A bit of balance1 Jul 2021 10:29
Morning Greatlanders. As everyone seems to be getting somewhat febrile and understandably hungry for news, and with Shawn Dai on later, here are some balancing thoughts. Take em or leave em, I’m not precious but it is useful to be a bit broad shouldered about the noise we’re hearing and the news we’re not (yet) hearing. It’s news not noise that counts so do calm yourself if you’re reacting to noise.
So, Shawn is still assessing the company but making big operational decisions and working probs 24/7. And not spending a huge amount of hours on PR and comms which depending on your viewpoint is good/not so good. But he is doing as much as is appropriate and he has enlisted a PR co to do some of that promo. I reckon a PR ramp up will come.
News not noise will also flow regularly and it’s the red RNS dot you should look out for and read less of the chatter.
SP is dire and nobody knows what is happening short term. But be a big boy/girl and get your long term iron knickers on. September is when it’s all going to change. Summer break then news.
Manipulation. Yes/no/maybe. Think mid to long term (Sep 21 to Mar 22) when hard facts will be out.
And for goodness sake stop squabbling. All that achieves is our respected posters disappear for weeks cos it’s too juvenile here.
We are going to be richer than when we all started investing. It is taking a bit longer, agreed, so let’s swallow that pill.
And by the way, you’ve lucked out on being with GGP. Be thankful in these awful times to have alighted here, stop showing off (if you are) and display some class and humility. They are national characteristics in short supply right now which we had loads of on this board until December when the SP went south.
I’m relaxed about the fact we have stunning amounts of PMs in the ground. Well, maybe a little excited. Actually I’m hugely excited but learning to live with delayed gratification. Hope you are too.
Love nearly all of you x
