The moon can be an extremely cold/harsh place to visit.. maybe sending that rocket to somewhere warm as an alternative big trip: Australia ! ..... this has certainly been a down under shot, so far.

There are widely varying flavours of traders.. and very short term traders - that Mr India refers to below- I'd expect are not the most omnipresent by value traded ...

eg I generally see a meaningful tranche of all me AIM bets as for range trading.. and built a position here at begining of year with a low - 1 odd p ish - average versus the field ...and sold most all out incrementally thru 2's and 3's in Jan rally.... and have incrementally built out a similar position over very recent months.. but alas my average is a little over 2p this time .. still, I'm hoping for a strong rally to come here soon.. I'll sell down by increment depending on the news / generall BB mood and so do not have a firm exit target price... but another 100% ish might be doable in coming weeks I'd hope....

More generally, I do like this stock for its medium term potential too and so will likely keep some as a medium term bet to be added to as good progress -hopefully -happens here over coming many months ..

I.e. the shareprice/market cap here is joke low versus the prsopects, Sherclass

Well put Ctw.. I have renewed faith here now and did a small top up this morning off the back of that.. obviously thy've over promised/ under delivered for a very long time now.. and so best wait and see as we go thru this year, perhaps.. but I'm hopeful going forward from here..semi excited even ..

Just looked and see a good discussion trails here today ..

All I've got to add is that CB absolutely plays games with xtr shareholders imho... from my years involved with xtr shares, I believe him to have an abundance of manipulative character traits.. but if the s/p waas plenty or much higher now then I'd be fine with that.. but it's not and so I'm not !

Fair play to those who keep pant(s) up through recent down ticks here, if meaningfully good news drops next week and this motors on back towards 6/7p..+ etc.. for those, like me, with pant(s) down, Sir currently, you've got to accept there's always the risk that GroB Helmut Shiner sneaky up behind you and.. well...say no more..

...here recently, I see from looking in today...

...Richard Smallwood , WOS and Doc bang at it recently .. to name but a few cast member.. and Helmut Shiner come on down and join the cast here too, please....

PS: The entertainment value of this board was, alas, not enough to stop me selling down a fair chunk of my bet here in 6's and 5's p recently.. I may regret that, I get .. but my average is in the 3'sp and a profit is a profit etc...also I see half a chance I'll get to add chunks back in the 3's p later in summer now... maybe...and longterm holders wouldnt mind 3's here again as any such weakness would be just more noise on the road to eventual Matd greatness, I guess .. indeed any further weaknessin lower 4's higher 3's p etc- IF it were to occur.. it may not of course.. - would be a great topping up opportunity for the staunch believers here ?

It takes a lot to shock me on AIM these days... but this s/p fall back from the merited recent rise to 2.35 p ish - off the back of RNS'd fundamenetal improvement in Fair Bride 'Ard production in Q1 2023.. etc.. - has shocked me.. the previous 1.3 p low was an overreaction s/p collapse out of of fear and anger imho...and while a good jump from there to 2.3p might well have seen a pull back from some traders exiting, I get .... still, a new base around 2p - maybe 1.80 p worst case - would have been reasonable in my mind .. but now at 1.5 p ish and still falling is shocking to me here now..

The wider AIM market & sector being in a state of high paronia/fear is of course a factor.. but CB's very damaged reputational credibility is clearly a factor here too ..so I fully understand the anger coming his way on this BB and at the AGM to come... I too am more angry with him than ever ... and I'm especially annoyed be his attempted 'management' of this s/p, whcih has been very incompetent indeed.... and 'managing' information flow like he does here ongoingly is hard core arrogance ...

Still, I don't think he should retire.. instead maybe a more strategic role and appoint Program Managers for each of the assets being put in place the way to go..and him toning hard down on his Xtr 'God Complex' off the back of such a new Organisational structure too, please.

Also I do think that progressive / significant FairBride 'ard income going forwards will see this s/p go back towards 2.5p in July /August.. and Bushranger still has decent potential sell on value too in 2024 or 25 imho.. and my worst case there is a sell on value of 10-20 m gbp for it to another small player to take forward.. so time will see anger discipate here i expect / hope .. and I'm in the context of the assets here now I'm confident 1.5p ish s/p is meaningfully too low..and so i'm fine with staying patient here towards this s/p getting back to a less - very - unfair s/p level over time...

The idea from Easy and/or others that those with serious concerns here should all sell out asap makes me laugh and cry in equal parts.

I'd guess the s/p would be sub 2p in short order if all with that perspective actually did that.

eg I have serious concerns here but am a hard core AIM betting man and so stay on board and live in hope... many others the same, no doubt, including A LOT who -sadly - are so far down now that they may as well stay on board and see what's left as a hard core bet which still has some hope...

..this not being to stay above 40p was sad.. I dumped a bit in late 30's p and should have dumped a bit more I'm now hindsightening..

...it now being under 35p is sadder still .. here's hoping this latest bout of selling drys up soon.. but the lack of meaningful buying here in the late /mid 30's around now is the most disappointing thing .. but I've been disappointed a lot with this share over a long period of time, in fairness,.. so consistent, in fairness..

....to the extent of there be any truth in the likes of Stas being shorter(s), you could equally offer that the likes of Brel are employee(s) of COPL..

..I do not believe that Stas is a shorter or Brel is an employee of COPL btw .. and understand, in the round, the positive and negative postings on this BB to be as good or bad as each other..

Generally, my guess is Art will survive this difficult period and COPL will turn itself around somewhat, with time..one way or other ... but this is hard core gambling and you need to be prepared to lose much or all of your BET in deciding to play this game

Which reminds me .. party 'with feather, Sir(s)' pushed back a bit, perhaps ? As long as it happens in the end, then fine by me.. indeed maybe we just go straight for the without feather party when we have the party

I see the same message thousands of times, over months on end, from some of you.

(no names, named from me out politeness though, Sir(s))

I'll go as far as re-iterating my point:

There's no doubt that Mike Buck is capable or digging deep and pulling out a large one.

Clearly, not the time to be caught with Pant(s) down, Sir(s) !

Mike Buck is no two Buck Chuck.. so best not be caught with pant(s) down when he make(s) big announcement.. leaving those on sidelines saying oh +uck..

Is that you buying Ronaldo?

Lover of all things Landore that you pretend not to be.. talk/walk it down.. then hoover them puppies up :-)

This time next year, Rodney.. You know it makes sense..

'Whistling in dark springs to mind !'

Or

Treating his Investors with contempt might spring to others mind .. eg Gixxers .. or, in fairness, mine, to a small/medium extent ..( I don't think it was maliciously done.. hence my 'small/medium' extent wording)

All pretty fair imho Andrew, and encourages me to add a some 'micro' to my previous 'macro' post:

To para phrase Warren Buffett .. when you realise you're in a hole, you should stop digging..

The thing that has me more angry with CB than at any time previously in my many - plenty range trading orientated - years involvement in this share - and, to be clear, I have been somewhat angry often with him previously.. hence seeing this more and more as a range trading play as I went - was that he knew long before us that the grades/tonnage etc from drilling campaigns to date down the Bush were going to be decently shy of what he was earlier hoping/expecting.. and instead of trying to manage back expectations on a gentle/incremental basis he just 'kept digging'..

(and the extent of the s/p collapse here is somewaht understandable to me off the back of such behaviour by CB...but i still think, versus fundametals, the s/p fall here has been decently over done..)

While I think you're a bit - definitely not a lot though - too hard on CB, Gixxer , I do rate your posting here highly as a rule.

In some sort of vague defence of CB, I'll offer that like many, many other AIM Executives, CB has a very positive mental attitude by DNA and strong 'Marketing Orientation' is a pretty natural occurrance off the back of such. So focusing hard on any positives while ignoring any negatives is kinda par for the course for Execs on AIM.. and they become more and more conditioned to this modus operandi as they go.. eg you have to have a strong 'story' to get a listing away on AIM.. and you have to 'find' the positives as you go that allows you keep getting raises away towards getting to an end game which you have religion on being achievable, 'eventually'

(Unfortunately the consequences of this standard Exec modus operandi, somewhat across the AIM Market as a whole, for PI's who are anything other than super cynical, very untrusting or, in whatever way, generally very good at playing the game are often awful: many, -many - in the round, lose lots of money from their 'Investing' activity in AIM, sadly)

I understand/get all that Andrew.. but I'd go as far as saying I understand 1.35p two months ago more than I understand 1.65p today.. this rallied recently up to 2.35p ish ON FUNDAMENTALS - ie obvious ongoing Fairbride 'Ard progress - and even allowing for a retrace for profit taking from short term bets, I'm still very surprised this has already gone back under 1.75 p.... and, if news vacuum thru May etc, it may even go further back again....hopefully not, obviously
