Hi Pdub, yes I believe you're entirely correct in saying that. Lindon's original post might have been clearer about what he was actually criticising, in that aspect.

Hi Pdub, I can in part answer one of those questions (at the risk of exposing myself to attack!). I won't defend his assertion that this is "contributing to a low share price" but I can certainly explain why "most institutions are unable to invest in BMN". By most institutions I believe he means fund managers, and the simple answer there is a regulatory one - funds have to invest in assets consistent with the fund's risk profile. Most funds simply do not invest in AIM companies for this reason. Of course there are actively managed small-cap funds, funds for special situations, and then there are venture capitalists, hedge funds etc, who may be more than happy to support/short BMN.

Ultimately, I think it's actually pretty reasonable to say most institutions can't/won't invest in BMN, as it currently is. As for your requirement for an explanation from a professional or well-researched perspective, I'll pick the professional option given I work at a large investment company myself (think along the lines of Aviva, Legal&General, etc). I hope that helps simmer things down a little!

Snowman that's very encouraging to hear. I've been saying this a lot about most of the shares I'm invested in lately - I'm in the red, but still a believer. I've held INFA for a number of years now, so looking forward to seeing this come to fruition!!

"A move which has the backing of BMN" makes it sound like we're a big fish now!

Agree Bella, as someone who used to be in GWMO, i know exactly what high risk, worthless mining companies with equally worthless management are. BMN is not really high risk.

Good to see some enthusiasm from others here lakota! I bought in in the 180p days so I've been in the red for ages here. I've never stopped believing BGO is worth more than that however!

add me to the list of those who have bought and never sold!

Why would anyone do that? Time in the market, not timing the market. And as Buffett says, "be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful".

Perhaps it would be fair to say BMN are a world-leading company in this area! Definitely glad I invested here and not Sirius, it's an absolute catastrophe over on their boards

Vanadium is toxic it says. As opposed to what, Lithium-Ion batteries which are toxic and highly flammable/explosive? What point were they trying to make? Amateur hour going on over here

Excellent post pensioner, and most informative. We certainly have a long way to go here. Thanks for the info

TYM is the reason I took so long to take a small position here. I was invested in TYM, got out at a loss, and don't trust any company associated with them. I had actually forgotten why I didn't get in sooner here, but that's been a sad reminder.

Thanks King, I too have thought BGO is better than Boku, given our CEO appears to realise the value of data and has already made a superb acquisition. But it's nice to hear some of the other competitive advantages we have expounded! I've been underwater for a while in this share, I must have bought in above 150 a long time ago, would love to see this back above 170, but I believe this has much further to go than that in the end

I'm also a bit confused on the difference between bango and BOKU, I know they're our biggest competitor. Any help here?

One of the knowns is that the company will soon be profitable, and this has been progressing steadily. And we have a big tax loss to use up too! I think that's enough to take a position, especially seeing how well run the company is and its potential. Those are just my thoughts

The clarity I can provide says that as someone who used to trade forex at a hedge fund, technicals/charts don't matter for shares, so I wouldn't stress over them

And as you also probably already know, Buffett also said "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful". A great saying

I'm fine with the SP stalled whilst I accumulate!

i am glad to see someone else promote Jim Slater's book The Zulu Principle. It's one of the best I've ever read, along with both of Peter Lynch's excellent books Beating the Street, and One Up on Wall Street.

You're a weak holder, Bargane. Like Buffett once said: "If you wouldn't buy more, you should be selling"
