Listen to our latest Investing Matters Podcast episode 'Uncovering opportunities with investment trusts' with The AIC's Richard Stone here.
That's the spirit Baz! There wasn't a single buy throughout the month of March, but we're up to £192.05 worth of buys this month, so astonishing success surely beckons!
Can't be much cash left now. On the plus side, the CEO has seemingly been self-isolating for about a year, so should be well placed to handle the crisis...
Lol, what news are you expecting? That someone is going to take this pup over in an RTO, right in the middle of a global pandemic?
Fortunately yes...
Indeed, very 'simple'. Unless the cash runs out first of course. Then it's bust and your money is gone.
Don't pretend it's a straightforward 'buy and hold until we're all rich' situation. It's a gamble, made with virtually no insight or information, nothing more.
Well except for our pal Baz, who seems to be doing the 'I've spoken to the CEO and it's almost signed' routine on Twitter. Those with long memories will remember others doing the same thing about the various other projects here, all of which led to nothing.
Of course, given the rules/laws on 'posting information that is false or misleading', it could be argued that he's walking a very fine line if he's not being entirely truthful with his claims...
Yes, that seems likely to be the case. If 'Investor2019' wants to spend his money gambling that this almost-worthless shell company will be taken over by someone else before it goes under, then that's absolutely his own business.
Let's not have a load of empty ramping to justify that punt though eh?
Well that sounds exciting. We could go for a celebratory trip on the Jakarta wheel... ah, I mean the New York Wh... oh, erm maybe the Dallas Wh...
Tickets to Star Sanctum?
Oh never mind.
"Looks like 9m in total, fair punt or someone in the know"
My money's on 'someone trying to get a ramp going'.
"RTO ready to go soon."
Needless to say there is no evidence at all that this is the case.
Challenger, the viable company which invests in giant observation wheel projects, is finished. What remains is a shell company which is now engaged in a race against time to find a partner for an RTO before the cash runs out. To me it's basically like flipping a coin at this point, as to which outcome is more likely.
Oh dear, it seems Baz has opted to go down the Suhail route and pretend to filter everyone. Truth hurts eh?
That's exactly what people said about the Jakarta wheel project, the New York wheel project, the Dallas wheel project and StarSanctum. Guess what happened to those? All the same CEO.
I'll take action over empty platitudes if that's alright Baz. The BOD has delivered absolutely nothing of any value, throughout the history of this company to date. Investors will need convincing that 'a new chapter' is going to bring anything different.
Bear in mind he spent the prior year or so saying 'we're seeking out a new project or acquisition in the leisure sector'. How did that turn out?
It's worth noting that there has been nothing whatsoever from the company in an RNS stating that they're seeking a RTO. That's simply speculation from people who realise that this company seemingly has no other viable prospects at this point.
In fact, there has been no coherent communication whatsoever from the Board in quite some time. What is the point of this business now? Where is the lost $25,000 from the failed Dallas Wheel investment? It's now almost 3 months overdue. Have they just decided not to pay, knowing that Challenger can't afford to take them to court over it?
He's been a shareholder for years now and has done literally nothing other than destroying value here. A simple, indisputable fact.
"No drivel posted for over an hour. Does that mean he has finally dumped after today's last pump?"
Sounds like you have the measure of this character. He's been doing exactly the same kind of spam-ramping on several other shares recently. Painfully transparent behaviour.
Stop trying to promote other dog shares on this board, there's a good lad.
Oh dear. Dropping like a stone again today. Looks as though Suhail is now trapped in with everyone else... assuming he's still holding of course.
Well we've established that at least one of you has no idea what they're on about. I know who my money's on. Too funny.
