Or how about, The Gambler - Kenny Rogers:

If you're gonna play the game, boy
You gotta learn to play it right
You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em

Anyone else not seeing the SXX trade data on HL, especially the trades by volume? Seems odd that the data goes AWOL today.

"Well I’ve been spooked out today and sold at a 47% loss. A LTH not wanting to lose any more life savings"

For a LTH selling out today 47% doesn't seem a credible loss. This share has been over 16p for years.

Time to try and trade a few.

Live SP almost 5% down and yet the SP at the head of this page is 2.5% up?

"Is there evidence to suggest they couldn't be sold this time round?"

Well, there's that recent RNS. But rarely are things black and white. People will interpret things in their own way.
Using my "ittekegence" I can conclude that I don't know what the f##k's going to happen.

"further dilution - is already priced into the SP"

Chilting, beware of that sort of thinking. Very often fear drives the price down and the actual announcement only adds to the pain.

KOH, unfortunately your option 3 is looking ever more likely to me (aka, current shareholders fuc#ked, somebody will save it and build under the new ownership ...)

Let's hope my worries are unfounded. We will know within the next two months.

The problem is that project success does not always equate with a return on investment for the small PIs. There are many ways the big players can and will protect themselves.

"I personally think the RNS was short and cold ON PURPOSE."

Sad to say, but I'm feeling as cynical about this as you KOH. Held these shares for over 5 years and really wish I hadn't.
Firmly believe the mine will be built but there's a significant risk of this share going to 0p that cannot be ignored by any investor.

"To buy again - after all this time - when price goes to below 7p"

Wish you luck. Sad to say, but I'm sure you'll get your price. From a PI perspective, I've have lost faith in this project. Some are going to make a lot of money but, unless your timing out of this world, it's not the people posting here.

"I’ve got a inkling that CF has a ACE up his sleeve for the private investors."

Since the X and C are next to each other on the keyboard, I assume you meant to say, "CF has a AXE up his sleeve for the private investors."

Feb 2015 - Buy at 7p, Sell May 2015 at 23p
Feb 2016 - Buy at 11p, Sell March 2016 at 20p
Apr 2016 - Buy at 14.5p, Sell Aug 2016 at 45p
Mar 2017 - Buy at 17.25p, Sell Jun 2017 at 33.5p
Feb 2018 - Buy at 22.1p, Sell Aug 2018 at 38p

That's approximately a 60 bagger!

Wish I had realised this was a trader's share and not a long term holder's share.

"And that for me will nearly be a life changing sum as kept adding ..."

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, I kept adding too (on the way up - average 31p) but feared for all the new comers when the price dropped from the 20s to 16p only a short time ago. Seriously thinking now that the mine will get built but that the PIs will be wiped out in the process. We hear it often, but only invest what you can afford to lose.

"How this share was touted around as a great starter investment is beyond me!"

Suckered me in - down £130k :-(

And I was going to add at 12.1p :-(

"Cheap as chips now!"

Loads of bargains to choose from at the moment.

Great time to add. Been mopping up some bargains this morning.

"More pain Monday or a wee bounce."

Not taking a lot of chances with that prediction :-)

"why the hell are they still holding them"

A lot of the reason is that people cling to the highly toxic term "paper losses".

A professional unemotional investor that was already invested would only hold if they would buy in right now with the current value of their holding under the hypothetical condition that they do not currently have a holding.

It's a loss when the price drops, NOT when you sell. Anyone who adheres to the mantra "it's only a loss when you sell" still has much to learn.

This sounds harsh, but anyone who believes in the term "paper losses" is seriously deluded. Losses are real. People who cling to the term paper losses need to stop thinking like the tax man and start thinking like an unemotional professional investor.
