moment of madness....

..

... ...when the Jolly Mad Bottom?

.

is like wearing blindfolds, sage ...let the light in

elliptical lol

surely prospect of spurt??

u capitulated?

...surely hitting stop loss central lol

need a new name?

that's quite a call you've made (if that was yr 500k sale)... ...the value here is extraordinary imv: decent cash; strong shareholder value agenda; good business space and low multiples if overhead costs squashed (which shareholder shd be on top of) ... (but I am not buying more atm cos sentiment here & across AIM sucks lol) ...opinion only

I would ignore pro Russia/EU dichotomy...it is a rusky red herring imv...just because they are paranoid (and have suffered appalling invasions), it doesn't make all rusky PoVs operational lol...the issue is continuing Ukrainian independence ...So, do a clear majority of Ukrainians want to throw in the towel and merge with Russia? Their history suggests that many Ukrainians would resist that prospect ... ...But I accept that (if a clear majority wanted it), it would probably be legit atb

why accept gross effective illiquidity?? ..opinion only

interesting proposed case study...key question: is Ukraine at all like the Ottoman Empire...the answer is so clear, I will not patronise you any further lol ...Silver/Happy, we have to disagree (perhaps disagree to disagree lol)...which is fairly standard in tense geopolitical standoffs/no worries ...none of us are calling the shots ...so let's see what happens ..Adieu

if a majority of Ukrainians want Ukraine as a whole to join Russia, fair play...but I doubt they do... ...a majority in a part of E Ukraine who may want to secede, is not an adequate/sufficient condition for separation

danger of analysis being backward looking...here & OPM the future is v bright imv...both are super high growth (potentially lol)...and the op gearing here is awesome ...dyor/no advice intended

don't agree with yr perspective... ...Lebensraum all to do with Nazi sense of superiority over Slavs ("It was the stated policy of the Nazis to kill, deport, or enslave the Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, and other Slavic populations, whom they considered inferior, source wiki) and nothing to do with Sudetenland (the incorporation into the Reich of German speaking equals)... ...the danger here is boundary change under the undue influence of a powerful neighbour ....on the intuitively attractive (but fatally flawed) notion that minority populations within existing borders have a natural right to choose...they don't

interesting new thread gambit...wasn't it hunting with dogs? or more specifically allowing the dogs to tear a wild animal limb from limb for fun?

lol...tks for the career tips and the one liners ...in this case the comparison is less wanton......since the underlying comparison with Sudetenland is so strong...and also the Ruskies take (largely justifiable imv) pride in their unbelievable defense/victory against the Wehrmarkt (did you guys catch the first episode on Saturday night of the German hit dramatisation btw?) so it seems especially ironic/tragic that latter day Russia should be (potentially) repeating Hitler's folly
