there were so many people (in the same boat as them) investing to make a better future for themselves and family that would take obvious joy in watching others struggle. My eyes have been opened to just how vile people can be. your mothers would be so proud

great, a tweet lol

sanctions only stop Russia using the swift system. The dollar as world reserve currency dropped to approx 60% adoption. Russia has been loading up on gold for years. Dont think sanctions will cut as badly as expected.

Gaza, the board might be feeling it more than us as you say, but they also know where in the plan they are, what needs doing and what alternatives they have. Much better position to be in as far as I'm concerned. My sympathies are entirely with the PI's on this one. Bottom of the foodchain without any clarity. No doubt the Institutional Investors are having their fears allayed as we speak.

thanks RoyalRumble for your opinion. Highly valued.

monkey, hopefully you are correct. No harm in the BoD updating or letting us know its BAU.

have to agree dealer. I've been generally very supportive of the BoD, but also raised concerns over the length of time this is taking and that hasnt been met very kindly by some investors who spew the same old sell up then rubbish. However, I think its time the BoD stopped hiding behind NDA and fronted up some proper updates on where they stand in the process.

Woo, blue

Excellent and interesting post Catbert. I think I might just print it off.

they should bank with the Bank of Dave. The only one I trust.

yes Ethio, I was responding to Roger? who through you as i have him binned.

he was called left wing earlier lol

i think he had dementia too, but even with that and the fact hes dead I still believe he could out think Biden.

he was shot, but survived the hit.

'substatially al' Ethio is 75? 80?% of assets or more.

newbie, Putinrock's agenda couldnt be considered as left leaning by any stretch.

was going to green box you as another 1 post wonder Putinrocks, but cant agree more on Trudeau/WEF/MSM etc

folio, not able to fully digest your post as at work, but i think youve got a few good points there. However, the conspiracy theorist in me thinks theres a bit more to it.
Russia and China have been building up their gold reserves for year. China launched to the world their digital currency at the Olympics (though there were Chinese already using/testing it). The reserve currency status has become a bit of a weight on the back of the US, and theyve also printed something like 30-40% 0f all $ in existance over the past 2 years. Are the US going to take this as an opportunity to replace the $ with their own digital currency and renege on their debts in a 'reset' of their financial system?

I think Sleepy, had the BoD done a deal a year ago we would be none the wiser as to whether they were sold on the cheap or not. Whenever we sell there's always the prospect more assets will be found at a later date, more licences or extensions to existing ones become available.
I do agree though that the main frustration is having to speculate on who is buying, what they're buying how much its worth etc etc.

Personally Gecko, I do think they should have set a date for this to be concluded by, and I also think they're trying to squeeze every penny they can out of the deal...... which I get, but there's playing hardball and there's potentially being inflexible to the extent they might lose the deal through circumstances beyond their control.
