Lex…I suppose AZ has long since given up reading the rubbish written on this board, he has so much better things to do, trying hard to bring his ideas into the market. You say that ‘Employees further the pretence for many over promotes.’ Have you actually been in correspondence with TJ? You say that the TF ‘guys surely can't believe their luck in meeting a desperate AZ so keen to overpay all to further the story’. How old are you Lex? Have you no respect for people? I have been in contact with TJ on a number of occasions over the last year, he built his company over years and thought long and hard and did full dd on his decision to join Syme. You think a respected finance professional with years of experience and reputation would join AZ because AZ was ‘so keen to overpay all to further the story’. What a jaundiced view of people you have. No point in me even starting to mention Jim Coyle, your pathetic argument for high profile employees being that it’s a start up and the majority fail. Anyone new here please note Jim Coyle, Chairman. 2021 to present (HSBC Bank Board 2015- now, M&S Bank Board 2015-now, Supply@MECapital plc Chair 2021, Board and SID of Honeycomb Investment Trust 2015-now, Scottish Water Board 2016-now, Deloitte Oversight Board 2019-now , World First Board Chair 2017- 2019, Lloyds Banking Group 1991- 2015, BP Group 1981- 1990 and KPMG 1977- 1981).
Lex..don’t think he needs the money, or any advice from anyone, let alone someone who spends all day posting rubbish on a penny share he’s not even invested in.

Tony Brown said yesterday that all he could say was that long term investment requires patience. Nobody on here can deny his abilities. Nobody. Jim Coyle, Tom James, Amy Benning etc etc, they would all say the same. It is a young company with a great idea and indisputably very good, very capable people with in some cases quite exceptional experience. Jim Coyle must have one of the finest brains in finance, anywhere! The so called de-rampers here are asked repeatedly, have been for the almost a year I've been here, why? they will never say, it is proof enough they are here that they are fascinated by Syme. It is a bare knuckle ride, but we are in at the very beginning, so so it should be. If Tony Brown tells me its a long term investment and it requires patience, he knows, that is the answer, the holy grail, nothing more to be said, it requires patience. Put your seat belt on and stop checking the sp or this board every two hours. It is going to come good....patience.

I was in TG informal group, but got thrown out for not making enough contributions....only visit here occasionally now as it had become a very sad place...can't trust anyone it seems...funny people in a funny world.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The shares were all banked in HL and with care,
In hopes that AZ and Tom James soon would be there;
To deliver the goods and make us all rich
With Syme, their international pitch.
The investors were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of ferrari’s and lambo’s danced in their heads;
‘21 has been a year of expansion
A long haul towards buying a mansion,
Working hard to bring our Inventory Monetisation,
So we could spend time on vacation
IM platform to market, after pilot in Italy
Skilfully, dizzily, giddily, tinselly, perhaps a holiday in Sicily
The wheels are in motion for IM’s here too
As well as the MENA region, a Shariah-compliant avenue
they welcomed ISPB Morval, it’s true, it’s true,
and we welcomed TradeFlow to the Supply@ME Group
John Collis and Tom James, what a scoop
Plus top names in the fintech, trade and finance sector
Coyle, Kavanagh, Buxton, Benning, Bonini, Brown, mmm, nectar
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a huge sleigh, and eight reindeer,
With an Italian driver, in magnificent sled
I knew in a moment, it must be AZ
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of shares, and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney AZ came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of shares he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a pedler just opening his pack.
His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled shares in the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like a ballistic missile
But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night."

Merry Christmas to you too Mister Green

Dear Santa
I have been thinking about the pressies I would like this Christmas; my wife said I should ask for a chair so I can write every day in my little diarrhea. But I think that’s boring. I have lost my list of things I want, so please just send me the stuff you forgot from last year. Just wondering how you’ll get into here though this year as we’ve just installed a very expensive security system to keep the plebs from taking pics of me in the garden. Dad says you only bring pressies for the good little boys though. How do you fit all those toys into your sleigh, as we have huge supply problems at the moment, and that might be an answer. I am sorry again about last year and was very hurt by your note that neither cookies nor milk were left, and/or were spoiled, stale, or otherwise substandard and my stocking contained toe jam and pet hairs, I have had a word with nanny and this won’t happen again, I promise. The other day I asked my private secretary if she thought you would be coming down the chimney still and she said “yeah, no sh-t, moron”, so I guessed she must have been feeling a bit under the weather as we are not having a secret santa party here this year. Last year I tried to help plebs and no one behaved better than me, I did errands for my dad and helped an elderly lady across the street (though it turned out she didn’t want to go) so what balls you have last year leaving me a f--king yo-yo and a whistle. What the f--k were you thinking you fat pr-ck. Oh I’m so sorry santa, I had a mist come over me there, please forgive me. All this “partygate” business has got me a bit rattled.
What I really want this Christmas is a rainbow unicorn that poops ice cream.
Love as always, Boris x

PS. Even though I now know the truth I just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed believing in you all these years.

pedrolancaster...don't read the demons and disruptors on here that sit on the shoulders of the vulnerable, the overstretched, the new and whisper in their ears about how this 'company is going into liquidation' and its directors are full of 'BS' and all the negative drivel they write...not to save money for us poor investors, as they couldn't give a monkeys about you, but because they have ulterior motives which we cannot understand, but most assuredly are about them making money. Think only of the definite positives, the known knowns we have ie Jim Coyle's background and reputation. Would a man like that, who has a lifetime in finance at the highest level and who must be very comfortable, would he risk his reputation, would he not have done due diligence, would he not have been really excited by this company, the answer of course is he knows that this is a great concept and is excited by it. Tom James told me personally that he spent 5 years building Tradeflow, he thought long and very hard about becoming part of the Group and decided it was a good idea. look at his background. Look at the backgrounds of all the directors. Look at the level of recruiting going on just now and in the recent past. The facts are clearly there to see about the strong line up of people working hard, not 8 hour days, they are living this 24/7. No need to 'hope' they are working to make this a success and it will be.

Brass...like Holly....would Jim Coyle have joined if it looked like this company was going into liquidation? what do you think he's been doing all his life?

On The twelfth day of Christmas AZ did send to me
Twelve inventory funders
Eleven trolls booted out the door
Ten great RNS’s to come in new year
Nine plus portfolio of clients in the MENA region
Eight gazillion clients
Seven wheelbarrows for the cash
Six or more great directors
Five H…S…B….Ceeeeee
Four ICC networks
Three IM’s for first quarter
Two bolt on acquisitions
and a NASDAQ listing for the New Year!

I don't understand your constant personal attacks on Lseking. You say you are invested, surely our critical efforts should be focused on people who are not invested and who are constantly negative and attacking this company. Why attack a fellow lth? and his profession (which I would love to have done) has absolutely no bearing on this at all. I worked in mental health does that mean I am not allowed to put my money into a company I choose. It's not relevant at all.

The disruptors are there to undermine your reputation here Peak. Regardless of the sp position, and yes, we all want it to be higher (and it will be) there is only one person in this company, amongst, now, many brilliant people, who had the vision, the drive, the leap into the unknown, from the start. Many people don’t see it still. We wouldn’t have the Syme Group as it is now without AZ. These brilliant top draw people would not be together if it wasn’t for AZ. You need a flamboyant ebullient personality, an entrepreneur who doesn’t allow fear to overly influence his judgement. He knows what he wants, he knows who to collect around him to get there, and that’s exactly what he’s done. What would Tesla be without Musk, what if Zuckerberg thought for a second “what if I can’t do it” what if I can’t develop a worldwide social media network. Disliked as he is, how many people use social media! How can any business thrive with negative thoughts. Failures/setbacks are a normal part of building a business. Fear and doubt are what erode a dream, that’s why nobody who is negative here will ever be in AZ’s position, building what will be a global group.

Am i right in thinking that news is 'expected' rather than 'promised'? In light of all the previous times here we have anticipated a date or RNS I for one will be cautious. I hope news will come by the 31st but we all know it will come when it comes. I know it will come just don't know when.

Look at some of the comments this morning from the disruptors, doom merchants, oh, and of course our resident country cousin yokel who has come in from the sticks to join us
"The backside will drop out of this share.""
"How rotten is the corpse? "
"Maggoty putrid stench or just a few flies circling?"
"last rites being administered on this"
"you best start to listen to us bears if you want to preserve your capital - or at least what little is left of it"
Bernard (the turkey **** taking farmer) not sure what game he's playing except he's about as near to a cows udder as Voyager1.
For newbies looking in, don't be put off by the above, as usual do your own research.
Jim Coyle is clearly bringing his calvinist sobriety to the table to co the temper the Italian ebullience. Let us remember these safe hands;- HSBC Bank Board 2015- now, M&S Bank Board 2015-now, Board and SID of Honeycomb Investment Trust 2015-now, Scottish Water Board 2016-now, Deloitte Oversight Board 2019-now , World First Board Chair 2017- 2019, Lloyds Banking Group 1991- 2015, BP Group 1981- 1990 and KPMG 1977- 1981. He is also a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Bankers in Scotland and a past member of the Council of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland. Etc etc oh and he became the Group Chief Accountant of Bank of Scotland in 1998.

Tom James, 30+ years international experience in the area of Commodity, Energy and Emissions markets. He is a FinTech Entrepreneur, a Fund Manager, Published Author and Published Musician. His commercial exposure has been gained through a broad range of senior executive roles in commodity trading, investment management, and commodity finance. His consultation is sought by Governments & Multinationals for advice in market developments and the health of business Ecosystems. In 2014 he was called upon to serve as Senior Energy Advisor to the United States Department of Defense (TFBSO). Etc etc.
John Collis…Oxford Uni etc etc AZ, Susanne Chishti, David Bull, Amy Benning all the team etc etc etc
There are too many to detail here (and lth’s know them anyway).
I think the only “rotting corpses” around here are our resident disruptors with little time left for their souls to get a final chance to repent in purgatory before this company with its solid team move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. (That's not your farm Bernard)

I would be very wary of anyone who call themselves a chartered accountant here. Some of a supposed chartered accountant (with a team that do all the work for him) comments here;-

“****, I mean this as it sounds. You couldn't be more beneath me if you tried.”
“The people who served have intelligence, you, well, don't.”
“I can tell you left school at 16.”
“Oh *******, I've looked through your history, and I've gone cross eyed.
For God sake, is there any intelligent life out there! Guys, stop interacting with me, and I go away, simple. At the moment I'm actually loving this, it's like a new sport where I entrap the intellectually challenged.”
“Accountants are intelligent ****, so I need to let you down gently and inform you you won't make the criteria.”
“To be honest *******, because you seem to lack a great deal between the ears, I'm starting to get a bit bored by you. Either come back with a tangible response, or maybe, writing things on the internet that confirm your limited education might not be your best desired past time.”
“…you've pretty much got everything totally wrong always.”
“Other readers, its not hard to filter the people who can back up what they say, and those that, well, just basically lie”
“There is not one person replying to me on this thread that has shown they even have school level economics knowledge…”
“ it's good to know I still live in his head rent free.”

My post earlier was removed so I would repeat that I know two chartered accountants, one in his 40’s, the other recently retired. They would never have the time to spend hours on a bb, on a penny share that they were not invested in. No professional, mature, highly educated chartered accountant would dream of having such a patronising, condescending, superior attitude.
Someone who intentionally antagonises others online by posting inflammatory, and offensive comments along with disruptive content. What a coincidence, that just happens to be Merriam-Webster’s definition of a troll.
By engaging in conversation you are encouraging a non invested individual to dominate this bb with his brand of superiority gained through a respondent dependent relationship. My advice is to ignore him, or even less people will be bothered reading this bb, which is of course his goal.

I was so hoping Steve would let us have another valuable insight, into his personality and character that is.

Anyone seen Steve at all?

It's not embarrassing at all. None of the people involved in building the Syme group are losers. They have proven track record in finance and supply chains. Years, decades of experience between them. The only losers are people who are giving up and moaning. Then there are those who are just here for short term gain at the expense of everyone else. Then there are some with a special place in purgatory.

I notice that Wiggy's question of Steve's statement about teaching us all a lesson has disappeared ? I wonder why that is.

“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
Ok no RNS this morning, but there will be one at some time, and soon. This is a long term investment in a new company. You have to put your hope and faith in the people running it, AZ, Tom James, Jim Coyle, Tony Brown, Collis, Amy Benning etc etc they are all very experienced people. Don't think for a moment that they are not working as hard as they can to make this a success. It's not a corner shop, it is going to have application across the world. There are people here who are only interested in making money in the short term and because the lower it goes the more money they make they have no empathy for the many small investors who have earned their money through hard work and put it in Syme. In fact they hold us in contempt which is evident by their gloating, which is simply disgusting mockery of not well off people's hopes for a better life for their families. Nobody should ever put money into something like this unless they are willing to lose that money, that's a fundamental rule. Therefore if you haven't 'risked everything' then be patient, ignore the trolls who really couldn't give a monkeys for you, and continue to hope that in the longer term we will be rewarded for our patience.

‘By the time it came to the edge of the Forest the stream had grown up, so that it was almost a river, and, being grown-up, it did not run and jump and sparkle along as it used to do when it was younger, but moved more slowly. For it knew now where it was going, and it said to itself, “There is no hurry. We shall get there some day.” But all the little streams higher up in the Forest went this way and that, quickly, eagerly, having so much to find out before it was too late.’
