To the following, please accept my sincere thanks; Zoros, SpadesAspade, Dip666 and Tiggerman. Have suffered like many recently, but have always thought there is at least another 2/3 years to go/hold. The recent posts from you guys were, basically, fantastic with their information and timing. Stars. Have a fabulous Christmas and New Year. Looking forward to the time ahead. ALB MIG

My estimate would be 23.30p

TomE and Speedy, many thanks and much appreciated. Always value personal experience and the Britannia's sound a great place to start for their collections to come. All the very best for the future. Kind regards, MIG

Hello Speedy, advice please - I know you've been kind enough to supply details of where to buy physical gold (& silver?) that is trustworthy and would sell and buy at reasonable prices/commission. Had notes but lost them in moving. This would be very small purchases and will include presents for my grandchildren. Many thanks in advance and for your many excellent general posts. Kind regards, MIG

Hi all, just bought another 3,000 (please don't laugh, it's the money I had left to invest!) on Hargreaves Landsdown's site and they have nearly 50m shares traded today. The market in general is down, recently the gold price has also gone down too, and the FT mentioned many of the fund managers have had a good year and don't want to make any "silly bets" to affect their fund's position. This would therefore seem to explain why Greatland has been affected like so many. They are by far my largest holding, and well down currently, but this was always going to be my considered investment for the next 2 to 3 years and I haven't changed my mind on this. So please be strong and continue to be patient. Everything is still in place for a bright future IMHO. GLA, MIG

Barchid and Scharnhorst, many thanks for the information and the laugh. Both much appreciated! Good luck to us all here but especially you guys. Kind regards, MIG

Bravo TMT, Strummer and probably many more on this board. Chess has been a passion of mine for over 50 years. Got to an equivalent of about 2100, once, also around the same time (1982) but a car crash finished my long range thinking. Been around 2000, seemingly no matter how well or badly I played for most of the later years but age may be creeping up. I've always enjoyed it too. Been investing too for longer than that, not loads as couldn't afford to lose. Totally understand when people, like on here, have important reasons to sell, especially for family. My investments are bigger now (not compared to many on here) but I've had and will continue to enjoy the ride with GGP hopefully for years to come. Have only bought, was tempted to sell some in the 30's but have always had the belief this is the best share I've ever come across, so didn't and do not regret it at all. Still think my journey here will be at least for 2/3 more years and will be great for my family. So to GGPers and Chess players all, good luck and may they both make you smile! A lot! MIG

Hi guys, my wife and I both bought a few shares today, 3,000 and 3,500 but they came up as "Unknown" and "Sell". While I know there has to be a buy and sell transaction (apart from with the MM) each way, does this happen often? We have been with the company for a few years, really like the company and what it does, and hope this is the year progress continues positively. Apologies if this has come up before. Thanks and regards, MIG

Hi all. Just bought 15,000 at 20.07p (delighted, yes, smaller investor, but lot for me) but it shows up as a Sell. I know there has to be a seller and buyer but very confused why they do this. Still on my 2-3 year journey but convinced GGP will be a great success for me. SD has options of 5m @ 25p, probably in the next 18-24 months, so am especially pleased with his former success. Have no targets this year apart from possibly 30p by year end. GLA MIG

TW had said they were going to pay dividend but stopped it to cover their cash position. Think it was before the ex-divi date. Subsequently they bought land at good prices. We'll need to wait to see if this was wise; IMHO I think it will be if the Govt pushes for more housing which they need. Last dividend paid was 08Nov19. Regards, MIG

Hi all, yes, proposed dividend pay date is 14May21 and is the final dividend according to HL's TW share dividend tables, paid at 4.14p per share. Regards, MIG

Thanks to TallChap's link I saw SD's message with his screen saver message "Stunning Greatland Gold Find". His quick chat confirmed the stunning current results (IMHO) and he mentioned a very positive future, especially with the NCM drilling with a view to a major update probably in June. Sounds very exciting for 3-4 months time and then possibly 2 years after that. Again backs up what the usual excellent posters on this board have been saying in the past 6 months. GLA MIG

Hi TallChap, think it says "Stunning Greatland Gold Find" which matches SD's chat on you tube attached. Thanks for the find. MIG

Could be a variety of things - Help To Buy extended to end March, Jefferies upgrading TW to "Buy" from "Hold" with a target price of 195p and small (?) dividend to be paid this year. ATB MIG

Thanks Bamps21. Been reading a lot of articles in the FT Weekend, especially FT Money and the magazine over recent months. There have been several articles recently (e.g. Merryn Somerset Webb re: Gold and Copper) and an article 6/7 Feb entitled "Power Games" where China comes up a lot with items like the Tenke Fungurume copper and cobalt mine in the DR of Congo bought by a Chinese Company, China Molybdenum in 2016. They are used as you obviously know in cars, wind turbines, batteries, electric cables; very much the clean energy transition around the world. For an example, it states the US has limited domestic supplies of cobalt and lithium, also rare earth minerals. China has a large ownership of the rem's. GGP supplies of Gold are obvious assets, but I totally agree that copper and cobalt, especially in the next 2/3 years may be extra gems in GGP's future. Very grateful for your excellent analysis. Kind regards, MIG

Sorry! Thanks Barchid too. MIG

Many thanks Scharnhorst. Had been interested and impressed from Mercia's Software and eCommerce update of 02Feb21 with their 3 exits and general updates, like Gecko and Oddbox investments. The interview with Reg Hoad and Tamzin was interesting; very much appreciate the link. Gives me a further reason to add to my (humble) funds to increase my investment in Mercia. Been invested since 2019 and again end of 2020. Haven't lost faith in them, like what they're doing. GLA MIG

Thanks Kieffy. Watched the video, SD seems a calm, thorough man with a view to the long term. If he can do to GGP what he did in his previous job we have the right man for our long term future. Impressed, and linked to GH, a great journey so far with more to come.

Just had to say many thanks to Racing Cyclist for a really good laugh (very much needed, best in ages!) and to Paddy Gall, Bamps21 and Tom The Bomb for your considered thoughts and excellent technical analysis in the last several days. Very much appreciate the incredible support you give to so many, so often. Thank you. MIG

Hi Zoros - some bits I knew, some I'd worked out, but thanks to the BB I've learned loads. Really appreciate you laying out much of the attached. You, alongside several on here are total stars. A very different and excellent BB. Great post; many thanks. MIG
