shhh - now you're just making me blush!
We at least she's underway at last! Happy days ahead chaps

Takes all sorts!

Claret
I'll maybe take you up on that! As we've noted before, great ales (and pork pies) up t'north!

Great comment. Forecasted 50 of the last 2 gold price rises!

Intrigued by the subject line I looked up 'Sinclair' and 'Gold price' on Google.
Some, on the face of it, fairly outlandish claims about future Gold price. $35000?
Well, why not. Just off to buy some bling. If you attend the next AAU presentation I will be the bloke sitting around looking like Mr T

Hi Claret. Whether we leave the EU on 29th seems uncertain at the moment, I suspect that the decision will drag on past that date, but what do I know? I still don't see the UK being so pivotal on the worldwide stage that it will cause the price of a worldwide commodity like gold to move decisively in either direction (but what do I know?). What will probably move is Sterling vs the Dollar in which, of course, both gold and silver are priced. And I suspect there will be a UK stock market reaction which AAU, along with all other stocks, will be affected by. Will all depend on what is already priced in (this situation isn't exactly breaking news after all), and again...guess what....what do I know?
I'm doing nothing. Sitting tight, if I don't I'm bound to make the wrong decision - I have history.

Think there could be some wait for relisting yet DeepestBlue
The 'rescue' share issue was around 50p I believe. Depends on what news comes out prior to relisting whether it is 50p, 50p! The first few minutes of trading will be volatile I would suggest, because the market makers will be as much in the dark as everyone else.

Just looked up my records. The first occurrence of me holding ITM was Financial Year 2008/9!

Thanks Desert, Seaangler
Believe me, I've been around investing for rather more years than I care to remember! Trouble is that the safe shares, even dividend payers, are often not what they seem to be. So I tend to gravitate towards ones that will make me rich....or broke. ITM has a good product, it has every reason to succeed. But will it? I have invested so the nowt option is gone....
I agree that its technology could be attractive to others, even vehicle companies themselves if they want to promote the hydrogen argument by setting up their own infrastructure the way that Tesla did?.
Think I've just had a bad start on this one, but glad my baseline is 24p. Was just having a vent having seen it increase 25% a few days back then plunge, in fact last thing today to 19.6p! Sorry chaps, will try and be more glass half full in future!

Hate to put a downer on this, but as I recent investor I am wondering if I have made a mistake here. Have made a few quid bobbing in and out of ITM over the years. That is why it was still on my radar and I decided to reinvest again at 24p after the SP had been well into the 30s on promising newsflow. Saw it rise again to 30p then plummet to its current level on an indifferent update RNS. It feels like a fuel cell company I once held, Ceramic Fuel Cells, lots of grants, lots of test units in the field, lots of upbeat rhetoric from the Board. But ultimately petered out to nothing and eventual administration. A stop loss being set I think.

Non Exec 'resignation'.
Interesting wording, if t were a reference you wouldn't consider it 'glowing;

Daisan
Agree with what you say. Drop in tonnage ore mined for seasonal reasons? There is a good stockpile at t'mill anyway. Feed grade (AU) is, I think, the highest we have seen so far, though to an extent the management can chose the grades from the stockpiled ore to get the result they want. Plant working at steady rate quarter on quarter so no apparent maintenance problems there. Same amount of gold, lots of silver!
The gold is sold as soon as poured, the average gold & silver price achieved may be a little lower Q3 -> Q4 but the silver production will compensate, financial result should be very similar to last month hopefully. I liked comment, which you also noted, implying the loan may get paid off prematurely.
Could do without Trump threatening to 'destroy the Turkish economy' this morning, although in the short term the effect on the Lira will help costs I suppose.
See Dibs, we do get back on topic when there is news.

ps any old car nut should consider watching 'Car SOS' on Channel 4. The one last Monday, restoring an early MGA 1500 was one of the best I have seen.

I managed to avoid the results but did watch MOTD so saw your victory. That was a lot of own goals! Not safe yet but on the way maybe. Fulham and Huddersfield look very precarious already.
I prefer the XK8(X150) to the F Type that followed it, but do like the Maserati, Its pretty but not ostentatious - an occasional use car though rather than everyday driver I think.
With older Jags I love the pre E Type sports cars, my favourite being the XK120 since the day I saw a totally immaculate one at Prescott hill climb. Less developed than say the XK150,with no disc brakes, but a lovely slender shape.
I'm still watching AAU with a possible further buy if upcoming news reinforces the conclusions that some of us have reached here - which I think it will. My average purchase price is now around 1.4p, and I feel loathe to raise it tbh. Seems to have found a level at 1.525/1.60.

Dibs
Point taken, and am happy to discuss AAU. I recently commented on the likely 4th quarter revenue and costs.
But at the moment there is little or nothing to talk about. Even the company tweets have stopped!
The next events should be 4th quarter production results from Red Rabbit and results of the recent drilling at the 100% AAU owned Kizicukur. Both imo 2 weeks+ away

That Chrysler Maserati is a new one on me. Looks like a derivative of the old Maserati Biturbo?
I agree with you about mileages on a Maserati vs Porsche etc. Added to that the Maserati is 'special', the others relatively common. If only it wasn't for the potential £20k+ potential engine rebuilds! That why I think a pre purchase inspection, from a marque expert, would be a wise investment.
VanVan, what about a Jaguar XK (the X150 models)?

is the 'he' in the subject me?
If so then yes. And the other fella. So you can both waste your time and write reams for all I care.
I assume a Maserati would boil up and go bang in Nevada so you may not have seen one!

Looked into buying one a year or so ago.
They are a total bargain, and very beautiful cars but........if anything goes wrong with the engine or gearbox they are financially a write off.
The specialist I would use to vet the car is McGrath Maserati. Great reputation but I doubt cheap!
A good choice, future classic, along with the earlier car with virtually the same body but a smaller turbo engine (and the famed boomerang rear lights)

Agreed that they are built to withstand severe conditions and that AM would in future seek shelter only in the most extraordinary conditions if ever. But I would have expected the initial hook up itself to be attempted only in pretty benign conditions, they wont risk damage to the buoy and/or AM which would could result in massive delay. So I think we have a wait.

Enjoying the transatlantic posts DJ, you come across as very eloquent.
Being nosey I wonder why you invest here - not so much companies like Lloyds which is a massive bank with international presence and quoted on several markets but a tiny little minnow like AAU....indeed how did you hear of it? I say that because the problems of owning overseas shares (other than in some form of collective investment) usually seems more trouble than they are worth. I recently had a right old battle with Barclays Stockbrokers over an ex AIM share called Protonex which was taken over by a company called Ballard on NASDAQ. Too long a story to reproduce here, suffice to say it was eventually resolved in my favour by the FInancial Ombudsman and it has put me off direct investments other than UK for good!
I too know of Dic, and yes, he gets carried away but there is definately some wisdom there and I will always read his posts (and overlook the imaginative spelling!).
Lastly to Claret - good luck at home to Fuham. At least theres a reasonable of a result today

Bloody hell DJ
Long post - we have a an expression this side of the pond 'pot calling the kettle black' - not sure if its travelled....
Have a great weekend to everyone (except maybe those who have filtered me!)
