apunter - thank you for the extra background. Recent entrant to SYME but very keen to keep digging

I, and am sure others, would welcome some more of this spelt out in black and white :)

As for cake? I did this but with almonds and walnuts combined

Not too sweet and Mrs V and the junior V's loved it

Rather than engage and push relevant threads further and further away

I'll ask him privately to furlough it to 80p and £1.60 - that's all I can do :)

On the contrary Clumpet - I think it's great if it dwindles to zero. It would be a very clear indicator to me.

Thanks for the corrections extrader - every day's a learning day for me especially when it comes to the nuts and bolts of corporate finance & structures. Waaaaay over my head.

Way down tonight - around 26m

Tried working a 0.5p buy on my SB account on IG - no joy all day until the spread narrowed and we briefly went red at 16:15 when it executed before ticking back up.

Took a while for the first time since I've been invested

Veeeeerrrryyyyyyy slowly for my benefit:
On the face of it of course there appear to be lots of unconnected high net worth individuals and entities owning a slice of the action. On closer inspection though it looks like a narrower band of brothers and sisters driving this forward:
Supply@Me CEO Alessandro Zamboni 8.5bn shares in his name (approx 26% holding)
1AF2 s.r.l - "Sole Administrator" Alessandro Zamboni (23.91% holding - spread across 7 companies?)
Orchestra Group - President Alessandro Zamboni 2.2bn shares (approx 7% holding) which acquired 1.6bn from Ceresio SIM on Aug 18 2020
So safe to say AF's direct and indirect holding looks mighty bigger.
Ceresio Investors - Switzerland which owns:
Ceresio SIM / Banca de Ceresio / Belgrave Capital Management 1.6bn shares / Global Selection SGR [Global Capital Life asset Management] 1.6bn shares / Eurofinleading Fiduciaria 1.5bn shares
So safe to assume Banca de Ceresio is the captive bank but we see others involved in Micky's list
Eight Capital Partners - 3.1bn shares. Chairman Dom White 5.1bn SYME in his own name (Eight Capital provides equity, debt, and equity-related investment capital, such as convertible loans, to growing companies which are seeking capital for growth and development, consolidation or acquisition, or as pre-IPO financing. The Company may also undertake a reverse takeover or make investments into companies that it considers good candidates for future reverse takeovers)
Bit stuck on Equitable Capital S.P.A & Pictet Asset management other than the obvious Milan bases
Fin-Eco SIM 109m shares – Again Milan based but they opened a London office in Feb 2020. In the run up to Brexit!?
Also worthy of noting which others may well have commented on before my investment in the last 6 weeks... In July 1AF2 Transferred:
1.6bn shares to High West Capital (Singapore) to help open up Asia?
778m shares to Stock Loan Solutions LLC (nr Salt Lake City) to help with the US?
3,5bn to Union Pacific Capital Ltd (London) to drive UK specific uptake?
(another 15% or so attributable indirectly to AZ?)

Here's something on a couple of large holders which I've just found. Maurizio Belli and Emmanuelle Facile (1.2bn shares between them) have co-authored a book on Italian finance a few years back. Literal translation into English is “Credit for SMEs. How to get a company financed by the banks” https://www.amazon.co.uk/Credito-farsi-finanziare-lazienda-banche/dp/8863454256/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Please rip it apart and correct but in all honesty none of this is concerning for me and quite a fun job to try and get under the bonnet. If people have time and motivation then finding the connective tissue between all of the directors from all of the above companies that may uncover more but I'm happy and that's all that matters, lol
Conclusions? AZ bigger holding / More than 1 bank / International presence to launch worldwide :)
Hope that doesn't confuse further!

Cake was lus

Promise I'm not ignorning you - just trying to stitch stuff together coherent unhurried thoughts and juggling today with family and baking my wife my first ever cake!

I'm sure it's not a revelation to many but 1AF2's actions earlier in the year are intriguing...

Back later

Persistent - I'll give you that sharehunter

Best try your luck elsewhere

Don't worry about it LK77

You won't tempt any of us into BZT

"People stuck in ALBA, GGP , SYME , ICON, 7DIG will slowly get attention here (BZT) soon."

Byeeeeee

Great post Savvy,

You've highlighted the age old tension of PI expectation versus corporate aims. We all hope it aligns perfectly and in a timely manner (for our own personal reasons) but it cannot be sacrificed or jeopardised at the expense of the bigger game.

If we believe in this bigger game then we have no choice but to take it on the chin and wait - both for the big prize and for the smaller prizes in the form of us exploiting SP weaknesses.

oh and more of this :) :)

Sorry apunter I'm at the trying to stitch the seemingly seperate but not seperate at all entities together stage at the moment beyond the 4 in the Ceresio group but eyes are going...

Missus birthday tomorrow so may need to bail for now and be fresh faced in the morning for her and the offspring

I'm a couple of grand down on an aim piece of crap... I'm binning at a loss first thing for more here.

This is stunning on here tonight.

Peace, wake the f**k up!

Seriously great job guys. Success could not come a moment too soon...

In which case you're in a great position! Get 20k shifted first thing into an ISA as long as you've not invested in any other tax-free savings accounts

https://www.ii.co.uk/ii-accounts/isa/bed-isa

If not, you simply instruct your broker to Bed & ISA up to the value of your allowance left and they do it in the blink of an eye.

You will potentially lose a little in the transaction fees and spread but it will be more than made up by the CGT swerve were you to simply leave things

Have you used up your 20 grand allowance for 2020/21?
