The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring financial educator and author Jared Dillian has been released. Listen here.
You know I'm thinking of going back to this niche little stock that I saw about 10 years ago 0.000000008 a share, bargain I thought, they make widgits for some industry. Never invested there and think its probably a scam but just thought I'd write and tell you about it because its sunday morning and i was a bit board. I hope for all our sakes that I am wrong of course and that it could just be a fantastic investment. Really I have no idea what I'm doing here, is it lunchtime yet.
A question was asked last night as to whether or not a certain person is a fraud and a certain company, a scam. The answer from a certain person was yes. It was later stated that a certain person believed another certain person to be a liar.
In trying to be helpful could I suggest that people do not, and in fact, cannot, make statements like this.
“1. You should be on guard against making statements which could be defamatory. A defamatory statement is one which injures the reputation of another person: it "tends to lower them in the estimation of right-thinking members of society generally”
2. Such a statement constitutes a "libel" if it is:
• published (publication, for these purposes, is simply the communication of the defamatory matter to a third person) and
• in writing, print or some other permanent form”.
I have been a liberal thinker all my life, I am not opposed to alternative postulations from non invested people here, if they wish to waste their time that is their decision. If people choose to respond to rightly defend, that is their decision, i have done it but no more, because the resulting bickering and trading of insults is not healthy, constructive or interesting. There are undoubtedly people here with a short term agenda, and others, whose agenda is just too complex for me to work out, so I have given up. Life is too short to be bothered frankly. My reason for being here is to invest in this company as I happen to believe in it, that it will be a success and that I will make money. When? I have absolutely no idea, but, personally, I trust the integrity of the people doing all the hard work at least 12/16 hours a day I imagine, living and breathing it, to make it a success.
Savvy didn't say 'any time soon'. It's very simple really, if you believe, as I think you do, in the concept that this can be a big business then you sit back and wait. If you don't believe that then you sell up. Nothing difficult about it. We all have doubts, concerns and we all hope tomorrow will be a good day, but if nothing much appears to happen, we wait again. You have to believe in it if you've got money in it and it's not ramping to believe in something.
i was simply using an anecdote about pins to illustrate how specialised some interests can be. You must admit an interest in the mechanics of CLN funding for its own sake is pretty specialised. I am interested in CLN as it applies to Syme. I am not so naive to believe that someone not invested travels round different shares with an academic eye out for CLN applications in theory and practice? In all humility of course I may be wrong and Rosie is an academic in pursuit of pure knowledge, in which case apologies to him of course.
thistinhat.."You lot are nuts, the share went down over 20% then it recovered by about half, meaning it’s still 10% down on the week!! Anyone having confidence in buying needs their head read!! But GLA but I guess we’ll find out soon".
The thing some people fail to grasp is it's not about the share price currently, it's about the company. Lth's believe in Syme Tradeflow and the people that run it. Long term investing, not short term gain. I also happen to think that AZ is the best man for this part of the job. We have been very calm, unlike the build up to 1st April and I think we seem to have a more mature approach to tomorrow, I sincerely hope the sp goes up on the news which I hope we will get, but long term, we will get it and this will do very well, and so will we. GLA
wow that is a niche interest. once sold a framed set of butterflies to somebody that came many miles for them. He wasnt interested in the butterflies, he wanted the pins. Takes all sorts I suppose , but the mechanics of CLN funding that must take a special kind of mind.
I think, in all humility, we should all take a moment out just to commiserate with MarcEtMaker who yesterday at 11.45 stated that “Think .23 is looking good for a quick trade. Load your rifles”. I think he must have suffered greatly from this loss and our thoughts, for a moment, are with this kind soul. His loaded rifle must be a sad reminder to him that in fact he is firing only blanks.
Actually, when left to ourselves, and not being invaded by non invested folk whose only interest is to get our shares, this bb is excellent and full of positive (not ramping) informative discussion and debate.
Parm, Wiggy, you are quite right, I forgot myself for a minute there and tried a gentler approach, but been in mental health long enough to realise you cant help sociopaths to see.
We know this is going up soon and will be a whopper. I have my rockets on the launch pad! GLA
Once upon a time was a band of trolls
Who fancied themselves in profit taker roles
On Syme they worked to take their cut
From hard working investors who’d saved up
Their technique was simple just bash the share
And undermine the weak inclined who had invested there
They’d hide in wait until the date
They saw a wobble in the price
And make the most of data rate and undermine this ‘fool’s paradise’
But we’re not so naïve to fall for their foxy ways
We’ll fight in the hills, the beaches and the bays
And when Syme goes north our 10 green bottles
Will be full of Château Lafite Rothschild, and we’ll get sozzled
And in the greasy café the trolls with their cold tea and nuts
Will be green with envy but we’ll just laugh and shout ‘Up your guts!’
Excellent peak, that's the way, exactly the way to deal with toxic people who come on here, insult everyone, start a rowing theme and being negative. Ignore them and just keep putting up positive information in response each and every time.
