Chris Heminway, Exec-Chair at Time To ACT, explains why now is the right time for the Group to IPO. Watch the video here.
Colin has been really silent, I read some rumours on twitter last month. Have a search for yourselves. At least 2 investors have made complaints to FCA/AIM. I have been pushing people to make complaints about CB for months now. Though of course, due to confidentiality- they cant say if they are finally investigating him or not.
Lack of news across the board on all his cashcows, sorry, I meant 'businesses'.
In this market- the market reaction to ramping is really dampened. His Sunday Roast salesman ramps are like water off a ducks back now.
The market is looking at the debacle of BZT-Caerus in Cyrpus for example- and its one of many red flags against how Colin Bird does businesses. BZT has taken out a £1 million loan- due for repayment in some months with no realistic source of income in the horizon after Caerus collapsed. People are weary and wary of the way he does business. He did it in BZT, and can do the same here in XTR. Totally unreliable.
I suspect he is going to come out with a massive ramp and then issue another round of placement. But as I said, we are in different times- i dont even think the biggest of CB ramps would get the SP here above 4 or 5. This is not 2020.
Again, dont take my word for it- the numbers dont lie:
Colin Bird’s AIM record, as of November 22
Time he became CEO of BZT- SP 0.5….now 0.08
Time he became CEO of XTR- SP 10...now 3.1
Time he became CEO of Galileo 7.38...now 1.4
Low SP because of the general market and lack of real news and also it is a Colin Bird company. I think there are many people who hadnt heard of the Birdman prior to 2020 but a lot more are now- and they are rightfully wary. Once bitten...

There has been quiet across ALL of Colin Birds nest of cashcow 'businesses'. There is a couple of rumours on twitter about his financial situation- have a search on twitter.
Dont forget- none of his AIM businesses every really progress- the only guaranteed thing that happens is he dips his hand into each company every year to pay a salary (for what work- i do not know).
The same concerns being made today about CB today, were made by others in 2020, 2019, 2018. Dont take my word for it- have a look back in LSE.
Ramp--->placing--->pay for salary to maintain UAE expat lifetyle and horseracing hobby--->SP crashes again due to dilution and non-progress--->new Sunday Roast interview or supposed acquisition ramp--->rinse and repeat.
And thats not just a 'belief' I have- the numbers dont lie:

Colin is in real trouble
Lack of news across the board on all his cashcows, sorry, I meant 'businesses'.
In this market- the market reaction to ramping is really dampened. His Sunday Roast salesman ramps are like water off a ducks back now.
1) He has already came up with dodgy assays which proved to be **** (as I quite rightly called)- so that option is closed as well.
2) 'Drill ready' Kanye will take ages to prove up- and we dont have the funds. A drill was supposed to be 'mobilised' but we have heard to further news. Anyone else find it odd that Colin Bird uses this 'mobilised' term- its meant to be delibaretly vague as mobilisation does not tell you anything about when actual drilling commences.
3) Hope Gorob- a toddler and a plastic spade could have done the drilling faster. 26 months and no sign of a JORC resource in site- yet he has reached out for a mining license to try and show progress- which is a highly irregular sequence. It is off my belief that there is no drilling going on in HG.
4) Mankayan- another day- another ramp- same **** in a different plate- as has been for years.
5) Cyprus- dead in the water
Every day we get closer to start paying back the dubious loan he took (NB_ part of that loan went towards his salary and by extension- his luxury UAE and racehorsing lifestyle).
So who wants to place bets on what Colin Birds next ramp will be?
Maybe another acquisition that he can try and flog and ramp with? Anything to keep the next few years of his life as it is.
Totally- he is totally a broken record- the same tricks he has been playing on AIM for years- failure--->counter-ramp--->placing to pay for UAE expat lifestyle---> rinse and repeat.
and the numbers dont lie

Colin is too busy figuring out where is next ramp can come from and how to pay for his next racing horses.
He is too busy figuring out how to continue this game and see out the last few years of his life in luxury. AIM has served him so far so good.
Bzt, like all of CB companies- have a crazy share numbers in respect to mcap
this is caused by
1) lack of progression in projects
2) lack of cash generation
3) continued rounds of placings to fund Colin Birds expat life in UAE
LMAO Mr T.
0.35...its going to blow, wait for Mankayan
0.3..just wait for these Hope assays
0.2..just wait for Cyprus
There is optimism and there is just being a joker
I've said before- be very suspicous about the true identities of the CB sycophants on LSE- do you REALLY believe anyone is that naive? Especially since they always seem to know where he is. I think you know what i am saying...
The numbers dont lie:
#Colin Bird’s AIM record, as of November 22:
Time he became CEO of BZT- SP 0.5….now 0.06
Time he became CEO of XTR- SP 10...now 3.1
Time he became CEO of Galileo 7.38...now 1.4
£XXXXXXX paid out in salaries to Colin Bird from these companies during the times
This is not just BZT btw, it has been his modus operandi for all his other companies.
Shifting from feet to feet, swerving, shuffling and feints- its how he makes money. Nothing actually moves forward.
And of course the ramptastic Sunday Roast interviews where his voice is dripping with the authenticity of a used car salesman with a cowboy hat.
HG- 1st hole drilled 26 months ago. Nowhere near a JORC resource- yet he has applied for a mining license
1st drill results from HG come out a few months after, and they are pretty uninspiring. Colin then does a sideway step and buys a manganese company- (which he was already a director off). He says it has 'drill ready' sites. This was almost 2 years ago- no drilling has been done yet- though we were told a drill would be mobilised this month. 2 years! You cant use COVID as an excuse.
Mankayan falls apart- as I correctly predict.
Out of nowhere, with the stock slowly tanking, CB comes out with these exceptional copper assays from Kalengwa. At the same time- you started to have several posters who similarly came out of nowhere- and ramped the stock HARD. I smelled a rat and I questioned the veracity of the handheld results. The SP doubles- and then those posters disappear without a trace.
A few months later- my prediction was confirmed- the exceptional handheld assays were a pile of ****- the lab assays were nowhere near. Who was behind those mysterious posters who came and ramped the stock? Your guess is as good as mine.
Then he makes yet another CB swerve- and ends up in Cyprus. Makes some rampy interviews and bold assertations. Im suspicious but cautiously optimistic- could CB finally carry a project through? Even this- ends up falling apart.
So in 2 years- really nothing has happened- just money get spent, placings dilute the shares, PIs lose money- the only certainty is Colin Bird with the salary he extracts each year- which of course funds his expat lifestyle in UAE.
Look up Share Prophets- on 2nd October he made a podcast explaining why he believes CB should finally be kicked off AIM.
He has written to the AIM regulator.
If anyone else feels he should be kicked off AIM - please email the regulator! The more people who do, the better.
How long can he keep this up?
Its served him well so far. He has been on AIM for 8 years or so- just collecting a salary from each of his network of supposed 'businesses'. But guess someone has to pay for his expat lifestyle?

Im glad there was no money spent. I had to read it a few times.
You see how Colin Bird likes to keep Mankayan in his back pocket as a ramping tool?
