Ryan Mee, CEO of Fulcrum Metals, reviews FY23 and progress on the Gold Tailings Hub in Canada. Watch the video here.
Yeah....right....
In a similar vein, has anyone yet had one of these scam letters from the "TV Licensing " people? Funnily enough my bank, NatWest, warned me about it yesterday only about an hour or two before the actual phishing e-mail arrived!
What I thought was hilarious was that the actual layout was of a fantastically authentic standard. You'd have no reason at all to doubt it except for one detail they'd omitted....in the address at the top the e-mail said it was from "Ben's Carpetfitters"!!!!!
Y'know, if you want to succeed in the scamming world you really have to pay attention to the little things, don't you?
I suppose the likely scenario is that , since this fiasco has now gone on for so many years, there will be a whole generation of new naif investors (naive if they're women, of course) coming along , to whom all this will be unknown country.
If Worthington, Whetsone, Wealthcreator or whatever makes any kind of return to the financial scene there'll be a whole new crowd waiting to pile in.
In the absence of any monitoring body with a full top and bottom set of teeth the inward cash flow can just start up all over again.
I've found that solid financial education only comes at a sickeningly high cost. You have to personally lose a huge wodge of money before you graduate as a fully-fledged cynical old batsard.
Picto says that the accounts for WHET have made made and submitted to Companies House....and indeed they have.
"Full accounts made up to 31 August 2019" and they can be downloaded as a PDF.
As reading material goes I'd be surprised if that takes up much of our remaining lockdown time.......
I bought in today but I doubt Ill see the huge quick gains that some of you got who bought in last week. Nonetheless I don't think that itill plunge much more over the next two months or so and, when the coronavirus issue starts to recede I believe that everyone's economies will be fight to get on the starting grid_always a good sign for fuels.
I know this is going to sound like a pretty ignorant posting but...How exactly DO we vote? I mean, what are the actual mechanics of the ballot? Will it appear in our Trading Accounts as "Action Required" or will we need to log on somewhere and verify that we are bona fide shareholders.
Despite this sounding pretty uninformed and daft I really would like to hear about this. I've been a Sirius holder quite literally ever since there's been a Sirius and yet I don't know how this is going to be conducted.
I actually mean to cut my own nose off to spite my face on this one because if we vote no and the deal founders then at least some of those shysters who stood to make a tidy packet out of the whole underhand business may end up with a massively reduced profit out of it all. Vindictive? Moi? Too bloody well right.
Despite the fact that I, like many on here, stand to lose a sizeable wodge of money if Sirius does go to the wall, I rather agree with 15Lives and Unanimity here. To describe someone who is in charge of a company that simply "fails" is not quite enough to merit one's inclusion in a "rogues' gallery".
When you think of some of the names from the past like Maxwell, the Cowley four and so many recently who actually PLUNDERED pensions funds and the like it does seem a tad extreme to include Chris Fraser in such company.
If like me you are able to regularly drive past the extensive infrastructure which Sirius has so far put in place at Woodsmith and at Lockwood it doesn't exactly put the board in the same light as the other folk I've mentioned where use of shareholders' money is concerned.
Personally, I'd love to have someone to blame if or when my shares lose their value, but sometimes it's just not like that. Things just simply go wrong and that's that and you have to take it on the chin. I don't suppose Chris Fraser himself is actually dancing a gavotte over all this at the moment. Look at some of the other "companies" (I use that term reservedly) which have recently faded into the murk such as Quindell, Worthington and the like. Are you really saying that Chris Fraser's Board should be standing in the same line as the Boards of these kind of outfits?
Yes, Addicknt, what the hell was his name? He used to write page-long screeds of a sort of financial gobbledegook involving thirty-month projections and five year scenarios all based upon...upon...upon what?
I think the powers that be have decided I'm a "persona tota non grata" on here. I've tried to give a recommendation to every single post on this site since my last one but...diddly squat, nada, gar nichts.
Still, hey-ho. 'Twas always thus, wasn't it?
Looking back over the years to the days when the expression Tortious Interference was being used as an alternative to the more common "widespread skepticism" it seems odd in the light of how this outfit has been run and has communicated that anything else was to be expected. Criticism was voiced from the lowliest tapper on internet fora up to bloggers and columnists associated with the Financial Times.
Hundreds of small investors must count this as the worst financial disaster they've ever made for themselves, as I do where Quindell is concerned, and I'm rather surprised that the authorities are not making some effort to enquire into/ unravel some of this.
I'm feeling very nervous about a modest investment in Sirius mining but I can at least see a partly constructed mine on my travels to and fro around here and I know I live on top of a few billion tons of polyhalyde that I own; but I'm still nervous!
Happy, chilled and....yeah, right.
Why in God's name are you guys replying to the poster called SamSamson? Surely we are all aware by now that these boards are chockerblock full of fantasists who spend their days writing away on here about shares they do not own and have no intention to. This is their social club; their pastime, nothing more. if you answer them then they'll write a reply...and so on and so on until you're driven bonkers.
Just answer serious questions and expand on serious observations and leave Sammy boy and his mates to chat among themselves. If Sirius goes tits aloft then they won't lose any money; but likewise, if Sirius recovers and improves in price then they won't make any either. They're not a part of this; they're just an interruption, a heckler in the overall conversation.
I don't actually get it, CMF.
I know that probably well over ninety-five percent of all the holders on here are well down on their entry price but I can't really see what's to be gained by selling off everything at this stage and price. You may be right and "strong sell" is the correct decision but the way I see it is this:
Firstly, there is only the slightest chance of the present team raising the necessary and that the works, up to their present stage of development may have to be advertised for sale. OK? Right, that still means that somebody who HAS got the necessary cash is set to make the investment/acquisition of his or her life........but....they need to buy it from us, the owners, and, even if this turns into a firesale it won't go for fourpence a share. Even in a firesale situation this price will rise and, even if it doesn't reach anything like our expected heady heights it won't be, as I said, fourpence a share.
So where's the justification for your recommendation of "strong sell" right here and now. Surely "hold", ie. "wait a while and see" will prove to be more prudent. Okay, you might take a serious hit if your average is in the twenties or even the thirties, but not a total wipe-out which, I'd say, is what you'd suffer if you sell
the farm right now.
I wonder if that means that he's leaving the London investment scene and heading back to Canada. If it is then, I suppose, it's Well, Toronto, our loss is your....your....erm....
What I don't get is where all these shares for sale are actually coming from. I mean, if everyone that we know has confidence that Sirius is a long-term winner (and, I assume, that's just about all of us on here) then who the hell is SELLING off their holdings at about eleven pence a share?!
Hi, IIK. Glad to see you're still in the investing world! Probably you are, like me and Addicknt, a somewhat wiser investor after the Quindell fiasco. I guess we both hope so at least!
The craziest thing that I found when criticising QPP and RT was the sheer number of conspiracy loonies that used to flock to the defence of the company. The first thing they used to bang on about was, as you mentioned, that we were all part of some huge shorting cartel trying to bring everything down and that we were a part of TW's evil plan.
Totally barking. None of them even considered the fact that it was unlikely that any of us who traded with a proxy broker were even ALLOWED shorting! The number of times I tried to tell people that if you held your shares in a Pensions ISA it was simply not on to be using it as an instrument to be shorting shares. Never stopped 'em. Mad as hatters. No wonder TW had hardly any trouble running his Madman of the Month competition. But there were way, way worse. What about those Worthington shareholders, eh? THEY are still banging on about their pie in the sky even though they haven't had access to any of their dosh for about SIX YEARS now! Makes Quindell look like a gilt- edged investment.
I don't often read this anymore because reading about RT makes me so annoyed with myself. I've always believed the old investing axiom, "the enemy of profit_is greed!" and yet I seem to have fallen for it myself. At one time it used to wind me up well and truly when folks on here used to pile abuse on me for daring to question the Great Man's direction but at least now almost everyone seems to be aware of what a piece of work he really was and also what a bunch of total incompetants seemed to have stepped into his boots.
Whenever I need to sober up (financially speaking) I only have to look in the Quindell part of my portfolio of around six or eight years ago and compare it with what that would be worth now: even allowing for all that smoke and mirrors baloney of payouts after the Sand G buyout.
To this day Quindell is still the biggest financial punch on the nose I've ever taken.
Ok, DavePenny, so you did get the manufacturer wrong BUT...your point is still totally valid. There is clearly a kind of policy not merely of non financial involvement but of almost non-interest! We seem to be getting to the stage where Members of Parliament think that the only thing they should be interested in is in having some kind of stance on Brexit. Even the national media are fanning this fire. There are projects of national and regional significance that appear to be on some sort of back-burner at the moment. It's hard to imagine a project which has to be one of Europe's biggest current undertakings getting so little parliamentary attention. I really speak from experience when I say that if the Sirius mine were being excavated in, say, Hesse or Rheinland-Pfalz then German television viewers would, by now, be sick to the back teeth of hearing how many meters of Fortschritt had been made since last week's five minute slot on the news!
Plus, Bertram, these batsards seem to have an advantage before the law that we lesser beings don't enjoy. I once applied to the DVLA about a car that had hit me to obtain the owner's name and address. I was informed that, under data protection regulations, they were unable to provide me with those details without that driver's consent! Well, he'd immediately give me that now, wouldn't he?!
Yet parking lot companies, because they've paid the DVLA a kind of "permit" fee are allowed to gain access to information like that .
It puts me in mind of an expression that we used to hear a lot down in Houston: "Here in Texas we have the finest justice that money can buy!"
Personally, I hope his company's "launch" in the US is a rip-roaring success. I hope that the self-same tactics that were employed with Quindell are used. I hope that the authorities over there rather than here start to take an active interest in those tactics. It's only then that a long and healthy life will probably be the very last thing that the board of that new company will be wishing themselves.
Unhealthily vindictive? Moi? Perish the thought.
Manifesto, I only look in here on an occasional basis nowadays so I cannot claim to have seen all the postings, but I must disagree with your use of the term "gloating". I think you are being rather thin-skinned here. I have never seen a single post in which anyone has laughed at any investor's situation. Never. God only knows but I've been on the receiving end of investments that have gone sour so often myself that I'd take great offence at anybody poking fun of that situation. I think you are plain and simple wrong on this take on things.
