Hell

Heres an idea, what about not paying Ian Conn and his successor massive salary and bonuses for failure. What about making their pay performance based, profit, churn and SP related. Cut the management deadwood, make cuts and fire/ rehire from the top down, and maybe then the engineers might consider that it isn't always them that are getting the chappy end of the stick and 'we're all in this together.
Thankfully, my resignation is in, I'm out of there in the next couple of months retired at 52 having had a monster couple of years trading, but let me tell you working for BG as an engineer is frustrating as he'll.

What an ignorant comment contrarian123. Whether you are employed or not I suppose you'd happily trade your current conditions for inferior work life balance and financial security. Idiot.

Had to release funds for tax bill, so sold 750k of my 2,000,000 holding and a further 750k to top up in Portage biotech. Holding only 500k now. Hope this doesn't come back to haunt me. Will probably reload if sp stays at these levels and future profits allow for the odd bottom drawer share.

I suppose the reason to ask for Bridges is that once you've invested based on what you believe the potential is, there's nowhere to go and research further. Its like a vacuum and naturally peoples patience is wearing paper thin. Bridges has a very persuasive and even reassuring way of refocusing what the end game here would look like, but despite his positivity no-one can put a percentage on the outcome here based on other investors views. Ultimately we need the BoD to start respecting shareholders, but that isn't going to happen. Theres been enough false dawns here, hoped the recent movement might have been the beginning of something, but looks like it was based on nothing.
Personally I'm hoping for a spike so I can derisk my capital then let it either do or die.

Filtered, offers nothing.

Not sure you can call them crooks. Poorest of the poor communicators definitely. As far as I'm aware they only take expenses to run the company, so hardly a lifestyle company and don't dilute whilly nilly like many aim companies. That suggests they're in it for genuine reasons, and the prize is large. The question is can you hold through the silence indefinitely?
For me, the hold becomes a helluva lot easier when I cash in on EUA.

Nice to see some life in this old dog. P&D or is something going on it the background? Enough false dawns not to count my chickens just yet, but at the same time this might finally be about to blow. Not a major holder like some here, just 2m shares, but looking to de-risk a number of positions, and this is one of them.

Totally agree Pauly. Probably incorrect, but my perception is directors of Clon put absolutely no effort in trying to move this project on most of the time, and occasionally go back to it and put a few hours in here and there, only to mothball it again. I've said it numerous times before, but their communication is beyond pathetic and its a very hard hold when the directors have done very little to earn your trust and faith they can deliver.
Thankfully, EUA is my biggest holding, and whilst they keep a tight ship, there's enough info out there to retain confidence in the board and progress going on, and once the deal hopefully comes to its conclusion I can tuck this away in the knowledge that it doesn't matter if it fails to deliver, and if it does its a pleasant surprise some time in the hopefully not too distant future.

This must be the most boring hold of all time.

Wouldn't say its a lifestyle company. If I recall the BoD don't pay themselves a wage/ take minimal expenses. They are crap with communication though.

Very frustrating hold I'd agree wholeheartedly. Thankfully the BoD are very hot on keeping us in the loop

93 odd messages and all I've got are green boxes and responses to posts i can't read. Dont understand why anyone engages with obvious trolls. Its OK to have reasoned negative views, and we can all be taken in by a skilled subtle deramper, but only an idiot can't see through an obvious troll

Small herd. Hardly a stampede yet. However I do think they will arrive in time. For clarity I have approx 20k shares, so am invested, just don't see the point ramping.

Lol, huffed and puffed for years to push it up that hill only to take a short breather at the top not noticing they rested it in a pool of superstrength wet cement

Think Sam's OK for now. 1m more buys than sells so far today, which is exactly half my holding and I'm hardly one of the biggest investors, but at least there's action,. Someone needs to give that big rock a push down the hill before we see any real meaningful momentum though.

Lovely to see a rise as my PF is almost entirely in red, but worth noting the 25% spread.

I get what you're saying Bridges, and I'm sure you've been in this a lot longer than me ( just over 2 years), but something about being invested here makes that 29 months feel like 29 years. I'm hoping the jam finally arrives here because I'm seriously regretting not slicing when this was almost 2p and free carrying a number risk and stress free. I won't be making that mistake on this again.

Anyone expecting this to delay things further?

Sam, if you do manage to recoup some of your capital and are in a position to invest in Clon and BMN, and if you make a decent return, then take out your original investment and free carry the rest. Easy to say, harder to do, but if you manage it you'll be able to start building a risk free portfolio and have a fund to trade with.
