""Yeah it’s tough trying to force reality on some people""

This is where you're going wrong Croz, it's not your job, role, responsibility, right to 'force' anything on anyone. The issue is now that everyone on the board has heard all the lines from you and Illbetabuck, it's just NOISE to be made fun of. At least come up with some new material for the double act :-)

""Until the fat lady sings.....""

LOL, assume you are shorting then? (not that anyone should surprised). Let's see how this plays out then and who has the final say :-)

Did you hear about the race between the giraffe and the ostrich? It was neck and neck the whole way.

How long are you staying around today, illbetabuck?

You still haven’t given me any opinion on the parking situation at SXX.

You will never get skier to change his opinion, best not to engage if you are planning on holding the share.

If the news is good then chase him round the boards. If it’s bad, don’t look at this BB ever again :-)

Let’s see which way it goes, one side is right and the other is wrong. :-)

Skier give us an impartial view on something. What’s your view on the parking situation at SXX?

Thank you Fred, very nice of you to say that.

Happy B day to your husband.

I didn’t get my wish but I had a lot of fun on the BB earlier today. Prepare yourself for the next onslaught in the morning or later tonight.

Remember don’t feed them, they just get bigger!

bandanaman, you can make the pain stop immediately! Just sell. If you honestly believe what you just wrote then why would you want to hold onto your shares?

I don't understand why you wouldn't just get out now?

Why start this thread? did you think the BB was a bit quiet and you wanted to see if we can re-attract some people back to liven it up?

why you feed these guys I don't know. Also, not sure what you are looking to get from the answers, your investment decision is your own and if you are basing your decision making on what other faceless BB posters tell you then that's not a great strategy.

Oh well...... 200k @ 3.5p.

why has something happened? :-)

Interesting the figures are different from the FT, but the trend seems to be the same. I wonder if something is skewing the data or is it the reality is that IIs have invested more... ?

18mins in on PMQ’s Bo Jo just confirmed he would be spending 13 Billion pounds in investment in the North of England. Make of that what you will. I’m topping up.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There is zero chance of a govt guarantee... but god I want to be proven wrong. I can't even imagine what would happen on this BB if that announcement came out :-)

Come on Boris & govt!

I know some people are going to jump on this, but for me this is why I utilize funds and then a small number of established div share... you can still get caught out, as will any investment, but it means you don't spend too much time on BBs and DingYOR....

Then have some high risk **** or bust investments.

Again, it's what works for each person.

Just before I go and get lunch one last post.

illbetabuck, since you are super active on the board ATM, I wanted to get your views on the car park observation made earlier this month. All cars reversed into the SXX parking lot. I'm convinced it's a sign.

Any views?

The % may be slightly out (for some) but the principal is obviously a sound one (no pun intended for any oilers out there)

interesting!

https://markets.ft.com/data/equities/tearsheet/profile?s=SXX:LSE

last month it was 31% (from memory, will try and find the site I was looking at that had trending. I think someone may have posted a question about the II holding a couple of weeks ago and stated the %

Don't worry Thatscoffee, we are just sitting at 3.009,

I'm not sure what response you expect to that post? Personally, I don't care how much the guy is paid, or worth, I just want him to get the situation sorted (something he has failed to do so far) and communicate the plan to the market.

This share is going to continue to be under pressure till news comes. News is the only thing that will make this share go up. If SXX don't have any then investors are in the ****e. If they do then game on!

"My message to others is if you can bring your average down: do it"

Not sure who posted that (hopefully not me) but no one should give advice to any other investor unless they are qualified to do so. Being on this BB does not qualify you :-)

Each person's situation is different. I have huge respect for people who bit the bullet and crystallized their losses. If nothing else, they get a good nights sleep and hopefully are far away from this BB. Takes balls to make that decision and do it. Kudos to those guys & girls.

Equally, it takes a level of sanity to stick with this share. Come on SXX give us something... anything ?

"Yes, ''accepting'' you have paper losses is key, "

Calling them paper losses is not acceptance, it's an illusion.

OK, if it makes you feel better replace 'paper losses' in my post to 'current losses if I was to sell now'.. no difference, right? Same as paper gains... They are only gains when you sell the share...

Man it would be nice to have paper gains in SXX :-)

Spot on Svartisen!

"And secondly I haven’t lost any money yet"

Accepting losses is part of playing this game.....

++++++++++++++++

Yes, ''accepting'' you have paper losses is key, then you need to decide what your strategy is. That may be as simple as **** it, I'm here to the end, or it may be, I'm going to crystallize loses now and re-invest somewhere else, or never go near another share again :-) . It could be that if the share price goes to 6p you're out. Everyone's strategy will be different (but you need a strategy).

That decision can only be made by the person holding the share, but that decision needs to be taken with the acceptance that as it stands there are paper losses.

Nice conversation pivot Brad!
