JP8788 - good post. Any links to sites giving info on the ipo? Which broker did you use?

Suzy2 - The reason lots of us don't post here all the time is that we've got other things to do with our lives. Doesn't mean that our views aren't valid or well researched. I'm always up for a interesting exchange of views. If someone can deconstruct what I've said, fair play to them. But name calling I find childish or telling people they can't provide a pov abhorrent. You know what really annoyed me about your post yesterday Suzy2? It was that you let yourself down by jumping on the EricDraven train by parroting him. I had grown to expect only the best from you.

EricDraven: Please stop with the pomposity. If people are frustrated and are asking for change they have every right to be. You should respect other peoples' points of view rather than simply 'protecting your investment' by trying to silence those who disagree with you.

aug59 - fair point. You're right. I don't know what is going on behind the scenes. Perhaps he is trying alternative strategies. Cheers.

EricDraven - yes I have read his posts. And to cut to the chase, you were rude. Such behaviour is unbecoming. You should respect other posters' views.

johnthegolf - my post isn't about mining. It's about getting the business to succeed. People put up money because they believe in the asset. If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd say it was almost in Kurt's interest for no decision to be made. It's a tantalizing asset. People are tempted to buy in. If there is a decision against realising the Kallak asset, then he won't have such ready access to cash in the future. No decision locks in the temptation. And, oh, QE helps. (as in Quantitive Easing rather than Her Majesty, to avoid anyone missing the point). And being interested in a company and how it's run is about keeping the board on it's toes. It's an essential part of corporate governance. But you're right, it isn't part of greed and making a quick buck by not rocking the boat.

EricDraven - It's a bit of an over the top response from you, don't you think? Top Share Picks has a right to his opinions as an investor and he shouldn't need to simply sell up if he feels disgruntled with the way the BEM board is working. That's what share owning democracies are all about. Shareholders have rights. Tbh, I'd have thought you'd respect TSP's view a lot more. From what I can make out, you've invested a sizeable part of your pension in the company - and you risk losing out a considerable slice of what you have been working for all your life if the company doesn't deliver, losing out a lot more than many other small investors here. BEM has bucked the trend in holding a degree of value in all these years compared to many similar small m&e businesses because of long term holders (such as yourself, myself and others) not selling out, something we are all doing because of our belief in the realisation of Kallak as an asset. Kurt's on a roll with the cut of shareholder he's managed to get, and he's even managed to raise more and more cash out of them to build a company. So he owes us to try everything. And that includes treating this not as needing to wait for a process to complete but as a conflict of interests that requires imaginative thinking, outside the usual scope of a small cap m&e business. Let's face it, Kallak is the glue that is holding the company together and if there is a rejection, well, you can kiss your pension pot goodbye. Regardless of what your personal views are of the other assets, I can guarantee that the majority of shareholders, and the market, are holding for Kallak only. With a rejection, there won't be as easy access to fund raising anymore and the company will be trading at the 0.25p level if that. Frankly anything that can make it work, I would have imagined, would be welcome, not least by you. We're all frustrated by the lack of progress, some choose to simply sit back and wait, whilst others seek a more active posture. TSP is right to be frustrated and you should recognise that.

Pocko - I'm not really comparing a mining application to conflict. I'm comparing the fact that they are all conflicts of interest. They are of different scale, but they are conflicts. And the point is that it is possible to move conflict towards resolution. All conflicts are of a different scale. Not sure why you'd be offended by that point?

I'd agree the process is less than honest. It is serving one side rather than the other. That's the problem with relying on a process. Lovely idea if it worked but human nature interferes. So the key is to work on the human nature part. It happened in Northern Ireland where opposing sides were brought together for the common good, it happened in Colombia where likewise happened, and many other places. The situation BEM are faced with isn't too dissimilar. A conflict of interest that isn't being resolved. The problem is that it's all a bit too much work, and too low a priority for Baylan, so really the BEM board should look elsewhere to find a way to get people on board and present a solution to the government. It's worth considering that other similar differences of interest have been resolved without conflict and without little brown envelopes stuffed with wads of used notes. You just need to 'think outside the box' a little, to coin a phrase. Not sure if the board are considering any strategies beyond sitting back and waiting, but it would help to be a bit more proactive in resolving this. Hats off if they are.

Reasons for the down - profit taking, that's retail share trading for you. It'll always happen. Bank a £300 - £3000 profit if you made it in a day. It's not bad. Reasons for upside = patent approval, great potential for the company. Delivery platforms are a key component in vaccine delivery. More people (ok, such as me) will buy in as value becomes recognised. Conclusion - Nothing to worry about.

Bethany1 - Thanks, your response appreciated. And yes, I also agree that this is a strong company and the SP will inevitably rise up. Mine is just a different strategy in the short term. That's all. GLA. I'll undoubtedly dip back in ;-)

Hi Elite Trader - if you mean 'contrary' rather than 'controversial', then no, you shouldn't go. But neither should you get upset if I point out that what you say is rubbish. What you said was quite easy for me to 'fact check' as I have some in my ISA! Perhaps if you don't want people to point out the fallacies in your arguments, you should come up with some more solid arguments rather than resort to childish name calling. Good luck anyhow.

Elite Trader - Rubbish! It's listed as a company on my AJ BELL ISA investment! Interested to hear about the list of other cannabis stocks coming in the next couple of weeks with "better fundamentals"? What are they?

AJ Bell allow trading with this stock - I'd be quick given they are the first cannabis-sector company to IPO on the main market of the LSE in the United Kingdom (they're on the ASX prior to LSE, so not as 'new and untested' as some stocks).

I'd be interested in what you are using to see PDS back up to $6?- The Nasdaq ticker I'm looking at shows it is down 18% after market to 5.31! NSCI dropping like a rock today as a result. Unfortunately, that means the SP will fall! You can always dive out now, minimise losses, and dive back in when PDS go back up in x days time. Use the time in the mean time to invest in other risers. Come back and buy more shares then.

Given the total value of shares traded is less than the cost of a second hand toyota prius, I'd guess not. It's retail. Bu tI'd love to be proven wrong!

There'll be dips down, but these are likely to be short lived traders cashing in when they hit their 10% or 15% profit margin. The point being that the trend and sentiment is totally bullish towards NSCI at the moment. There is very little to suggest a trend back down at the moment. And with such sentiment, and absence of news, the price is likely to continue to increase. Given the rise so far today, I'd suggest it is unlikely to reach £1 by the end of the day. But you'll get a lot of traders looking at the market - and PDSB - when the markets close this afternoon, ready to put a buy order in tomorrow. And then off we go again.

Sometimes the trend is your friend. PDSB continued to climb post market close earlier today on Nasdaq. It is likely to continue to rise. Sometimes news leaks leading to these rises. Separately someone on ADVFN posted £1M order to buy being put through. I've no means of checking that, but that would be interesting, suggesting news is on its way.
