Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how things turn out) AAU is >>>5% of mine. Yet compared to other big holdings I do feel safer here, and that there is a greater upside. It seems that net annual revenue from Kiziltepe attributable to AAU will exceed 50% of the current MC from April next year. And when Tavsan is debt free and in production...…..
I have sold a signifcant slice of my HUR over the last couple of days, again a share with massive potential but one which i judge leaves me more exposed on the downside. Time will show if I am right or wrong (usually the latter)

Yes, wonderfully off topic but there is nothing else to talk about!
Its a manual 3.4, surprisingly the 'S' was sold from late 2005, some time before they introduced the base (if you can call it that) 2.7 a year later. Mine has to live outside as I only have a single garage and my 1999 Elise is in that!
As for the SP we will see what happens when we reach a debt free position next year, l feel comforted that (a crashing POG/POS or political upheaval in Turkey aside) we should be comfortably underpinned at above my current average.

I bought a Porsche for the first time 6 months ago, my first ever. Its a 2005 Cayman S (one of the very first sold in the UK), low mileage in superb condition. And do I regret it? No, can honestly say it's surpassed my expectations and then some. Just pleased that I never bought a Porsche earlier in my life because I could never have returned to anything cheaper/ more sensible! Don't do the lottery except in a syndicate, but if AAU eventually get into gear I would mothball this one and buy a Cayman R or GT4. 911s have got the engine in the wrong place!

POG and POS don't look too shabby today. Think we need a rise in metal prices to give the SP some direction in the short term (purely my opinion)

I agree with the latest posts on this thread. The government could not put in £200m and solve the problem. In 6 month it would have to again, and again, and again. When confidence has gone in a business selling a long lead time product then the business is dead. Far better to put money in Sirius which at least has a viable future and will provide employment, proper jobs, in an area where it is desperately needed. I am NOT a SXX shareholder by the way

Nothing personal.....it just business. That's how the Capitalist model works, you have to accept it or not participate. I assume anyone posting on a board such as this accepts it.

If successful, WC will probably have the same effect on SP as the very successful LC. Something to look forward to.....

No!! 350p!

Have you been playing with that DeLorean again Emptyvessel?

I agree Bearbull that probably the only way to make life changing amounts in equities is to go OTT on a speculative investment which has the potential to go t*ts up. It can also sadly be a pretty good way to lose life changing amounts! I can imagine the cataclysmic effect an RNS would have declaring aquafer water had been detected at Lancaster - the negative interpretation of that would put a big question mark over the entire FB assets - maybe SXX (which I thankfully always avoided despite looking at several times due to the obvious interest from PIs) has made me think a bit. I will still remain heavily invested here, just not ludicrously invested as now.

I cant see what will ever shift this. Nothing but good news since FOIL, apart from WD of course. FOIL guesses, Malcys assessment, brokers estimates all £1 +. Now 46p, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it drift lower. No significant financing taken on, no significant EPS teething problems, production above expectation, PoO holding up, apparently very successful LC well, always on time, on budget. Have to admit I am thinking of a bit of a haircut here as I have put in a probably more than sensible amount thinking HUR was a bit special. Some shares seem to attract optimists (SXX for instance until the last terrible week for them) this one seems to attract (or rather not attract) those who think its likely to all go horrible wrong tomorrow. As I say, I just cant see that changing.

This used to happen when I first started posting, so will revert to my tried and tested simplistic solution - copy onto the clipboard before sending just in case!!
Well done to Burnley, the LSE AAU adopted football (soccer DJ) team!

LSE has eaten my response to M20ASH as well! I give up

I give up. LSE has decided to swallow by oh so clever and witty reply by not publishing it. Think I'll have a G&T instead

Got to be careful what you say VanVan. Don't contradict Greta Thunberg!!

Thanks Reverandy and SIPP. Will get my donation sent

You haven't seen the average Telford resident!

We don't get many cacti in Telford except at the garden centre

Sadly yes. New bookings will plummet - shareholders should ask themselves would you book with them now not knowing if they will be around when your trip is dues? Unfortunately due to the nature of the business further decline is self fulfilling

I was unfaithful recently and did dabble in PMO. Sorry HUR. However having been 10-15% down most of my PMO 'experience' I bailed out at 93 ish earlier at a profit this week in the post RSA attack spike. Made a bit of beer money, about 400 pints in fact (or 250 if I visit London!). Just hold here and BP as oilies now. Not selling HUR.
Re. AIM, there surely is a case for listing on the main market. Obviously a disadvantage for new investment in that SD would be payable but also I would assume FTSE 250 membership would be a given due to the market cap, which itself assures an amount of investment by funds. I believe SXX is currently a FTSE250 company, so I imagine a vacancy has appeared...….
