the normal lth's here, do not, as normal practice, ramp. when goaded by people who are not invested and who are openly hostile and insulting to people who have put their hard earned money into this belief, then lth's will defend this share and their position. we may find it tiresome to read, but dont confuse dedicated lth's with rampers

"Castle is Pwhite73 from Advfn" if so...he's same person who wrote in Vela that he's never been able to see the link between Covid 19 and diabetes.

my buy this morning showing as a sell, as usual. wish I had a few thousand to put in more

Peak, my grandmother was born in Pateley Bridge, so it makes me a little bit Yorkshire!

Hello York, lovely city by the way, used to meet a girlfriend (years ago)there every other weekend for day as it was half way, anyway! my first share was Lloyds however i soon realized that even with a few thousand although it would be a steady climb it was slow and at around 39p i think the progress to about 42p was only giving me a few hundred pounds. So from there to loads of shares on aim, bought millions of them dirt cheap of course usually when they were on the way up (fatal) as as soon as I bought them (always down a hole with HL) they stopped going up and went down...lost about £8k that way. Then met Syme Vela and Icon...latter a disaster, waiting on Vela but think I will sell there and put that into Syme tomorrow. I am saddened, ver saddened to see how certain people deliberately set out to disrupt this bb. It really pains me, sincerely. I dont know anyone here personally but have read every post every day since I arrived here at suspension, and there are quite a few sincere knowledgable people here who believe in this company and to see them deciding to respond to people who have, no doubt, there own motives for being disruptive as I say saddens me. You seem genuine and you are in here invested and I wish you well. i believe this will do well, and soon. Please ignore the fog of war and filter out the negative. Good luck to all Lth's for this week.

Brass and the rest of them love Syme, they are not spending their time here because they hate AZ and think this is a loser, they are here to disrupt and manipulate this bb as much as they can, to distract us all away from talking decently about this share and all the aspects that need discussion. They want newbies arriving, looking for information, to be put off and think grief i'm not getting involved in that. They disrupt because they want the shares of course as cheaply as possible. Brass knows this is going to be big, that's why he and the others are here. The greater attention to him and the others we give the more he loves it the disruption to the bb putting others off. Ignore these people. GLA for this week, could well be good news. I have my graphic rocket ready! I hope you all do too? remember competition time, there's a pint in it for the winner. Will this age well? I think so as Tom James would never have agreed to come under Syme if there were ANY doubts regardless of how its paid for. GLA

The Tool
“Any mention of supply chain financing rings alarm bells for me”. So that’s a no
“That does not mean Supply@ME is destined for the same fate as Greensill”. So that’s a yes
“Supply chain finance in itself was not the problem in this high profile bankruptcy”. So that’s a yes
“However, Supply@ME has a complicated business model”. So he doesn’t understand it then
“The UK’s financial regulator has only just allowed Supply@Me shares to trade again” Hardly ‘only just’
“and seemingly given it a clean bill of health”. ‘Seemingly’ I think you will find it is a clean bill of health
“But, I am still approaching the stock with a high degree of caution”. So that’s a no
“It isn’t easy to get a handle on what Supply@ME does, but here is what I have been able to ascertain”. So how can you judge something you don’t understand?
“If this all sounds complicated, it’s because it is. And it’s going to get more complex”. Is it? So that’s a no
“Supply@ME has acquired TradeFlow Capital Management”. So that sounds like a yes
“This Singapore-based outfit” ‘Outfit’? sounds like a dodgy second hand car dealer you’re describing? So that's a maybe
“I don’t doubt there is demand out there for monetising unsold inventory, which Supply@ME will continue to tap”. So that’s a yes
“But I do not think the Supply@ME share price is a bargain”. Really, at £00.0029, blimey, hate to go shopping round ASDA with you.

Brass, I've spent all day, right through lunch, missed me boiled egg and soldiers, trying to decipher your message, but think I may have grasped it, but please correct me if I haven't got the gist spot on, so to recap;-
"10.08 Johnski…..the analogy of Tom James I would give you is that my nextdoor neighbour had his house on the market just pre COVID couldn’t sell it even after reducing the price several times and eventually took it off the market…..he put it back on the market 6 months ago and some absolute muppet paid 150% of the price it couldn’t sell for a year before. I asked my next door neighbour who valued it and he said the estate agents suggested a price a little above his last years attempt but his mate down the pub a bricklayer ( an independent valuer ) said tell the estate agent to stick it on at a massively inflated price and see if some idiot will buy it……the house sold the following week and my next door neighbour is now lying in the sun in Portugal"
So what you are trying to say is that Tom James talked to AZ about his ideas and work so far, over a pint down the Coach and Horses, in the hope that AZ would think, obviously a bit the worse for wear, a bit under the table, lit, what great ideas, ok I’ll buy Tradeflow for 150% more than its value. No due diligence, no thought of checking up what TF is worth by looking at the books, valuation, details of the business/sales/income, accounts, financial projections, personal assets, liabilities, no getting his lawyers to crawl over every aspect in the back room, transfer of contracts, no interviewing everyone involved etc etc just a spit on the hand in the Coach and Horses, handshake, job done. Is that how it happened then Brass?

Oh dear why go Castle...I wanted to ask you a bit more about stuff

ah! Castle...."Castle is Pwhite73 from Advfn" mmm interesting so you are the same person who wrote in Vela that you
have never been able to see the link between Covid 19 and diabetes. For those not in Vela NHS England looked at everyone who had died in hospital with coronavirus in England between March and May 2020 and found that a third of deaths happened in people with diabetes. They then found that compared to someone without diabetes, people with type 1 had around a three and a half times higher risk of dying from the virus. For people with type 2 and other types of diabetes, this risk was around twice that of someone without the condition.
my apologies to all lth's here to bring up another share but, if true, it may be of relevance in enabling us to ignore this particular line

sorry Brass, I'm just a simple numpty out in the sticks in Scotland, you will have to break that analogy down for me...which one is Tom James?

so Brass, do you think Tom James is a gullible numpty then?

It will come good Angus. People have to be patient. This is a unique concept with highly experienced, talented people doing their best to make it work. Keep the faith, it's going to work.

pwhite73 over on the other side writes that he has never been able to see the link between Covid 19 and diabetes. I would suggest he does more research. NHS England looked at everyone who had died in hospital with coronavirus in England between March and May 2020 and found that a third of deaths happened in people with diabetes. They then found that compared to someone without diabetes, people with type 1 had around a three and a half times higher risk of dying from the virus. For people with type 2 and other types of diabetes, this risk was around twice that of someone without the condition.

On the point that a company goes bust and therefore "So hiring people from Greensill & PCF Bank Not quite the credentials you want of 2 high profile failed FS companies". I worked for a charity for 18 years for Deaf and disabled people along with around 20 staff. Unfortunately following the financial crisis 2008 our building was revalued and found to have dropped dramatically in value. Therefore as an asset it was not valued as enough to cover pension liabilities, therefore the charity had to fold. As senior social worker I was made redundant. My point being that (in all modesty!) it doesn't mean necessarily that staff can all be tarred with the same brush when a company goes bottom up.

"I would like to thank all the Group's professional advisors and investors who have followed me and SYME over the past 15 months and I wish them and the management team success, growth and profitable outcomes in the coming months."
Good news to me ie '....growth and profitable outcomes in the coming months' GLA not long now
