Would love to buy you a pint at the £1 party tuckupp - priceless post - covers it all in one line.

Is there any room on that fence you're sitting on? :)

As you know from previous posts, I share your concerns regarding the upcoming bond sale, you can't spend it until it's in the bank, once bitten, twice shy etc.
GK and several others on here are convinced that this is a done deal, so on a scale of 0-100 could I ask what do you think the chances of success are in regards to this?

I noticed the build v bonds debate opened up again late last evening.
'Stanley67' at 22.18 'the construction is all that matters at present' followed by
'Lauren Louise' at 23.20 'what about selling some bonds'
This build and the team behind it always has and continues to be hugely impressive, but the recent failure to deliver ongoing finance with the often quoted 'minimum dilution' has led to an air of caution, as the market remains unsure about the ability to secure the finance to continue/finish this world class project.
The general consensus on this board two weeks ago was that the upcoming bond sale would be a formality, lets hope we get an update on this major de-risk event before September, then we can look forward to the vertical shaft sinking machinery further de-risking the project.
When these two major hurdles are overcome I believe our share certificates may be worth a dollar or two more, so keep one eye on the build and definitely one eye on the money.

Yeah, shame about Rafa, he could have taken the Darlington job if he'd left sooner. :)

I don't think you've lost the plot Fred, I've read your posts over the last couple of months and think that you are a genuine poster who some time ago made a rational decision to try and do the the best you can for your family going forward and no one can knock that sentiment.
Ignore the 'noise' and keep to a long-term investment time frame (2021 -24 and beyond) than most seem to have and you will be rewarded several times over.

Maybe I'm having a mid-life crisis (ok, 2/3 life crisis) and I've got my fundamental analysis completely wrong, but I believe Sirius Minerals has:
A proven ethical product - customers waiting to buy - 100 years worth of reserves - world class engineering/ development work force - state of the art machinery - local political backing - sovereign wealth fund investment - French international banking investment - etc etc...
Surely anyone who might stumble across this for the first time on Monday morning may think that this might be worth a punt from under 14p going forward to 2012-24 or am I missing something?
Informed opinion is that the bonds will be away in the summer, allowing us access to the carousel finance, so why has this board spent all weekend wearing out their keyboards batting away the naysayers?
Just ignore them and look forward to Myosotis updating us on every minute (I couldn't spell minutiae) detail of the build every day once the bonds have been sold in the summer.
Honestly, when I first did my research on this stock in 2012 the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end and I couldn't sleep for 48 hours.
Have I broken the no.1 rule of investing and 'fallen in love' with a share. Not really, it's just in my opinion and after 30 years investment experience, I know when I'm onto a winner.
Is this a blatant ramp or a genuine post - You decide.

Top drawer as always!

Nothing wrong with a bit of gallows humour to keep us smiling, keep it up!
Looking forward to tuckupp's weekly rib tickler on Saturday evening.

Don't worry ffc, the sunshine bus always takes them back home around 4.30pm.

Scotman - I probably should have used 'opaque', but the definition of 'oblique' is 'not expressed or done in a direct way', so it will do.
I'm guessing (like me) you've too much time on your hands this morning - off to work for me soon I'm afraid.
By the way, you're on my list of 20 mainly because you take the time to keep the muppets on here in their place.

I have a list of around 20 posters from this board who I have flagged up as having integrity, honesty and intelligence - you have been on that list for quite some time.
I've noticed that the frequency of your posts has sadly declined, bur totally understand your reasoning, especially after your keyboard tussle with ..
I left this board for 4 years, but have been dragged back by recent events.
Whether we hear from you again or not, rest assured that many on here respect your input and will continue to do so, should you choose to continue to post.
All the best.

PAAA - Two points:
1 That clue you gave is far too oblique for most people to work out
2 The use of the word 'ameliorated' - behave yourself!

Roobans, couldn't agree more with your post, but if you can work that out why can't other investors do the same, you don't have to be a genius to see what's going on.
The CEO has stated in the past that he would like to see less private investors and more institutional money in the company, in order to reduce volatility and on the evidence of this week you have to admit he's got a point.

After midnight three wise owls post late night thoughts.
New posters always welcome and some very interesting and thought provoking points made.
Makes a refreshing change from the 50 odd 'this will be 10p by lunchtime' dross posts.

Now that's what I call a long term holder!

That's cheating - you haven't specified which Xmas.

And that is the age-old argument Dadean, do you make your investment decisions based on technical analysis or fundamental analysis?
It makes more sense to me to predict a share price changing based around actual events without using software, because that's all we had before computers, but we're all wired differently so each to their own.
As Sippn said last evening, the jury is currently out.

Avo, not saying it is true, just putting it out there for you to muse on.
Do you believe him or not?
You have to trust someone at sometime and believe me, there are worse chairmen out there than Scrimmy, I've worked with one or three over the years and regularly went home wondering how they slept at night - no consciences or morals whatsoever.

Sorry for the confusion there Bob.
Also on the Sirius Facebook page was a screenshot of an old tweet from Chris Fraser which I believe was a reply to an enquiry by a shareholder regarding the future finance plan, it read: ‘the stage 2 financing will be 100% debt’.
If your blood pressure is running high right now I guess this won't help. Surely he must deeply regret saying this on a regular basis.
When you invested your hard earned folding in this share, you must have looked at a timeline of no less than 2021 -2014. Try and keep to that and ride this storm out - it's a junior mining share after all - not a low beta FTSE 100 share (yet!).
