Partridge,
First of all, congratulations for surviving the Christmas season. I thought you'd end up on somebody's plate, but it seems your pear tree has kept you safe. Secondly, I regularly read your posts over at RGM and NUOG and have to say that you have turned into quite an angry bird as of late. You used to be nice natured once upon a time and everything seems to have changed. Are you still invested here?
Sooty - this share will take more time to develop and flourish but only if they can keep the lights on. Cash is at a premium and so expect there to be either dilution or fund raising of some description in Q2. There may even be a combination of the both, which is of no real surprise because these guys haven't gone down that route for years if at all from what I recall. Give this one another 2-3 years and then happy days.
Guys and gals, I am still invested here so have every right to share my views with you. My brother had several grand invested here and he decided it was the right time to exit for him after listening to and agreeing with my views. Luckily for him, he put his money into EUA, which I was already invested in, in order to recoup his losses and made several grand back in just two weeks, so the gamble paid off. The money is now in the bank and he has taken a break from shares for the foreseeable future. No harm in him coming back and sharing his views with you. It's a free world and so let him have his say.
I know....I know. I am gutted I missed out. I was ready with 7.5k that I had made from EUA to buy here at 0.12p. All I had to do was hit the 'buy' button. If this one comes down a wee bit then I still may be tempted, but can't forget that I missed out when it was 0.12p. I think UFO has great potential despite it being a relatively early stage company. It's assets interest me and the potential forthcoming JV, which I think will probably go ahead. I'll keep an eye on this share, but have nothing negative to say about it from what I have read thus far. It is still very much under the radar and so those that managed to get in when the price was lower, well done. I think you'll multi-bag from these levels, but only should the news flow be regular and in the most part positive. Cash may be at a premium, even for operational purposes, so it wouldn't surprise me if there is some dilution at some point this year so the projects can breathe and develop. GLA.
There's nothing luxury about what I sell, apart from a few very expensive number plates that I own and have advertised. It always amazes me how much people are willing to pay for tat. Mind you, looking at the number of 'buys' today, I can't say I am that surprised. Alas, I am not a wine salesman although I was once offered a job to sell wine by a Russian Prince who was a customer of mine. He used to present me with bespoke bottles of wine with my own labels, which was a nice touch. I hope you manage to get plenty of use out of your posh slippers. It is not I that has sold you them and thus there is no free bottle of plonk as an addendum to that particular sale. I am more interested in whether or not you are still planning a soiree at Chez Ellis with a tour of the wine cellars? I was rather looking forward to attending that party and would have entertained the attendees with my impersonations of the SOU BOD. I would have had everybody crying with laughter.
I very rarely check this bb for updates. I have already written this money off and if anything good comes from my measly one grand "investment" then great. If not, then lessons learnt....again. Add the losses to the other losses I have incurred on AIM. The recent 7.5k profit on EUA wasn't too shabby though, so it's not all bad news.
The only thing Chinese I can get my head around is food and takeaways. If there is an interest in iron ore so they can continue to build more buildings and continue polluting the world then so be it. So long as the king prawn curries are being produced then I am happy.
OK I'm going again now. Ironically, have some Ebay sales to deal with and am busy for the rest of the day.
Stop allowing yourselves to get wound up by what I am saying. Get a grip and stop acting like a load of snowflakes.
Remington,
My brother sold out and luckily for him managed to recoup his losses over at EUA during the monumental rise. It was my suggestion that he sell-up here, as he was literally trapped and his money was diminishing fast. Ironically, I still retain a stake in here, although I only have a grand invested, so no big deal. I am prepared to wait for 2-3 years in the hope that one day I will see my money back / a return on my investment.
From the moment I bought shares here, the price has never recovered and so I foolishly got in during the height. I think ZIOC will unfortunately run out of money by May and will have to raise money. The share price could suffer short term, but as I have already said, people may have to wait for 2-3 years to witness any hefty hikes in share price IMO.
Ducati,
I really don't want to face any sort of work if I'm honest. After having 6 years off, I can barely hold a pen. I have an interview tomorrow, which I am not looking forward to. I am a man of leisure these days and due to there being no liquidity event, it has forced me to look at going back to work again. I don't like to be told what to do either. I am no good at taking orders from anybody, which is a bigger concern because I am prone to hissy fits if I don't get my way. We'll see what happens, but fritter frying is always something that I excel at, so maybe pizza flipping isn't such a bad idea, Ducati.
Price is too toppy at the moment. There are very few trades and very little action. MM's need to create a market again. IMO the market sits at around 0.16p-0.17p. That's where people will start buying again I reckon. The price has been ever so stagnat these past few sessions, which is very telling.
No single buyer wanted more than 3%. Shouldn't that tell you something?
Listen.....fair play to the SOU BOD should they manage to secure a deal with the aforementioned UK private company, but IMO I can't see a deal being done....perhaps through no fault of SOU themselves, but perhaps because the said UK private company may not be able to secure adequate funding or be content with their due diligence, or indeed both!
So what therefore is 'Plan B'? There have been a few ideas bandied around on this bb, but nothing yet from the BOD who will at some point need to come clean with what the next strategic path is, should there be no deal. They also have severance payments to conclude with JJ and JP leaving in due course. Not to mention the circa 30 million Euro debt owing to MF's company.
I think the path forward is a rocky one when you look at the potential outgoings that SOU will have to grin and bear in the foreseeable future. I see there being more dilution, which some may say is at the expense of the PI in order to keep the company going / afloat. There cant be that much money left in the coffers though should there be no deal. I think around 4 million or thereabouts, so in the absence of a deal, then the warning sirens will begin to resound.
February couldn't come any sooner depending on what side of the fence you sit. I don't envy those who are sitting on the fence either.

Ps200306,
You utter plank. How do you differentiate between blocking somebody and filtering them? Surely, it's the same thing, or am I too festooned in grease and spam to notice? You are beginning to bore people with your crazy anecdotes and fantastical claims of how many shares you own. Nobody is interested in what you have to say. I suggest you go filter yourself and give everybody a break from your diatribe. Numpty.
I have already told you that I'm sitting back awaiting the news. No need to continue mocking me. I have commented that should SOU get a deal then it bodes well for the share price IMO. I wish you all well. I'm just offended by Eric's comments about my life being covered by a Channel 5 Documentary. I thought he'd at least give me some credit and suggest having it aired on Channel 4, maybe with Louis Theroux as the Presenter. Even ITV would have been more flattering!
My simple brother, STZ, was right to recount my trip to a well known bed company yesterday. Does anybody remember The Rolly Pollies that used to be on TV and walk into furniture stores and crush beds etc? Yes, well that was me yesterday. I told the Salesperson that I was the "Bed Crusher" and subsequently sampled 4 mattresses, with three of them being crushed under my weight, much to the horror of the poor Salesperson. I decided upon the orthopaedic mattress with a firm rating of 5 as that was the only one that could remotely support my weight. The look on her face when I told her that I was, "heavier than I looked" was priceless. If you could have seen a video of me rolling around on the beds like a beached whale then I'm sure it would have brought a tear to your eyes. Life would be dull without me on this bb and you know it, Lyndon.
Woodrow - excuse my poor choice of words. It was not what I meant. I meant to say that given the way the share price has performed in recent times, it doesn't really deserve to go up like so many underperforming shares have done as of late. The share price has thus let a lot of people down including myself who had to attend a work interview today. 6 years retired and now having to look at work again. I was like a duck out of water in today's interview. Work? What's that? Thanks Parsons for making me have to go back to the perils of the work world.
I apologise to all SOU shareholders for my comments. I'll leave you all be for now and will await the forthcoming news. I may even have a dabble if the price goes any lower. I have a sneaky feeling this could start performing well again should a deal be signed. GLA.
