Good evening all,
The wait goes on.....
Today's hopefuls were:-
----------
MarkN9 - 06/06/22
AresenalLes - 06/06/22 - 44th-anniversary last Friday:-)
----------
Bad luck chaps, it's only a game :-)
Have a lovely evening everyone, this will take as long as it takes in the present political climate .....
Try and take your mind off the day to day share price shenanigans!
Worrying about it won't speed it up, however much we want it to ....
Cheers.
Good evening to you Tilly, I hope you are keeping well?
When a stock we are both invested in finds itself with strong headwinds to navigate, due to the actions of one dictator starting a near WW3 we can only sit back and await the outcome, which we assume will now take a little bit longer to conclude?
In the meantime, we still need to try and beat inflation, so investing is the only easy option, and hopefully! VAST may be the answer?
Evening Fantasy,
I think you have made your personal feelings on VAST's past history well known and provided lots of negative points for any future investors to mull over, you have made your points well, and we do feel for you.....
But can I just say that EUA started life in 1995 as one of the first companies on AIM, with 2,000,000 shares at £1 pop I think it was?
It went up to about £2.85 by December 1996 and then it all went downhill, with the start of cash raises and dilution, those original shareholders were livid for years and always found fault with positive newbies.....
Currently, that figure has been diluted to .... 2,854,000,000 .... shares in issue, and the share price has been as low as £0.0022 back in 2018.....
It went on to reach £0.40 back in December 2020, and £0.35 back as recently as only last September, only the protracted sale and goings-on with Russia have put a spanner in the works for the time being!
Just pointing out that dilution is not just specific to VAST and happens to most companies, especially on AIM ...
Things do change over time, you have made your point, but, hopefully, things will get better and if you are invested you will make some of your money back?
Good luck to you,
Cheers.
Thanks to Bridgedogg1 for his great summary,
I'm fairly new to this stock, and past performance is not always something you can go on, if the BOD really has changed its ways on reducing further dilution then that is great, I am invested in another stock that is primarily an exploration company and has literally in the past just burned through cash, and dilution and cash raises were just, unfortunately, the nature of the business, long term holders were very unhappy at the time and would only moan and find fault with enthusiastic new posters, it just depends on your entry point into the cycle of a company hopefully turning itself around!
Time will tell if I timed my entry point into Vast well, or not? but I have taken on board the negative vibes and will see what transpires over time, today's webinar sounded good to me!
Anyway, I just wanted to wish all shareholders invested here the very best of luck,
And to point out that the sell reported today at 14:52:21-- 0.9424 -- 1,287,723 -- as a Sell* for 12.14k was in fact my top-up,
All the best,
Cheers.
Good morning all,
I hope you had a lovely weekend with family and friends and enjoyed the Platinum Jubilee celebrations,
Today's hopefuls are:-
----------
MarkN9 - 06/06/22
AresenalLes - 06/06/22 - 44th-anniversary last Friday:-)
----------
Les, I hope you and Angie got to do something nice to celebrate the occasion!
Good luck everyone, news of some sort is getting nearer by the day,
Cheers.
Good evening all,
A disappointing day for the share price,
Today's hopefuls were:-
----------
CAW1 - 01/06/22
99Treble - 01/06/22 - You met the Mrs 20 years ago!
----------
Bad luck, no RNS today!
The sun came through at last, and let's hope it shines throughout this Jubilee bank holiday for our longest-ruling monarch in the U.K. Queen Elizabeth.
The street parties will be in full swing with plenty of grog and hamburgers :-)
Have a great time everyone, and catch you all on Monday the 6th, if not before.
Regards to all,
Cheers.
Good morning all,
It is a great shame we have to endure the numbnuts and trolls that feel they have a right to infest the EUA chat board, just because they can!
It has been going on for years, but with the recent war decimating the share price, they are now in full force, to gloat, and rub salt in our open wounds,
We did not see this war coming, even the poor Ukrainians did not think it would happen! ..... Putin said he would not invade Ukraine .... Then he did!
We are where we are now, and nothing we can do? but wait it out to see how things unfold, other companies operating in Russia have been hit much harder than EUA which has no sanctions against it and uses no Russian banks that have been sanctioned.
News is due any day now as the AGM is fast approaching, it has been a traumatic ride to be invested in this stock!
The company has taken on a new person to help them navigate a way through this new headwind and the company has stated it will be selling, if it all goes to plan, to a BRICS country.
Today's hopefuls are:-
----------
CAW1 - 01/06/22
99Treble - 01/06/22 - You met the Mrs 20 years ago!
----------
Good luck everyone,
Hopefuly a better day for the share price
Good morning all,
Today's only hopeful is :-
----------
Tharauk - 31/05/22
----------
Good luck everyone,
News of some sort is now due imminently as the AGM fast approaches!
Yesterday's free NHS (AAA) ultrasound checkup went well and I got an all-clear result for that one.
Good luck to all invested in this good stock.
Cheers.
Morning Tiddlor, Tony and Les,
Thanks for the tip Tony, I won't eat too much for breakfast if they are going to push hard on the stomach, don't want to bring it all up :-)
AAA to me sounded more like 'Advanced Alcoholics Anonymous' ...... :-)
Cheers everyone.
Good morning all,
No one down for today's game,
I hope you all had a nice weekend and feel refreshed,
It's funny how the non-invested spend so much of their time here on a Sunday, just to gloat, that they sold out by pure luck, at the right time, prior to a war that was not foreseen, and that Putin said would not happen!
What a low-life!
He tries to attack the LTH by saying in one breath that we all sold out at a higher price, or at least top sliced!
And in another,
Tries to say we just followed the share price down from 40p to 8p!
He's coved all bases there then :-)
He missed out on the opinion that we could have sold out at 40p and shorted it down to 8p .... What a deluded poster...
We are where we are, no one foresaw a full war breaking out and the sanctions that followed,
You come across all sorts of posters and Montyboz takes the biscuit turning from super ramper to de-ramper, to now just a troll....
Off to the hospital, this morning for this Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) screening that they offer to the over 65's,
I had never heard of this before, apparently, it is just a 10-minute ultrasound test to see if the main abdominal aorta has swollen and weakened over time. if you have not got it by the age of 65, you are unlikely to ever be affected,
Nice to get a free NHS check-up, a pity they do not do this as a matter of course for male Prostate cancer yet!
Good luck to everyone invested in EUA, we never foresaw the current war situation, and that is indeed now a headwind for the company, although no sanctions affect the company, and no banks the company uses are sanctioned, it may slow down things a bit,
Just have to wait it out,
GLA Cheers.
Good morning all,
No hopefuls down for today!
This Putin personal war is NOT something we envisaged when we invested in EUA nearly three years ago!
Russia at the time was a reasonably ok place to invest in,
Montyboz is now trying to play the righteous card,
Hang on though, didn't 'Montyboz' say he was previously the poster 'Rowka'
You remember him, the poster that ramped EUA to high heaven, and with his £3.50 per share buy out price?
How times change, when previously positive posters change their opinion,
He was perfectly happy to invest in the past!
And could be the reason for some that are now underwater,
We are where we are at the moment due to Putin who overnight changed the status quo for the whole world,
Not something we foresaw at the time of investing in EUA,
These posters that say we are morally wrong for investing in EUA, seem to miss the point that when we invested it was ok!
What a load of hypocrites, we invested to make some money for our families,
This current situation is NOT of our making,
If you feel so righteous about investors trying to make some money in EUA because they operate in Russia, I hope you are also posting the same on other UK companies that operate in Russia!
Oh! you're not, must be a reason then :-)
Off out for the Thursday Breakfast meeting and going to try out a new venue the Westcliff Hotel,
No one knows how long this war will go on, and the world has changed massively since it started,
I can only wish good luck to everyone as we wait and watch this war play out,
It must end sometime, or, Putin gets outed, which will come first is anyone's guess?
GLA,
Cheers.
Good morning all,
No one is down for the game today, but we do have a hopeful for tomorrow,
Why would someone try to use an inflated EUA share price to make their point .... 43p?
Sorry, no one would have got 43p for their shares if they managed to sell at the highest point in recent time!
Perhaps, the fact that EUA rose from 0.49p in 2019 to nearly 42p in 2020, a rise of 8471% doesn't fit their narrative,
A shame really, as it was after all at about 35p as recently as last September, still over a 7000% increase!
If Putin had not lied and invaded Ukraine all would probably still be on track,
The fact now a worldwide problem has evolved has made things difficult to negotiate and made more problems for companies continuing to operate in Russia,
EUA has recently stated they are not under any current sanctions, they do not use any Russian banks under current sanctions, and the directors have not sold any personal shares, being the largest shareholders,
Why are these posters, some new, who were once positive on EUA, now trying to find fault and dig up any dirt they can to try and depress the already low EUA share price, that is due to Putin's personal war!
Are they here for our health, or do they have another narrative :-)
Perhaps, they don't like companies in general that operate in Russia, but you don't find them on those boards talking those stocks down?
I will leave you to make your own mind up,
The only option open for any current shareholder is,
Buy,
Hold,
Or Sell,
No one can hold your hand because this current situation is changing all the time and is totally out of our control, we are in uncharted territory!
In hindsight, had we known Putin would start a near WW3 we would ALL have derisked at 40p, but we didn't, so now irrelevant, we are where we are with this, and now these once positive posters crawl out of the woodwork to try and rub salt in our open wounds,
At the end of the day, we thought Russia was an ok place to invest in, it had opened itself to western investment, but, Putin has single-handedly changed that perception overnight!
We are not investing in morals, but to make some money for our families, had we known at the time we would have invested differently, but, we were already invested when he changed overnight the status quo....
Good luck to everyone at this difficult time,
Investing just developed another facet to complicate things even more!
Hopefully, the company will release some up to date information, shortly :-)
Cheers.
Good afternoon all,
Please excuse me, but it is a Sunday,
Here are some photos of Garry's funeral held at St Mary's church, the weather was lovely, and I think a first for an old Southend Corporation double-decker bus to be used as a hearse!

If you are not interested, please just ignore,
So many people paid their respects to Garry, and then afterwards on to Southed Rugby Club, which Gary used to play for.
Catch you all tomorrow,
Cheers everyone.
