That made me giggle ProfQ. Vison of a cat quaking on the top shelf in the corner of the room looking nervously at the calendar.

Without wishing to put a curse on it, there is every chance that the next set of drilling results from Havieron will be good. So that will mean the share price will shoot up 25% on the strength of it yes? After all, it plummeted so much after we didn't find the second Havieron.

Yeah right. Will it heck. There's nowt so queer as folk, as they say. :)

Haha Mark. I like that. Normally the poems on here would make a Christmas card writer cringe but yours gets 'over the net'. :)

These magic videos are a great addition to our knowledge base. I'm a complete div on geology and bow down to his vastly superior understanding. We are also fortunate to have several on the board who are well tuned up to the subject.

However, I've always been pretty good at mental arithmetic and even I could work out that the sell off yesterday was absolutely crazy.

I had a discussion with yellowstuff over a coffee a few months ago and we both agreed that if you have a gold find in Havieron which is a 1 in a 1000 discovery, that kind of gives you an idea of where your focus should be.

33p is very conservative 'risked' value placed 'almost entirely' upon Havieron as issued by Berenberg. Everything else is just icing on the cake and three weak results from the first few drills at Scally should never have resulted in a 25% drop in one day. Magic's rant at the end of the video was well founded.

"If people are stupid enough to believe anyone here knows anything and base their investment choices on it that’s their fault! Pick out the posters with some mining savvy and filter the rest"

Don't they call that an oxymoron?

I've been watching 'The World's Worst Prisons' on Netflix and how prisoners try their utmost to get mobile phones and drugs in any way they can. You don't think he/she/it managed to obtained both do you?

That could well be the case DGR but clearly a large number of people HAVE sold and it has driven the price down. However, every cloud has a silver lining! I have been trying for ages to get Lady Mush to part with her dull National Grid shares and buy more here. She finally did today and she picked up £5k worth at an amazing 24.5p.

I have to say that the hysterical sell off today worries me but only in so much as how many investors are on board without a shred of understanding about this company. I get the feeling that the share buying business is just an extension of online gambling for many with about as much mental input as pressing a button on a slot machine.

Berenberg's latest conservative estimate is 33p for this share based mainly on the perceived value within Havieron. Does it seem remotely likely that the initial fall today of 25% to 24p is any way justifiable? It seems nothing changes in the stock market since the famous Buffett statement, nothing at all. Sigh.

Very sad news. We are all thinking about you panama.

Playing around with some mental arithmetic here. The SP has risen every month for the last twelve months. Now I know that past performance doen't necessarily.blah blah.. etc etc BUT the arithmetic mean is a 30% rise per month. The best month was 78% and the worst 10%.

2021 started on 36.9p. Therefore, if we maintain this trend, we should finish January on 48.0p average, 68.4p maximum, or 40.6p minimum.

Not bad eh?

Now where is that crystal ball I picked up from Poundland?

Welcome back panama. Yes it is very sad news regarding Nige and equally not being able to see your own mother must be really frustrating. I hope she will pull through somehow. I've been a bit quiet of late because my 86 year old father, who had a stroke several years abo and also has copd, managed to contract covid despite being house-bound. He was taken to hospital around a week ago and is now being released! I can't believe it! He must be made of concrete or something.

Difficult to concentrate on stuff here but I still read it all and take in as much as I can. Maybe a very positive RNS tomorrow will lift my mood substantially. Here's hoping!

The Mponeng mine needs some major cooling to keep the temperatures in check at the lower levels plus it's a one hour commute to get to work! Check it out on this wikipedia page:

I thought it had something to do with Ronnie Corbett being guillotined but what do I know?

Which is a shame Matml because when they eventually bring it up to the surface it will have a big hole in it!

Fear not patientone. It will rise up again. 10% rise in one day without news is simply fodder for the day traders. Better to see a rise of 1% per day so they cannot play their games. I find it infuriating but it is what it is.

What awful news RW. I would read Nige's posts with some interest since they had their own distinct style: Full of stats, floats and calculations! He was always willing to offer advice and would answer any question no matter how naive and that would include mine. Please send him best wishes and gratitude from someone he never met but who valued his input. Indirectly, he has helped my family.

Apart from the fact that 2021 has a nice ring to it and sounds quite cool, particularly when you say it like a BBC radio DJ trying to impress, it's stumbled a bit already hasn't it? All those little gif's that circulated on Whatsapp and the like, showing 2020 being kicked, out covid-wise, and being replaced by the fresh and lovely 2021, seem a little empty now don't they? We have yet to receive our precious Scally results (and that's all we damn well wanted Santa if you're watching!) and our share price has tumbled every day from 38p something to 32 point whatever in the first week. We have a lunatic looking like the injun who hated Dustin Hoffman in Little Big Man, all across the news channels and the coldest day on record here in on the Globally-Warmed Iberian peninsula.

However, if that wasn't bad enough, our board has been taken over by gumbies at the weekend! What on Earth has happened? I seriously think we need to adopt a new calendar and start this year again. In the immortal words of the new president elect we can sum it up as follows: " Well, purrple les fin lo burumee fllas wuubi tweny...tweun".

Yep, I'm down a fair wad too from the 38p pinnacle but it makes not a half-penneth of difference. If the share had risen to 42p or descended to 32p I'd still be holding.

Great post btw LittleCrumbs. I sometimes think many shareholders are like little children who have been told at breakfast that they can have a bag of sweets at 5pm and then ask continuously from 9am onwards if they can have them earlier.

Yes Rottnest and now I see how Dodge beat me to it. It's like those times when you relate a joke at a party and then hear someone repeat it as their own later that evening.

However, regarding the original poster's request, I don't think you will get any insightful answers here on the GGP board. The question might be better placed on the general chat section. However, my own philosophy on life is if you never lie you can never be caught out trying to 'remember' the lie and there is nowhere more unforgiving than these boards!

Spot on lebugue :)
