If you listen to podcasts, I can highly recommend the Northern Miner podcast (apparently sponsored by something called the Yukon Mining Alliance). Very good and sane macro stories, interviews with quality people like Mickey Fulp, etc. Excellent general podcast on junior resource investing. I do keep thinking of Northern Exposure when I listen to it, though ...

Certainly on AIM you wouldn't have reported a threshold crossing due to dilution. However Standard List may be tighter, plus the FCA expect to receive TR1 as well as the company (its only to the co on AIM) My guess is Pere gave them a nudge (as Pere can't write their tr1 for them) so as to keep everything squeaky clean and transparent. Gosh and that's the most excitement we've had here all week, I need to hide under a dark cloth now!!

I don't know if this is a pure coincidence, but Peter Gyllenhammar (who owns 10% of HAWK) has just announced he's taken a 14.95% in #RRR Red Rock Resources coincident with this bounce in the HAWK Sp. I wonder if people are putting two and two together and coming up with some theory for HAWK? I don't follow HAWK so would appreciate any insights into Peter Gyllenhammar that people may have, based on your experience of him here.

Did you know that you have 4 miles of tubing in your stomach?

No I was referring to the stream of consciousness text you quoted. You're english is fine, it's just your obsession with Andrew and a desire to spin anything you can think of in the most doom-laden fashion that gets rather tiring. You're not winning the board prize for Tedious Repetition though, that goes to the swotty one with the dysfunctional pocket calculator :)

We need time team. There's a fragment of the English language there ... possibly ...

I guess that means there will be a lot of stockpiled coal now at Rosa ...

£1.3m in total for the UKOG sales, still retain the majority of the HHDL shares to ride any major upside success, ker-ching!!!

Spooky ..

"Pembridge Resources @PembridgeRes London Stock Exchange-listed natural resource exploration and development company focused on base and precious metals." Seems OK now

If you don't learn to adapt and just blame anything other than yourself for your own personal actions, you'll be stuck on the wrong side of AUM trades and you'll lose money like most new AIM investors do - most who then leave the market to be replaced by new. Only by learning and adapting do we survive and prosper, and blaming others ain't gonna help you there. We will now sing Hymn number 423 which will be followed by an exit collection (cash or certificates stock only please) and then a slap-up sausage and gravy lunch in the hall.

Frank - there's different types of investment one can make in a company. Sometimes it's directly financial (a long / short position). Sometimes it's more indirect (paid to talk about the company, either officially or less so, by other parties with an interest). And then there's emotional investment - sometimes relatively benign in the form of a genuine interest in the narrative of the company, or because there's an enjoyable social element to discussing that company. Sometimes it's less positive though, where stock investors understandably - most of us are human, after all - want to try to make ourselves feel better over our past personal investment decisions that went wrong ("it's not my fault, it's that wicked CEO, he made me invest!!!!), or try to keep a cheery face despite the ship going down ("It'll come good, I know it will, I don't need to tell the wife just yet"). Therefore you can understand failed investors who are sitting on big losses not wanting to disclose their current or historic holdings and we should respect that. It's a tad embarrassing to say you only have a couple of hundred quid of stock left, I see that. As a tip, when I've made trades that went against me I don't leave the rump of the position live. I sell it. If nothing else you really don't need the reminder of your error on your portfolio as it can niggle away at you emotionally, meaning that you end up expending time on it (an act that will make you no financial gain and is thus economic madness) and doesn't help you emotionally. Take it on the chin, learn something from every trade, but move on - and with that you'll slowly but surely become a better investor than the people your competing against, and you'll start to be on the right side of trades increasingly often. If you don't learn and adapt - wh

This is priceless. Zumore and Mystic Meg have been banging on negatively about YA this, YA that, ever since had deal was struck. Now part of that YA deal has been repaid with cash from the profit of a blindingly good UKOG trade, it's now: " I doubt anyone sold out thinking that YA were converting" Lol. Bless. Which means one of two things. Either MrM / Zumore were deliberately winding people up over YA when they knew it wouldn't actually affect market sentiment, or else MrM now realises no one is paying attention to what he says. You've said YA was A Bag Thing. Getting rid of chunks of YA is thus - by normal logic if not yours - A Good Thing. Yes?

I haven't signed up because I just use RNSalert (free,v efficient). But I'll mention that and the prospectus thing to DL when I next see him.

It was necessary to get the listing sorted before they crack on with more DD and finalising the first acquisition target. That inevitably means a bit of a hiatus between listing and first deal - which fortunately has coincided with the low volume dog days of summer. As we move into autumn we should now restart the material newsflow, which will be good timing from our perspective - no point wasting good RNSes over the summer when everyone is on the beach and switched off. I'm picking up dribs and drabs in my ISA while we're still at these quiet lows, and then as the autumn season starts properly we should hopefully kick into action. There's been a bull market in the resource majors for 12-18 months now, and juniors always lag behind because of the trickle-down effect of JVs, buy outs and sentiment. That's now gone on long enough and you're starting to see the next phase as the juniors start their bull run. That does mean PERE is now ideally placed - although as they say in the rns, the window of opportunity to buy assets on the cheap is rapidly closing. Crack on!

A bit like one of those blokes in the 1960's, wandering around London with a sandwich board, "The End is Nigh!" Strangely that never happened and we're a lot richer these days. That's the trouble being a "troll with a grudge", you can make all these fantasy predictions of doom, but you then look a bit of a muppet when the opposite takes place....

"You mean he hasn't used it to pay down that $1m Convertible Loan Note with Yorkville ?! Surely that would be the best thing for shareholders interests . . " Indeed it would be the best thing, and Andrew has stuck to his word and done exactly that. YA have behaved impeccably (as Andrew said they would) and despite the current SP being below the fixed conversion price, they made no attempts to convert. People said YA would convert, Andrew said they wouldn't, Andrew was correct. People said Andrew wouldn't pay off the TA load with the UKOG money, he has. You can sling as much mud as you like at Andrew but on these points he's stuck to his word and delivered.
