The trading and stealing numpties in the FUD squad are out.
I just ignore and usually filter them. 'Usually' as I, as much as the next investor, like a laugh on a slow day.
Every time it drops, I just take out a small position and sell when it goes up 10% to pay for my pub visits. My 400K holding remains secure inside the ISA.
An excellent RNS that adds further value to us which is, as shipmate Tigra has observed, is being ignored (or I'm my opinion, covered up) by the market.
They are trying everything to keep it below 26p/26.5p and have been doing for months now.
When we blow, and it will be sooner rather than later, it will be faster than a speeding musket ball.
Holding, long and strong.
Sandy - Funny you mention WW2 and gold. I had a dream the other night where I went diving in this alpine lake in Germany and found the missing Nazi gold. Sold it all and put some into more EUA shares :)
Hi Les.
IMO, fees will be based on how big the pie is. The bigger the pie, the smaller the %. Most M&A fees for a £1bn value are 0.5% to 1%. A slightly higher percentage is for smaller amounts on a sliding scale. Of course the fees for WA would be extra.
Assume £5bn sale, I expect M&A fees to be in the region of £50m maximum (this would be for DLA Piper and UBS). WAI would have their own fees, then there is tax to pay.
Postman - Best put a deposit down sooner rather than later as the waiting list is a year or so. Put a deposit down on a Cayman GTS 4.0 in August and was told June originally but now likely be July/August.
Not the most patient person in the world but having held EUA since July 2000 certainly helps towards that (laughs).
No sympathy from me either, Carlito :)
Going back to the earlier RNS. Another duck is lined up. We are all going to be rich soon plus we will get on-going dividend payments for the foreseeable with EUA v2.
I cannot think of a better investment for oneself and thy family.
Hawkspear - BR are a law unto themselves.

On a lighter note, have done my second top-up of the year earlier. Small change but every little helps :) 1,747 @ 22.78
Good point, ModestGuy.
It is well-known that AIM is the 'Wild West' of the investment world so, arguably, the vulnerable should NOT be playing around in this space (especially, if they have put in more than they can afford to lose).
This has been said many, many times. The other thing is unless one is trading, there is NO need to check the SP every day and REACT to it.
My strategy is - I have done my research and feel confident in my investment. When I can, I add to my growing holding below the II placement price (26p) so I use the 'manipulation by dark forces' to my advantage.
Impatience is the emend of all investors. Patience is our friend.
As for the naysayers, bots, fear-uncertainty-doubt squad and trading turncoats - I just green bin them.
We all have come this far. The last 5% of the journey is the hardest especially when one can smell the exotic fruit on Treasure Island in the salty breeze. The temptation is to jump overboard, swim there and feast after months of delirium ignoring the dangers of the sharks (MM's/BR et al) waiting to mercilessly devour you and your green palladium tickets.
Kick back and have a rum.
Mmm. That is an interesting theory, LB. Very plausible too.
Roughly how many 100k buys could have been done in 12 weeks? A couple of million shares in all? The thing is there has, in the main, been very low volume and also has been days where buys outweighs the sell despite the camouflage.
Nice one, Les.
Been to Fuerteventura once and liked it. Lanzarote, where I have visited a dozen times (and lived there for a year), is where my heart is - the volcanic landscape is great for hiking and not too many naked Germans :)
Looks like MREX controlling the price at the moment - not WINS for a change. Cannot see it going past 26 as it is being kept below (for one reason or the other) unless we have JORC/asset sale figures.
Will be topping-up (again) on Thursday if no real news.
Spot-on again, Tigra.
"The First Class cabins get on the rescue helicopter first. Women and kids are still in their cabins and the rest of us are swimming with the fishes." Reminds me of what happened with the Titanic.
A very nice RNS earlier. Reinforces my investment strategy to hold my shares (in EUA v2) for much-more-than-beer-money dividends :)
Agree with Pacman that we will get the EUA v1 asset sale next. If I was a betting man, I would have it nailed on for before the end of January but I think it will be the first week of January - a Thursday so, Ian, please can you put me down for the 6th for the firing of all the palladium cannons on HMS Eurasia. A broadside that will be felt across the investment world.
'Every trick is being played, they can’t buy what isn’t for sale so hold tight and be the one to prosper.' Tigra has it spot-on, as usual. Expect more MM games prior to the big RNS and it cannot be stressed how important it is to hold strong, in light of these shenanigans, when one can smell the exotic fruit and fragrant damsels on Treasure Island in the breeze.
Here is to a bountiful 2022, fellow shipmates' and I toast you all with a rum.
