going to top up in the morning but remain cautious about news as, like a nettle, April 1st still stings a bit. I'm optimistic though

All LTH are on a journey, sometimes on a wobbly bicycle buffeted by strong winds, sometimes in a dark tunnel, we've been almost knocked off by the juggernaut of the system, then we switched to a 80's ford, up and down but the parts were cheap, then a Porsche, we know who the driver is and what he's capable of, there's a few bends in the road but he's driving us to the Kennedy Space Centre where SpaceX is puffing steam waiting for us...apologies if this is blatant ramping but DYOR and GLA

everyone's gone to syme

Does anyone know why people on the ADFVN Board are so rabidly critical of SYME? I really don't understand why if they hate it so much they don't put their efforts into a more positive direction, or is it that they really love syme and are using reverse psychology to get us all to give up our shares so that they can buy them cheap. But why don' t they just buy them now at the low price. Presumably they are here too amongst us in a different guise, less vitriolic. Having worked for many years with people who live with cerebral palsy the word 'spastic' has been largely erased from popular English usage and is unacceptable.

..went to work at 16 and retired last year at 68. Although I worked with people with disabilities for 30 years and mental health the last 10, which was rewarding (albeit it had its moments) I always looked forward to friday night at 4.30 and felt a little down on mondays at 8. Now, retired, I feel a little down at 4.30 on Fridays and looking forward to 8 on mondays! Funny thing life.

....and who in 2014 had/has contacts as Senior Energy Advisor to the United States Department of Defense (TFBSO) ...Tom James, CEO TF
I only wish I had 34m shares here...

I am invested here but could i ask a naive question..i have always thought helium was a valuable and diminishing resource....why are we using still for blowing up kids balloons?

"Angus must be a fake account as no sane person would have 100% of their wealth in 2 high risk shares.
Honestly!"
From my work experience I can confirm that people do have, over 100%! of their money in gambling, horses, dogs etc

There is a beautiful Renaissance village on the slopes of Mount Etna, near the beaches of Sicily's picturesque east coast, called Castiglione di Sicilia. Hundreds of houses are for sale for 1 euro each! Half of them are falling into ruin, but the Mayor says they need to breathe new life into the village. They are beautiful old aged properties full of Italian character. When AZ comes good might just buy a couple !

He is now on BOIL

i came into SYME first day after suspension ended. I will stay until I make money or until I lose my money. I believe in the concept/business... maybe I have become sentimental, but I am old enough and ugly enough to make my own decisions. I believe AZ is the man for this job and he is very Italian. He will show us the promised land and then maybe do something else, but for now he is the man. Stick with it just a little longer LTH's, summer is almost here.

Wow, what an angry person you are. I read your message about an hour ago and just shocked by your level of bullying that you would go to that length to berate someone you have never met, don't know anything about. I feel like a scolded boy whose failed his french test. How dare you speak to strangers that way in that tone. i am a complete newbie, sorry i didnt realize it was a sin, we're not at prep school you know! I'm 68, spent my working life working with people with disabilities and for the last 10 years in mental health. i retired last June and thought I would buy some Lloyds shares as they were low. I progressed from there to a few disasters and now just have two shares. How dare you assume you know anything about me. You are an ignorant aggressive bully. I dont know Rachael from Adam but, taking people at their face value she posted about the sell/buy red blue so, having been in BOIL, now out, I copied, that is COPIED, text from, who I supposed to know a hell of a lot more that me, about shares ie
"This is an explanation given by 'hopingforbags' on BOIL. He has a lot more there too, but here is his explanation. I have heard similar before but as usual DYOR."
My sincere apologies that this has so vividly offended your sensitive nature and fine sense of accuracy. I did it because I assumed this to be the reason and because I wanted to help a newbie like myself.
I will be selling out here now as I could not continue on the same BB with someone who reacts as you do to complete strangers with your level of bitterness and recrimination over what is basically nothing.
Look at yourself a bit more closely and your reaction and effect on people. There are genuine people in this world you know.

When this goes north I don't know if I'll be more happy for Angus, or me

Rach
As well as invested here, I'm also in SYME. If you like a roller coaster ride then have a look! The BB is always busy, passionate, despairing. 3 items here today so far, 110 on SYME. DYOR of course.

Hi Rach
This is an explanation given by 'hopingforbags' on BOIL. He has a lot more there too, but here is his explanation. I have heard similar before but as usual DYOR.
The market do not list red/blue or buy/sell only trades

All 3rd party sites that feed on that information artificially add just like this London South East
they all do if from a BEST GUESS algorithm based on what IT thinks is the current mid price

Its pretty dim on a normal day but poor old Algo gets very confused on any busy share as it's
ideal world would just be one buy price and one sell price

The market does not comply to that wish, in most cases fairly safe to say if trade at or near
the full ask it was a buy and likewise at or near bid a sell

However when busy and the MM's are competing for business to fill client orders the lines
become blurred and the more varying prices available across the spread the more poor old
dimbo algo gets wrong

I have many times over the years both sold at near ask and bought at near bid and anything
around the invisible cut off line MID it thinks is in play are all very much a 50/50 guess

its as basic as ya get anything above what it thinks mid buy below sell and anything exactly
on mid or confused prices moved on it will choke and call UNKNOWN that popular button
we all use everyday

No matter when the trade was placed today yesterday 3 days ago (have seen them) or is a
completed in the evening after close (the big boys work 06:30-20:30) it applies the same
what it sees as now mid and prices to ALL

The stock exchanges of the world have all been offered the simple modern day tech fix's
to add real buy/sell data at source , they declined choosing TRADITION over tech lol

Hello Rach, a warm welcome. Watch out for rampers, derampers, trolls and anyone who genuinely enthusiastically says an sp is going to the moon, as usually it isnt. The main thing above all else is do your own research (DYOR). Some people are really nice and helpful, some are not. Never buy more than you can afford to lose. Be cautious. You will need to study the area you intend to invest in. Have fun. DYOR

not sure of the protocol here but are we allowed to mention other shares we are in? not as a recommendation of course and DYOR, but interesting

Only in the darkness can you see the stars

Stevebru.....Go to BOIL for an explanation by 'hopingforbags' this is his explanation from around 10 am on BOIL (He is highly knowledgeable through his long experience of share markets...worth looking at all his comments....

xmogsterx...If you go to BOIL an look on the BB for 'hopingforbags' posts at 10.07, he gives some very clear info on unknown and why sales buys appear as red etc.
