Don’t you have to fill in tax forms in the country of the stock you’re buying/shorting? I’m technophobic so I’m screwed on that one lol
I have trouble filling in a lottery ticket lol (yes I’m old lol)

I don’t agree with shorting simply because it can be used as a tool by the institutions to manipulate any particular stock. Take Odey with Metro Bank as one example. Should be illegal IMO.

Chopsing.
If BTC keeps going like this, it’ll be heart attacks incoming. lol

I put my shares in a time capsule and I can’t remember where I buried it. lol

You can do all the research in the world for years on end but how do you research a bad CEO’s decisions in the future? Or have you gat a crystal ball.
And just for your info, I’m not under water in H1 , actually made a small profit before the failure of tai1 and 2.
Made losses elsewhere, but who hasn’t, Huh?

What has riled me today is finding out that DM has possibly been working for other companies. He can’t even run his own for God’s sake.
He needs to clarify how many companies he is working for and how many hours he is investing in other companies if he is.
Was he working for another company between January and March 2022 when he “forgot” to secure a rig under contract? How much of a distraction is working or advising this these other companies?
When things go wrong where are the BOD to explain what and why went wrong?
They daren’t because it would raise serious red flags about their competency of running an exploration company.
I didn’t believe at the start of this venture that this was a lifestyle company and even after they failed to secure the rig last year. Now though, after the Mou failure I am seriously starting to believe it is, or at least dragging it out for all it’s worth. DM needs to hire a well experienced and qualified exploration company CEO or go down the JV route. We cannot have another year down the drain.
I’m off now to leave you all in peace. Have a great weekend all.

We're all still here because we believe in the prospects of what this company can deliver. It is without doubt an enormous potential and that’s not in question. What is in question is the ability of the current BOD, DM in particular as CEO, to deliver that potential in a timely and cost effective method.
I’ve heard nothing from any of the BOD over the last 13 months to dissuade me that this is not a lifestyle company. Have you?

I’ve was in since early December 2020 at 5.5p. Came out after the failure of 2021. Been watching for most of 2022 because I knew when they didn’t have a rig by March 2022 they were waffling. The Mou caught me by surprise but I jumped back on and am still holding. So yes, I have skin in the company. Nearly more than our illustrious CEO, but that’s not really hard is it?
Just realised as well as I have been posting this morning, doesn’t DM have 2 jobs at H1? Isn’t he in charge of all the geology and seismic data and doing all his CEO commitments as well or is it all considered one job? So taking on work from EST as well, is he not taking on to much and is it affecting his decision making?
I know there is a lot of frustration out there but it’s all down to, what I believe is a CEO totally out of his depth at running an exploration company.
I said earlier in the week, DM has filled every position with the relevant profession. Except, IMO, the most important profession. A CEO who knows how to run an exploration company.

Forgot to point out that didn’t someone post earlier in the week that they even got the seismic data wrong and drilled in the wrong location at Tai1and 2?
Need I say more?

KO.
It shouldn’t be taking up any of his time. He is paid by H1 to do a job. Which he is totally failing at IMO. More to the point, based on that he has achieved absolutely nothing but a set of seismic data, 2 failed drills and can’t even read a rig contract properly, are EST employing the right man for their job?

H1 showing all the classic signs of a lifestyle company.
1. Jan/Feb 2021: hired the wrong rig.
2. Aug/ Sept 2021: failed drill. failed 2nd drill. (see point 1]
3. Oct/Dec: 2021: nothing.
4. Jan/Mar 2022: nothing and “FORGET” to secure a rig.
5. Apr/Oct 2022: nothing except waffling from CEO.
6. Nov/Dec 2022. We got a rig on a MOU. HOOOORAH!!!
7. Jan 2023. No we don’t
Feb 2023 onwards ………… ????????
Can everybody see the repetitive failures of a CEO that has the art of making the company look like it’s progressing but it’s actually going nowhere while getting paid large amounts of money. A bit like the donkey and the carrot.
Dangle the carrot and the donkey walks towards it. Hide the carrot and walk 10 yards. Show the donkey the carrot again and it walks towards the carrot again.
Rinse and repeat.

I’ll give it a go but I’m technophobic, so could probably end up searching “Dave the cardboard box” (you’ll only get that if you’re old like me lol)

I’m not sure how shareholders, if they wanted to, get to force Davey Baby to reveal what all his commitments are? If they did, and it is found he has been working for other companies then he needs to repay his wages for the time he has been committed to these other companies? Why are we, or should we, be paying for a full time CEO, who is only committed to part time hours?
The arrogance and contempt for shareholders would be staggering.

DM needs to clarify in a RNS what all his commitments have been over the last 12 months. His concentration should be 120% on H1 and absolutely nothing else.
Is this the reason Davey Baby can’t read a rig contract properly, because he’s to tired after working 2,3 or 4 jobs? If he has had other work then surely he should refund the wages he got paid by H1? Why should H1 shareholders pay for his wages while he is working for someone else?
For me, I think Davey Baby needs to start being held to account for what, or lack of what, he does before this share turns into a lifestyle company. If it isn’t already.

Looks like the classic case of “FAT FINGER” typing. I bet the person involved had a bit of a panic attack when that showed up on their screen lol lol

What’s the numbers for Friday’s Euro Millions gonna be? lol

I’m no financial guru by any stretch of the imagination but I find it hard to understand why regulation is feared by so many in the crypto stocks?
Surely regulation will open up the crypto stocks to people who fear being ripped off, BTC’s getting stolen and the high volatility? Which should in turn increase volume in trading and in turn increase SP’s.
Or is it the wild west and casino environment the crypto stocks are after to attract the big money gamblers?
Can anybody enlighten me?

EXCELLENT chance to fill yer boots tomorrow and even Friday if you’re gonads are big enough and still believe BTC will rise from the ashes.
Think I’ll flip a coin, cos whatever I think, it ALWAYS DOES THE OPPOSITE.
lol

I’ve got one thetriplestar.
After employing every kind of person for every kind of profession, why has nobody been employed that actually knows how to run an exploration company?

I hope the poles and wires are back on track, or even advanced, after falling behind last year. Need some great news for a change. Might even put a smile back on Brads face but he does sound, with good reason imo, very miffed. So it'll have to be like a Tony the Tiger off the Frosty’s advert RNS ….
