet. So all the brilliant thinking and carefully considered opinions you find on this board, for example, are also part of what its answers are based on. Something to keep in mind....

PS - my advice is never to use AI for tax advice. The answer sounded very authoritative, but I discovered it was out of date information. Almost cost me a bundle and would have put me on hmrc's sh-t list.

Hi Funky,

Think YOU made an investment mistake? In early 1981 a fellow I worked with told me if I bought shares in a small computer company that had just listed on the nasdaq, I'd do very well. I thought 'Apple' was a stupid name for a computer company, so I didn't take his advice. Bet I passed up a lot more profit than you did!

Sounds very plausible and might just be the reason for the delay. But then why have we been told so often, "the license is imminent"? The company surely knew about the probation period?

This default argument is becoming boring. Can't we just agree "Angus did not pay its debt on time and the lender is now working on what the best way to recover its money would be"? Everybody happy?

Yes, mr C, what about Aftan? We own the thing so how about a word or two about it now and then? Do we have anyone there? Is there any activity? What condition is it in? Are we owed any royalties? And most important of all, what are the plans for it? Just a little hint that management even knows it exists would be a good place to start.

More jam tomorrow.

I know things have changed a bit since then, Mirasol, but at my old school you would have failed English grammar.

Many thanks AGBR!

I never understood the logic of that waxed paper. Using it was like trying to dry yourself after a bath with a waterproof towel.
