Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Good old Mush, ever the optimist. You've stepped in with a few wise words over the last year or so. Remembering your position regarding the new life in Portugal, I am sure you are as affected as any. So chins up together.

Sorry Redirons, but I am certainly not trying to locate others who will join in on my negativity. I was merely expressing my deep concern at the position we are in. All of the conflicting explanations and reassurances have simply proved completely useless for the last couple of months. It is not a crime to be worried and express your worries. And as I have said, I am very worried.

Thanks Sojourner, a nice reassurance. Hope it won't be just another one of many.
I wish I had the power to not look for a few weeks. But, imagine doing that and finding the price down at 10p!
I certainly have read every encouraging article, announcement and comment for years and have stayed committed, but this situation now feels very different and uncomfortable.

I wish I had c*cked up a dummy sell 2 months ago. I would be a few hundred thousand to the good now. Would I buy back in? Probably not, there is something wrong here which no one here knows about. Really, really worried by all this. All the reassurances since about 32p are looking very unconvincing now.

Thanks all for your encouraging and honest replies. Such reassurances are really welcome and I can sleep a little easier now. Sorry that some of you thought it was a bragging thread. Nothing further from my mind.

Thanks MfU. I started this thread for exactly the reasons you have just stated. It is very encouraging to me when the people who have been round this share a long time have remained confident and committed. It certainly isn't a bragging contest, far from it. Most here are well above that. It's friendly reassurance and comradery. Indeed, Bamps and Paddy have doubly reinforced things with their latest calcs.

I have dug out the spreadsheet from last year of individual's shareholdings. wass it Jerry or Hydro or someone else who organised it? I can't remember. But if we ignore Beetham where are we all now?
Jerryspaniel was way out front with 30m shares. He still posts but not that often. Are you still all in Jerry?
Hydro's mate was next with 22m. Of course we still see Hydro, but not sure what the position is now.
Coach777 and all his kith and kin was on 19.25m. Haven't reall heard from too much lately.
Dimvestor had 18.86m, again he doesn't pop up too often
Good old TomE had 16m. Tom is still active and has told us he holds 11m on free and has ordered an Aston. Good on you Tom.
John678 and family had 13.5m. He told us only the other day he held 12+ so he'ds holding in there.
Paddy, Lostinspace69 and Spratt1982 all had 13m. We know Paddy is sitting on his, Lostin I haven't seen for ages so not sure whether he is still confident and Spratt still posts but I'm not sure of his position.
Ramos and OzAu were in the 10s. Not sure about them.
Just killing time and trying not to dwell on the huge paper drops we have experienced.
Also, looking for reassurance from large holders that they are still holding.

I think we might be getting a little ahead of ourselves here Speedy. But then again, there's nothing like positive thinking. And thanks to you I now have quite a selection of Brits and Sovs in my sock drawer.
