Interesting how we have a different perspective of how the two of them came across. I felt TS was more 'polished' and seemed more at ease and used to with public speaking, whereas to me I felt LB was more nervous, certainly at the outset. Public speaking isn't for everyone.
It doesn't mean he isn't a very good manager and I think they just have different styles but can still work well together (here's hoping). Big shoes to fill, once James finally departs.

Thanks JBongo for the link - very interesting watch. Reinforces, that for me, SMT is, and always has been, a long term keeper.

On a separate note, nice to see the recent recovery in the SP; currently 28% up from the YTD low. Long may that continue...

Apart from SMT, I currently have WHR, RECI, NCYF, MNP, HHI, HGT, and CHRY.
I'm not concerned with the current volatility in SMT's price. The fundamentals haven't changed and if you're panicking about what's happening over such a relatively a short space of time then you really shouldn't be investing in SMT (or the stock market in general) imo.

I think each PI will have their own buy out price that would be acceptable to them as an individual; that price would be influenced by such factors as their personal (financial) circumstances at that time, stage of life reached, but perhaps the biggest influencer in my view would naturally be the point at which they joined the GGP journey.
As someone who bought the majority of their holding in the early part of 2017 I would anticipate my expectations would be far lower than someone say who only bought in the last 12-18 months?
Also think when it comes to the crunch, what people say they (think) they would do and what they would actually do, when faced with a buy out price/vote to weigh up, is likely to be markedly different.
That said, I don't see any T/O being a likely scenario in the foreseeable future so it's a moot point. If it's going to happen it won't be for at least 2 to 3 yrs imo.

RRR - last NY Eve you said you owned 1.16m shares, you now say you have 5.5m. So you've bought an additional c4.4m in the last 9 months? Even at a lowish average purchase price of 17p, that's a minimum additional spend of £750k, possibly more. Really??
You also said you had invested in other AIM shares now you're saying GGP is your first AIM share investment?

If someone claims they're making £350k profit per penny increase that equates to a current holding of 35m shares if my maths is correct.

Having now watched the interview unfortunately I wasn't reassured by it. GH appeared deflated, strained, as if he didn't want to be there but had been rolled out to endorse the new guy.

I hope my Impression is completely off the mark.
As many have said already, we all owe GH a huge debt of gratitude for bringing this far. Fingers crossed the new guy is as ingenuous as GH has been and will take us to the "next level."

Stellar. Or possibly "badass" or maybe sick?

@Tigger - on the topic of Peter Alliss, I do agree with you. Not just the best golf commentator ever but one of the best sports commentators ever. Period. Huge loss. RIP

The point you are missing Tigger is that no-one is suggesting that you have to justify why or when you've sold, on this occasion it's HOW you've gone about it; a "misstep" me thinks. I'm not interested in hearing about your tax affairs or that you're buying a new chair as justification for your sale.
Secondly, re your comment "...those who provide a huge amount of help on this board to all and sundry.
Those experts on this board have helped make you and me, an awful lot of money this year..."

No, they haven't made me any money. I researched and bought into this Co long before their posts existed. GH, CB and the guys digging the dirt have made me the profit to date, so I don't feel that, presumably as one of the "thick clowns" you refer to that I owe you or anyone on this BB anything, least of all the fawning sycophancy displayed by many .

Urban Racer hit the nail on the head. Why the need? - self aggrandisement syndrome pure and simple

@Indy 17.41: post of what has been a rollercoaster of a day imo. Hilarious. I seriously couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that earlier post "Where's Paddy?". I would be self reporting that it were me to get it removed, it was so cringe.
Some folk really aren't cut out for investing on the stock market...

My posts were very much tongue-in-cheek...

Most of it was for the car. But it was a Dualit toaster. They're quite dear you know.
And obviously I sold at 27p as well.

I've had to sell £500 quid's worth - the car's being serviced this Friday and the toaster broke too.

Are you feeling a bit more bullish on GUN today Penny? That must have been your top up @ 8.57 this morning?

penny, you claim to remain invested having told us countless times you've top sliced, yet seem to be taking delight that the SP remains, currently, depressed.

Very odd psychology and counter intuitive for some one who's invested? Not that I ever believed you were or are invested as otherwise you wouldn't have spent the time and effort you have bashing the stock over the last months.

I've said it before Milly and I'll say it one final time. If you weren't genuinely worried about PURP as a threat, you wouldn't be wasting your time on this BB posting the same repetitive BS. But there again you probably do have quite a lot of time on your hands these days LOL... 2.27m buys today v 506k sells. Some people don't share your negativity.

Whether PURP is incentivised to sell once the client is signed up has been debated before, ad nauseum and is becoming tedious. We will have to agree to disagree. You've made your point that you think the Mcap is grossly over the top. You've not denied you're not invested. So why are you still here, posting on a share you've no financial interest in? (Apart from the obvious. I would refer to it as a hidden agenda but it's actually a pretty transparent one.)

Clearly another like Milly...not invested here and a bitter HSEA, envious of PURP's success.
