“Why sell so many now?”
——-
Maybe they anticipate picking up shares as a part of ST2 for less than they’ve just sold a load for?

per ardua ad astra

Yup. 14 different respondents to this thread, but, only one who was certain my unaddressed message was directed at him.

Q.E.D.

Megalomania: noun [ U ] UK ? /?meg.?l.?'me?.ni.?/ US ? /?meg.?l.?'me?.ni.?/

1.1 Delusion about one's own power or importance (typically as a symptom of manic or paranoid disorder).
?
An unnaturally strong wish for power and control, or the belief that you are very much more important and powerful than you really are. When in reality, nobody gives a fcuk.

Well, I hope I’m never convinced - or seduced! - by putting lipstick on a pig, verde.

Fred should afford rowleybirkin’s views no more consideration than they do hers, and most certainly should carry on as per usual - not least because she brings a refreshing change in tone when the testosterone level gets a little too high. I can appreciate why (like Capt. whatever said yesterday) some people sometimes find it tedious to go through what they might consider post after post of irrelevancies but hey... tough shit. Nobody gets anything for free - nor can they have everything all their own way - so if they cannot accept that on the way to gleaning a snippet of useful information here, or some perspective they hadn’t considered there, they might then have to encounter something that isn’t so helpful then so be it.

These bulletin boards generally function best when there is a community of contributors bringing an array of talents or information to the board. And invariably, most people contribute more when they feel a part of something. If a little bonhomie (or backslapping if you wish to be churlish) is the price some people have to pay in order to find something of use - particularly when offering little or nothing themselves - is that really too much to ask?

As I intimated yesterday, it’s no good carping about the content if you’re not here to contribute yourself. Nobody here is obliged to contribute on anyone else’s terms other than our hosts. And if some people simply find it too troublesome to take the rough with the smooth, the fact is nobody’s insisting they stay. They can always vote with their feet.

What’s happened to the ‘contribution’ from rowleybirkin on this thread? I don’t much care for the unwarranted missives aimed at Alicia - and will condemn them when necessary - however, I cannot recall anything said this morning that should require censorship. The flakey remark was certainly no more offensive than Alicia’s stuff on the surface of the tea reference anyway - and that remains. Perhaps they’ve been censured for previous messages, I don’t know, but, it seems to me that this board is just getting a little too ‘big brother’ and we’re heading down a road none of us should wish to travel. And on this occasion such injudicious action will unfortunately only lend a degree of credence to rowleybirkin’s criticisms.

We might not like what some people have to say, but thankfully we have the freedom of speech in this country, so we should all defend their right to say it. Within reason of course.

With respect, Capt. If everyone took the same approach as you there wouldn’t be much to check.

Because it provided for the frequent and repeated use of dilute, dilutive, diluting or diluted, perhaps?

Lol, Cranleigh. Certainly recently anyway!

Specter? Redicilouse? Oh dear. Roget online appears to be misfiring.

per ardua ad astra

Aha! northernisler, that’ll probably be because I’m a pompous, curmudgeonly, condescending and smug so-and-so. Apparently.

Hi, Poppop. There’s a deal on offer today if any shareholders want to sell their holding. If, however, you allude to a hostile takeover at some point in the future, then that’s always a possibility. My opinion is you’re rather wide of the mark though, however, if it were to happen it would be so far into the distant future that the potential for it isn’t having any effect on the share price today. The overriding reason the share price is where is where it is today, is due to uncertainty surrounding the component parts of the ST2 fundraising. Should the result prove less dilutive than many fear, and with ambiguity removed, I shouldn’t imagine the price would remain at this level for long.

Cheers,

Good morning, Cherokee. No, I don’t mind you asking, and no, I’m not retired either (well not in the traditional sense). I’m still in my forties if that helps.

Can’t see that your gripe at Alicia was warranted to be fair, rowley. The gender based qualifier to your recommendation wasn’t particularly appropriate either. A little less of the ‘love’ and ‘darling’ stuff would be a good thing.

Many thanks,

per ardua ad astra

Oh, right o, John. I’m not allowed to find Alan’s frequent anti-Motley missives tiresome, yet all’s good when it comes to you carping on at me? Again. Why don’t you just do us both a favour and filter me? I won’t have to waste my time reading your rather banal offerings, and you’ll have a little less amazement in your life. Sorted.

Cheerio.

per ardua ad astra

As with many things, it has been pointed out to you on numerous occasions, Alan, that there is not one capricious Motley Fool who changes their opinion with the wind. Rather, it is little more than an online magazine with a collection of contributors who, quite naturally, hold a variety of different views. Much like this bulletin board. There’s a fair collection of fools here too, to be honest.

Cheers,

Good morning, sheps. No, no wrong side of the bed for me. I was just repeating exactly what Myo suggested to me last week. Now that certainly was looking to "guide". Cheers, per ardua ad astra

“but I have to say it is very kind of you once again to guide me in my contribution“
——-
Oh dear. I wasn’t looking to guide you, Myo (would that I could). If I were, perhaps I might allude to a shit covered floor and demand you “get a room!!”

per ardua ad as tra

Good morning, Myo. It’s great that you should wish to be so helpful, and it is true that this board has a wealth of knowledge and experience that potential or new investors can draw upon, hasn’t it become a pretty rum state of affairs though when, in addition to recommending investors do their own, contributors here should feel it necessary to compile a step by step guide to navigating the company’s website?

I get that contributors here can help in answering an array of questions and enquiries and some have a deep pool of knowledge they are willing to share, but, it strikes me that you could be heading down a very uncertain road here. Carry on like this and people will be wanting you to pop over, boot up the computer for them and slap on the kettle soon too.

Cheers,
