It's true.
Just for you Linton- A Story about Bitcoin and Monkeys.
A lot of monkeys lived near a village.
One day a merchant came to the village to buy the monkeys.
He announced that he would buy the monkeys for £100 each.
The villagers thought he was mad.
They thought how can somebody buy stray monkeys for £100 each?
Still, some people caught a few monkeys and gave them to the merchant and he gave them £100 for each monkey.
This news spread like wildfire and more people caught more monkeys to sell to the merchant.
After a few days, the merchant announced that he would buy monkeys for £200 each.
Even the lazy villagers now ran around to catch the remaining monkeys and sold them for £200 each.
Then the merchant announced that he will buy monkeys for £500 each.
The villagers started to lose sleep! They caught six or seven monkeys, which was all that was left, and got £500 for each one.
The villagers were waiting anxiously for the next announcement.
Then the merchant said he was going home for a week and when he returned he would buy monkeys for £1,000 each.
He asked his employee to take care of the monkeys he bought.
The merchant went home and the villagers were very sad as there were no more monkeys left for them to sell at £1,000 each.
Then the employee told them he will secretly sell them monkeys for £700 each.
This news spread like wildfire. Since the merchant will buy monkeys for £1,000 each, there is a £300 profit for each monkey.
The next day the villagers made a queue near the monkey cage.
The employee sold all the monkeys for £700 each. The rich bought monkeys in big lots. The poor borrowed money from money lenders and also bought monkeys.
The villagers took care of the monkeys and waited for the merchant to return.
But nobody came.
They ran to the employee.
But he had already left too.
The villagers then realised that they had bought the useless stray monkeys for £700 each and were unable to sell them.
You can't be right on that Surreyman. Have a look at https://www.theaic.co.uk/aic/analyse-investment-companies
I was hoping that 2021 would have started without any sniping and brattish behaviour on the boards.
9 hours in to it and ......
12p
He or she can have my shed full for 12p each.
Keep smiling minimil,
It can only get better.
Stay frosty.
CarsCoffee,
I have stopped trying to second guess this outfits moves regarding finance.
I am not sophisticated enough to understand it.

It has been stated via RNS that potter is running a "tight hole" which means no results until full completion.
Tight Hole, you can get something from your local pharmacy if you have an anatomical complaint.
Hey,
You forgot to tell us who won the flipping Raffle.
Have a good New Year my old pal.
Thebhoys,
Holding too many of these is not something I would ever brag about. Too much topping up or averaging down many years back got me in to this position. I,ve never given up hope of finding the oil in Fold B but the dilution over 12 years has been torturous.
I'll put aside any insults you have thrown at me recently and in these festive times I'll dust off by Fender Blues boogaloo harmonica and if you join me with your whistle we might put some life in to this sp.
Stay frosty.
Thebhoys,
Let's have some positivity then. How about a motivational speech from you eh?
Even a bit of a song, but please don't sing the blues....
I'll get my harmonica warmed up.
You are not alone with that Sirius massacre!
I expected a bit more of a fanfare from this share price today and the volume has been pathetic. What's the problem?
Threat of yet more dilution?
Threat from the Save this and that brigade?
Oil not the "in thing" anymore?
I'm still watching this space, the phone works and I have renamed my dog Dead Cert.
Semper Fidelis
Egggg,
It's not all about you!
It's reassuring to read you have realised that we have a few billion shares to "give away" not a secret now, eh?
Stay frosty.
Who won The Raffle?
Shush.
My error.
It was Purvis.
