Our latest Investing Matters Podcast episode with QuotedData's Edward Marten has just been released. Listen here.
T4G - You can now add four more posters attacked by SCB (again with another misleading statement in my case as I never said a rights issue doesn't dilute a company's share price (you can't 'dilute' a price). It always dilutes the share (by definition) but its impact on the share PRICE depends on the discount and the reaction to the right issue. The price doesn't always go down - but usually does (because the impact of the discount usually offsets any positive sentiment) and often the sentiment is negative anyway.
In terms of your own posting I've included your time doing so as T4G.
T4G - I post rarely now as there is nothing going on much with BOO at the moment and nor likely will there be until the next set of results (and even then they are only expected to be in line with their already reduced guidance so will have to look hard for anything really meaningful there).
Otherwise this board just seems to be populated with a few die-hards taking swipes at eachother and playing he said, she said. All the other posters seemed to have moved on or simply lost interest.
Besides, from experience any potentially useful discussion on BOO just tends to be pounced upon by you or SCB to try and spin the discussion in favour of BOO using selected, irrelevant or misleading 'facts' and often descends into a circular, point-scoring exercise where you both keep moving the goalposts to try in vain to score one. That's of course when the discussion doesn't just revolve around watches, holidays and other tacky suggestions of supposed wealth and success.
So happy to leave you to it most of the time until something actually happens here of real interest. In the meantime it's a pretty dead board as the tumbleweed continues to roll on by...
Bfd maybe you could count how many posters SCB has attacked on this board. It's strange you seem to find his behaviour acceptable.
Who has the time to delve into posts from years ago just to carry out yet another pointless attack. That is what is truly weird
"The person to be thanked for this site being covered 24/7 by Daynighttrol is Uncle Doug."
That may be true but the only reason you appear on this board is to troll DTN as every post you put on here seems to be about him and nothing about BOO or anything else. Admittedly you are nowhere near as prolific but it still seems like a stalkerish, weird kind of obsession - not to mention a bit hypocritical maybe?
"You would think this cycle would be different though, given ATHs been blasted through pre-halving, which hasn't happened before."
Yes, but ETFs haven't happened before pre-halving. In any event there is a lot of talk about trends at halving but there have actually only been three previously so not really enough to read too much into any patterns.
"I don't know whether he in practice had much say and was just doing what he was told."
If he was just doing what he was told then I think they definitely need a new CFO - one that is strong enough to have a voice and be a good voice at that.
Surely we’ve know they’ve been testing ‘breakthrough technology’ for ages. What on earth is 160% greater likelihood of mining BTC if it isn’t ‘breakthrough technology’. It tells us nothing new. Whether it does actually work or not is what would be new or even knowing that they are further down the road.
Pain, what will make me happiest on this stock is if a deal is announced next week as I think that will rocket the sp well into double figures and I can sell my shares for a very tidy profit. It would mean that my doubts would have been proved unfounded but I don't think having those doubts is unreasonable nor is expressing them. I think I would be a very strange investor indeed not to have any doubts about my investments, especially on AIM, and even more especially on a company that hasn't yet delivered a product that has been proven outside of their own lab (as far as we know).
Instead you just make up things like I'll disappear if there is good news and take on another 'facade'. But it seems ok for you and others like you to make things up about my, or other posters' agendas, call them names, accuse them of having multi-ids etc. as somehow it's fine if you do it. It's the hypocrisy that I find so 'disappointing' on these boards - to use your own word - but then again I should be used to it by now I suppose.
I really don't think any rampers (including you Pain) can sit very comfortably on their moral high horse. There's been just as much (if not more) hostility, abuse, bullying and misleading statements from that group as far as I can see. So sorry, not buying it. I just hope that there is definitive news next week of some kind that will stop all this silliness.
"Nice try, all about keeping the SP and excitement down for your dry powder on News day, we all see through it!"
Do we? That sounds like a really stupid strategy to me. I can understand people trolling in the misguided belief they can affect the sp and thus get a better entry price before any good news drops. I can also understand those who won't invest until there is more solid news - they'll obviously miss out on the initial lift in sp but that is a trade-off they are clearly happy to make for the lower perceived risk. But trolling to try to keep the price down AND waiting until news is just nuts. The price will rise sharply immediately on good news and bear little relation to where it was previously so they won't be able to take advantage of the price they have supposedly held down - so utterly pointless.
Is this the same Zak that got 4p so wrong recently? Thing with chartists is that they are always wrong until they are right (and then don’t let you forget it).
Charts are questionable at the best of times but with QBT they are particularly useless. It’s all about the news - hopefully next week.
And it would be good Zesty if you posted something anywhere near the truth about me rather than just go on another moronic, ramping rant. I don't spend all my time on here (didn't post at all yesterday and less than 100 posts here in total the last month), I don't troll (saying negative things is not the same as trolling) and as for adding something positive one of my posts was deemed so positive that the arch ramper Jambone has re-posted it over a dozen times!
If you don't like what I say there is a filter button but if you are so confident in your investment then why do you care what I or anybody else says anyway? Just wait for the good news to arrive and when it does be smug and gloat over all of us that have had serious doubts.
I stand by the view that it is stupid to email a company expecting anything at all significant in reply that might be considered market sensitive information as that is a clear breach of rules. It's just basic stuff and shows a shocking ignorance to suppose that they might. If you disagree with that then perhaps say why and debate it rather than just get all sensitive and throw a hissy fit.
That’s just stupid. If I email the company and ask them if the tech really works as well as they claim they are not going to say ‘no, sorry, it doesn’t after all’ or ‘yes, all the tests are complete and confirm our original findings’.
The only way we will find anything really meaningful is from a PRN/RNS not by ringing a helpline. Businesses don’t release market sensitive information to individuals just because they ask - not if they don’t want the FCA or whoever on their back anyway.
Doesn't exactly scream 'world-class' though does it - especially the 'PhD student' bit? Also no names so no way of seeing what their credentials really are. Like all their communications - full of hyperbole and unsubstantiated claims lacking any kind of evidence.
"If the directors at Argo thought they were going bust they wouldn't have sold an asset to pay down debt, they would have kept their salaries going longer."
That doesn't make any sense, not least because selling an asset to pay debt does keep the company, and their salaries, going longer.
