AIM is a cesspit
All these rampers that come in cycles
Colin Bird’s AIM record (as of July 23):
Time he became CEO of BZT- SP 0.5….now 0.04 >90% fall
Time he became CEO of XTR- SP 10...now 1.5 >85% fall
Time he became CEO of Galileo 7.38...now 1 >80% fall
Yes but thats getting harder and harder for him to do- everyone here is wise to his tactics now.
Which is why I think he joined twitter
It has always been the same pattern in his businesses.
Summer is Europe/horse races - winter is when what little progress there is, gets done.
For a man close to 80, running 5 AIM 'businesses', its no wonder his businesses have such terrible records
Im sorry but you would have to be an idiot not to question that investors group.
Always know the movements of CB, always along the lines of 'Colin understands your frustrations but he is doing as well as he can'. I mean...its all rather obvious who the 'investors group' is.
Of course CB made money. Each of his AIM 'businesses' pays him a salary.
He indulges in racehorses and takes nice summer holidays in Europe and travels around Africa visiting his 'businesses'
Lucky for some- meanwhile objectively looking at the data:
Time he became CEO of BZT- SP 0.5….now 0.04 >90% fall
Time he became CEO of XTR- SP 10...now 1.8 >80% fall
Time he became CEO of Galileo 7.38...now 1.2 >75% fall
Nope. I mean I cant believe people keep on calling the bottom here.
0.2...that it, this about to blow...now 0.04.
Wonder where Colin Bird will spend his nice summer holiday this year?
Time he became CEO of BZT- SP 0.5….now 0.04 >90% fall
Time he became CEO of XTR- SP 10...now 1.8 >80% fall
Time he became CEO of Galileo 7.38...now 1.2 >75% fall
Why do you think it has hit the bottom? People like the ironically named MrTriumph claimed that 0.2 was the low, then 0.15 etc
Just a reminder of Colin Bird's AIM record
Time he became CEO of BZT- SP 0.5….now 0.04 >90% fall
Time he became CEO of XTR- SP 10...now 1.8 >80% fall
Time he became CEO of Galileo 7.38...now 1.2 >75% fall
You said the same thing at 0.2, at 0.15, at 0.1 etc etc
Colin Birds AIM record:

Time he became CEO of XTR- SP 10...now 1.8 >80% fall
Time he became CEO of Galileo 7.38...now 1.2 >75% fall
I remember when the SP was 0.2 I said this would crash to 0.01.
Its not looking so unrealistic now
Even if we were to 10 bag over the next few months (highly unlikely)
We would still be on a lower SP than when CB took over

Out of his main 3 AIM companies, only 75% down. Thats a great return. You put in £10k when CB took over- you would have £2.5k. Thats amazing. What a genius!

And no, this isnt because of a bear market. Even during the peak of the COVID market bubble his companies were below the SP when he took over.
So we can see that investors have lost ££ putting cash in his companies but does anyone know how much money he makes from his AIM ‘companies’. Ive looked at some company accounts and it seems very opaque how much is spent on salaries. All I know about him is that he lives in UAE {which is tax free) and has a penchant for racehorses.
Up 20%. Way down from when CB took over.
Seems the old ramp-placing-ramp-placing method doesnt build SP

As said before, why does Colin Bird companies seem to run into so many 'problems'?
JVs that fall apart, sales that never happen, targets that are never met?
At best, it is a show of incompetence and poor due diligence. At worst....
BZT is now worth less than 10% of the SP when Colin Bird took over.
So far we have had a JV in Cyprus- got called off after a dispute with the partners
We have exceptional hand held machine assays from Kalengwa (which XTR is also active in) which ended up being bull**** in the lab
We had a JV in Phillipines- which fell apart
We started our first drill in Nambia f(for copper & gold) 2.5 years ago. There is supposed drilling going on but we have had 2 or 3 sets of small assay results in the last 2 years. Colin has indebted the company with a £1 million loan last year which he said was going to be primarily for the Cyprus JV which fell apart. He has done another round of placings last month which has obliterated our SP. We have no idea how we will pay this £1 million loan as we have no cash generating projects in the horizon. No doubt he will issue another round of placings which will take the SP to 0.01 (it was 0.5 when he took over).
When he comes to a a dead end in one project, he just seems to find another one to ramp which needs to be worked up from Level 0..which means more placings and SP destruction and more importantly- which means he continues getting paid and continue whatever lifetstyle he is leading in UAE. You saw the same with XTR, when OZ was running dry, he started ramping Africa
But he can only do the same thing for a certain amount of time. All ramps fall on deaf ears now. He may end up indebting XTR with a similar sort of loan that he pulled on BZT.
Be very careful

This seems very optimistic. If you look at the record of COlin Birds companies
Round after round of ramping falling by placements. One foot forward, one foot back. Target after target missed. Then there is the summer hiatus when CB goes quiet because he spends our money in Europe on a nice long holiday.
ANything that will happen, will happen in winter.

There will be no sale so dont bother spending energy thinking about it
Colin Birds companies go sideways, not forward

We have been here before- his goes quiet in summer while he enjoys spending our money in Europe.
WIll the same thing happen this year? If so, the SP could fall to 0.01

DIrectors subscrpition is a tiny % of the money that CB has squeezed from these companies

Mr T, remember when I said this SP was going under 0.1 and you laughed?
You arent laughing now
Your predictions have been hilarious (for anyone interested- have a look for yourself)
