Yes Bear you are correct. My advice to any new investors is to go back and watch a few and ignore the scaremongers

They think every day is a placing day and try and scare others...

Thanks Swazers, most interesting! Nice to see someone doing some proper analysis for a change

Are you still spouting ****e... Give up man

This was on the BBC World Service this morning: Tigrayan forces who have been at war with the Ethiopian government for more than 18 months say they are ready to send a high level delegation to talks mediated by the Kenyan government.

A letter signed by the head of the Tigray People's Liberation Front, Debretsion Gebremichael, did not set out any preconditions - unlike previous statements about possible negotiations.

Earlier on Tuesday, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said his government favoured the idea of peace talks to end the war.

The two statements have raised hopes that the conflict that has forced more than two million people from their homes can be brought to an end through dialogue.

And btw, yes you have been right in the past for those who don't know what you have posted

Smelly, I just said good luck all. I did not promote the share, I said do your research so caveat emptor! I was, a while ago, I think down around 85% on an original sizable investment of around 80k. I have seen the promises, I have seen the share price drop, I have always been in for the long term and read all the hype and the negativity with wry amusement. Like I say, good luck to those that hold, those who are on the sidelines don't let fomo get to you, it's burnt a few who haven't been prepared to hold as long as I have. I am still waiting to see something concrete

As a long-term investor here (I originally bought in about 6yrs years ago) and having averaged down over the time, I am at last showing a profit in my ISA, my SIPP has a way to go yet. I wish everyone who is genuinely interested here good luck, especially other long-term holder's. Let's hope that going forward Harry does finally deliver (have never doubted this would turn good), but a word of wisdom from an old hand: invest here because you have done your research and you believe in the business and then hold on, hopefully the roller-coaster ride of the past is now almost over but done~

Hi Bohemia, a top-up premium is something that a policyholder can invest into their ULIP (unit-linked insurance plan) over and above their existing premium payment. Its for life polices. Badly worded in the RNS, they mean additional premium for coverage. Q

Hi Bohemia,

Lol, no, stopped reading them ages ago. I will take a look, worked in the Lloyd's market for years and never heard of it... Q

Hi LLL,

This person is talking drivel. I can't remember who the original underwriters were, but it was Lloyd's market. There is no such thing as a top up premium for this type of insurance. The premium will be paid and that is it. The only additional premium due is for a renewal but doubt that this will be renewed as the policy will cover for a period of years this is long tail e.g. a claim covered by the original policy could come years later - as per asbestosis

Cracker, on point 2, you are correct, but what you accidentally missed out is the following:

The two organizations have a history of military and political alliance which did not go well. A little before Colonel Mengistu Hailemariam’s government was toppled, the two organizations forged an alliance, but did not last.

Oromo Liberation Front fell out with Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) barely a year after the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front, which was dominated by TPLF, took power in 1991.

Soon after that, the half a century old radical Oromo political organization had to flee from Ethiopian power center to lead a brief guerrilla activity in the South East and South Western part of Ethiopia. It did not last long as it faced a devastating defeat from the TPLF led government.

Thanks maestro1

I saw someone attached a valuation of £35-50m to it earlier. A quick Google shows that there are around 90,000 kids who are affected with it each year, just wanted to see how realistic that figure is

Apologies, but can anyone answer this question: has a sales price been attached to the AHIL product yet?

Are you aware of Lombard Contrariwise?

I'll see you at the fish fry... :)

I am a NED. I can stay on as a consultant and become Executive Chairman of my own company and carry on with my $500m oil investment fund...? Do I stay or do I go? Decisions, decisions

Hi Nimbus,

Thank you for your message, but I am not allowed to give financial advice. Please take a look at the Financial Services Register available on the FCA website. Regards Q
