I had heard it was rubbish now like face book.
Why can you not have a decent chat room that does not have those above which I noted. So I will take your suggestions and avoid it.

Does it makes any difference to the share overall with just a few talking the SP down. Just how many people actually read these posts on here?
I appreciate some also write on Twitter where I believe a hell of a lot use it. Twitter is something I have but do not use, because, ok have a laugh, I am not sure how to use it. There must be millions of subjects on twitter, so where do you start? I will have another look when I get time and may use it. After all after Jeannette's death I managed to get use to the mobile phone thanks a lot to my daughter. I have used word and spreadsheets for years so Twitter can not be that hard to use, after all a lot of 5 year olds do it!!!
I had to get myself back in to the real world after Jeannette's death . Now I appear to over done it with various things I have started to do clashing. Plus I am taking on the local football clubs accounts, as I am the only one who understands accounts and I shall be playing indoor bowls in the autumn.
I no longer research shares as there are so many things that you do not know when researching. After all when a big company suddenly drops because of hidden nasties, what chance do you have with small companies. The small amount of available cash I have to invest it will just go on sections that have dropped, buying in to I.Ts who operate in that sector.
Ah well now you can get back to the real world. Take care all, off to Wick and Wetherspoons before it closes.

MATWALK should have been added

Spot on

Thank you all for your posts, which are appreciated.
Sorry I miss-read the one post.
As for the BOD, I am not saying they are good by suggesting LEAP was possibly held longer to increase its value, just offering a reason it had not been sold.
I usually read all the posts with interest and take in their comments as you are never too old to learn.
Any one else on here used to have their electricity from SSE until they joined up with OVO who are trying to use a grossly over estimated reading to calculate my account. They even sent a lady to read my meter on 25/7/2022 but still use the over estimated reading. I read my meter at 7 am each day and the computer calculates the units used, along with the average daily and annual cost so I know what I should be paying each month. Something that has worked correctly for about 40 years, giving both me and SSE the correct amount I need to pay monthly. They keep asking me to have a smart meter and I keep telling them I have one "ME"
Ah well it give me something to complain about. take care all of you. I do remember you all as a group in my evening prayers whether you want me to or not.

When did Doggo say he is close to me? it is the first I have heard of it, I wish to point out I do not know anyone on here personally. Should someone post anything I like / agree with I go along with them and disagree with them if I do not like what they say.
So long as people are polite they are entitled to view their opination's, regardless as to whether the rest agree or not.
I do not like the lack of information from the BOD but holding Leap as it grows appears to be a good thing, but there comes a time when taking your profit is wise.

IF IT IS SOLD FOR A DECENT PRICE THE CASH RECEIVED COULD PUSH US UP, CERTAINLY TO THE 15P RANGE. No one really has given a value to Leap or knows it outside the inner sanctum . We criticise the BOD as we do not get told anything (which is wrong) and a lot just want out. However the BOD may just be doing the right thing, if we had the facts. Leap is surely worth a lot more than two years ago when we wanted it disposed of, so holding on to it as it grows looks like the correct thing to do. The rest of the portfolio is reasonably strong and could well grown to great heights over time. Leaps cash must not be invested immediately but held until suitable opportunities occur.
As for selling when Leap is disposed of, we will only get a decent price for our shares if there are people buying it at the higher price. Only time will tell.

With no investment from them how can you expect people to invest in Seed. This may be the one big thing hold Seed back. We know they cannot buy at certain times, but they have had plenty of chances to buy. What do they do but SELL the relations holding. It really is worrying. Do they care about ordinary shareholders who have invested a lot of money in them.

Think you are correct, investing in Seed most of us have already lost it!!!!!!!!!
I still have faith we will come out smiling, eventually. Even with Leap's current valuation, the NAV is above what most of us have as an average invested.
Our investment in Seed has been written off by us. However it will surprise us all in the not so distant future, just hope the meeting shreds some good news, we deserve it. Be honest it is not just Leap, the other companies will grow and grow, then people will realise they missed a massive opportunity.Still think we need health/wellness in the companies title.

As I said I did use to work free lance on the course as a clerk and floorman (laying off bets, checking the % etc watching price alterations.) Think all those I knew 30 years ago have gone. Worked on about 56 courses and at the end stopped doing derby day, I had to be there at 7am to get parked and it was not worth the hassle. Did stand on the rails for a bookie and considered buying a pitch but they were so expensive. Favourite meeting was Cartmel and Chester May meeting. You can turn up as a reserve but you were at the end of the line and struggled to take enough cash. Overheads were not cheap either and on a wet/cold winter Monday or Friday the crowd's were sparse at times, especially at small meetings. It all looks good and those with good pitches were OK but it took years to move up the line.
As for beating the Bookie, funny enough since my Jeannette went to heaven I have been looking at the results. I used to lay odds on favourites on the course by going slightly over the odds which could be profitable. There are sites on the web were you can lay horses etc. but I think you have to go over the odds to lay them, however you are saving by not having to travel to the course or pay entrance fees. May just try just laying the 1st fav (not over 7-4) and the second fav. If you back Favs who are 7-2 or bigger you can just about win over a year. One black country book maker just laid the Odds on fav when there was one and it was just one long column in his book.
My grandfather was involved with gambling and lived in Cattell Rd Small Heath, by the Blues ground in the 1910s, Peaker blinders territory and told me about gangs there. My other Grandfather was a member of the IRA army that fought for separation. So a lot has rubbed off on to me my dear wife used to say. I may add I was NOT an IRA supporter in the troubles. After all my Step mother was a Proddy and My father a Popeist. At my fathers death they gathered in separate rooms at the wake, talk about the song the "Orange and the Green".
Still it is all water under the bridge now and my brain has worn out with calculations.

Sorry clicked to post before I checked it. that is age for you. 4-6 times should read a YEAR.
Now I do disagree with the fact no one gambles for fun. Yes the majority do gamble to win but people who never bet do so on the Grand national etc. just for fun and do not expect to win, just to make the race more interesting.

When running betting shops before I moved to the course the morning bet's were 75% yankee's or 3 some's. Had a posh chap turn up in the shop for a big race about 4-6 times a tear with a carrier bag of old white £5 notes he bet on a long odds horse. Never saw him have a win. Been out the business for 25 years plus now and rarely bet. My grandfather was one of the first to get a bookmakers licence when it was legalised late 50s. £100 the licence cost.

It is I said when things are bad and people have no money they will invest pennies in the hope of a big win and these pennies mount up, forget the big punters the profit comes from the small punter who in the past had 6 doubles 4 trebles and a roll up on 4 horses/ dogs. Yes I saw the odd win, one of over a grand 60 years ago but the regular inflow off set losses this, for Leap they do not even have to pay out as such they just supply the thing to bet on. All Leap have to do is get their games on as many sites as possible. Thing is you eventually run out of sites, so sell before they do.
Now I have not got a clue what an IPO or sale will bring in.
Still like a name change to include wellness/ health.
but then what do I know in this modern world.

There must be a potential buyer in the back ground willing to pay 4.15p for a lot, with all this selling which in itself shows confidence from some one.

would finish seed off. Have to have some one to pick up the unsold ones which may be hard to get one.

The portfolio overall is doing ok, yet no one wants to know. I still think a change of name to include Wellness / Health would not go amiss.
Tried the contact given to send questions for the meeting but it did not open up to let me send a question.

Back in the 1930s when the recession caused a lot of unemployment betting actually increased as people thought it may be a chance to get some money with a big win.

Does some one know something nasty that we do not?
Will we have any shareholders with a large holding left, hope the September meeting reveals something encouraging.
No buyers even at this price, it is getting serious.

Open an account elsewhere, I use IWEB (Halifax) who charge £5 per trade. Then you can buy Seed.

Buy buy buy you hopefully will treble your money or more.
