Post of the year?
And maybe take the Swerve with you...?
You might as well go back off grid in S America..?
"If I’m wrong i will make a very public and humble apology." I'm sure you could do that that without turning a hair: making a contribution to cancer charities out of your ill-gotten shorting gains as suggested by IslandGirl would be infinitely more appropriate.
So if you thought it would harm Hemo's ability to improve lives, would you or wouldn't you short?
While yes, I can see that rampers damage a board like this and I have to admit to being influenced by them in my early Sirus/Cineworld days (!), the difference between them and derampers is that derampers can be shorters whose way of investing is built on the target of the company's failure. This can damage not just the board and possibly naive investors but the company itself and in some cases (like companies aiming to reduce suffering and save lives) that is far worse than ramping.
Fair point Pumpky, fair response JHFH. No-one has suggested that shorters create the point of weakness, just that they then CHOOSE to make their money by digging into the weak point caring nothing about what that does to confidence in the company and in Hemo's case, its ability to help people. In Hemo's case, Pumpky/IslandGirl, do you approve of this?
Was going to anyway but happy to tell you that IGirl
Once again I'll ask (last time), T'hound, do you think it's okay to short a company whose goals are to prevent suffering and save lives?
Apparently the London Stock Exchange first opened in 1801. I won't detail all the things which happened then which are unbelievable and unacceptable now, but slavery and bear-baiting spring to mind. Just because it still happens does not make it right and people always have the choice how they invest. Pleased it does sound as though you too actually think they could invest in other ways yourself however.
T'hound. Does shorting bet on a company failing? Does it therefore aim for a lower sp? Does this harm confidence is the company? Can you really see "nothing wrong" with harming confidence in a company whose goal is to save lives?
That isn't the refrain here T'hound. The point being made here is that shorters make money out of betting on a company's failure which harms the company by reducing confidence and in the case of companies like Hemo, which are attempting to prevent suffering and death, that is vile. My prayer is also that such people shouldn't buy shares.
Just wondering why you wanted to post that...
Pains me to say it RJ but all (and far more than) I can afford is already in funds in another share. So much to ponder in perhaps so little time.
And goodness knows how much demand there could be as might well be that new uses of helium develop as it becomes more available.
HT - my guilty pleasure :)
JR - appreciate both your replies :) Wish I could buy more: isa in full holding mode!
So...many valuable commodities like lithium , oil, gold and diamonds, gain part of their value from the fact that they are limited resources; the value of helium however comes far more simply from the ever-increasing needs we have for it. The unique find He1 may have here, is the ability to put a tap on the end of a natural helium factory.
Sp around 2.5p: somewhat surprised how risk-averse some investors seem to be.
Thanks for gentle chastise and explanation RJ. Not in any way trying to be negative and fully appreciate that momentous scientific knowledge and explanations shouldn't always be reduced to soundbites - whilst also rather hoping that had already actually happened...
Just to reinforce the enormity of such a find NaughtyG, would be great if you or someone have a direct quotation to hand from rns or Lorna which states this.
