Your post said it all MikeC, and to answer your latest query, Standard Chartered were present at the AGM and were completely stumm on naïve questions such as "What is your forecast on the share price movement?" etc. etc. It was the one aspect which left me with some small doubts, but like most of us, I was completely taken in by the optimism of BJ and his Aussie henchman. I will have to become a bit more cynical with these guys, as today's news makes their stance at the AGM all the more detestable. We were all nicely put away for a few weeks whilst negotiation and testing of samples was supposed to be happening - and then another convenient pause with the Chinese New Year!!
I initially thought that Hatman had gone a bit strong with his post, but I am beginning to agree with him, also Robin's take on events. However, we are where we are, and 6p for this company and its resource represents a different form of highway robbery, and if you guys have not already sold, lets weigh this up. Firstly, with the collusion of this BOD and the excuse of no working capital, Redbird are keen to flush us all out whilst the market is at rock bottom. So where has the Chinaman who was looking at a £750m joint venture gone? He can buy the whole lot now with a bid of £20m - so surely he must be taking an interest, assuming that his presence was genuinely reported. Or, as some have suggested, is he lurking behind Redbird with some brown carrier bags? The next 28 days will be interesting, especially for the conspiracy theorists - whom I have just joined. Beginning to accept the reality that either way I have done my brains, and should have stuck with the gee-gees where I do make a regular profit believe it or not! Will miss the fun and exchange of views on this great board with the likes of trbw, mambo, pigeons, ski, bigwod, muel and pico - with Steeltrader always there with further education! After this chastening experience it can only better - so my best wishes to all for some sunshine and luck.
