Why have they used a mealy-mouthed expression like “mobilised to site” when they could more easily have said “has arrived on site”, which is clear and unambiguous?

Yes, you shills always make it personal and never discuss the companies, you just make spurious forecasts of how much money mugs may make if they follow you. I suspect that the person who’ll be most surprised if Turkey gushes will be Mr. Sanderson. Or maybe the bloke in Texas who fills his Chairman’s statement with gripes about the UK oil and gas regulatory system, when he should be filling it with apologies for the abysmal performance of the overpaid Board of which he is Chairman.

Insidious: it took me a while to work that out, and I know roughly what I’m doing.

AIM is part of the LSE. It has a thick rule book. It’s overseen by the FCA. Investors are entitled to assume that where there are rules, they will be applied and enforced. Misleading or absent information from company managements, transparent (to people in the know) pump and dumps, ramps before placings, selling of placing shares before a placing is announced, favours for management friends, shills everywhere on chat boards, complicity of chat board management in misinformation through removing dissenting posters, no sanctions at all for breaking the rules - the rotten list goes on and on. Even the Government winks at it - his failure in his role at the FCA to do anything about enforcing the law and the regulations should have excluded the current Governor of the BofE from consideration for the job.

It took me a while to realise what goes on. It’s not just a casino, it’s a thoroughly rigged one. Small investors should avoid it like the plague, they’ll get fleeced most of the time. They’d do better on the horses. An outstanding disgrace and a thoroughgoing embarrassment to London as an honest global financial centre.

Insidious, you’re right. What did investors expect? Everyone knows that AIM is there to enrich its NoMads, brokers, PR firms and member company Boards of Directors, what? Investors are fair game. Caveat Emptor! Haw haw! Good show. And any expedient to con mug punters out of their hard earned pension money etc. is acceptable. The meaner and less scrupulous, the more to be applauded. Capitalism at its best. Survival of the fittest, what? Absolutely.

Hylda. Hylda Baker.

Ibug: did you just hit a raw nerve? I filtered him two or three days ago but he’s re-appeared.

Penguins, did you know the refinery is at Batman?

gkb47: it seems you’re right! I heard it said (of a third party) by a girl in the early 80’s and she’d barely been out of Essex, other than to the Balearics. The water in Majorca don’t taste like what it ought’a. Innit? (It’s innit to win it, innit? I get confused). No Ozzy, I’m not anti-Essex girls, she was extremely attractive and bright, or so she seemed to me, as a boy. If I’d been old enough, I think I’d have asked her out.

Phew, dodged one there, what?

gkb47: I’ve only ever heard it from the mouths of Essex people but don’t know a lot of Lancastrians, I admit. Perhaps the expression enjoys wider currency that I’d thought.. I’d better watch out, though, Ozzy may have a thing about big girls and/or their blouses, don’t want to cause offence.

Trollhunter: “Director interests are now aligned with share holders with their share buy plan so it's in their own interests to get it as high as possible and reduce dilution from here on.
It's also no dilution if its genuine investment to raise future profits / capital and expand the enterprise globally!!!”

Directors’ interests will be aligned with shareholders’ once they’ve bought significant numbers of shares and as long as they don’t pay themselves an increased salary or bonus to compensate them.

And of course it’s dilution. It could go into an investment handbook alongside the definition of “dilution”. If they’d borrowed money to finance such projects, that wouldn’t be dilution. Though it would be imprudent. Or impossible.

HITS: ROFL.

Wizard: they’re in Turkey to justify the continuing payment of large sums in salary to the CEO. He had to do something. Once they’ve had the next equity capital raise, there will be about 20bn. shares in issue. That’s about enough, once sold, for a Smartie for every one of the world’s population.

Ozzy: I don’t speak much Essex or Estuary English, but you appear to me to be what people who live in such places call “a big girl’s blouse”. I don’t know whether the “big” refers to the girl or the blouse, but even so.. what was it that you didn’t like?

Ingratitude, thy name is Ozzy 22.

HITS: How about “The Longest Day”? Any scene featuring an ensemble that includes the German general with the limp?

gkb47: I’d like to, really. He really does need to get some self-respect but it must be in short supply at Chiswick, what? These companies seem to be refuges for the morally bankrupt, don't they?

HITS: I’ve only ever filtered anyone once, but I’m about to do so with the drivelling shill calling himself “Lucky-Strike”. I simply can’t be bothered any more to scroll up past his endless streams of repetitive and misleading guff. What a way to earn a living.

gkb47: yes, it’s very good, isn’t it? I particularly liked the bit where he asks three of them to stay and orders the others back to the boiler room.

Ozzy22: “Ocelot, or maybe he's just possibly a lieing toad...”

Lying toad, surely?

Is he left-handed?
