I'll read through that later. I'm happy enough with the dividend for the first one of the year. Hopefully more to come in another 3 months.

For the last few days --the displayed price on here seems to be stuck on 93.54 ????? Is it showing the same for everyone? Is there a glitch?

Well Goldgnome----I'd be happy with £1.31 as the first dividend of the year. That would set the rest of the year up well if POG holds or goes up. Hopefully it will start to climb a bit as things calm down a bit (Until Greenland!)

I'm no good at the numbers-------but other people on here are.

I'd be happy with £1.11 as a dividend as a starter.

I think the last quarter they were working with POG of around $4100? received .

Yes things could be a bit bumpy but I'm sure Mr Bond and goldgnome will tell us why we should hold.

I think we go ex dividend in 3 weeks? I'm hoping for a good one that will set the tone for the year, rather than a low one and hoping for higher ones later on.

Any estimates or guesses for what it will be?

This is getting REALLY PAINFUL now! Down $20 or 20% in the last week----------and that is from the initial drop!!!

I hope that what some people are saying on here is right and gold will start to go back up shortly. It did of course jump a hell of a lot since the start of the year before falling back a bit, prior to Donald's excursion.

SO? will gold regain it's recent losses and resume it's climb to new highs? I don't know--------but I hope it does.

In the short term the money seems to have moved away into oil and bonds?

I wonder how long Donald will continue with the excursion and what impact will it have on him? It wont just "Be over" because he declares it so. Will he pull out but continue to fund Israel? If Iran holds him to a stalemate for a month or so, it will look very bad for him and his blustering wont cut it.

What will the price of Oil/ inflation etc do to the American people?

What will it do the to price of gold?

This is getting a bit painful now. :-(

How much of it is due to the war and the price of oil? How much is due to the stock markets falling and selling off? How much is down to other factors?

How much longer will America continue with the war and what will be the outcome of it? I was going to say "Fall out" but lets hope it doesn't come to that!

Lets also hope it doesn't end up with a replay and a number to it!

If it gets resolved fairly quickly will the price of oil fall and gold resume it's climb?

I don't know about Monday, but it was a fair way off that towards the end of the week :-(

Fingers crossed for moving back up.

Hopefully things will settle down and the gold price and the share price will start to rise again. I thought that the lower price would have brought in more buyers?

The last week has been quite a slap down! I'm trying to convince myself for now, that if the POG holds about $5000 then the dividend after the 173 cents one should be good.

I suppose Greenland is safe for now?

To all the ex Centamiin lot on here, can I remind you again of Siko's Go fund me page?

After all the time and help he gave us in the dark times, please chip in some of your dividend. I'm sure he will appreciate it----------------And it would restore a little of my faith in people.

Thank you.

I bought some last year in the low 30's and the high 20's I think, hoping for a quick recovery and get out with a small profit. However suspension and then SID happened and I got stuck here. About 5 or 6 weeks ago, I decided to take a loss and have a dabble elsewhere. Obviously, if a higher offer comes in I will lose out. I think I got out at about 24.6 . I put the money into ABDN and traded a few times and once into Tesco and I am now in front.

I feel sorry for the LTH who will lose out. The people who will make money are the ones who came in near suspension, and are the ones who have been patting themselves on their backs, waving their wotsit's about and engaging in P--ing contests on here.

I'm pleased that I finally got in front with the money I put in here. However, I was throwing out some old contract notes this morning and noticed that if I had just put the money into ABDN last year then I would have had a 50% return , plus 2 dividends.

Oh well.

Will they attack again?

If the Asian markets will still pay for physical, then you would think that in the long run it wouldn't do much good? Then you have the thing about if you raise the costs of dealing in paper/ leverage, then will people still want to deal in paper contracts? If you (hypothetically) raised it to the point where it was the same cost as physical, then there would be no point in buying paper contracts.

In the shorter term, will more attacks come to try to shake the tree and cover shorts?

I take it you are still Long on gold then?

If the Chinese, the Indians and the banks have been buying physical gold recently, then surely they should be piling in on the drop if they think the price will rise?

Is the crash of last week an attack to try to scare people away from Silver and Gold because the vaults are running low?

It is nice that you will remember to donate to Siko's go fund me Https://gofund.me/bd6063e4 . I just wish a few more people on here would make a small donation of the value of half (or given the recent rise) a quarter of a share.

I thought the initial takeover offer was a bit on the low side (still do) but we have done very well since. I have sold some along the way as I needed a bit of stability rather that more risk. I've still got too much (for me) invested here, although it is small change to some of the big boys----------but at least with the shares I've bought and the dividends here, I've got an income that I can get by one.

I think Mr T held a lot of Centamin shares that he had from a very low price so did pretty well out of the sale anyway. He was on a multiple bagger, maybe 8?

You must have made a lot of money, so why not get someone in and build the house that you want? Plan B----go out and buy one as it will probably be less hassle. :-)

And maybe a good time to remind people about Siko's go fund me page?

I thought a few more people would have donated.

I hope Siko is well and things are going well with his family.

Any guesses at how much the next dividend will be??

Thank you for the donation. I'm sure Siko will appreciate it. I know he said he does not want to come on this board now that it is not Centamin as it doesn't feel right/ Egyptian any more.

Hopefully few more people will make a donation. I'd like to think that the chaps off the old Centamin board would.

I hope you enjoy your Christmas. Mine feels like it is about to start as someone from the food bank called to collect some bags of food I'd got ready, yesterday. I never feel it is near Christmas until that has been done.

Thank you for donating to Siko's go fund me page.

Https://gofund.me/bd6063e4

I am sure he will appreciate your donation. Hopefully he will get a few more now.

And maybe now is a good time , to remind people of Siko's go fund me page

Https://gofund.me/bd6063e4

I'm sure the people who have made 10's or 100's of thousands of pounds, maybe even millions, would feel a little bit better about themselves by making a small donation ?

Please try and donate something. The value of half a share or a full one, or more if you are feeling generous.

Thank you.

Https://gofund.me/bd6063e4 In case anyone wants to donate to Siko's go fund me page?

I'm rubbish at timing things. I took a punt on a small number of Hoc the other week and they went down so I was over £400 down. I was hoping to make about £400 on the swings. Then I thought I'd take less but the dropped 5p in an instant. Finally I sold them for 365 yesterday --------------and of course they are up to 398 now! So I could have made another £300 or so. :-(

However, I made £300 in 12 days so I shouldn't complain . On a relatively small number of shares , I made £300 in 12 days, £280, the time before in 4 days and £100 in one day .

Hoc are one of the shares that seem to swing a lot, (like Ocado) and I cannot afford to risk much --------If Hoc drops again below what I sold for (will it??) I'd risk a maximum of £5000 . Should I ever be tempted to go into Ocado it would be £3000 and get out at a 10% profit.

An II question. Do you have to pay a currency conversion charge when buying Anglogold Ashanti or just when you come to sell them?

I'm thinking of joining and trying to trade a few Au shares.

Thanks
