Ooh look... there’s marklee too. Demonstrating as he so frequently does, that he hasn’t got a clue.
Hope you’ve both got a firm hand on that brain cell.

Lest anyone should be misled by your inaccurate assertion or risible paucity of critical thinking, Jessel, and since you’ve namechecked me too, perhaps you’d be decent enough to provide just one example of me “shooting down” anyone who may have suggested this might happen?
We both know you can’t - of course. But then, we both also know that you just couldn’t pass up an opportunity of misdirecting some of that impotent rage, could you?

Morning, fellas. I’m just about to hit the road, Thornback, but, I’m not driving so shall try to tap out a few thoughts on my mobile as soon as I get the chance. It goes without saying of course that, like many, my thoughts are fractured somewhat by a rather considerable seam of disappointment running through them.
Cheers,

I should imagine they’ve been hawking them around already, however, as far as any official promotion is concerned, it won’t be at least until after any resolutions are passed at the AGM on the 21st.

Things seem to be looking pretty grim this morning. Any further slippage in price and we won’t even have any “multiples of 8p” left to pin our shattered dreams to either.
Pffft...

Just Ignore it. Kaspersky is bored. After a ‘fishing trip’ that passed irony by yesterday, today’s topic is pre-market. Tune in tomorrow to see who nibbles then.

Hi, Dan. An ‘O’ trade is an ‘ordinary’ trade. They might be off-book and even reported late on occasion, however, the ‘O’ abbreviation is for ordinary.
As far as retail investors are concerned, ordinary trades are almost exclusively quote driven and comprise a transaction with a Retail Service Provider (or, M.M as they were previously named) and it is a bargain between a buyer/seller and another party. This compares with ‘A’ trades which are system generated

I’m inclined to think precisely the opposite. It is clear someone has plenty of shares they are wanting/able to offload, and by drip feeding them as they are, they appear to be doing their best get them onto the market without having too much of a detrimental effect on price. Scaring people would only serve to cause the price to fall further and they’d then find themselves offloading whilst others are selling too.
I guess it all comes down to whether they are selling with a genuine desire to reduce or, whether they are doing so to keep a lid on the price for other reasons. Fwliw, I’m in the first camp.

I know, right. Apparently it takes about 5 years from seed to sufficient size for palms to bear fruit, so we should hope to start hearing something soon. It is a massive sector with potentially massive returns, however, I would have hoped we would heard something by now.

Ooh you are awful... but I like you!

Give the price a short time to absorb them and climb, and no doubt we will see more.
Best not to focus on ‘em too much though or John’s gonna get chest pains.

Nice sentiment, Scotty. Bet even Trooper would have never expected to see the share price languishing at 30p AFTER the conclusion of financing though.
It’s been rather pleasant here of late. Hope all’s well with you too.

At least you will have got people to sit up and take notice though, eh, Higgo?

Thanks, Myo. I knew Capital have been involved with Sirius for many years, but, was out and about and posting from my phone. I’m sure popex will appreciate that you were at your computer and had the time to delve further too.
Cheers,
per ardua ad astra
Good morning, popex. I trust you are well, although I was sorry to read that your wife is so ill and that is compounded by her recent stroke. I hope she is not suffering terribly and you are coping with her care.
As for Capital, they have been involved with Sirius for a good number of years. I don’t know when they made their first acquisition, however, they were key contributors to ST1, and I seem to recall them at least being around for a good few years prior to that — perhaps going back to the pre-planning stage in 2015 also.
I wish you well and hope you find the strength to manage what is a terribly sad situation.
Kind regards,
per ardua ad astra
With respect, Myo, whilst many of us firmly believe that Sirius will eventually get there, ‘pound party’ predictions are two a penny on AIM, and if I haven’t read ‘pound party’ as often as I’ve read polyhalite in the ten years I’ve been waiting for one, it would certainly be a pretty close run thing. And If any of my penny share speculations were as certain as the prediction of the much vaunted ‘pound party, you’d likely find me on the Riviera imbibing Reims’ finest from the navels of some of Dior’s prettiest young clothes horses.
Cheers,

Good work, Cranleigh/Phil. Many thanks for sharing your efforts.

Well, that’s just plain silly. You could buy them straight back and bag yourself ~25% more.
Oh... and it’s Fraser, btw.

Can’t see why SIPP is coming in for such approbrium, myself. As a former investor, he has outlined the factors that have given him pause for thought, and elucidated his reasons for taking the action that he has. He doesn't appear to me to be deliberately taliking down the company for his own interests, rather than explain exactly what it is that leads him to conclude that, at present, Sirius no longer fits with his investment profile. And to be fair to him, there has indeed been a material change in Sirius’ situation or fortunes in recent months. With the increased costs involved in building the tunnel, and 1,000 long-term, high-skilled, highly productive jobs - not to mention the potential to over £2 billion to GDP - at risk, the lack of any firm commitment by this inept government of ours after all these years should give investors something to chew on. That we’ve also paused discussions with our lending group after such a long time, so that that we might pursue an ‘Alternative Proposal’ is another very good reason to review our positions. But ultimately, so what? We’re all here trying to turn a penny or two, and quite obviously we will all have different criteria for our investments and the way that we approach them. Lambasting someone who gives very good reasons for taking the action they have serves little purpose if you ask me.
As it happens I have a belief that things will work out, but, that is just my opinion. At this stage of events it is no more right or wrong than SIPP’s take on things. If we cannot listen to - or accept - the views of others who hold a different opinion we do ourselves and our finances a disservice. For nothing ever moves forward in an echo chamber.
