You were doing quite a good job until you plucked the 50p figure like a petulant child.

I just can't trust GS and his band of silent partners so I gave up last week and sold out. I really hope I'm wrong and that you all get a great return on this as it gives me no pleasure to be proved either right or wrong. For all the research, charts, insight and market expertise we all like to think we possess, when it comes down to it, it's normally a punt either way with the little marcaps as I've found out many times over the years.

I might buy back in at some point as on paper this should/could be a great story but you have to trust the management and ATM it feels like their focus is on their own enrichment.

With MW holding 80M shares and having his feet under the corporate table is he STILL a champion for investors or NOW a cheerleader for the BOD?

Take the err's out of that video and it would be 3 minutes shorter.

I'm mostly confident here but not because of Gobind

Confirmation buried in the RNS that it has exceeded the 50m size which I understand makes it investable for bigger corporate funds. Great news all round

"so why should I wait another 3-6 months" - Because Beppe is begging you to :-)

Well let's hope we finish in the blue corner today.

Unlike Daisy I've been nothing but supportive of this outfit, especially the recent appointment of Mark Ward.

However, if PR is about endorsements by z-list celebrities on LinkedIn and Twitter then I'm not just not getting it. Even I'm tenuously linked to Mark Ward via LinkedIn.

Apparently Dean Gaffney was approached last week but he was too busy LOL

Perhaps Alan Partridge could do a corporate video.

Not sure 'celebrity' endorsement is what we need, though with 'Beppe from EastEnders' we haven't even got that.
I hope Mark Ward will be bringing more to the table than a share tip to his LinkedIn buddies.

I note Michael Greco is a successful poker player. That could be interpreted as an unfortunate correlation to being invested here. Let's hope we get a Royal Flush and not a Bust!

Don't forget the RNS stated that there would be a further update before end of Q1 (which I assume means March)

Some posts on ADVFN reckon that this will be around RCF and/or direct investment and that is direct from the investor relations.

"there is a quiet buzz building around this share"
Yes but is it the buzz of Bees round honey or flies round **** - That is the key question.

Obviously I believe and hope it's the former!

I don't disagree but there seems to be a grey area between false information and negative/pessimistic sentiment.

I rarely see "Pound by Christmas" type posts censored.

A lot of messages disappearing on this thread. Are we investors that thin skinned?

Just leave it Steven.
If this share goes well you'll never hear from either again. If it goes badly then they won an argument but nobody ever made money out of that, unless they are short.

Daisy is upset because she lost her dinner money. Candi's upset because he doesn't even have dinner money to lose.

Personally I'm enjoying splashing about in their tears. Join me, its warm

....this share is a bit of a punt and that's just fine. I hope for best and plan for the worst. Those losing their rag over this are probably over invested and frustrated that things aren't happening quicker.

Like other mid/long term holders I saw some great gains last year but have since seen it dwindle away to barely a profit at all. But in all honesty I now feel far more confident with a wealthy, proven arese kicker on board, particularly one who holds such a large stake and is not being remunerated for his contribution.

Mark Ward is relying on solid, sustainable growth for his reward. I believe he (and the rest of us) will get enjoy the fruits of this in two to three years from now

100% agreed.

If there is nothing on Monday then that will be a huge blow to the credibility of Alpha and Mark Ward

If I had a track record like Mark Ward's and held as many shares as he then I would be looking to increase the value in the fund to a point where it would become an acquisition target. I suspect and hope that is the plan.

"I look forward to updating our shareholder base on further company progress later this month" - Well that doesn't give GS much time if he's learnt his lesson on announcing timescales!!

Perhaps the RCF agreement was helped on or was contingent on getting Mr Ward on the board, with his expertise and contacts. All just speculation on my part

It's showing on ADVFN;
1,470,445 @ 2.3975 at 14:47 - Good shout

If that was a concerted effort to bash this stock then I can only advise them to not give up their day job!! Gobind has ben far better at it this year LOL.

I hold and see no reason to change my position
