The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
No I didn’t think I’d convince anybody, just thought I had to say something in CF’s defence .
Yes scotty very funny. It’s easy to criticise someone when things go pear shaped, but I’ve met the man on several occasions and have judged him to be honest and trustworthy. I know that he will have tried his best to make this project succeed and I know he will be feeling p***** off that he has failed to bring it off. It speaks volumes that he will receive a far smaller payout than he would if like all of us the project had come to fruition. Which would you choose given the chance £7m or £100+m , and yet people on here think he has done this deliberately.
Steady on Thatscoffee, calling me ignorant and then getting your % the wrong way round.
All I’m saying is that it’s not worth getting a heart attack,what is done is done , in my view CF did his best and it is not going to benefit anyone by name calling and mud slinging. The only ones who will suffer are the SH who can’t let go and drive themselves to an early grave . It’s not a nice situation that we have here, but accept it and move on.
So you’re not bitter then Thatscoffee
And the employees lose their jobs. The country looses billions of tax revenue. The local area looses a massive boost to its economy, but you will be able to sleep knowing that you’ve been spiteful and stupid by not saving a little of what is left of your investment.
Yes it hurts losing , but it’s time to man up (or woman up) and stop listening to these Self pitiful idiots who have only themselves to blame.
And yes I’ve lost a load !!
Devonplay, the asset that AAL are after is the mineral leasehold agreements with all the surrounding landowners, not the hole in the ground.
Well said green 73. I live right next door to the mine and I'm heavily invested too. I understand your frustration with all the doom and gloom set. If only they could see what is happening on the ground they would be less likely to talk this project down.
Thank you voltmeter for bringing the subject, that is on a lot of people's minds ,up. Nothing like a considered view on things to get ones mind back in gear. Selling is now bottom of my to do list . Just goes to show that "he who hesitates " is not always lost!!
I've always thought that I would sell half my shares when the SP gets into the 1p range and recoup my capital. But that would leave me with the dilemma of where to invest my capital again. So I would be looking for some solid investment with plenty of scope for growth in an expanding new market with the potential for a multi bag . So I would be struggling to find a better investment than what is on offer in VAST. So why bother to top slice?? I would be gutted if the SP got to 10-20p range in a couple of years and id got rid of half my shares. Just an idea !!!!

Yes welcome aboard notgrmpy. You sum up exactly what the locals are now saying about the effects that the mine is having on the environment " we don't know it's there". But the big plus is that the locals are realising what a huge impact this project will have on the economy and are now getting behind Sirius. I'm pleased that the SXX team have lived up to expectations and all they do is done right with no corner cutting . After sticking my neck out in the early stages of this project it felt as though I was the only local in favour, so again, good to have you on board.
Just to clarify . The money for the Red Arrows is coming out of the community budget set up by the clever people at Sirius at the planning stage which helped sway the vote at the time. From memory I think the budget is around �100k per annum to be bidded for by local projects. The local council have requested that part of these monies be used to enhance the Whitby Regatta by stumping up the brass for the Red Arrows. So although Sirius are paying for this show , it is in a round about way and they are not directly shelling out on a PR stunt.
