Well.., that and not communicating with his backers.

Not down to the team.
It's down to one man.
That's why he should go.

How about they focus on one.
Get that working and put its' profits towards funding another project.
Then begin returning some value to investors.
It be an innovative, even breakthrough, idea for Trousers, but I think it could just work.

:'-D

LoLoL.
;)

Wait.., Tymers is Trans...???
:D

I wouldn't put too much in.
Let's assume that, as so many rampers suggest, this is a lottery win waiting to happen.
The share price will rise to fantastic levels and there will be riches a-plenty for investors.
So, at the current price, you will only need to put a small amount in to take a lot out if/when that happens.

If, however, those rampers are eventually revealed as complete and utter morons, keen to have you buy in so they can sell out, you won't have lost very much.

Good luck.
;)

I think they already did it.
The kit arrived and they said they'd started.
That was a while ago though.
No news since (typically).

I have others, but those're my main holdings.
Zscaler was a minor holding but grew quite quickly.
I had sold it a while back but bought it back this year and re-sold it (only a few days ago).
Splunk was another of those; It's done well this lately but I hadn't bought it back.
:)

Soz, I got distracted and forgot why I put all the other junk in there.
The point behind starting all that was to explain that I hold US shares in my UK pensions and ISA, with a US tax indemnity.

ie. the US Govt treats my US investments in the same way as the U.K.'s HMRC, for tax purposes.
I'm no more liable to pay tax in the US than UK.
Form W-8BEN, for anyone interested - valid for three years at a time.
It's free and simple to use and renew.
Something I found during my 'learning how to invest' struggle.
:)

Cute too.
(You forgot 'cute').
;)

I think we'd be poorer without your input, oil.
Haven't seen anyone suggesting you're ramping, but your posts seem fairly balanced as I recall.
:)

It's not just the US.
It's global and nobody's really talking about it, probably because they know nothing's going to happen until the virus is bneing managed.
The US is poor because they've, frankly, been mismanaged and misled.
And on a lot more than just the virus.
:)

Lol.
I'm not sure what SS actually does do any more.
Nice post you just made in the "All" thread, btw.
:)

Over the last few years I traded an ETF invested in WTi (West Texas Crude).
Made reasonably good profits from it but nothing like UKOG.
In February it went to a "Historic Low" and I put more into it to take advantage of the rise when it recovered.
It didn't recover.
Trading was suspended that same day and I got 5% of my holding at that back.
With the profits I'd already made, I only lost about 35% of my investment.

My point is that I cannot listen to anyone saying they're buying into a low to make profits when it recovers.
Yes, it's possible.
I've done it myself and still do.
But it's a high-risk strategy and ramping is when someone says "when", instead of "if".

:)

I think I understand your question now, but it's still not one I'd claim to be qualified enough to answer.
I do know what the S&P500 is and I understand it's been good to invest in for long-term though I don't personally.
I do hold some US shares ('stocks', lol) and I understand there are various funds and trusts that specifically invest in the S&P500.

They were all bought to hold, not trade, but occasionally they have a rise which makes me uncomfortable by its' size and speed.
If I have a large profit in a small amount of time I'm happy to Sell, even my supposed 'Long-Term' holds.
Very recently I've sold Amazon(some), Apple(all), and Zscaler (all), either at the top, or what I perceive may be near the top.
Of the US I still have all (or some of) my original holding, I have;

Micro$oft (my largest US - all)
Tesla (all)
Amazon (some)
Netflix (all)
Illumina (all)
Tencent (all)
Paypal (all)
Visa (all)
Facebook (some)
among a handful of other less well known companies.

Again, although I've been investing since I started working, I started taking more of an interest and taking on the management of some of my investments around twenty years ago.
I only started investing really seriously about five years ago when I began managing all my investments myself.
Currently I only have about 20-25% of my portfolio is in the US and am trying to decide whether to put more in over the next year; I'm torn between the US and China/Asia.

Here in the U.K. we have a number of vehicles (pensions; ISA's...) to make investing very tax-efficient and I have been able to exploit those completely.
I only have a very small amount of cash that I keep outside of those, which is a reserve to carry me through the next twelve months.

Any left over is re-invested.
Any shortfall can be made up from investments, without any tax penalty.
I'm able to invest and take income from my investments free from income tax and capital gains tax.

This is probably more than you wanted to know but I hope it helps anyway.
:)

Keep hearing how this has bottomed out, aaaaaaaaalll the way down from 3p two years ago.
:D

Ditto.
:)

2p here by xmas?
Barking, fella.
;)

I had to give up golf after a bike accident, maybe I'm the barking mad one.
Despite having different views, I shall be raising a cold cider in your direction shortly.
;)

There are many others though who certainly do know much, much more than me.
Seadoc's a good one to ask.
Very knowledgeable and willing to help if he doesn't think you'l wasting his time.
I have a lot of time for his thoughts on UKOG too.

:)
