Stay Positive for the Long Term !30 Jul 2025 07:13
I've been following this chat for the past week and a half, reading message after message...
To conclude, there's a lot of name-calling going on, which is human nature, I think...
I also find many chat participants who would love nothing more than to crush people's investment in Metals One. Laughing at those who are temporarily losing money in the short-term. It's a real shame.
If you think the stock is so bad, what are you doing on this chat? Stay away from both the stock and the chat. Let those investors who still have good expectations for it in the long run exchange their thoughts!
Finally, Metals One makes no pretense of short-term profit, neither for itself nor for investors. The earliest possible production date cited is projected for 2028-2029. Long term indeed! The exploration and permitting phases simply take a long time. It's a positive development that they're partnering with professional companies with expertise. Ultimately, Metals One will make the best choices from all the ongoing exploration projects to make those projects profitable and divest the others. That's what they call exploration !
Admittedly, I personally invested 95,000 shares at 12.5 GBp, only to end up with 5, or even 2 today… A significant loss to my capital, but any self-respecting investor knows this is an unrealized loss on your computer screen, until you stupidly decide to dump the whole lot and actually suffer the loss. Apparently, "buy and hold" is a term that's been lost…
Admittedly, the constant issuance of new shares and the outstanding warrants are causing significant dilution. But hasn't Metals One itself politely pointed this out to investors? A company like Metals One isn't on the AIM market for nothing. It's a young, growth company that simply needs to raise its capital from investors, not from the profits it hasn't yet been able to realize in the exploration phases. If you can't understand or accept that, stay away from the AIM market.
Instead of upgrading the stock, it's only being downgraded in this chat. Do those who are so negatively reacting here realize they're further undermining both the investor and the company? This way, you're only further undermining the stock. Besides the disgusting behaviour (disaster tourists), you're ruining the sentiment of the positive investor every single day.
Perhaps you'd be better off investing your valuable time in upgrading this stock on various other channels, such as Reddit (of which I'm not a fan at all). Perhaps this will become the new meme stock? But of course, we, the positive investors, won't be granted that.
Good luck and a pleasant trading day to the "buy and hold" investor with a positive rating on this stock.
Best of luck to Metals One in its further exploration and rewarding the loyal investor in the long run.
