SP dips are just part of the buying opportunity wave for some of us that joined at around 8p. Doubled up at 4p. Doubled again at 2p and then built up a decent pot below that.
The jump from 2p to over 40p was too much too soon. I confessed openly to top slicing and to buying back on the fall.
20 - 30p range today feels about right.
Long term future looks good. Slow and steady SP progress is fine by me but I am happy to take cash off the top if we get spiky again, there will always be opportunities to repeat the buy back on other dips.

IK: Roll on 5 o’clock so I can take a “pill!”
P_I: it is always after 5 o'clock somewhere. Just view it as right time wrong place and let the world pause for a while as you unwind.
more gin required for my tonic.

'go complex' = 'god complex plus lack of caffeine'
just checked the email to ensure I did not drop a 0 in my OO request.

I now expect to require legal advice in the short to medium term. I am looking for specialist (no not the one that has a go complex on here) advice on divorce.
Grounds for the divorce?
Mrs P_I was aware of BPC and the open offer. We discussed investment limits and portfolio balance.
We agreed on no more than an additional £10k.
Slight issue there and the grounds for divorce, I followed the rules. Well I did until this morning when I sent the email. What have I done?
Mr Potter, pull this off and I might still be married next year. If not, is it possible to list BPC as the 'other party' in a divorce?

still not full OO but another £20k and a new reason to have 'squeaky bum' moments on AIM.

whilst I agree with the sentiment I don't think going all in and over subscription is going to be the right answer for everyone.
Not intended as a negative post, I think BPC has every chance of being a multibagger in the next 6 months.
Just that going all in may not sit with all investors equally.

Oldcoaster: It is also said to be haunted by the ghost of a subaltern who was beaten to death for cheating at cards.[3][4]

P_I: nobody gets beaten to death for cheating at cards.
getting caught cheating at cards is another matter entirely.

Kapkina: How about Fri Nov 29?

P_I: if we are at 12p by then i'll eat my hat, as long as there is a side of beef and horseradish.

- looking forward to eating a hat -

At 43.5p (or diluted 87p) I will bring hats for everyone to eat.

any establishment that bans the use of a mobile phone gets my vote. Genius.
On the basis that if there is no photographic proof it never happened. If there is no proof I can't get in trouble for that extra drink.

Not many people bring a camera on a night out (unless you are a Pap and it is work), every man and her dog (political correctness) has a phone with them today.

IK: @£3 a share I’ll BUY Langan’s to ensure we have enough horseradish!

that stage in life when you are rich enough to walk in to a decent restaurant and order without looking at the menu, knowing the staff will get what you want, even if it is not on the menu.

at £3 a share my grandchildren could retire - before they finish school.

did make me chuckle.

a take over before the open offer would really shake things up.
I am very confident that you are right, it is probably not coming ahead of the OO.

A takeover is a very real possibility.
any thoughts on timing?

Bonum, for the business it is a binary play. It is as you say not a binary play for investors.
I approve of those playing the share both short term and long term. They both have a place here. We need short term traders to have any liquidity in the share after all.
Where I really appreciate posts on the BB are posters who post genuinely and give reasons behind what they are doing. There is a great deal short term traders - and indeed traders who go short in a stock can teach some of us on these BBs.

I have been open that I am both a long term holder and more recently a trader looking to benefit from the SP volatility. I treat my holding as two discrete entities.
With the OO, I will add the shares to my trading pot. And, yes, I plan to use the milestones ahead to unwind some of the OO shares.

do a quick check on Wikipedia

I was expecting 1:3 possibly 1:4.
at 1:5 I am planning to take up 50% of my entitlement no lack of confidence just a cash position. (and the risk of Mrs P_I going thermonuclear)
I think I need to re-read the RNS a couple of times over a brew, there are some big points in there to digest.

To those saying it was better to buy on the open market over the past week below 2p, there were reason against that. he point of the raise is to generate 'new money' buying open market shares does not achieve this.
All depends on your view, short term small % uptick and flip the shares make a few coins and move on vs invest in the future of the business. Both have merits, but to say one was right and one was wrong is just not understanding both sides of the story.

Newbies, welcome to the BB.
Beware the overly positive and the overly negative views on here and DYOR.
BPC are in both the best and at the same time most precarious point in their history. The next 12 months will see this share soar or die. The big question, the one that dictates how this ends is simple, what does the drill hit?
A commercially viable oil play and we are going to see BPC go down in history as sitting on one of the biggest oil plays globally.
A duster and we are in the bin.

History is written by the winners.
(you can add your own joke here about (country of your choice) having a lack of history books and a national flag of a white cross on a white background)

Notting Hill - not bad, not bad at all. Well chosen briefs I must say. Chicks dig grey.

There's something wrong with this yoghurt....

I knew a girl at school called Pandora....

great script, funny film.

Vegan: Vegetarian who likes extremes.
Vegetarian: Person that misses out on delicious foods like bacon.
Omnivore: mainstream food choice, eats pretty much everything.
Carnivore: eats only meat.

P_I: Gen2 Vegetarian, I only eat vegans, vegetarians or omnivores. Lion is strictly off the menus, unless it is caught and cooked for me in which case I am happy to be a Gen3 Vegetarian.

horseradish has feelings too.

I have heard rumours about your 'special sauce'
Not for me, thanks, too salty.

IK: Eytan implied in the interview that farmin partners will lose advantage the further the process progresses.

that was one of the bits I picked up on in the interview, I was not sure how much of it was for PI's and II's confidence and how much was to shake out a farmin that was sitting on the fence.

I would like to think that even if we do get a farm in and the business does not need the additional cash from the OO they allow it to go ahead for the benefit of LTHs even on scaled back allocation.
The purpose of a board is after all to deliver long term benefit for the shareholders of the business. And to provide roast beef and horseradish (/Wasabi) sandwiches at all future shareholder meetings.
