OSF. Adding bits into articles is Onassis's speciality.

Aside from that, absolutely brilliant week and happy for everyone who held their nerve when we were on the slide. I'll not lie, I was getting a bit twitchy but onwards and upwards now.

Mr Wolfe.

I hold EUA and wish I'd sold at 40p, would probably have bought back in though, especially about now but hindsight is wonderful. So I ain't ramptastic by any stretch, but am here to the end whatever that might be.

Anyway; whilst I feel that BOB might be a bit too unquestioning for my taste, the irony of you accusing them of being on a late, presumably what you consider to be, 'ramp shift' has given me a chuckle.

What are you doing here if it's not a late shift? Looking back on the posts, you've been here all day and evening; why bother?

PP. I read that and wondered how your reasonable and polite question had been construed as having negative tones.

Hit the nail on the head Chanser. The market simply doesn't believe the BOD; and why would it?

Lancerman: Thank you for answering that one. (thumbs up emoji)

They told us they were asset driven but last RNS indicates strategic. "Strategic Options", in fact they referred to said strategic options that they'd referred to in the previous RNSs but I don't recall any mention of such options. I recall "credible proposal". I'd like that term to be mentioned each time tbh.

If they can't update in an RNS it means jack s.

Tweeting and all that carp, such as getting the NOMAD to drop a hint, means frak all to the market. In fact it's convincing it there is no concrete news so the share price can be played like a fiddle.

Judge. HSBC managed to launder drug cartel money; so, whilst I doubt UBS would benefit from being involved in a scam with EUA, blind faith in the integrity of big banks is unwise.

I'm a heart of the sleeve type of guy who will whinge if things are going badly and be happy if they aren't. Not exactly the half full type as GFD knows but will be loyal without turning a blind eye to stuff that's annoying. I'm holding here til the proverbial gender neutral person sings.

And whilst I have posted a bit of cynicism about the process, and won't apologise for being healthily objective, I've also got a sneaky feeling that the last RNS could be as the title of the thread suggests; reel em in and then 'pow'. It would be just desserts to any shorters out there.

Amers. Absolutely. I'd like to know both.

Lancerman. You've been a turncoat sufficiently enough to not have much credibility.

Spoon Key. I'd be happier knowing exactly who chucked that cash in TBH.

Personally in one over one year from investing there's been no increase in shareholder value. Same share price and no dividend.

I'm starting to feel that the BOD is sailing close to the wind with rules; a rather spurious reason for suspension (granted strategically brilliant), then an announcement of an FSP which also allowed for minimal information being shared, and now a dividend carrot being dangled.

To me, it feels like any which way to keep the share price propped up while placings happen and big boys increase their positions for the "long game".

I didn't invest for the very short term but did feel the BOD's announcement of an FSP factually presented that there was interest in the metals the company has to facilitate the green revolution which meant I never felt I'd be here for more than 18 months.

Jmuscat et al. Why has the narrative shifted from interested potential buyers hence the FSP, to non binding offers, to credible proposal and now to "long game"?

GFD. Go for him or her on another thread, there's enough about. Whilst I'm not always glass half full here and perhaps got a little bit impatient with the RNS date game, I continue to hold here and will continue. I've been reading this BB long enough to know that kind words to Ian don't need deleting which I suspect might be Isomer's motive to get some of their previous stuff to become more noticeable.

Ian,

Great news, obviously on the basis that it's not what your natural concern would be. Don't envy what it is but it sounds 'sortable', thank goodness.

I'm no medical person by any extent but Mrs Clanger's reading on the old 'C' has revealed the extent to when it's misdiagnosed.

Obviously with your experience it's natural to fear the worst and thank goodness your medical team has said it's not. Ian, you will have probably read the following and more: Infections and, believe it not parasites, are sometimes a cause of misdiagnosis of cancer; the former being something which can show up on scans in much the same way. They do a similar thing in terms of the surrounding area but are massively more controllable. (Again, I'm at absolute pains to say I'm no doc, everyone should get anything checked out because an unchecked infection could send you off more quickly than old 'C' without treatment).

Anyway; Ian, tha seems like a tough cookie. Knock that for six like you've done with previous Courtney Walsh like health deliveries.

All the best to the genuine compere of this BB. You never forget anyone or what might be happening in their lives. Doesn't go unnoticed. X

I seem to recall this time last year and beyond when anybody who dare suggest a 6 month time line until sale got "green binned", "green boxed" and "green coffined". I'm assuming those folks from that era have been 'de-greened' as they weren't wrong?

Ian. Can I have guess please? I know I've had a couple already but as you can't lose in this game then what the heck. Starting from and including tomorrow, I'll guess every day for the next two years.

Or alternatively, could I suggest a new rule? Perhaps when someone is wrong; they have lost and aren't allowed to play anymore. That would concentrate a few minds for the Jam Tomorrow Game. ;-)

Fair point JT. Cheers for replying.

JT... I'm just considering who was vociferous and, some might say, manic in their support of the company over the weekend; are you wondering if it's possible we'll see a dramatic, Anakin Skywalker like, light side to dark side change in certain posters? Like we have seen so often on here. But their first job was to clear the decks, so to speak?
