Paranoia is not a safe game.15 Jan 2022 21:28
I feel some people are playing that paranoia card here with what Barrick may do or not do. EMRA, the Egyptian Government, Barrick staff and Centamin are not stupid. The value failure on Centamin was inherited and Kees warned everybody here of the problem way before it became known. I listened to him and sold and may have missed the peak in price, but have always gained on my Centamin investment and avoided the huge drop from 203p to 119p on this share at least. I think the company is on the right track. Centamin is an opportunity to create value and the present team are working on it and if they succeed it looks great on their CV to leave Centamin and go and run Barrick (Eric Bristow will retire in a few years or at least go and run a consultancy). Kees according to Mr Tibbles is more positive on Centamin. That is good enough for me. Centamin at least are giving a vision and a story. Without those the motivation to invest is zero. We have something we can choose to believe in or not. The believers buy shares and those who don't go short.
All the best for the 19th of January. I think we will go up from our closing price. Tony
