Ramp, despite what you hear in the main stream media, Russia are slowly but surely demilitarising Ukraine whilst keeping their own casualties to a minimum. If a retreat is strategically advantageous, by potentially luring in large numbers of Ukrainian troops into vulnerable positions, or restricting Ukrainians the opportunity of morale boosting victories, thats what they'll do. Its not a show of weakness or failure as its being reported. Suggestions Ukraine has lost only 10-13k soldiers to Russia's 100k is just propoganda to keep the foreign aid rolling in. My understanding is Russia isn't overly concerned by how this is currently playing out.
Pat2014, the reason yourself and Mizman's views on who is winning the war differ so much is because you're getting your information from different media sources. For those of us that share Mizman's take on how the land lies, we access the main stream media AND seek alternatives to it, and then base our opinions on what rings truest. Is it the main stream media that have minimal boots on the ground and a vested interest in the outcome, or is it the independents who report what they see living alongside the most affected. I recommend you watch a few hours of redacted.com on you tube to start off with, and see if you still believe the MSM offer a balance.
......though, thinking about it, your timescales might still come into play. Russia 'should ' have completed what they set out to do before spring unless NATO come up with a false flag dirty bomb blaming Russia and use it as an excuse to enter the free.
Chicken Lover, 'when the winter bites.....' is when the Russian forces will be mobilised en-masse. Theyre holding back so as not to get stuck in the mud currently. Winter comes, Russia take off the brakes and this escalates.

You are so right about all the experts on here doing their own research and sharing their views. Whilst not spot on, the govts own epidemiologists have a more than impressive history.
2001: birdflu prediction 150, 000 deaths, actual deaths less than 200.
2002: BSE prediction 50,000 deaths, actual deaths 177.
2005: Bird flu prediction 150,000,000 deaths, actual deaths 282.
2009: Swine flu prediction 65,000 deaths, actual deaths 457.
2020: Covid 2019 prediction 500,000 deaths, actual deaths.....
Epic, saw an 8 year old Guardian front page yesterday with a John Pilger headline basically calling out the USA over the Ukraine coup, supporting the Nazi's there and dragging us towards war with Russia......... but of course this never really happened did it, the Guardian were communist sympathisers in 2014 before seeing the light and being pro Ukraine today, and John Pilger wasn't really an award winning journalist, he was a commie infiltrator being awarded by fellow sleeping commies in positions of journalistic power. Nothing to see here....
about 40k shares yesterday at just under 5p to cover some outgoings. Very disappointed the BOD have allowed the price to reach these levels. Touch wood some irons in the fire come through by December and thats my last forced sale, but at this point timescales on the sale could be 3months to 3 years or longer.
The figure for a lowball offer I'd accept isnt an easy question to answer CTC. If the BoD came to us with 40p now before any updates and the news we had all been waiting for I'd grudgingly vote to accept. If they bombard us with the news we've been waiting for then it enables us to put a proper value on what we have and if subsequently the share price rose to 40p whilst the deal was still being negotiated FOMO would kick in and I might consider selling a tranche, but not my entire holding, (and one would assume from the current sp to 40p there'd also be multiple opportunities to trade along the way). As it is they dallied during black swan event 1, they've adopted radio silence during black swan event 2, and nobody will ever convince me 3,4,5... aren't already about to drop with food and fuel shortages, inflation, climate change and all the other bull governments are trying to force down peoples throats. So as the BoD and its overpaid advisors dilly dally expecting the world to eventually return to the normality of 2021, I nervously await an exit strategy, or an opportunity to my existing position.
I'm with you Tygra, expectations reduced, willing to accept a low ball offer having recognised the abilities of the board and its advisors have been massively ramped. Forget trying to get fair value and just get out with something reasonable before the bunch of buffoons totally fcuk the whole thing up and we end up with nothing.
