22 million? Was that ever mentioned? It would be 13% of share cap even today, and 22% 2 years ago when there was around 100m shares in issuance

Never had the attention span for a regular job so I prefer to hang out on chatrooms and trade shares, amongst a bit of paying consultancy of a technical nature when I can steel myself to read through 300-page reports and write my own thoughts. Hyperactivity and attention deficit aren't constants BTW, just make periods of my life more active and I seem to get a little manic at times. Like posting 100s of posts per day on LSE....

For reasons of a seriously nasty/scary fight on another share - a fight I only sat on the sidelines for, but nevertheless came in for fire - I don't really want to link my Jimbobtechstock handle to my earlier username but I was active on ADVFN as JTS too.

I did live in Berlin. But nothing I say on this BB can prove it and nothing you say can disprove it. I could post some pictures that aren't previously available on the internet but that night at the Erotikmesse should remain between me and my camera... OK, so taking your post at 12:29 at face value: 1./ Close inspection by independent expert during DD did not find any blocking issues with Lohorano. So can we draw a line under that discussion and agree that Bass have a decent asset and enough capital to make this finally work, and that Stratmin are odds on to make the tranche criteria (since the criteria is nowhere near 100% of capacity of 1 concentrator for tranche 1 and an 2 concentrators for tranche 2). 2./ The BOD are not the same BOD you have a gripe with. To want this to go to the wall now because someone else *cked you over seems unfair on everyone else involved in this today who contributed absolutely nothing to your prior loss. I think every single CP-era director has now gone? (from memory). 3./ To talk this down because of your loss 2 years ago seems grossly unfair on the other "innocent parties" such as those who have lost a lot and held, as well as those who have joined recently. I don't include myself in the "innocent parties" because as you point out I have traded this on the peaks and troughs and on many investment fora that makes me a Bad Guy because I'm not a Proper Investor (TM). But I did stake £30k of my own money on this during last summer and I did fail to take profit when it rose to 5p and I was left holding the baby come January *despite* my knowledge of the markets and ability to trade when I choose to. We all get caught out every now and then. Oh, and I have talked to Arminius on the phone. He does have a European accent, although I'd say more Dutch than German. I am not Arminus because I have an English accent (northern, but warn off).

I was a lurker on LSE and posted mainly on ADVFN. I didn't buy STGR till it fell to around 5.25p 18 months ago, I was watching it as a recovery play and by the time Brett took over as CEO the pieces were in play for a recovery. I think I calculated we needed around £1.5m to fix the mine but hadn't appreciated that pretty much every production figure prior to BOD changing was based on pretty much dust rather than flake. Anyway, I maintain firmly that the whole reason this didn't recover is that people were screwing it down at precisely the time Stratmin had a couple of guys actually capable of getting the mine working. And the negative voices at the time included yours. I lived in Berlin too, near Bernaeur Str. close to Holzhauser Str. UB. Don't remember seeing anything about tax returns being available, in fact I remember generally there was a very strong privacy ethic - like email, we had to sign numerous wavers to acknowledge that our work email was being scanned for viruses by an automated programme, so technically was not private!! I also remember having to leave work at 5:30 on the dot because of the strict maximum working week rule. But I'm just adding that detail to make my story more believable. Because it's true. Like not being able to buy Salt and Vinegar crisps and WTF-ing at a whole week's festival dedicated to asparagus (Spargelfest) and wondering why it was white in germany and green in the UK... Hey ho. I guess on the internet we're all dogs.

"I lost over a hundred grand on here." Forgive me but didn't you once tell me 30k was a pretty brave gamble on a microcap AIM miner? And now you say you lost over 100k here??!! And having read pretty much every post on here for over 2 years you never once mentioned being seriously underwater on this???

You're avoiding responding to the substantive point I made earlier. You claim to have lost money last year yet you never had a good word to say about the share in the last 18 months. So you were talking down your own investment? You claim this deal was bad for Stratmin, yet last year you claimed the mine was shot. So either we were lucky to get rid of a dodgy asset in which case you are wrong this year, or we got a rum deal in which case you were wrong last year about the asset being bad. You claim rampers cost PIs their hard-earned money yet if we had decent investor sentiment last year we would have raised the money needed to patch up the concentrator ourselves then used the production (which WAS ramping up, check the Bass Metals presentation with actual growth of production figures) - we would have used the production profit to grow. Simple fact here is that a crew got their teeth in and cost PI money. All part of the game. But the de-rampers come here to destroy sentiment and ensure their paymasters' shorts pay off and that is who has conned PIs out of their money on this.

But I do know. I paid someone to find out.

I have a short attention span. Doesn't really matter at my age, just means I spend my days playing blitz chess online and trading shares. Simultaneously. Works well for me. No ramper got me in here - I started on ADVFN and all I saw was negative posts. I posted there for many years but got sick of the bullpit c*ck-bragging contests. I did more research than most on Lohorano and my conclusion is the same as 2 lots of DD by Bass, the second time they were forced to employ an independent expert to satisfy ASIC. The mine fundamentally is good. The problem was the botched concentrator and absence of any long-term mining plan together with poor resource planning. Now here's where I start to get angry. Very angry. Because the same people who are here today kicking stratmin whilst it's down, to close their shorts, are the very same people who were posting relentlessly last year that the mine was not good, pulling the share price down to make it impossible for STGR to raise money off its own mcap to patch up the mine. The net result is that the BOD had no option but to look to outside financing, the ill-fated original Bass deal, and then the sale of the asset. If you lost money here I would be seriously angry at the concerted effort by a band of shameless individuals to punish STGR for what the previous BOD failed to do. The shorting is all part of the game, but the disingenuous posting on BBs turns it into a racket and I don't know how they sleep at night, I really don't.

Serious de-rampers, I am diagnosed ADHD there is no way you can outpost me

Disengenous? This time last year the book cost of my 750k shares was £30k By Christmas they were worth £20k and by the new year £15k. So hell yes I traded this in the rinse, buying sub 1.5p and selling over 1.75p. BUT LOOK WHAT HAPPENED ONLY LAST WEEK De-rampers came to kick this as it slipped back to 1.5/1.75 and I bought. A fair bit. I then sold that batch over 2.25p and now the price fell back I bought more. Who am I cheating out of their money? Not the LTHs. Not even the have-a-go PIs. No, I'm betting against the house. Now I have a 2p average on a million shares. On top of that I made money on CPX, SRES, WRES, APC, CRND and SEPU amongst many others, playing various strategies. It's easy to come on here and kick a share when its down, but I'm definitely NOT a man on the floor. Far from it. So you come here suggesting I'm playing an underhand game - well I never shorted this, and I never reduced my average holding, I increased - albeit traded it to my advantage. So shoot me. Or shut up.

How come whenever this share looks even weaker than usual the same 3 or 4 faces appear to kick it further? And today one of those CONSISTENT negative voices claims to have lost a lot of money on this share, last year. Well big surprise, you spent the whole year talking your investment down. Killed sentiment and it tanked. Oh but no, hes a proven liar. My sob story is next

i'm being double-teamed... how many bitcoin is that??? 3p then 5p are still my targets. predict this christmas many times better than last for STGR

You're probably right, it's already 1.699 to buy, which is only a fraction below my 100k buy yesterday. bid rising too. Puts that in shake territory. If MM know VSA specialise in *alternative* funding options then theyd shake it down to get the shares they neex.

I'd rather talk about why you're back in town talking this share down and what you want to achieve? I mean, it's already on its knees so you're trying to suppress a rise when you close, is that your game? And if you really thought there'd be a bucket shop/bergen-style Bad Raise here you wouldn't bother. You and your crew haven't given this share a chance, the new BOD could have fixed things but you know how it works, if you spot a weakness .... jump on it. Well honestly, good day to you. If you talk it down I will respond. If you come here to pass the time of day then I won't.

Oh - and out overnight is not out out. It's just the last few days over there has given a decent re-entry mid morning so there's no point risking my short term play money getting locked in like I did here. I do like a good day trade every now and then. And if I get locked out - I've long given up worrying about missed gains, that kind of thinking takes one's eye off the ball, leads to own goals

Ha ha. Very droll. Couple of my posts gone too. As for my trading secrets I'll let you know when the book is out. Curious though, you're always here to lend a handy word or two of advice - I must really look the mug punter to you, like a shabby old nerd in need of a tip or 2 at the casino. Keep 'em coming, I'm hopeless without your wisdom

And before you're asking, no I didn't leave my money in SEPU overnight... ;)

I'm looking forward to moving all my SEPU profit here before it goes boom with the financed venture and no heavily discounted placing to give GH and crew a decent closing point for their shorts
