Yes would not average down here. Although i have successfully averaged myself out of a hole in the past, some investment theories suggest that you should put in a stop, accept you got it wrong when it gets hit, and not throw good money after bad. I like the way that the polishing line story was not mentioned and also no mention of the huge transformative Stone Alliance deal?? I lost out, but i'd be worse off now....(note to self...'use stops!!')

Great idea! I was thinking that a site visit would be very informative. Looking forward to hearing about it too.

Isnt it rather hypocritical of Evil Kneivel (the arch naked shorter) to criticize companies such as plus500 given that naked shorting is itself, considered so controversial it should be banned? Umm i wonder what his motive could possibly be....

Yes i'm thinking this looks a bit oversold, snaffled a few at 143 today. Might even be offered a few at discount in the upcoming fund raising if available...

No postings yet..? I've been happily tucking these away for some time now, nice little well managed company with good income too. Todays figures again show steady progress. Might not be overly exciting but that makes for a nice sleep easy investment whilst i wait for everyone else to catch on!

No obvious resistance on the downside....confidence will need more than the factory to be finished at this point. It's hard to take a loss, but i've seen a lot more promising investment cases than this go to zero and investors lose everything. Regarding the factory... a factory obviously is on the map, and my previous reservations regarding the signing on the walls doesn't really add up (ie if the writing has been photoshopped.... it's prob just because they can't afford to get it done yet). But then to refering to the signing in the text (as in '... it's become a local landmark...' etc...) is what made me really uneasy! For me its too risky, and if they do start selling bucket loads in a few months then there'll still be plenty of opportunity to re join and make up for any loss. Should make for an interesting story either way! AIMVHO

Bailed out at 8.25.....had another look at the still frame of the factory on the video. The writing 'FOX MARBLE' doesnt recede into an infinity point like it should given that its written on to a factory wall taken at an angle! Might be wrong but it's the nail in the coffin for me... GLA

Quite....but now got a nice new website!! :/ Not for the faint hearted this....

Sounds plausible... well something def seems to be afoot with so many recent and different director buys, quantities are decent too....

Buy/sell ratios looking good again today. Would appear that there's a good few people who are happy to get in at these prices...

Cheers for that link. Looking at the buy/sell ratios today, the majority of buys would suggest that the market thinks this new venture is broadly positive for FOX. If it didn't involve FOX at all, then this would be bad news, but the majority stake is surely a positive. In the interview, he suggest that Stone Alliance via the new Kosovan mines now have access to v large quantities of marble, and assuming that marble extraction/finishing is a profitable venture then this is a positive, whether in competition with FOX or not. The extra supply may drop the price but won;t the extra volume dwarf that in terms of the bottom line? Also does this deal not rubber stamp FOX in terms of their reputation, where some seem to be suggesting that FOX is just all smoke and mirrors? Surely that's not an issue now. CG also seems to suggest that the FOX assets are more expensive marble types and therefore serve a slightly different market. I don't know, i'm no expert.. As has been discussed, the source of funding is a key issue. We also we need to see some product being sold by FOX alongside more talk of even more jam tomo ventures.

Yes agreed that the polish line delay and the formation of the new company are likely to be linked. I think maybe the Kosovan goverment realise that they are sitting on a load of decent stone and they want their slice too. This new venture allows both parties a back scratching way forward. Prob FOX will get absorbed along the way as part of the deal.. If the goverment have been using delaying tactics with FOX then you could argue that things could start happening rather more quickly now the brakes may be off.... There is risk and reward here but i'm not sure either way atm...

yes ok...you short FOX and i'll go long....

replace with * with sh*reprophets

Taken from the link i posted below....in order to see it, click on it and then replace the *'s with '*************' "There are folks out there determined to suggest that something is not qu9ite right with Fox Marble (FOX). In one sense they are correct, Fox has missed a stack of targets. We know that and it is well and truly "in the price". The conspiracists quite simply maintain that Fox is built on smoke & mirrors. They are - I believe - wrong but their war on Fox has left the shares very cheap indeed. The "ace in the pack" for the conspiracists is http://eboracum-marble.co.uk/ which is a distributoir for Fox having placed a 2 million Euro order. The website is laughably bad and the company was set up not long beforehand. Its companies house filings look **** poor. In short the critics imply that this is a bogus order and that 2 million euro will not translate into cash for Fox. Those who attended UK Investor Show last year will have met one of the two chaps behind Eboracum and might actually understand what is going on, says Chris Gilbert. Yes the company is a start up but it has two HNWI backers who Gilbert has met so has cash. Indeed Fox has already received cash from it, The two key men there have been in the marble wholesaling game for years. Yoo don't pick up customers in this game via google hence the mickey mouse website. But by contacts and wearing out the shoe leather. The CVs of the guys actually running Eboracum are impressive." I can see your's and your friend Notmuchsales viewpoint, and its an irony that the so called "shreriff of AIM" is such a fan of this company, esp as their PR man is so reviled by him as well. All a bit of a mystery, tho i guess, like you say, if the polishing line doesnt turn up soon...we'll know which way to jump...

ps ps I'm a bit loath to post a link from the Camberwell pizza seller (Sh*reprophets) but i believe it might be relevant in this case....

Thanks to you both for your info regarding what you both seem to be suggesting are questionable orders, from questionable companies.(Eboracum etc..) I would however feel more confident in your views if you were not both new members with only single issue negative posts about this company...? Are you short on this company or just concerned investors? Certainly you seem to have an agenda, and if that is simply to warn everybody else then thank you and regards....

...yes also heathrow expansiuon is another big one (if they ever make their minds up about it)

Hi A bit surprised that the recent news of positive results from graphene paint additives and potential commercialisation hasn't moved this up more. I imagine that a lot of peeps are pretty cynical having prob lost a few £ over the initial feeding frenzy when this started out. So the usual jam tomo comments arn't going down too well. This is the usual risk but have a feeling that this is in fact an opportunity for a small flutter....
