Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe PUR is listed on the Main Market, not AIM. That's a recommendation for it.

Very true, Johnpwh, with regards to SXX, I holiday frequently in the Whitby area, and I saw the grief and frustration of the the local PI's, who had put their life savings into it when it floated at 20p. I felt their pain, to coin a phrase. There's an old saying, Never Fall in Love with a Mining Share. I've learned, I hung on to REM it seemed like years. I no longer go down with the ship. If you trawl these boards, you will find shares that are 2p that were once 40p, and there are posters who bought them at 40p who are still hanging onto them. One authority says that you should get out if you are 20% down. As for some early private SXX investors, their money was tied up for years, they had opportunities to get out with a profit, but they hung on for the eventual Judgement Day.

I got loss of expectations (i.e. shafted) on William Hill, now it looks like I am going to get loss of expectations with Bacanora.

Been some nutters in South Yorkshire politics.

That's how it should be.

Well there was a comeback, and I am just breaking even. Any fall tomorrow, and SHOE gets the BOOT. My days of going down with the ship are over. I will keep it on the watch list, but I aren't going be impressed if some Richard Sole or Roger Sole or Robert Sole joins the BOD.

Mr Boot did not kick off a share price rise, it was a kick into touch. What has sabot-aged the price of what was one of my best shares? I've been leathered. I am no longer singing O Sole Mio. Is there any chance of this share getting well-heeled again?

If Mr Boot remembers the adage 'No Brown in Town' and comes into work wearing proper footware, he may last longer than Mr Foot.

Wish I'd taken heed of Michael Walters (ex- Daily Mail journalist)' caution on Canadian (and other) resource stocks, given in a 1998 edition of his book, How to Make a Killing in Penny Shares, page 153- 154.

Good idea, Techno, we should all get out to school gates and push the product. Have some flyers made up to hand out. Then in a few months the shareprice may be up alongside the likes of Royal Dutch Shell, and in a year, even Avon Rubber.

I've walked many miles in his shoes, his and the bloke previous, pounding hospital corridors. Best pair of working shoes I've ever had, they've never shown much wear, and change from £20. No sense in using your Church's for work or knocking about.

So Foot has left Shoe, or did he get the boot? Did he dig his heels in? Did they have him on the Shoe rack? Or has he fallen on his knife? If, they can get a star replacement, this might soon regain.

Just key in "eat out to help out warwick university" and you'll get it. No doubt some disillusioned alumni of the said university, or some Oxbridge men, will now come in to rubbish the place and all it stands for. But I knew it was dodgy when I looked in at the windows of a massive curry restaurant near to me the first night it was on, and I saw the packed tables jammed together, no barriers, no distancing. More than one local doctor has said it was a disaster. And this was countrywide.

Recent research suggests that the Eat Out to Help Out scheme drove up new infections by between 8 and 17 per cent, so Rishi Sunak will think twice before he pushes something similar again.

You mean, if the shoe fits, then wear it. You slipped up there.

Well that's what many of us hoped with William Hill, hanging about waiting for another bid, our money tied up, when we should have got out and got our money into another recovery prospect.

Does anybody think that PI's might be shafted as we were with William Hill? Well, not totally shafted if you got in when they dropped last year, but Oh! the loss of expectations, when we had hoped they would double over the coming months from the 2.25 they were at (about) when the bid came in. I was hoping that MARS would double over the months when pubs are open again.

I'm thinking of walking away from this share if it gets near to my buying price, it's like something is sabot-aging the share price. Is it attracting day-traders and shorters and other such-like heels? I tried to get more yesterday when it was 45-47p, but my soleless broker wouldn't let me in till it had jumped to 56p, so I didn't bother. I've got till 4.30 to decide if I want to dip my toe in for some more. Is anybody going to say "I wouldn't want to be out of this share over the weekend"?

Bit like the way the Admiralty put out the news about the Battle of Jutland in 1916, which made it look like a defeat. It was a PR defeat. They didn't put the whole picture. On the vaccine news this morning the only thing that was emphasized was the 70%, less than the others on the way. Like with the Admiralty, a fuller picture only came out later.

There was no hoped-for jump in prices after Oxford vaccine news to-day, the Oxford vaccine being the one we can get the most of, because all the news told us is that they are about five weeks behind everybody else, so that takes us to after Christmas.
So keep getting the Marston's bottles in, lads, there are plenty in every supermarket. Are there any distillers or wine merchants that Marston's have an interest in?
The Spanish variant of Covid we have already, it was spread to all the richer countries in Europe by idiot returning holidaymakers.
The Danish Mink variety is hopefully thought to be extinct already, thankfully, because those same idiot holidaymakers had probably put Denmark on their wish-list for a winter break.
