Interesting comment lowrisk trader - at not being worried by current sp weakness - when would you become concerned - or more money than enough not to worry

That said I intend holding longterm as my belief here is strong.

Slightly patronising comment Westie to Peggy who seems to be a new poster - and currently we are just below 3p to sell as she commented!

I think you have picked up on the word deplorable too heavily guzzler. Perhaps, on reflection it was too strong.
You yourself have said previouslmthat financials were not openly discussed in various meetings etc. The other info and PR is very regular and timely - my point is that investors worry, quite naturally, when the sp drops so much and too little attention seems to be paid to this by The Company.
I fully understand that David's full schedule in promoting the Company is apparently working well but the effort seems directed at increasing 'customers' rather that also caring for the shareholders 'tangible interests' as regards the value of their shares. Financial info could reinvigorate confidence of the investment market - as AIM investors soon become disillusioned - often having little patience... looking for swift returns.
Like you I am committed to holding here - and for what it is worth this represents my biggest holding of AIM shares - and I do believe ithe rewards will be very good. That said I , like many others I suspect , dont like the value here dwindle day by day when I believe the sp could be put in to perspective by releasing some figures or projections.
As a shareholde I am trying to draw the CEO's attention to this.

I have no doubt that you are doing all you can to grow and develop this Company David - the fundsmentals are looking good and your energy seems tireless BUT...

On tha face if it your PR with investors is not comparable with your promotion of LVCG to potential customer markets.

Investors on the AIM need factual info of course and also some indication of income/profit margins, projected results and expectations etc. These are sadly lacking of late.and the shares sliding sp is no doubt affected by this lack of detail. The placing, albeit made for the right business reasons has also damaged confidence - encouraging few buyesr.

Imagine investors who bought in at £1 recently - they will be very disillusioned, consider also those buying in to the placing- they will be wondering why they bothered - others will be worried over 50% slide in a few short weeks.

Whilst the investors must shoulder the risks of their investments the lack of financial info/ projected results is deplorable considering the sp slide and as CEO you owe it to your investors to be more open regarding this important area and calm the shareholder sentiment.

Sincere apologies all - in my post re the feature in the Mail I should have said Saturday's Daily Mail Financial Section 'Stock Watch'. Problem at my age and retired is that all the days seem the same and with the golf, cricket and my grandson's football I believed, all day, that it was Sunday. ... Worth a read if you have not binned the paper? Senior moment I guess which lasted for 24 hours!!!!!

Not a ringing endorsement, but no negatives either, - none the less LVCG is the featured Company in today's Sunday Mail's Financial Section 'Stock Watch' slot. Hopefully this will alert some interest from those previously unaware of LVCG.

Agreed Dubbs - if it really is Davids intention to sell the Company at no less tha £4 per share the market really does require more financial info to spark interest and belief of investors - to relight the fuse which, in my opinion, the placing has dampened - despite the aquisition of BB to the ultimate benefit of the Company.

Unbelievable- twice as many buys as sells today - ok loe volumes- but the sp slides aga. Foul practice springs to mind. This really is a sound bet going forward - time to buy and hold then with a low free float we coukd be rewarded, despite the mm’s and strange market moves and manipulations. Hold and stay firm in my opinion

A great conference call with very pisitive info re interested buyers and excellent prostects all round based on results of drillings eyc. We sre looking good.
We have almost 3 times more buyers of shares today compared to sellers yet the sp is stagnant at the end of the day. Someting smells of manipulation and foul practice here. Surely there must be a regulator ?!

No matter - time top top up and hold securely- then there would be less/ no shares on offer at the current price and the price should rise.

We look set fair for a good few months if we hold our nerve as the Company appears in great shape🖲

Good point Westie - but NvS has already made it known that he will entertain jv,s and will be looking to sell so a general discussion with investors regarding what is already known will breach no rules as I see it (but no specifics etc could be mentioned) ???

I reckon poorman has called this correctly. No CEO would willingly leave himself open to a conference call situation in which he might get a bashing from cusromers, investors, creditors etc. Therefore as this is an investor call we should not expect bad news in the call for him to defend however robustly.
Could be sounding out investor reaction (before an AGM) to possible jv's or the possibility of him entering discussions for a takeover by an interested party. This could explain why results etc which we have been expecting are delayed - with others doing additional due dilligence? Just a thought - who knows???????

Disappointed with this - no additional info

Yes - and you have brought out the hint very well - thanks, a good reminder of just what David is doing and the speed at which he is moving.

Soulsister - i understand how things may appear - bu in truth you do owe it ti yourself to see both sides of any coin and not just believe the ramps and the positive informative posts in isolation(which are ptobably the posts you might prefer to read). A balanced view is preferable.
I am invested here for the longer term having read both sides of the posts - if more investors did this there would probably be less sp volatility caused by people looking for the quick buck then bailing out at premature stages and incurring losses. This is the aim and nothing is ever certain but we are all in it to win of course.
I am not looking for any falling out - just trying to be open and honest re my own views and rationale. Each to his or her own.

Yes - I do think we are on the same page here Albino.
Many people ramp, easy to spot I guess, - others including DZ regularly deramp - but as investors we must weigh both sides and then decide for ourselves.
I am trying to given an honest balanced view as a Banker (now happily retired) - with perhaps more of a cautionary bias as a consequence of my Banking background making regular decisions of whether to lend or not - and yes I got
some wrong - hazard if the business I guess.
As you say Alba are a small company perhaps with a small team and perhaps more proactive PR skills could help them and their public (investors) perception and confidence going forward - but pitfalls on the AIM are frequent and reasonable care is needed.
I still believe this could do very well over a ouple more years though.

Could there just be a very transparent hint in guzzlers last post????

Thinly spread - i am thinking of too many strings without necessarily having sufficient working capital - as opposed to only a couple fully funded.
Just seem to be a little dependent on others for results and investors to provide cash, by placings when they run out.
We investors must take these factors in to account when committing our funds and as I said I intend sticking with this one but it could be a longer burn than many would like. Not too impressed by the board re info etc which probably works against them - good PR could help enormously (as with any professionally run Company)
Honestly not trying to knock this investment of mine but trying to be realistic and see both sides of the risk/reward eqation.
Still very optimistic. GLA

Agreed Bubbs - today hurt - but a good time to top up as I fully expect a significant hike here. Cannot understand why it has fallen so much given all the positive factors which are obvious to anyone who does any worthwhile research.

As per my previous posts I am holding in expectations here. That said Dropzone is probably right in that this is a very high risk stock if you were taking a commercial Bankers view of prospects.....
1. Too thinly spread across projects wit no promary focus
2. No working capital
3. Low cash income presently - unlikely to cover cash outgoings
4. No profit currently.

Yes Bankers would probably avoid this but true investors see opportunities and weigh the risk accordingly.
GLA i' m sticking with this.

Great spot applegarth. Thanks for the info.

Many posts are restatements BUT your new info and or research that i have missed are always greatly valued - but the underlying theme does seem overly biased at times. You input is valuable and I do not underestimate it - just question it sometimes.
