Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Although an expensive entertainment, a lot of the chit-chat on these BBs has added a little to our 'the gaiety of nations' in investments.
Though I never found the Labskin club persuasive, was convinced by the other activities. Sadly, it does look like a scam, which sucked in much more than my 5% allowance for "rainbows" (Added to ASA resources loss, which was plain robbery by 2 HK residents skipping with $4mil petty cash...)
There are always the Cassandras as wall as fans. We are all fallible humans... I wish some could be kinder to each other.
Mer, that's what I thought. On the list of trades on my ii site, there seemed just a variety of buy/sells, with no pattern I could discern. So Spider's idea is more likely.
Hopeful, but way to go before my 6p breakeven!
Reluctantly, must mention, most of the world has suffered huge shocks recently. As well as Covid, then Putin leading a group attacking Western democratic ideals. Brexit/Trump GOP Emperor Xi, only three... Delighted at "They" are all the same, crooks - referring to Imperfect Humans, who struggle with the uneducated, who vote from (a) our worst instincts + (b) promises of a quart out of a pint pot + (c) Simple solutions to very complex problems.
Ilovesushi - I, like many, have been in for years - and need 6p just to get my money back on easily my biggest investment by a factor of 2 to 4 times
Even 8p would be a modest return, on what appears an excellent product.
Sadly, that looks like an impossible hope now. Still... :-/
GowertonO - to be fair, most politicians knew Brexit was a bad idea, and expected it to lose. Just the 10% "Moggers" with help from Putin, IMHO, who persuaded enough of the ethically and intellectually challenged, we could throw the "furriners" out along with the DM's EU tyrants...
Ftsefan - If Liz & Co were still in 0ffice (not power) the 15% needed for govt debt might have had a negative effect on, well, everything. Except unemployment?
I've just said goodbye to a shed load of other gains, placed on an AIM "good story"
Hoping for better here.
Feel sick as all of us about this. An apparently really good story, were we fooled, or did we fool ourselves? 13th Monkey made a fair point, every site has some Cassandras, if they were all as perspicacious as Muggins, we'd all lose less - and maybe no one would invest!
Lots of decent gains/divs from my other holdings went into the approx. £17K loss over several years. Not my only total loss, but my biggest.
All the best, guys. Over and out.
No repossessions etc - but the debt rolls up exponentially - and will have to be repaid, like the huge government debt, eventually.
But by then, AI will have replaced all our jobs, so, like the country, we will just be bankrupt.
But some sitting on £500K properties no-one can buy.
