Calm down Badomen. This is just corporate diplomacy. Of course KOD know that but they are being polite. Especially when dealing with the Chinese, you must understand that respectful wording is of the utmost importance. Remember, they can read English liek wot u does.

I've been here since June 2021. Bought at 0.372 and 0.235 (yes, the falling knife). Please don't laugh yet. I also bought into SXX, FRR, UKOG, BCE, HUR, ANGS (yes, Starwars), UJO, PERE. You can laugh now.

Suffice to say, I have massive experience of picking AIM failures and losing money. Thankfully, for my mental health, I picked a few big winners that pulled my chestnuts out of the fire so I am doing very well now. But those losers taught me a hell of a lot. There are a few factors that really matter. I'll list them out and let you judge whether Alba has benefited from these:

a) a clear and successful strategy for adding value, including (for miners) a clear path to production,

b) speedy delivery,

c) credible management who do what they say they'll do, and beat expectations.

d) a little luck - but that luck comes from hard work and making the right preparatory moves.

If you would like to see an excellent case study of a company that has all that and more, then see GGP.

Alba is essentially uninvestable and I feel sure in saying that isn't going to change, ever. I am 95% down so there is no point selling. I keep my money in, read all RNSes, and sometimes read the posts here as reminder of what not to do. I might get some cash back via GROC. But at the rate things are going, the dilution is killing much hope of that. I should have bought in there instead. I wish you all good luck.

Wow, that's quite some effort gone into that! Very impressive.

Yes, potentially very good news for Ukraine depending on what replaces that evil man. Good chance though this is the Iran end game. Brings an end to the Ukraine invasion a little closer perhaps, and so an outcome of sorts for EUA. Would be nice to see a photo of Putin under the rubble of his Dacha one day. Evil scum.

Stretch, how on earth can you think that Trump is a conviction politician? To be that, you have to stick to your guns. There's a reason why Trump got the nickname 'TACO'. More U-turns than Starmer, that's why. Sometimes on purpose as that's his political strategy (fling mud and see what sticks, cause distraction and noise), but partly because he has no guiding moral principles whatsoever.

Hi goldroo, that was a great meet up.

Have sent you a mail.

Jerryspaniel, thanks, you are spot on. Not sure why I got it wrong the first time. Time for more coffee perhaps...

Can you elaborate on why this is positive please?

If they buy equipment from the US, the improved buying power of the Aussie dollar would be useful - but I don't imagine that's a big win.

I believe GGP sell their gold to China. Not sure if USD comes into it anywhere regarding sales.

The AUD is also strengthening versus our Pound. So when GGP pay out a dividend, that'll be worth less when converted into Pound Sterling.

I've run out of things to consider. What am I missing?

Thank you. Did you inform HMRC in the tax return (I seem to remember there's a section at the end for other info) for the year you incurred the loss, or did you use a particular form?

Moon, when GGP gets to £3.50, as per your prediction lol. How's the amazing team of analysts that you said you work with? Are they in the room with you now?

I intend to use the loss here to offset CGT tax on gains elsewhere. Anyone here got experience of that? Does anyone know which document it would be, if indeed it's that specific, that HMRC would need as proof of the loss? I assume the Final Report from Deloitte would be sufficient, or perhaps the Dissolution Order from the court, but you know what they say about assumptions.

> The elites went on to state that by 2030

That sounds impractical. The vast majority of countries wouldn't have the capability, even if they had the will, to implement such changes in time.

We're had a massive run up over the last year and not a lot of consolidation relative to the size of the increase. Now we're in a predictable lull until the next big announcement. Those two things mean it's a perfect time for traders to take profits and invest them in more volatile stocks for the next few weeks. Not concerned by this as I only care about the fundamentals.

Thanks for that AI slop.

> Also could the Hav gold in the ground be revalued upward or is this frowned upon?

I don't see why GGP would decide to take a financially conservative approach (for solid reasons) to the FS figures, then suddenly decide to change tack. I don't believe that's their style.

In London, UK it will be 11.30pm.

Element, if you could go to college and do an accountancy course just for us, that'd be great. Muchos gracias.

;-)

> Smart people would exchange their paper gains for income producing assets, in recognition of the ongoing devaluation of fiat.

Interesting comment, that I agree with. Which assets do you like? I hold a high dividend yield UK insurer, that I happen to know very well, but would like to cast my net more widely.

Forgot to add, we have a joint Qatari/RAF training squadron flying Typhoons, supporting the training pipeline for the Qatari purchase of those jets.

Nope. RAF jets are on their way to Qatar. Apparently for defensive purposes only, which is much more likely than them going into Iran.
