I happen to think that the gold chart continues to look like a pull back is due. Same for silver, for that matter.

But I cannot see the bear case against higher PM prices in the medium term at least, so £20 at some point is certainly not a dream, IMO.

Whether FRES can break to new ATH's...too early to say, IMO.

I do not remember seeing you calling this a long when it was 5 quid, lse. I must have missed that post :)

I used AI to give me an idea of the potential value range of said drone contracts.

Having no clue about it generally, so not suggesting it is an accurate description, for this reason as much as any other.

But for the sake of this discussion, lets assume it is at least fairly reliable.

Even an initial contract at the lower end of said range, would IMO offer that proof of concept, that would be the first step towards something transformational perhaps.

But first thing is first...and lets have the first! GLA.

The question is, will anyone be able to sell their gold, outside of a black market, in future?

On the assumption (hopefully wrong!) that a digital currency system is brought in, with every transaction put on a block chain. And of course before too long, restrictions on purchasing options for a range of reasons, for most people.

Which I suspect (but will probably never know for sure) will have a back door for the real money, so they will not be entirely locked in themselves, unlike the masses...and probably tradesmen. Who no doubt will always find a solution. Should have become one myself, lol.

Based on the impressions this BOD has given me, that will be the time I take the loss and put this one in the bin.

After it finally comes out of auction.

But that is now the expectation, so lets see if they can provide a pleasant surprise. Happy to eat humble pie if they do so.

The goal is only ever to make money when it comes to the stock market stuff :)

Indeed. Had the SP been sitting at elevated heights, relative to the past three months or so, then I would agree that if you were already on the sidelines, waiting for the update would probably have been a wiser decision to take.

But near the ATL's, lower risk IMO.

None of which is to suggest or to advocate anyone to buy or sell.

My own position is clear, but hopefully I have demonstrated a genuine appetite for balance and sincerity in my posts - open to both bullish and bearish ideas and potential SP scenarios.

See where we are come the next update. GLA.

I think that is a very good update, given the macro circumstances.

Another BB too, which should help.

Well done to those who held into results and made some good profits; I was of a similar opinion to a few, who expected a return to the 80's on that update (and was planning on buying back in with a few had it happened).

But looks like I have missed the boat for now. You win some and you lose some, but I like this one more generally, so will keep it on my radar. GLA.

Feels more like 28 days later here, lol.

What a dreadful nano cap this one has been so far. The extreme risk is part and parcel of what you accept when you take a punt in this type, but the lack of any PR or seeking momentum for the SP, given the above is probably a first for me.

With expectations at or around zero now for me, I am morbidly fascinated to see what they release when they can no longer hold off doing so.

One or two posters here still seem to be confident. As I said before, I will be delighted if proven wrong. It does happen fairly often...

Same here. IMO they would not be increasing the headcount in this fashion if they were simply a lifestyle or scam operation.

Because they are going to need to show some material progress by the time they need to raise further cash, in order to be able to get that away, IMO.

I too am tempted to add, but like you, just want to see a proof of concept first. Happy to pay more if needed at that point.

Ultimately, I remain cautiously bullish, or would not be a holder already.

I mainly want this to turn out to be a successful company to annoy Roger :)

Not sure if a policy that feels similar to what the Bank of Japan has done with their markets is a good thing, to be honest.

But that seems to be the direction of travel right now.

And national golden share ownership for certain outfits deemed essential is also not unique in Europe either, so I guess it is only a continuation in some ways.

I reckon our current lot would probably just give any stake away to the Chagos Islands, if they asked for it. Just joking of course. I know they have the best interests of our country at heart :)

Anyway, more likely IMO - and only if things go as well as we can hope, over at least a medium term time frame - we might become a bid target for a BAE or BAB perhaps. We can dream anyway :) GLA.

Outside of trading hours, and as you were replying to me, I therefore hope the others here do not mind my additional off topic post.

Neither am I, Nettles. I am broadly tolerant, and willing to accept the beliefs of others...as long as it does not impact on me, such as my ability to challenge or to be critical if I so wish. Nor pay a non-believer tax and the like. Nor have to meekly accept anything scientifically inaccurate etc.

I would say the types to which you refer, are not something to be remotely concerned about. We had the enlightenment.

Agree about the hotels. Hopefully a list will be put together and published at some point, so future customers can vote with their feet. Assuming the government does not simply buy them all up to provide longer term accommodation for these unwelcome guests.

My understanding is there are more regulatory obligations, but also I presume more cachet and more international (and bigger) II interest in FTSE100 entities versus 250 etc. Some can only invest in the 100 (but some can only invest sub 100 of course).

Nothing to concern a PI, IMO, as long as you are confident in the underlying business etc.

Certainly in my experience, where I have holdings that have flitted up and down in the 'rankings'.

Yeah. The stagflation prospects have increased significantly IMO.

Hopefully not, but when you consider the cold, hard facts, of ongoing European, and seemingly imminent US rate cuts commencing, in spite of above 2% inflation, then I am struggling to find the potential arguments against this prospect. Hey ho.

Just taking some profit IMO. Might be planning on clearing out entirely, IDK.

But I stand by my earlier comment. And ultimately, I think this one still has a lot more road to run.

Time, as always will tell and just my thoughts. GLA.

Great volume today, with price action IMO that suggests this is not just retail PI's buying in here.

I think that day will come, and if it does, that will probably be the trigger for significant daily rises.

Anyway, see what the next few weeks bring. GLA.

From memory, that is around the bottom of the downward channel.

Is it any different to when they, in the past, introduced option awards with strike prices materially higher than the SP at the time (going back a few years, and from memory)?

None of which I think hit, and thus expired worthless.

Maybe this time will be different, but just putting that into the mix.

'No representation without taxation'...would make an interesting slogan, lol. Not entirely dissimilar to how things were in the 19th Century. So you would have a precedent to cite, of sorts :)

Final de-rail from me, although I have enjoyed the off-topic dialogue with some of you here the last couple of days: The news is reporting plans to fast track asylum claims.

Anyone remember when Gordon Brown (I think it was) did something similar to clear the backlog, back when he was PM?

Sounds like a blanket rubber stamp green light is coming out shortly IMO.

I just hope they at least do a UK and interpol database check on all of those they plan to waive through.

Not that this alone will prevent further problems for the UK in the coming years as a consequence of this political game, from the crime and financial burden that will inevitably result from *some* of these new additions, plus the moral hazard aspect, which this will simply amplify. Meaning it will not work and the backlog will be back again PDQ.

To be clear: If I am wrong about how they plan to go about this 'fast track', I will be absolutely delighted. And it is just a thought, not saying it is a fact etc. GLA.

The chart looks great (as much as you can trust TA with tiddler stocks, as I have cautioned before).

Needs to test the June high and then see what happens from there.

But that is short term stuff, and most here are IMO looking a good deal higher than that before taking a view on slicing/closing out profits.

I am anyway, but not advice to follow suit etc. GLA.

The main issue on that topic is the fact that 'far right' gets thrown about for anyone who appears to be even mildly resistant to the policy of what is essentially de facto open borders, with no checks or verification processes, leading to the inevitable results on too many occasions.

I can only imagine what the founding fathers of the original Geneva Convention draft legislation would have made of the west today. But I would suggest they would be horrified at the abuse and misuse of what IMO was material initially penned with the best of intentions.

And the way so many things have been badly handled over the past 20 years or so. Cover ups, gas lighting etc. No wonder trust is broken. Along with the social contract.

But we are where we are and the cards will fall as they will.

We can only do what we can within our control and play our own cards to the best of our abilities as the macro stuff does what it will.

Maybe Argentina, in answer to your question, although I only know a bit from what I have read, rather than any deep dive or boots on the ground, so big caveat on that example.

But I would expect it is a significant improvement, compared to what they have endured in the past few decades under socialism. And I understand that the younger voters had a big role in this outcome.

Hopefully Germany, France and the UK can follow suit, before it is too late for a reversal in our respective fortunes.
