Cobus Loots, CEO of Pan African Resources, on delivering sector-leading returns for shareholders. Watch the video here.
When a company loses over 25% mcap in 6 trading days it becomes more possible to rise 50%, from the new low in 6 months.
So , at 38p a week ago ( 50% on equals 57p).....but, at 29p ATM, plus 14.5, ( the magic 50% again).....up to 43.5p....
A healthy 13.6%.
I am astonished that any head of a company should make such comments.
Even if the rise happened ( we all hope it will) it is looking increasingly reckless to have said it.
You can't kid a kidder.
Personal experience has made me both bitter and cautious.
Falling in love with a share, dreaming of tomorrow, blaming the mm, damning the traders, cursing the shorters.
A summary of my life with PMO ( now Harbour Oil).
Two realities hold true: 1). The company wants to get money ( from sales, shareholders, market, anywhere... that's business and they'll try anything). And 2). The only value a share has is when you sell it. ( Poolbeg may have value but not yet).
Shareholders in Aim often feel they are part of the company, its future etc. I disagree. We are used, we have utility, and are expendable ( especially when things go wrong).
I trust only myself. Even then I have many doubts.
As for chancers..... I'll go along if I can see something in it for me....
Re 50% every 6 months quote.
Of course, can be spun as a hope, an aim for the company.
I cannot imagine any other CEO of any reputable company saying that to the shareholders.
Quite bizarre. Very silly.
We need substance. Not bluster like a UK PM
Loss balanced by SBTX....at last.
I appreciate patience is required. Investment ( v trading) is a long term game.
Regardless, some CEO s are dedicated to an area of expertise.
A few are butterflies looking for nectar anywhere and by any means.
The Poolbeg spin kept us all in until results.
CF, well played.
Mr Friel is a chancer and wide-boy.
He does it well, spins well and has a track record ( jack of all trades....).
I don't trust him. Met many like him in Henry Street/Portobello road.
But I'll go along for the ride if I can benefit.
Peter, Bronx et al...
Thank you for the responses, ideas and details which have reduced my suspicions a little. More than a little.
Healthy suspicion, doses of salt etc are often useful parts of our armour in this game.
kind regards...
Short version of question:
Might we be tied in to poor results in the hope of a freebie?
Question follows .....
Audited results at the start (presumably) of business. Whether you believe in 'buy on rumour, sell on news' or you would normally sell following poor results, if you wish to benefit from the Poolbeg (those two iconic towers in Dublin Bay) shares then holding until the morning of the 18th is necessary.
Question.
Is the timing of the Accounts and of the Record date/time, with distribution after these, a significant measure taken by the company because of anticipated market response to accounts/
Sorry if: 1) too wordy or 2) covered elsewhere by posters with greater understanding of the forthcoming spinoff.
Agreed. Volume, response rate. Very low.
Regardless....I know why I bought.
I wish I had bought sooner.
This is a very interesting bet and I am confident I shall treble my investment within 12 months.
There ya go.
I am very content with my investment and uninterested in hourly/daily/weekly movements.
Kind regards to all decent people.

Exciting months ahead for the patient.
Personally, keeping clear in my mind the specific areas of expertise in each of the companies is an issue.... particularly when my minimal portfolio is pharma heavy ( like another poster in that respect).
I have researched as far as I can, considering the raft of physical and mental problems I enjoy.
Looking forward to CF keeping close to his targets.

Wishful thinking.
I hope so too but wishes, like prayers, are pointless.
Thanks for your advice and information. With reference to US companies in the field two, with little revenue, are valued in
$ billions! Extraordinary. QXTR valued at 2.5 billions may well need to find a target to buy just so it can increase revenues and network. USA is an unusual/crazy place.
Anyway, your supposition may well have legs.
About a million purchased in less than a hour , in blocks of 100k and thereabouts. Not the act of a random pi taking a punt.
Typically pulled back from the 5p area.
Most encouraging.
Hear hear....
Well said.
An almost endless list of scandals, perpetrated under the guise of national emergency.
From Brexit shipping contract ( no vessels), thro unfit for purpose PPE, £39,000,000,000 ( that's billions btw) for world beating track and trace, to nurses pay....and then... without any embarrassment....£6000/day splurged on consultant experience.
This isn't partisan.
But it is a national scandal.
Every bit of good news, which results in a rise, is immediately sold into.
Perhaps holders no longer wish to be!
Or every rise is worth selling for the 2% after spread and costs?
Or it's a deliberate attempt to control the sp? But there are more liquid stocks for this game.
Confused.
