Member Info for NicetoMichu

At this rate Mr Professional, Sir and Mr Wise Owl Speak, Sir may soon only be open to semi addressing each other .. ..

...as in...

Mr Semi Professional

Mr Semi Wise Owl Speak

:-)

I was only joking, of course, Cruella.. and towards joking some more...

Split Cassandra/Marlene personality reminds me that while there's zero chance of me ever being on the xtr.l inside, I'd have reserved both Danny and Tony Driscoll (Brothers) as my Only Fools & Horses nicknames... Danny on a Nice to Michu day and Tony on a Not Nice to Michu day :-)

( Don't fear Mr Zap...if ever I bump into Mr Bird on the Old Brompton Road or generally hereabouts, I would of course try my best to present as Danny Nice to Michu Driscoll ! )

Are you Mr WOS, Sir implying that Mr Professional, Sir has a wardrobe full of Sneaky Sneakers and empty of Shoe(s)?

Mr Michu always wonders how many Sneaky Sneakers Mr WOS has in his Wardrobe too?

I have a huge amount of time for AK.. and have no doubt he has and continues to put his heart and soul into making Save.l a very successful company.

Him owning a bunch of shares here, is very helpful in that regard, I have no doubt.

Trying to do business in Africa is more and more of a nightmare for Western companies though.. and good or bad luck is a huge determinant of progression, alongside - AK's - very hard work.... Alas, I believe he has been unlucky a lot in the last couple of years. Very hopefully meaningful good luck comes to AK/us in sundry things save.l very soon.. because we need it.

PS; On the - small :-) -chance Mr Professional do not have all IP addresses here.. I ask if Mr WOS would consider buying Sneakers instead of shoe(s).. as I understand he has so many shoe(s) now that he's bored of going buy shoe(s), Sir.. and instead spends too much time doing good research and posting here

I don't short, so only your below 3p buy recommendation is of interest to me, Mr Professional .. and I'm all for topping up here at 3p ish ..

As you have all IP addresses, please could you, Mr Professional Sir, effect a block on Mr WOS's main IP address here until Friday.... and to be safe Mr Master too.. as there is a chance that their good info. might stop this s/p from falling to 3p ish in coming days..

Sincerely Yours

Mr Michu

...my GUESS is that algorithm(s) is still looking to, in the round, buy more here ..and continues trying its best to confuse and disguise around this intention..

...and the algo(s) would like to tease out more shares from existing holders to mop up at sub 1.75p, of course... hopefully few currently holding oblige.. and algo(s) is/are open to pushing this s/p decently on up from here.. and such activity/rally begets further buying again.. getting us to a fairer - imho - level of 2.5p +

Some interesting debate here today, in fairness .. thanks

And, in the round, the most defining point I take is coffeecups re seeing this as a trading share (a lot more so than a buy and hold share)

Of my two plays in this space, I had hoped to see xtr as my trading share and this as more of - but not entirely - a buy and hold play.. The insights I've gained here since first involvement a few months back to now has me see both equally as trading shares now... and management in both, in the round, underwhelms me pretty significantly and equally

Generally, I expect another raise here - for Botswana further drilling, if next stage exploration is positive .. and/or for Zambia new licence exploration.... within the next 15 months.. We absolutely need the share price to be much higher when that happens.. and plenty of ducks need to come in line for that to happen .. especially early(ish) drilling results from Anglo ..

JV phased payments from Anglo will help somewhat as we go I do appreciate though ... and I also clearly understand that we need macro stuff to turn from unfavourable to favourable relatively quickly too eg price of copper meaningfully ralling and general AIM market and this Sector specific therein sentiment changing from - very - negative to positive

In the circumstances, management chose the right/obvious play.

If the play wasn't so obvious they might easily have chosen badly...

And it was as cr +p a play as much as an obvious play because management messed up a bunch previously..

...hopefully they live and learn....

More hopefully again they get lucky going forward ..

It's really all about drilling results now ..

Here's hoping !

Good post Mr Zap (imho)

And that last placing of three years ago was at a - what now appears to be - Princely 6.2p .. in fairness too...

.925p today even more shocking, in the round, so... alas

PS: How Mr Bird managed the unwind of his Bushranger story... that turned out average - so far - (imho) versus an at one point potentially excellent looking outcome ... remains my biggest issue here.. such apathic ham fistedness against a brutal market backdrop, doubly unfortunate too.. (Towards balance, I've always liked Mr Colin Bird's 'ave a go 'ero orientation)

Generally, I need Mr Bird to get even somewhat lucky with an 'ole or three one more time .. please.. and that's plenty possible still too ..

Approx 100m volume - buys and sells -were transacted here last week alone.. the Swedish Teachers Pension fund seller had approx. 60 m to sell in total.. and had opportunity to sell in feb too when there was 100m - buys and sells -transacted volume across all that month ......

Given very good liquidity here last week and semi decent liquidity here thru Feb that Pension fund seemingly - from yesterday's RNS - having a meaningful chunk to sell still surprised me a lot..

I'll guess the placing could have been at 2p + when scoped in the market from say early last week.. but leaky leaky selling - I note the two 'huge' volumes days of last week were Thursday and Friday too, to support this - before the placing saw it end up at 1.8p - a further disappointment from a company that has already smashed the vast majority of its medium and especially long term shareholders)

Also I'd like to know what the arranged selling to ARCM price will be for that Swedish Pension Funds remaining Block ....and how many shares that actually is ... and when that price was agreed?

Thanks for that feedback smalleyus

And I agree you generally are indeed well worth paying attention to here

Mr WOS go by shoe(s) today, seemingly.. well deserved, Sir..

But I'm surprised it has taken til nearly 3pm for the s/p to start down today in your absence..

I hope you enjoy more shoe buying tomorrow too Mr WOS !

PS: If we don't get to 3.25p by eob tomorrow can you stay buying shoe(s) on Thursday too please Mr WOS ?!

''No, I get to the gymn at 6.00 and spend 90 minutes work out, then 5 minutes steam room and 15 minutes sauna, shower, then a glass of juice and some fruit and home by 8.30 ish, so not much chance of an early morning check and for a long time I've not been disappointed so early in the day.''

Surprised you weren't more specific on the fruit you have RG27 ?!

Also looking forward to getting colour on your 8.30 am ish to 1pm ish?

I'm going to second - and third and fourth... - that 3cardbrag !

While I sincerely congratulate Mr Bird on his fine achievement of selling Kiwara to First Quantum - for approx $260 million - in 2009 .. it is now approx 15 years since then.. and given I was warned in 2016 ish that Mr Bird had in recent preceding years talked a far better game than he delivered - that can only be based on under achievements by him between 2010 and 2016 max - and his track record in the v approx 8 years I've been involved in this share up to now has been, in the round, - very - underwhelming.... it's actually about shareholder pain from him turning 65 thru him turning 80 ....and maybe beyond ....etc

( I bought in here 2016 ish as he'd done it with Kiwara and so I guessed had a decent chance of doing it again at some stage.. he might still .. here's hoping etc)

PS: I hope the man lives many healthy years yet.. regardless of what happens to xtr.l.. as I see this space/AIM sector as hard core punting.. where I fully understand that the vast majority of co's, one way or other, end up decimating most shareholders 'Investments' aka bets

Are you still open to buying in here around Summertime smalleyus?

Or Spring time even?

And what might be an acceptable price range to you for any such buying here?

It is what it is flipper.. and regulators will continue to do what they now do, I expect..

nobody is making me/us play this game .. all my losses / gains are on me ..

AIM has evolved into a short term traders market - including more shorting - because longtermers very - very - often lose heavily

PS: I've seen plenty less caring about their shareholders Execs than CB on AIM

''although I see some ADVFN posters were invited......I wonder if some of the regulars on here also subscribed via their contacts ''

I wonder - more - how much shorting /forward selling/selling down to buy back lower etc happened in the last week odd off the back of this?!

As I'm newish here, this is my first time gaining live experience of NvS operating.. at least I'm used to such modus operandi at this stage of my wide participation in the AIM cesspit/casino.

I would offer that in the circumstances - which should not have arisen, granted.. but poor management has consequences - I understand this raise to be a reasonable play against a bad set of options..

So, including me being a pretty new shareholder here, I'll find it easy enough to look forward instead of back from here.. but I'll do that while understanding not to trust or rate Senior Management here..

eg Range trading and a small to mid size total in play bet at most more my orientation here going forward than it might have been before yesterday's RNS

..... and maybe having a hoot there with Nicholas Von Shirnding - ARCM Exec Chairman- at us the mugs that are dumb enough to be shareholders in their companies :-) (As unlike as it sounds by name, granted.... I wonder are those two related in some way !)
