Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
I will certainly post UNLESS I am forced to become an "insider" which would not be my chosen role but it may itself be a part of being given the type of information I seek.
Right now, when I remember I post my opinion as "STRONG BUY" and IF that changes following any meeting then that will indicate a changed position but I will try to communicate as much as I am able.
Now i must get some fee-earning work done so excuse me folks - cash is calling!!!

To be honest I just don't know exactly where we sit with Brazil right now other than the deal is a heartbeat away from being concluded with just a loose end or two needing to be tied up bwtfdik?
What I can tell you is that AM has been quite open in his dismay at how traders "play" this share and it has been hinted that something out of the blue could take everyone by surprise and that is why the "curved-ball" option is what I believe he will choose insofar as that could initiate a "rolling thunder" of RNS's to include Brazil, newfie, the North Sea and other projects currently being heavily mooted!
By the bye, whilst some people here think the likes of seadog, Wobwat, myself and others just roll over and get our tummies tickled by NUOG I wish you could see some of the correspondence from these guys "explaining" to AM just how his lack of comms plays into the very hands of the traders whom he genuinely dislikes with a passion.
I have almost given up on making predictions about NUOG ................... almost!
But then an interesting email arrives, or I get a 'phone call, and my excitement about possibilities is instantly reignited!

Forget that last nonsense part-sentence as it should have been deleted in my edit but got overlooked!
LT
No BUT, one way or the other, I shall be seeing him very shortly!
i live in Dorset so a visit to Manchester is quite a slog, if it's needed, so I have booked in at the Adelphi, Liverpool for the night of 29th November as I have relations there and it kills 2 birds with one stone.
I know a lot of people will have expected me to "beard" him sooner but I'm leaving the date until the 29th to give him the opportunity of seeing me without "force majeure" being necessary.
As it happens, I don't expect that a "forced entry" will be necessary as the emails I am receiving seem very indicative of something stirring and I don't think it's last night's vindaloo!
LT
I have arranged I shall be seeing him s
Regrettably I don't have the account to do PM - that said I can be contacted on enegisers@hotmail.com.
Good hunting!

chanlfc - what have you heard? Direct question deserving direct answer. LT
Hi Wobwat and all
Lots of catching up with posts after a smashing Tapas evening in Corfe with a couple of bottles of "Rioger" and 3 pints of Doombar - it's only my near 10,000 steps per day walking my pooch, Bertie, that keep me as slim as I am!!
For the avoidance of any doubt, I have backed off from posting on several Twitter groups and even here after the embarrassment(s) of recent weeks when the meeting was pushed back, albeit for perfectly reasonable reasons.
The reaction from some here when that happened made me realise that my large holding gives me a power my posts probably don't deserve so that's why I've curtailed them.
But I can see that even backing-off feeds many of the filtered pond-life - you know who you are 'cos I've told you - who, like politicians, are able to use either side of any story to write their own narrative to sell to an audience eager for news ...... ANY NEWS, even of the nugatory sort!!!!.
So, I can confirm what Wobwat says and that is that, by hook or by crook, I will be seeing Alan Minty next week but hope you will all understand why I am neither going to give time, date nor location for that event.
Suffice to say that BOTH my cars are mechanically sound and in tip-top order to make either the 120 miles to London OR the over 200 to Manchester!
By the bye, I am very fortunate to still be working at my grand old age and really have no need for any extra cash so why would I even think of selling now?
As indicated previously, I might sell a few at 5p but my main game now is that my NUOG holding will be my legacy to my lovely wife and family to hopefully secure their futures for many, many years to come!
I should also say that despite the brickbats I have probably sometimes deservedly earned here there are many NUOG holders that I have not met but "talked" with over these boards whom I know are the type of decent people that I would be very proud to call "chums" in the future.
We can all guess that nothing's going to happen this week but here's hoping for next week eh?
LT
NUOG tweeted this earlier today - wonder whether it will be deleted!!!
"Nu-Oil continue to progress target offshore projects located in Brazil and the North Sea with @MFDevCo, meanwhile we are working with our partners to advance our assets in western Newfoundland. #NUOG"

No idea where he is but my recollection is that he sold out.
Some people have very erroneously mistaken seadog for Into!
LT
Hi
Still lots of "oldies" around but fear that Ted might have trundled down the "wibbly-wobbly" road!
Hope all's well with you and yours - I'm actually looking forward to the next week but that's the kind of guy I am as looking back gives me a pain in the neck ....... literally!
LT
Wobwat
Thanks for that!
I realised last week that I had probably been wrong in flagging up the meeting as it set peoples' hopes at a high level of expectation and played into the hands of traders when it was unavoidably delayed.
Whilst I do communicate with several other long-termers by email and will let them know once the meeting - forced or otherwise - takes place I will say that IF my opinion changes, post that meeting, I will reflect what my stance is by either maintaining my "STRONG BUY" opinion or changing it to reflect my post-meeting opinion given any ensuing change.
Good luck all long-termers!

Why do I detect the hint of suspicion in you post?
You obviously know nothing of me otherwise you would not write as you have.
Firstly, I am a man of my word and WILL be seeing Alan Minty next week - one way or the other - secondly, I have 2 cars ...... 'nuff said?
LT
No Main - circumstances of foreign travel pushed it back.
Am awaiting new date which this time I will not share as I've enough effing egg on my face for a double omelette already!
LT

The car's booked in for its annual service and I've broken out the Damart's just in case we have a cold snap as Mancurian days can be a lot colder than the Dorset Riviera!!!!
On a positive note, I do believe that the message that they should not bloviate has got home!

Methinks yours was a mischievous post as this is what I wrote on 30th October:
"BUT this time I have drawn my own line in the sand and can tell anyone that cares to listen that IF no news is forthcoming by the end of week commencing 12th November I intend to drive to Manchester to beard our esteemed Mr Minty in his very lair."
I know we NUOG'ers tend to wish our lives away but you're getting a bit ahead of yourself aren't you?
LT - wishing Ivor a speedy recovery!!!
WOBWAT
I apologise for the possible part I had in making your apology necessary as I fear that my prediction for news this week played big-time in the false build-up but is now certainly dead in the water.
This certainly plays into the hands of naysayers and I shall definitely be more careful with what I type in future but illustrates that I only ever write from the position of not being an “insider” and therefore pick my information from a convergence of tidbits that comes from several sources which look to be out by at least a week on this occasion!
I have made known my own feelings of disappointment to the Company and I am happy, a) that they replied very, very speedily and b) the content of the reply which, as I am NOT an insider, they could not go into detail with but which was quite indicative of the positivity that exists within NUOG itself.
Obviously I wish that positivity could be communicated to us shareholders BUT I further realise the delicacy of relevant positions at this juncture whereby it would be absolutely unforgivable for the Company to be loose or previous in the use of words, a scenario that everyone realises could jeopardise the deal(s) being tied up as we speak.
Bought more earlier this week and am very happy to be the largest single private investor in NUOG with over 73 million shares.
Have a good ‘un all!!
LT
irish - good to hear from you and chuffed that you had a great Indian!
I know you're out of Aminex but hope your other investments are good.
Waiting for NUOG is rather like waiting for Godot - a play that I found absolutely mind-bogglingly boring!
Still, there's always another "Groundnuog day"!

One single word for you to look at in that post, "slated" as in this dictionary definition:
"to be expected to happen in the future or to be expected to be or do something in the future:"
