Dracula, it is what it is!…there is nothing illegal about trading in any market.

All markets have risk and reward. It’s the nature of the beast and if you strip it right back, it is pure gambling. Everyone’s risk acceptance level is different, probably due to their level of information about a particular “bet” or stock.

All gamblers believe in their luck and most, at some point, will wish they never placed that particular bet and at other times will be euphoric when they get a winner!

Blaming the “bookie” for a losing bet ain’t gonna get you anywhere!

If The EU, or specifically Slovenia, withdraw from the ECT (Energy Charter Treaty) which seems likely, then AST’s claim will disappear in a puff of smoke.

Withdrawing or not from the ECT will not change the fact that dispute settlement in favour of the Investor does not guarantee a government paying out.

If you look at the Investment Dispute Settlement Indicator (ISDI) claims can be pending for decades. There is no real mechanism for ensuring governments pay out if they are found against.

Best bet here is to trade on the current wave of optimism but as with all “trading” strategies, the trick is to get the timing right.

The gambler in me believes that with “Pharma” circling, licensing deals in the offing, positive trial data emerging and what appears to be a 12 month cash runway, this share will never see 10p or sub 10p again!

That, of course, is my not so very humble opinion! 😁

Dog farter founded and sold a financial recruitment business and yet here he is on AIM bragging about making a few hundred quid! Hmmm! Doesn’t chime with me.

Dog farter, there is a reason why HARL is a penny share, despite contract awards. Do some quality research, ensure your due diligence and you will understand why.

I could explain it but you are the type of investor who would never learn from others mistakes!

I get the impression from your posts that you are relatively young. True or not, I first started investing in 1981 as a young man. I am in my late sixties now, healthy and wealthy.

If you have researched me, you will know that I have an international portfolio of properties, love sailing and golf, enjoyed also by my wife and am in a position where I will never be financially compromised.

It sounds like bragging but it is fact!… not concerned if you believe me or not.

I do genuinely wish every investor, young or older, the best of luck as I have had over the years but it is all a gamble.

To try and establish facts, over the years, I lost heavily with AST, Eurotunnel, Telewest and others but did really well with Protherics (BTG), Amec, British Aerospace, Monument Oil & Gas, Bryson Oil & Gas, Lloyds Banking Group, ( bought at the height of the financial crisis and this year got over £9000k in dividends), Through a SIPP, I have invested in Nasdaq, and Japanese ETF’s, big Pharma and dabbled in Crypto when it was a fledgling! ( Crypto not in my SIPP)

“Specialist Loser” …well ok if that’s what you want to believe but the last time my wife and I went out for dinner with two friends, (last weekend, admittedly in London) we spent £600, split equally between the four of us!…if that makes me a loser… well bring it on, I will take it! 👍

Bagging?…yes but I feel like I can…I have done really well 👍

Dog farter, it’s true I lost a fair bit with this dog of a share!…you cannot win them all.… but so long as you win some eh?…🤪

35% of feck all is …feck all !!!…but stick your chest out and be proud of your life changing investment achievements!! … 😁

Dog farter, you have told us you are something special, a really sophisticated investor!

You also told us you had invested £2000 so your 20% profit is £400 less dealing charges maybe?

I think we are all in awe of your success and we are probably green with envy and wondering how you are going to spend it!

Today’s news has elevated AST to a market cap of £6.68 million and with all those shares out there you are probably going to bring your undoubted expertise into play and “go for the big one” as you have indicated!

You don’t need me to wish you luck!…it seems you have it nailed.

I look forward to hearing about your seemingly guaranteed success ……go for it you god like investor! 🤣🤣🤣

My “opinion” on my last was “strong buy” which was a mistake! 😳

I remember it well Alwaysup!

The shame of it was they had submitted an EIA some years earlier, it only needed a revision but for some inexplicable reason AST refused to submit one and that was sheer arrogance on AST’s part.

It was sometime after this that the Slovenian Government changed the rules on fracking or stimulation, as some would call it and we missed the opportunity.

I wonder if some of these aspects are lost in the mist of time and all will out if it gets to court because then AST will be well and truly fracked!,

Dog farted, you do realise the RNS is telling you that Parsons has magicked up nearly 43 million shares to hand over 20% of the company to the mysterious Ibrahim Diab.

I have not spent much time on this but a quick look shows that MBD Partners SA had revenue of 163,000 Euros in 2022 and is registered somewhere in Europe. Solid stuff there to support your gamble.

Looks and smells like the South African lot that Parsons told us were going to invest but which fell through a short while ago!

The news caused a fractional rise probably initiated by PI’s, certainly not institutional Investors but I am sure it will subside when the reality of a further dilution of this worthless company is recognised by those PI’s.

As you are an experienced, wise and prudent investor, you will know how easy it is to check the Institutional investors holding AST stock. 😜

Moon, where’s a credible alternative to Rishi Sunak?

Kier Starner always looks like a rabbit caught in headlights and he is no match for Sunak. He gets mauled every Wednesday at PMQ’s.

The unions and the left wing in the Labour Party are waiting quietly to push the party back to a spend, spend, spend creating another bankrupt country like they did last time they were in power. Lib Dem’s?… a waste of a vote!

Pensioners, who are the demographic most likely to vote are going to vote for the party that is clear about keeping the triple lock regardless of historic loyalties. Wages are going up and inflation, while stubborn, is coming down!

Come the election, it may be a case of “better the devil you know…”

It’s not a done deal yet is all I am saying! 😁

Dog, you are lashing out like a loser!

You are focussed on a single hope which makes it clear to me that you have not undertaken any due diligence with this share.

Anyone who takes a different view to you is insulted which makes you a cowardly individual protected by the anonymity of this BB.

I will pop in here occasionally to see how you are getting on. You are a newbie to this board and I suspect that your naivety is due to being a novice investor who is reluctant to admit that he might have made a mistake! ….only time will tell and you will need a lot of it!!!

Dog, I sold at a significant loss…I cannot see this share in the same light as you so will never get back in.

It was an expensive lesson for me, I should have bailed out on instinct when I attended the first shareholder meeting after parsons took over but the gambler in me robbed me of sense.

I suspect that not many of the attendees at that meeting are still holding. Like you, I was an enthusiastic and hopeful investor but eventually realised that I needed to cut and run and fortunately and luckily have found other opportunities.

Non existent opportunities touted by Parsons include the failed Cuban foray and current inactivity in Latin America should be warning signs for you. Relying on litigation being successful in Slovenia is a long shot that will not be resolved for many years, perhaps even decades.

Good Luck with your guesswork!

Note the 20% increase in employee costs. It seems the board have awarded themselves well for nothing. The only identifiable employees are the board!!

Also note the auditors comment which is the same as the last report.

“ Based on historical and recent support from new and existing investors the Board believes that such funding, if and when required, could be obtained through new debt or equity issuances. However, there can be no guarantee over the outcome of these options and as a consequence there is a material uncertainty of the Group's ability to raise the necessary finance, which may cast doubt on the Group's ability to operate as a going concern. Further, the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.”

I was not aware Dog, as I no longer follow the progress of AST as I am no longer invested.

I occasionally look at the BB with a casual interest as my wife holds a few shares here.

I have a view that the Slovenian government will never settle and I noted in the link you posted that the Slovenian decision was made at their Parliament and after no debate there was a 100% in favour of the withdrawal.

I wish all invested here the best of luck but believe that in the Casino of AIM this is a bet for the house, punters won’t have enough for a bag of chips on the way home!

Slovenia backing down?…Good Luck with that Dog!

Enyo Law the next to get shafted!

AB, what a know it all you are!… You actually believe you are superior in every way to other contributors here!…Telling us that a year ago you knew better!

You are full of bluff and bluster! What a complete tossa!

You really believe that you can tell investors how to interpret news or lack of it!!

I can only believe that you are a millionaire many times over because you are such a knowledgeable investor… yawn!!!

I’m thinking Keith Green would not be retiring if there was any good news imminent.

He was appointed as Finance Director in February 2021 so would have a sense of ownership within the Leadership Team…..unless there is some reason other than natural retirement age (??/??/????) for him leaving now.

Sath’s appointment is with immediate effect!!

Does 2+2=5 ?

Hmmm! 🤣🤣
