The orders received in April is very impressive imho.

Obviously what's invoiced is the key indicator generally though, and the extra actually invoiced in April - on top of q1 invoicing previously notified - is uninspiring.... But my guess now is that that strong orders month in April will see both May and June have decently better invoiced sales numbers ...

Also lets not forget that the second half of year is much busier than the first for orders as a rule

So in the round I could make a pretty good case for this s/p being decently higher than 2p now.

And the tranche I sold recently - in early 2'sp - I bought back just now (in early 2'sp)

(And I was tempted to buy another tranche on top in truth.. but stopped myself because of the history here)

PS: Watch out Black Cat Burton's about :-).. but I see him as right to blow the trumpet here today, in fairness..

Ahhh.. hell.. I've just added some more.. here's to 10p this arbo so :-)

Thanks for that feedback Razza,

Ps; is that you buying these this lunchtime ?

(must admit I've been tempted to add a few more in the last 30 mins.. but have stopped myself... so far )

(I wasn't on the call ... RNS this morning said most all too, you'd expect)

For a small while I'd hoped/guessed it might become a priority share for me but I'm plenty less sure of that now ( my small to mid size bet here has been and might easily remain very slow to see any further grow out )

The BIG hope here is always the Anglo expertise/ drill bit.. NvS had skills enough to get the JV done, at least.. but is limited in an awful lot of ways .. and is of course significantly overpaid .. and 'weasley cute ' enough to ensure he'll not be pushed aside here..

Ps: While the abusiveness on this BB was a shock to me at first, I'm coming round to finding it more entertaining as we go.. and so I've got that to keep me engaged here too :-)

I'm open to doing a bit of trading here too grsshaw.. and great if this rallies on up on coming weeks/months..

While I get the markets are a mare generally, this being oversubscribed by a queue of blue chips wanting to throw money at this leads me to offer that this could of course have played out better for PI's..

Generally, while I still like this plenty, it's one of many AIM shares I hold, and versus others in the round, it has overall actually gone down a bit in excitement terms for me today .. I still have pretty high hopes for this from here .. but lets not forget this was decently over 200p at it's peak and many long/medium term PI's continue to be beaten up again and again as we go here..

(Ian Selby is a Director here.. Is Jonathan David Selby Cranston one ?)

Who exactly is this recent Tr-1 holding double downer, Jonathan David Selby Cranston, please Razza? And what is his relationship to Ian Selby, if any ? etc ?

I'd describe the placing price as average, or semi decent at a push.. And I'd describe the overall size as around twice what I would have guessed.. so a hell of a lot more shares than I expected in play now..

This company is extremely well cashed up now granted, giving it serious bandwidth to invest to maintain it's market leadership in a hugely growing /exciting space..

Also we have a fine array of blue chip size shareholders, thus underlining ies.l's pedigree

And I have high hopes for late 24 and all 25 here now..

(Generally, I intend watching quietly for a good while to see how/where this settles down .. As I did two top up ahead of placing I'm thinking I'll not partake in this PI offer.. My top ups were a bit higher than current s/p but on a scheme of things it's little difference.. and they brought my average down somewhat too .. Alas my average is still a decent ways higher than 23p .. but Schroders for eg will still be somewhat higher than mine after this raise, at least (they were a lot higher again before - maybe 70 to 80 p ish i'd guess then - that coming meaningfully down again now.. granted))

Stationmaster AND Shep !

I was in and out of this a fair few times over the years.. made some gains from range trading this but also sold down/out for a small loss a few times too.. most always had a few k bet in play only.. and sold out most all of my last in play bet on the spike ahead of delisting, at a small profit that time round.. but overall a few grand down from the journey I'd estimate.. given what a mongrel this has been I'm fine/lucky with that .. hence that small top up punt here now..

Sad situation for plenty I get and I'm sorry for your trouble here..

A sick joke really ..

And all I got left to offer is: This time next month, Rodney.. You know it makes sense

To that end I've doubled plus down here .... but it was from a less than 500 gbp left at suspension place granted.. and this latest bet a total punt for the hell of it.. here's to an RTO quickly please..

Best I leave you in the capable hands of Mr Zap, Cruella

Perhaps elaboration is better left to good creative writing types with big twitter followings Mr J. Zoo :-)

Speaking of good stories; how many of you have heard the one about Anglo American looking to increase their booked Copper Inventory in short order towards helping BHP come back with an improved offer.........

....And Anglo American Senior Management giving Mr Colin Bird a call back regarding his long requested chat about exercising their option to buy out a significant scale copper porphyry in Australia that goes by the name of Bushranger

There's potentially a - very - good business here going forward.. hence this process of saving/rebasing pfc.l.

With a few years patience from here and some half decently timed averaging down by me during that time, I see a reasonably good chance that my equity BET here will, in the round, be at least an OK bet in the end... and a decent chance it will turn out a good bet in the end.. and a small chance it will turn out to be a great bet in the end (eg takeover/merger or serious turnaround to a profitable / heathy debt positioned independent business )

The overpromising involves some very good stories along the way too Paddyboy.. and many - including myself- like a good story, in fairness.

But plenty have memories longer than CB would like them too, alas.

Still, here's to some new audience involvement and another captivating story from the one and only Mr Colin Bird !

Any which ways I look at this I'm very pleased to have a small/mid sized buy and hold bet in play here.. Bad case it spikes on the right type of sneeze.. and so a traders play too.. good case it multi bags on a merger or t/o ( and look how tightly held a bunch of this is too .. versus the opportunitieS for regular - rallying - noise on any such take out or merger etc)

Yesterday, I offered it would be a bad idea for a youngish ? man like yourself, Ben 'Owell, to be taking any of the 'appy tablets .. Today, after that post, I'll offer just the one a day might be an ok level to go with :-)

Generally, imho best not look to write about what Mr Bird has swept under the carpet - across al his AIM entities - over the years...else À la recherche du temps perdu might all of a sudden look like a short read :-)

Small rally in train.. Burton turns up to attempt to pump it.... rally reverses: Black Cat Burton :-)

Header says all, Sirs

I still believe this will survive and turn itself around in due course.. and I'm fin e with patiently waiting for that.. and in that context I'm also happy to add a bit more to my smallish position here just now..
