Cuddothisnow:Perhaps you imagine this is what Rich People, say LOL. They do NOT. Buffett is famous for buying cars hit by hailstones to get a better price, using old black & white photos on his website, etc. Paul Getty had a payphone installed for guests & It was a very rich Chancellor of England who made the 'Look after the Pennies...' remark.

n 2017 the Company revised its Remuneration Policy and made related amendments to the rules of its Long-Term Incentive Plan (�LTIP�) in order to increase the vesting and performance period to five years (from three years) and change the type of awards to nil-cost options (�options�). These changes were approved by Acacia�s shareholders at the 2017 AGM. The vesting of each option award is subject to the assessment of the Company�s TSR performance against the constituents of the EMIX (formerly Euromoney Global Gold Index) over the five year performance period. No options will vest if Acacia�s TSR is below the median TSR of the Index constituents over that period and Acacia�s TSR must outperform the median TSR of the Index constituents by 50% in order for 100% of the options to vest. The market value of each award is determined by reference to the sum of the middle market quotation of an Acacia share over the five days prior to the date of grant, equal to 148.46 pence per Acacia share as of 26 February 2018. Keynes used to say:- 'In the Long Term we are all dead'

The clever thing about telling the truth is no one believes you :) I am 74% down on the ACA I have left - I feel it is heading the way of other worthless duds, with a store of Eldorado Fake News, I have held, like Angel & Central Rand Gold. I sold off most of my ACA at 250p. ACA is NOT my Idea of Risk-on Arbitrage, I prefer ITV, South32 & Spire, my side bets on M&A. Like Pop, my ideal holding period is forever, as I have said before, you can take my Tesco shares off my corpse. I am not a Daytrader nor is Pop. You my friend, are a bit delusional. Short Activity is 0.5% nothing compared with many Blue Chips - Morrisons & SBRY for example, 9/10%.

Best to continue to sit on the fence till after the vote - look out for splinters in your bum :)

A plonker like you worked for Buffett - Ha, Ha, Ha. Pop would be interested in ACA - LOL. A good book for Novices is The Warren Buffett Way. I hold ACA shares & I tell it as I see it. Where's your ridiculous friend, Daddy Big Bucks with his absurd claims to be buying 10,000 shares at a time? Our Gold is inside TZ, can we sell it? NO. H2 decision is 6 mths away. Whistle a happy tune by all means...

I see how you come up with 400p a share - 300% rise on the current SP might be too much for peeps to swallow. On Planet Earth, what's REALLY scheduled to happen in the next 6 months, according to the latest RNS?? Er... nothing. ALL your 'Strong Buys' have sent the SP into freefall - perhaps you could try a 'Strong Sell' instead :)

Warren dosn't bet on short term movements in SP or markets and neither do I. He would have sold on the 1st hint of chicanery by the GOTZ, regardless of loss. Asleep at the wheeI, I only managed to sell half belatedly, at 250p - I couldn't believe Barrack would let us be mugged & sold down the river. So take the Hit - Sell for something or watch ACA SP drift in freefall, with no dividend, as tales of 'deals' in H2, 6 months plus time, abound. Some choice :(

Trying to make sense of this discussion. Buffett never 'Shorts' - but all sane investors acknowledge the usefull fuction Hedge funds play in making an efficient Market. They are often a 'Canary in the Coal-mine' warning of danger, perhaps years ahead. Presumably you know ALL stockmarket investment is gambling based on speculation?The invisible army of Shorters is a fiction existing only in your fevered imaginations -the figure is 0.5% out on loan, as I have said many times.

DrownedAtSea: Apart from a Grammar course, what is on your Watchlist, if anything? Perhaps you would favor us with some reasons, for disliking Tesco, rather than prejudices that stretch back decades. We have enough of that ill-informed tosh from WWT.

Barrie Seymour, a Londis retailer in Yorkshire, sees consolidation as a logical market development, in which independent retailers benefit from the multiples� buying power, while the multiples get to bypass investing in bricks and mortar. �It�s a no-brainer for Tesco - they�re just supplying boxes, there�s no overheads or costs associated with buying more stores,� he explains. �But by supplying independents it�s giving more power to us rather than spreading shoppers� spend around more thinly. All the supermarket store openings haven�t done the industry any good. Aldi and Lidl are opening up here all the time, and online�s not helping either.� Nimal Navaratnarajah, owner of five Costcutter stores in Devon and Cornwall, agrees that consolidation is mutually beneficial to retailer and supplier. �Supermarkets have changed from trying to expand their store presence to moving into supply now. Instead of opening new stores they�re letting others do the donkey work, which is a good thing. It gives us more power to trade while they work behind the scenes,�

We are in the hands of Gangsters who 'Lose' packets of diamonds from other miners... TZ actions are illegal according to International Law - YES or NO??? BigBucks claims to now have 110, 000 shares in this crock - I do, I DO believe in Fairies - but NOBODY could be that stupid. Idiots who talk about Short interest - can look up Short Tracker - 0.5% & 1 firm last time I looked.

Tanzania have seized the 3 mines in TZ & the output. Negotiating starting point would have to acknowledge TZ have acted illegally & contrary to international Law. I expect this when Hell Freezes.

DrowningNotWaving:You were probable out on your rollerskates, in short trousers, in May 1984, when home shopper, Mrs. Jane Snowball, purchased groceries from her local Tesco store in the world's first recorded online shopping transaction from the home. As of November 2006, Tesco was the only food retailer to make Online shopping profitable.

NO - 0.5% total Shorts & only 1 holder.

SuperBuy:Would it be the few mugs left in here or Barrick who own 63%, who revolt against ACA BOD decisions?

BigBangs: I'm afraid to STILL have 100,000 shares in this crock would just label you a complete idiot. Assets worth 1.5 billion??? who said that??? When Elvis returns on a Flying Saucer?

One man's Living Wage raise is another man's job loss... We should all beware of Chancellors bearing gifts that cost them nothing - Labor's latest idiocy is that 'Rich' Landlords MUST allow tenants to keep pets, paying the increased costs themselves.

Yeah - Big Brother will decide - we don't count at all. As for the infrastructure BS, ACA have put a mint into TZ before the current punitive & ridiculous Super Assets/Shares/Taxes grab. When I sold previously at 250p, I bought into STOB, a British company who pay divs 4 times a year & whose SP has moved UP about 30%. I think this bid situation may go on till some of us are in our graves - our only hope from TZ's Little Hitler, "I have no more territorial demands to make' - Some Hope !

- & 3.4% div. was removed a couple of days ago :( I may get real & settle for 200p if 'greater fool' bounce unfolds next week...

2.50p would be fine by me - thats what it was 6-8 months ago when I sold half my stock before the SP tanked & I could sell the other half. Fine words butter no parsnips, altho we have a plethora of them from the usual suspects, plenty of HOPE & Jam Tomorrow. Big Brother who speaks on our behalf, in the most peculiar arrangement in mining history, has nowt to say to us supposed shareholders directly. The whole business stinks. Old Mutual is an insurance business NOT a mine - which as we all know, is a big hole with a liar at the top.
