Charles Jillings, CEO of Utilico, energized by strong economic momentum across Latin America. Watch the video here.
Don't know about SP rocketing up. I hope so. I'm currently 70% down on my investment here, so I'm certainly struggling with the indifferent approach by the new boss towards my investment. But I remain optimistic (desperate) that he has better things to worry about than little old me and is simply focusing on bigger things. Slowly growing a more stable, institutional shareholder base, by ditching the pocket change plums like me could be one of them.
I'm starting to think the silence to PI's is a strategy to drive us away and the focus is on attracting bigger, institutional investors in place.
This is interesting. A quick look on Google:
Alternative dispute resolution ( ADR ) refers to ways of resolving disputes between consumers and traders that don't involve going to court. ... Common forms of ADR are: mediation, where an independent third party helps the disputing parties to come to a mutually acceptable outcome.
Doesn’t seem quite as bad, but I know f’all about this stuff to be fair!
I bought at the top, not a huge amount like others, but enough for me to feel pretty pants. I don't blame anyone but myself, which makes me feel even more pants.
I know it's a dog eat dog world out there. There's plenty of pitbulls on these forums. But personally, I can only feel empathy for people struggling with their investments. I guess that makes me a poodle.
You are not the tonic I need on a Monday. Off to the green bin you go...
I don't really understand this stuff that well. How do you know it's a trade?
A big sell that!
I am getting frustrated. I invested year ago and my pot is worth the same today as is was then, feel like a bit of a slog to get nowhere. But I'm acutely aware there are people here who've been in a lot longer than me, who are way down on their investment.
I do still feel confident it will happen before Christmas, of course the situation in Tigray isn't helping. It does feel really vulgar even thinking that though, when there are so many innocent people really suffering. Horrible.
That wasn't the minister of mines.
Harry's certainly not the most inspiring orator on the best of days, but he clearly struggled to hide his frustration at the relentless questions around funding. He is no salesman, he doesn't dress stuff up, he just says it how it is and I actually like this attitude. He wants the project done and dusted as much as the rest of us and I'm confident that it will happen.
...but I don't get how you don't get the positivity. Isn't a board normally going to be full of people invested in the stock, hence there will always be more positivity than negativity?
What on earth would be the point in someone spending their days posting about a stock that they are not have no investment in? And if they were invested, why would they bash their own stock day in day out? Some sensible words of caution around a stock is one thing, balanced views really help, but bashing people as clowns, embarrassing, wishing they lose their money is just a bit odd. Seriously, can't you see that?
I'm a pretty long term holder here. I'm desperate for a re-rate. I'm desperate for a photo of Harry and his mates cutting a ribbon in Ethiopia. There are probably a lot of people on this board who are in a similar position. But I'm also a realist. I recognise that timings have slipped, there has been delays, dilution etc. From my limited experience it does seem part and parcel of investing in a risky gold explorer AIM share.
I do agree it's good to have a balanced set of views on this board, doesn't help anyone too simply hear what you want to hear. But what is it with the vitriol? Calling people clowns, embarrassing, rolling out your favourite 'state of you' phrase, wishing people would lose all their money. Genuine question... why so angry?
...with all the tiny little buys?
This board has become a proper turnip.
Woah! 19m!
1m for me. Average 1.5p
I check this board for two reasons. 1) I'm invested so it seems a normal thing to do. 2) I have to work all day on a laptop, so it's a simple click to check sp and this board for a 5 min distraction.
My god, if I was retired... I'd learn to paint, eat cheese all day, go to the beach, drink beer, try paddle-boarding, learn the Rubik's Cube, see my friends, I dunno... but I probably wouldn't be here. Each to their own though.
A colonoscopy without a sedative would be more pleasant than reading these boards!
I'm in this share. I understand the risks, otherwise I wouldn't invest in an AIM listed gold mining company in Ethiopia. But ignoring obvious risks or past misdemeanours, this company to me at least, is positioned pretty darn well to get that shiny stuff out of the ground. And that shiny stuff is worth quite a bit at the moment. It could lead to a stupendous hike in the share price. That's why I'm in, simple as that. I'm sure it won't be plain sailing - I refer back to my first point above :-) - but you have to balance out the risk with the reward, and for me it's very attractive.
Oilbit. I commend your attempts at giving 'newbies' a more balanced view, even though I believe that's not 100% your drive. I think you just like having a good old verbal punch up on these boards. Like I said on another post. You're the drunk bloke who won't walk away and his wife is shouting 'leave it Oil, leave it!!' Whatever floats your boat, I just don't think it does anyone any favours going over the same old guff.
For those that own shares.... wait. For those that don't... seriously what the hell you doing here? And for those newbies that are thinking about investing in a risky AIM share... do some proper research, you won't find it on this school playground.
I filtered Oilbit a while back (sorry fella), not out of spite really, I just found the constant negativity depressing when I'm quite heavily invested and not quite in profit yet. But a number of people clearly haven't filtered him and probably enjoy the back and forth on his posts. This just makes filtering pointless as the threads are still all there filling up the board, you just cant see what the hell everyone is referring too which is even more frustrating! So I unfiltered him again. Plus, I do think it's naive to only want to hear what you want to hear, when you are investing.
But the constant, repetitive posts, negativity, name calling (which to be fair is happening on both sides a bit now) rather than just some informed, balanced, but differing viewpoints is as dreary as todays weather! Let's all have a little tea break shall we?
I agree, my experience of the webinar was pretty positive. Yes it lacked the slickness you'd get with a dedicated PR department, and there was never going to be some beautifully crafted presentation, filled with news of big pharma colabs.... Instead, we got to hear from a seriously talented academic about the groundbreaking work he and his team are doing. That's what he truly cares about, and that's what I am invested in and reassured by. Not the smoke and mirrors of a PR team.
Why hasn’t the RNS shown up on this page? Or is it just me?
