CapnHornblower - You have broken Rules Numbered 1 and 2:

1) Do not put all your eggs in one basket.

2) With a sizeable sum, don't be greedy -DIVERSIFY SECTORS.

You - TheBasher - have dared to use the 'T' word which we all know will bring down the wrath of heaven on any AIM stock.

I hope you were joking!

Reckon holders here sold to get into better movers. Understandable. I keep the faith for now but not buying more!

Totally unfit to be an Investment Manager. Best thing he could do is find a youngster with a bit of experience and take a back seat with a modest pension.

My 6000 won't budge until the sp reflects the potential,

.... might well come with a 13 in front of it!

Senor Simoes' plan to simplify the structure of LGEN should save significant money in the medium term, but will take time. This is a giant ship and moves at a rather 'stately' pace.

...holding my breath on this one (or any other of my speccies, for that matter). Delighted if you are proved correct but too old in the tooth to let this move me too much either way.

My thought exactly, vampirekitten. Likely merger talks and possible new status as a mini conglomerate thanks to a forthcoming Placing and Open Offer possibly combined with a change of name (European Mining?)

Don't get too excited Manycats3. This could go either way and could also be doing very little for years to come. I have been self investing for over 60 years and do hold here but its only a speculative position. Most of every prudent investors' savings should be in safer and more boring companies paying decent dividends and with reasonable growth prospects.

This is now somewhat later than in recent years and my suspicion is that FIPP know at least one of our investments is about to release some earth-shattering great news and they would rather be ahead than behind this! Either that, or they are in bid talks, which I rather doubt.

We might do better if someone popped up a 'For Sale' sign,

including on two well-used Ferraris!

Very useful, bumpingalong. Looks like the Chinese Govt have pulled the plug on Hebei, which would mean we would have a useless right of action and should get back into Tant Valley ASAP.

This does not mean a quick remedy because even an auction will take time and we just might decide to keep it for development ourselves. Ho hum!

...but shares still drift. Don't seem to reflect that the Budget has done nothing to lower business rates which adds to the further closures in the High Streets. And so our dependence on buying stuff online just gathers more steam, which is more jam for SHED shares. If they continue their fall, I shall get some more cash ready to average down, but not yet. Sanity might prevail!

If like me you hold these in an ISA and are, like me, being told that your provider will sell them once the GM result means they lose their AIM quote, you should know that Jarvis X-O Accounts (which, luckily, I already had) do accept transfers in of ASX quoted shares.

...these hit 2p and I might think about selling. Until then zzzzzzzzz.

Yep!! The Donald Effect!!

...is that if any insurer is going to get a takeout, it will be this one. Large property interests might also persuade them to sell some. Still, yield considerations make them a hold for now.

...using this political time-wasting to present the next Parliament with a fait accompli.

Perhaps he actually is but he is not telling us and he seems to be the type who likes a pat on the head from those supposedly in charge!

Attention Span well and truly lost!

Dennis is waiting so that we get our RNS as a Christmas present -lets hope!!
