no news => SP drift
people begin to second guess themselves
bearish posts appear, shareholders try to justify their sales by getting other to agree / recommend their posts
still no news - 'can't be good news' / 'is it as good as I thought it could be?' thoughts chip away at confidence
SP goes down on small volume.

It's easy to have SP drift in these conditions. To maintain confidence go back to fundamentals - what's ACTUALLY changed since last RNS? WHY did you first invest in the company? What has changed? Anything?

Stay Strong!

@dvh - ofc it happens, but with a company at this stage the probability is low - imo, who knows, lets not have a heated debate. haha

share placing with retail investors - unlikely.

the reason for it is that the compliance issues and therefore the expense make it very unlikely with AIM listed shares and marketcaps this small. You only have to listen to other CEOs and this is the most common reason for the private placings. Also because it's likely you might just get investors that could enable an eventual takeover.

It's always good to see profits been taken on the way up:
> because it's good people are making money; but more importantly
> because there are NEW LONGS entering at this level which helps to build strong foundations on the way up.

okay.

Shame there was nothing about the LAB - unless I missed it. Better interview for sure and definite signs that AG was guiding him before and during the interview.

What I took away most was the guys honesty - how many CEOs do you hear admitting to having made a mistake - restored my trust in the guy. Well done CB.

The whole thing was just a lot clearer than the interview published yesterday.

I don't know about another interview next week - I seemed to have missed the arguments about that.

BUT for sure CB could do with some media training.

well...I've been called worse, so thanks.

Just going through my end of the day YouTube channels roundup and 'THE' interview popped up again - so had another look.

Perhaps because I've had a whole day to reflect and digest, but listening back to it many hours later I do see more of the optimism I missed this morning.

Perhaps it's not the end of the world after all....lol

**entity's days will be numbered...

I can't help but feel that if/when we have a proven resource here it's probably a prime takeover target by one or both of our partners. Once the final tidying-up exercise has been done wrt to Uruguay activities has been completed I think this entities will be numbered.

@happyhaddock - wisdom is knowing you know less everyday.

@happyhaddock - that's very true. I have a lot of author friends and all their friends are writers and they all follow each other everywhere (twitter fb etc etc) and they're the most out of touch insular group I know and they never understand why their books don't do better - because everyone they know loves everything they write. Surprise Surprise...

Lots of good discussion today guys.

I haven't sold but understand people may have - there are lots of different reasons to buy and sell - that's a market.

Given the share turnover in the last couple of weeks I would not be surprised if some large strategic stakes have been built up and secretly squirrelled away...to be revealed at a later date.

I'm happy to bottom drawer these (as another poster put it) and forget about it now until the next RNS - everything else is far too subjective.

I think this little pullback might be the last chance before the upward momentum builds to 30p. so topped again just now.

You have to read these results and project onto the next ones.

STOCKBOX said they were going to release the interview once CB had approved.

Honestly, had I watched that interview I would have said 'look lads can we do it again> I'm not happy with my performance'. No room for ego here, Scrap it, learn from the bad performance and redo.

but it's out there now.

@JTB - "He looked to me like a person who'd spent a hard time reading a lot of hurtful criticism about himself."

Exactly what I thought at the time too. BUT his comments about the placing made me think you deserve to feel uncomfortable if that really is your reason.

THAT SAID - hurrah we go a placing away at 2.2p, shame we had to give up warrants too though.

I suppose most of the hot short term money has probably exited already, now it's a matter of how much of the LTH decided to at least divest part of their holding.

I'm holding back to see if we see a spike down to try and pick up something very cheap. Otherwise, I'm happy with the holding - well I could be happier....

@jsmith - I did top up.
I mean it's a 2 yr play, this is a short term blip. It's not end of days.

@happyhaddock - agreed I thought that the whole placing conversation was dismal - lack of business acumen if it is to be believed. If that is the real reason. I mean I'm an ex broker and ex trader the last thing I would ever take into account putting a deal together or walking away would have been 'will this upset the broker?'

he's right, the thing they have to do is to find a resource, but until then....

relistening to the interview I almost wished he had remained silent. He seems to have stumbled through it, and honestly his tone isn't very inspirational. The interviewer almost prompts him to come to positive conclusions.

It doesn't change any of the facts really but it won't inspire confidence, IMHO
