No one likes NH's view on ENQ but the fact is that the share has been an appalling investment to date. And with HUR's utterly miserable 5%(....) rise on finding commercial oil, it becomes ever clearer that financial metrics are unimportant in the short term - companies are either in favour or not, or downright manipulated (MTRO), that's all. Little or nothing to do with finance. I was fortunate to make 100% on some AIM stocks recently - but all based on nothing (rumours etc). Great to make profit, but all luck.

So it doesn't matter how great we think ENG is - the market doesn't, and that's why I continue to trade it. LT holders also need to actively trade about 30% of their holding - otherwise its just very dead money.

TBH, the SLE board is one of the few on LSE that I read on regular basis. But purely for entertainment - most of the postings are as relevant as news on OF's progress in his Weight Watchers programme. And now that Bully Boy has departed, the tone has become less abusively-aggressive. If, as a SH in loss, the only benefit I get out of the company ATM is entertainment, so be it. It's like taking out a subscription of 'Hello' magazine - except of course there are no pictures of young women in bikinis.

CAPD is a good way to play thre current jump in gold. Increased PoG = more capital made available to junior miners = more exploratory drilling. West African contracts have already shot up from 5 to 12 this year.

Likely good times ahead. And the dividend has been increased.

Up all of 7%!!!! Oh my Gawd - this is the worst successful investment I have ever made. Still don't understand AIM after X years of investing on lt....

Anyone looking at i3e? Minus 40% on potentially bad news, while this share is plus zero on potentially good news. These are the odds you face investing in AIM - better off going to a casino, it would seem.

One year ago, GT was over 1000p. Now it's at 650p (after today's rise, that is). Seems Bovis bags a lot of potential, cheaply.

Yet another example (as if needed) of why AIM is a gambling site, not an investment platform. Is a 40% fall warranted? Hardly, in my view, but so what - it's happened. Great for new investors ; not so for holders who have no appetite for further exposure - near 60% rise now required to BE if bought recently. As so often on AIM, investment turns to noose around the neck.....

If the total reaction to the latest (non-negative) RNS is 4% (and falling) then I am afraid the investment case for this share is minimal. Unfortunatey not all that glitters is gold, it seems.

Holding (with a first buy many years ago), but no longer excited.

I have bought again on the current dip. This has been the laggard of the PM miners due mainly to production slowdown and (possibly) location. However other silver miners with similar downward-trending production and very high-risk locations are through the roof (on the US / Toronto exchanges), so I think that FRES has somewhat unfairly been made the Bad Boy of the sector. Cheap or Cheap For a Reason??? Can't say, but ATM the only sector I am looking at is PMs, and FRES appears to have more room for catch up than the others.

My 2 other major PM holdings in the UK are POLY and HGM - fantastic performance to date unlike FRES. Indicates the potential of the latter when silver finally kicks off?

Strange how rampers always filter anyone with an opposing view, Same rampers who have been pushing this share since 500p. Well THAT hasn't worked out so far, has it....

Follow the market, not the town criers. I have seen these guys on other shares (STAF, EVE) - endless ramping of share and then quick exit, leaving everyone else holding the unwanted baby.

Not sure why this share is falling through the floorboards - people really think the company will implode due to potential issues in Poland and a slow down in Mexico? That's what the price collapse is telling us - down from 250 to the 80's......

Despite zero movement in the share, the rampers keep ramping. Now share price falls are not negative but 'opportunities to buy the dip'. With the British gov making an a** of itself, Labour waiting on the sidelines and Brexit chaos getting more chaotic by the day, I just don't see any major investor buying big into a British bank ATM.

Spread is over 15%. That's ridiculous.....

260? 280? 300? Don't want to rain on anyone's parade but is a share that falls by 60%+ (depends how far you go back....) and then rises by 8% a great investment or a huge value-destroyer? I thought so - day traders quit the ramping as you try to get more people to buy in so that you can exit.

ZC,

Can't disagree with the risk involved. However these guys do actually serve a purpose in society - it's not like their clients can get an overdraft facility at Coutts. The industry needs to be regulated but not to the extent it shuts down - you don't ban cars because of the number of car accidents.

Did I say down 40%? Now approaching -50% - and results weren't even THAT bad!!! Reckon the Market Boys are playing with this share the way they have played with MTRO. How can PIs win in such a rigged market????

BS,

Indeed - why invest in value-destroyers like SLE when it is cheaper to directly buy the concessions.....?

Another commodity holding up 45% today, and already sold. Meanwhile this lion remains deeply asleep tonight and every other night. Golden Slumbers indeed.

At last this share is gaining traction. The last results show production down - however many (if not most) silver producers have seen declining production. Not sure why FRES took a massive hit while the others are off to the moon, unless it is indeed our friends the market manipulators. If it gets back to GBP 8.50, the dip was just a buying opportunity.

Anyone thinking that PFG is doing badly should have a look at AMGO's performance today. Sub-prime lending is just not a favoured sector ATM.

Reckon you guys should stop your continual ramping / moaning about MTRO, and move on to AMGO. Down 40% today snd in the 'financial' sector, it is your type of share.

Great news indeed. My only issue is that GNK was one of my larger dividend earners. Now I have to find a replacement - so many choices....,
