NO NEWS IN THE SECTION FOR OSB. SO WHY THE PRICE DROP. NOTICE IT SEEMS TO BE ALL NUYERS AT THE MOMENT

Think i may have overpaid at.55p for this. Ah well cannot win them all.

To us who know nothing this is a buy. Big drop from its high, but p/e still over 8 howevert now a decent dividend, if it is maintained. We buy stocks that fall a lot and look for a technical rebound before taking profits. Have an ticklish feeling it may still go down but going to risk a small investment. We make errors and a stock we buy occassionally goes down a few days later. However overall these stocks that drop a lot usually give a technical rebound. We missed Carillion at 16p being greedy and waiting for it to go lower. We managed over a 18% gain last year but we are starting to make mistakes and this may be another one.

We try to buy stocks that are very low or have droped a lot. so at 50p we bought some then last week we thought at 36 p we may as well buy some more as we could not find any one sayng they were no good. You lot all seemed pretty up beat so thank you. Amazing how many companies that float find the price half or more in 12 minths time.

We will do you all a favour and sell our holding which should make the price go up, you could be thanking us by giving us 5% of your increase. We will buy more Shanta Gold, Seeing Machine and Pan African as well as Acacia Mining when it is in 140 range again Have Fun

FOR YOUR INFO I HAVE LARGE PRINT OWING TO MY EYESIGHT. AS FOR WE, WELL WE (THE FAMILY) OWN THE SHARES NOT JUST ME. MOST OF THE COMMENTS BORE US (NOT ALL) SO WE THOUGHT WE MAY JUST AS WELL BORE YOU AS WELL, AS WE ALL KNOW FOR SOME REASON WE JUST KEEP LOSING MONEY. AS FOR THE COST OF SELLING 500 SHARES I EXPECT PEOPLE JUST WANT RID OF THEM , SOME BROKERS DO NOT CHARGE COMMISSION IF THE VALUE IS VERY LOW. THOSE OF YOU WHO CANNOT REASON WHY THEY KEEP GOING DOWN ARE PERFECTLY CORRECT. THERE IS SOMETHING MUCH DEEPER GOING ON. I HAVE BEEN BUYING SHARES FOR NEARLY 60 YRS AND THESE DAYS THERE IS NO UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS GOING ON. PERHAPS FUTURES, OPTIONS, SPREAD BETTING ETC ARE CAUSING THE FALL. SHARE TRADING IS NO LONGER BASED ON A COMPANIES VALUE AND FUTURE PROSPECTS. IT IS A GAMBLERS DELIGHT THESE DAYS BY PUSHING STOCK UP AND DOWN WITH DEALS THAT DO NOT REFLECT A COMPANIES VALUE. DONT FORGET THE CHINESE WALL HAS HOLES IN IT IN PLACES. WHILE YOU HAVE A KNOCK AT ME YOU ARE NOT KNOCKING SOMEONE ELSE OFF TO DO SOME REAL STOCK TRADING NOW.

NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE REPORTED SHARE DEALS, AS WE QUADRUPLED OUR HOLDING IN ANOTHER PENNY STOCK BUT THE DEAL NEVER SHOWED UP ON TRADES REPORTED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. WE OFFERED TO BUY A FIXED AMOUNT AT A FIXED PRICE THAT THE STOCK HAD JUST BEEN SOLD AT. WE HAD OUR DEAL CONFIRMED BY OUR STOCKBROKER BUT OUR PURCHASE NEVER APPEARED ON THE TRADES. YET OTHER PURCHASES BY OTHER PEOPLE AT A HIGHER PRICE LATER IN THE AFTERNOON WERE SHOWN.

WE ARE WONDERING WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE OIL PRICE ONCE THEY MAKE US USE ELECTRIC CARS? ALSO WE HAVE SEEN NO MENTION OF THE COST TO CHARGE THE ELECTRIC CARS, (DO NOT KNOW ANY ONE WHO HAS ONE), IS IT STANDARD THROUGH THE COUNTRY AND WHO OPERATES THOSE ELECTRIC MACHINES WE SHALL HANG ON TO OUR TRADITIONAL CARS AS LONG AS POSSIBLE AS WE HAVE AN OVERHAUL DISTANCE OF OVER 1500 MILES ON OUR JOURNEY TO AND FROM THE FAR NORTH COAST IN SCOTLAND TO OUR FAMILY IN DEVON, IT WOULD PUT A HELL OF A LOT OF TIME TO OUR JOURNEY IF THEY ONLY RUN FOR UP TO 200 MILES ON A SINGLE CHARGE. THEY WILL HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF CHARGING POINTS IN THE FORECOURTS SO ALL THE VEHICLES CAN CHARGE FOR UP TO AN HOUR. WONDERING HOW THEY WILL RECOUP THE LOST FUEL TAX. FROM THE POOR WE EXPECT RATHER THAN THOSE WHO STRUGGLE TO HAVE 3 HOLIDAY'S A YEAR AND SEND THEIR KIDS TO PRIVATE SCHOOL. THANK GOODNESS WE ARE AT OUR ADVANCED AGE RATHER THAN BEING YOUNG.

SEEING MACHINES IS ANOTHER DOG WE OWN WHICH ALSO HAS LOST US THE BEST PART OF A GRAND AND IS SUPPOSED TO BE A REALLY GOOD COMPANY WITH A BRIGHT FUTURE. WE HAVE BOUGHT A NUMBER OF PENNY STOCKS AND LUCKILY SOME OF THE OTHERS DID VERY WELL AND COVERED THESE LOSSES. WE HAVE SOLD THE WINNERS AND MY ALSO NOW SELL THE LOSERS TO LEAVE US JUST IN FRONT THEN WE WILL JUST INVEST IN INVESTMENT TRUSTS WHO SPECIALISE IN VERY SMALL COMPANIES AS THOSE ITs WE HAVE IN OUR PORTFOLIO ARE IN PROFIT AND IT STOPS US WASTING TIME SEARCHING FOR THESE LITTLE COMPANIES. WITH ITs YOU DO GET A GOOD SPREAD OF COMPANIES. WE FOUND SUCCESS IN ITs WHO INVEST WORLD WIDE IN SMALL AND EMERGING NATIONS. THE OLD SAYING OF IF A COMPANY DROPS 10% GET OUT AS YOUR FIRST LOSS IS USUALLY YOUR SMALLEST LOSS!!!

IS THERE A REASON TO SELL AT THIS PRICE? IF YOU FEEL THE COMPANY WILL JUST COLLAPSE OR GO PRIVATE YOU WOULD BE BEST OFF SELLING. HOWEVER WE MAY BE TEMPTED TO SELL AS WE CAN SEE BETTER OPPORTUNITIES ELSEWHERE, WHILE WE ARE ONLY LOSING JUST UNDER A GRAND. THEN IF IT DOES GO A LOT LOWER COME BACK IN. i SOLD ANOTHER STOCK WHEN IT LOST 75% OF OUR MONEY, THEN ABOUT THREE MONTHS AFTER SELLING THE PRICE WENT UP BY 10 TIMES, WHICH IS WHY IT MAY BE BETTER TO STAY IN THIS ONE I DID SAY WHEN IT WAS 1.7P IT CANNOT FALL A LOT FURTHER. SO AT WHAT PRICE DO YOU ALL THINK IT WILL GO DOWN TOO BEFORE PEOPLE DO BUY AND PUSH THE PRICE UP. MY GUESS IS O.5P NOW LETS HAVE SOME COMMENTS FROM YOU ALL AND ESTIMATES OF WHERE THE PRICE WILL GO TO. AS THERE IS SOMETHING VERY FISHY ABOUT THE PRICE IF THE COMPANY IS AS GOOD AS MOST OF YOU THINK. WE SUPPOSE IT COULD GO PRIVATE IN THE AIM OF GETTING YOUR SHARES FOR NEXT TO NOTHING!

Love Harhoo and their confidence. By things improving do you mean the price will not drop quite so much this month? I used to keep buying another stock as it went down and down and down. Then thought what am i doing and got out. Since getting out last year the share price has quadroupled. gotta beleive!!!!

Fail to understand it. I am a gambler but only bet on things that are real. You woud be safer betting on Ludo or snakes and Ladders.

Another one of our dogs. We bought it to have gold in our holdings just incase there is a major drop in the ftse As for Tanzania who can tell, they could take over the companies in the country, however they may come to their senses and not be greedy. Fear the worse and it can only get better. May buy �500 worth just in case it goes ok. but NO more.

Market up oil up but Hyd still keeps going down.At least it only has 1.5p to lose now. As we said before when it gets to 0.5 we will buy another 80k. Think you may be correct in saying managment are no good at selling a good product.

As i said before when this share was 1.7p, it can only go down 1.7p and it is heading this way. People were saying a couple of weeks ago just wait for the results and it will bounce up. Well we have the results and it has bounced, BUT down. When it reaches 0.5p I may buy some more to even out my costs in the vague hope at that price some of the big boys will buy it and it goes back to 2p when i will be gone. Why I did not sell at 2p is beyound me. Think I feel if I do then it will have some sort of good news and jump up. HOWEVER IT IS A DOG A REAL MONEY LOSER. However i buy stocks out of favour and have stopped selling when they fail after one i finally got rid of went up 10 fold and would have given me a good profit. So I will continue with hope more than confidence.

We keep reading from those who hold stock saying how cheap it is and 4p is a fair price for it in the hope it will increase (Oh how i wish it would go to 4p). However when there is good news those with big holdings sell out to cut their losses. This then results in the price going down to a lower level than it was before the good news emerged. We have stopped buying when the price goes down as it seems a hopless cause. However we will hang on to the shares we hold as it may go up in a few years time!!!!! WE DO THINK IT WILL NOT DROP MORE THAN ANOTHER 1.7P!!!! . so we do know what our maximum losses will be!!!! We will keep it as our bogey.

We are back in at 120p decent div, people still have a bet and the Football season is starting so there must be some growth in the share price, I hope.

We are still thinking of increasing our holdings in company although we are running a loss. They should be making enough money with the ancient busses they run in the far north of scotland. Even allowing for all the accidents and wheels falling off. Their idea of routes in the far north is very poor, bringing a new man from the south who cut out the third largest place in the north from having a direct link to Inverness. when pointed out a a meeting just after he arrived he had no idea about Halkirk being the third largest. They have lost customers who used to use the bus frequently to Inverness since now having to change buses.. Ironically the new direct route via Castletown has very few and often no passengers on it.until Wick. Hopefully they are doing ok in the large towns. The share price is low and could easily add 20 - 25% to it. So may buy some more.
