Age is how old one feels. I am older than you. Yet I am involved in serious scientific research on Genomics and human Brain (there is a demand for scientific papers from me; published 4 in Academia.edu in the last 6 months); Created and manage a Family Ltd. Company involved in letting Commercial properties (even have one difficult tenant), manage a reasonable portfolio of shares and above all very busy looking @ and admiring the achievements of my grandchildren (each one better than the other in school reports). I take heart from the recent research in human brain that has shown that NEW neurons are born (irrespective of age) in the brain when an individual does a new activity. So there is yet hope for me and, I assure you, for you.
There is an old saying; "A fool and his money are soon parted". Actually, I do not think any sane person will buy shares on reading "rampers" in a Chat column. If s/he does, s/he deserves to lose money. Please do not blame rampers or derampers for the follies of some. Shareholders should be @ liberty to express their views.
I hold lots of UKOG shares and like most ordinary shareholders am in deep water. This is the First day I have written in this column. The present world conditions offer a good opportunity to the UKOG BOD to do better for their long suffering shareholders. What are these world conditions? They are primarily related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Because of sanctions, Russian oil is no longer in the open market though Russia will be selling a lot of it to India, cheaply. Reportedly, UAE and Saudi Arabia leaders have declined to speak to the US President about increasing their production. So the market is ripe for small oil producers like the UKOG. In the last 18 months the price of Brent Crude has increased from about$40 to about $110 and some unviable oil wells have also become viable. Thus, even a relatively incompetent BOD of a small oil company should make good profit. I hope UKOG BOD will.
While the Ukraine war is on, West cannot integrate Russian oil. It, however, has another big market, India. Russia & India are identifying an Indian bank for trade with each other. India will deposit Rupees & Russia Rubles in this bank. Then Arab oil will be available to the West. India will also invest in some Russian oil companies ( very cheap, currently). It seems that India is the only country to benefit from Putin's folly of attacking Ukraine.
There is an ongoing, mostly positive, discussion about the Suzhou's stake in Prem. There seems to be a consensus that it is good for Prem investors. I agree. There is also some consensus that China is monopolizing Lithium - again, I agree. Where I part company from most commentators is that I do not think Lithium is the ONLY answer to our search for long life batteries. As a scientist, I know some scientific developments are unforeseen. Research for cheap long term batteries is going on. Previously, I mentioned the use of Sodium & Potassium. Other materials are also likely to be researched. In the short term of 5-6 years Suzhou's participation in Prem will increase its share price. I think it will be 0.7 by the year end and 2p-3p in 2-3 years. I shall enjoy the ride.
I am a very small shareholder, under water. I am very busy with my scientific research, etc. and am rather a bit old. I have never contributed to this column and the ONLY reason for this piece is to THANK you for your wise & excellent contribution. Thank you. I hope some others will also say; thank you.
Some harsh words are being unnecessarily exchanged in this column. It appears to me there is truth on both sides but different truths. There is ONE simple fact, namely, GR is NOT now exclusively in control of Prem. Ohers with different view points are now in the decision making group. Prem is now different but it will take a little time for it to become obvious to all. The recent ยฃ12m agreement is the starting point. In the next few months other developments will take place. As I am not privy to the decision making group, it would be foolish of me to make a forecast. I do not think it is wise for any one not being privy, to forecast or advise a development. I suspect some will continue to do so but they need not be taken seriously.
Unusual for me to write 2 messages in one day. I, however, feel that my previous message, probably, did not have the desired effect. My message is simple: GR is no longer the absolute decision maker on Prem. We now have other people involved in the decision making and, therefore, future decisions will be better. Please forget the past and look to the future.
I am sorry for the new Prem shareholders who are showing a substantial loss on their holdings. I said previously that there is no correlation between the share price of Prem and the increasing price of Lithium or some other commodity. I have never been impressed with the leadership of GR but there is NOW a dim light at the end of the long dark tunnel. The reason is some new people have joined the Board of Prem and gradually their voice is being heard. I think Prem's share price will double (at least) by the end of the year. There are some people who seem to be busy "full time" in writing in this column. I shall try to increase my holding as and when I have enough money for gambling. Good luck.
Snowking, sorry for the bad news. Russia is recruiting Syrian soldiers on 6 months contact from its allies in Syria to fight in Ukraine. They will be better than Russian soldiers because they are fighting fit. I hope that because of the bad economic conditions due to Western sanctions, Putin changes his mind and agrees to stop the war in Ukraine. Otherwise there will be more killings for about 6 months.
Please do not blame Snowking or any one else for being positive about Prem. The current fall is due to Putin's folly in Ukraine. Russia if financially busted. Stock Markets in every country have fallen and continue to fall. Even the bank are down by 8%-10%. Putin's folly is likely to last for another 2-3 weeks. He thought that he will have Ukraine in 3 days. After about 5 weeks he will have to admit "defeat" because his army is not capable of fighting a modern war. Then stock markets everywhere will rise and so will Prem. Please, keep faith.
I write in this column when I have something new to say as I have over 93m shares in Prem (Fortunately, @ .32, in over 50% profit). Today, it was about Quantum batteries. Otherwise I am very busy is other spheres despite my age (rather old, some would say very old). Brief biography: was lecturer in Maths @ an Indian college. Americans chose me under their POINT IV programme to teach Maths in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia). Then I got a job to teach Maths in a school in England, taught in every type of educational institution in England. Ph.D. from UCL; Lots of scientific papers many with French & US Professors; one peer commentary paper (13 scientists commented on our paper and we replied in the whole issue of a Journal). Currently, editors request me to write a paper; lot of favourable response to my papers; Served in important positions in my professional RSS and Lecturers Union. Today, scientific progress is rapid in all fields; we can now even change the structure of a gene. Incidentally, it is NOT the size of the brain that counts but the number of neurons in it; NOW we know that when a person ventures on a new task, new neurons are โbornโ in her brain; so there is yet hope for me. Abuse does not suit a decent person. No one is forced to read me- Just ignore me. Thank you.
Comments in this column are mostly from Lithium worshipers who tell us that the Prem shareholders will soon be in the Lithium heaven where roads are paved with ยฃ50 notes that a shareholder can easily pick up. Most of these worshipers are NOT scientists and, therefore, are not aware of the scientific developments in the area long lasting batteries. They seem to think that long lasting batteries can only be based on Lithium. The pace of scientific developments in many fields has increased since 2000 when the human genome was deciphered. Previously, I mentioned research using calcium & potassium in batteries. Now I find that Research is continuing in Quantum batteries that will use quantum mechanical principles. I am not familiar with this principle as my area of research is genomics and human brain. Once I understand the quantum principal, I might be able to explain it. All that I can say NOW is; this is the future and NOT Lithium.
I am not a material scientist. My fields are Genomics & Brain sciences. The odd thing about scientific research is that, invariably, it shows how wrong many reputable scientists are. In the latter part of the 20th C, most scientists (inc. myself) believed in polygenes. Pick up almost any reputable journal published between 1970 and 2000 and you will find papers on IQ (a polygenic trait), etc. In the year 2000 when human genome was analysed, we found that humans have ONLY 20K-25K genes. There is no room for millions of polygenes, many of them determining a polygenic trait. Much of research papers of those years have no value. Today, in these columns Lithium is the magical material that will take Prem shareholders on the proverbial broom to the financial heaven. Being a scientist, I am not convinced. I have already stated here that research is going on to make efficient, long lasting batteries using Sodium, Potassium, etc. Forgive me, Lithium Heaven might be as real as the magic broom BUT it is nice thought.
One is amazed @ the dedication of some contributors to the Chat Column of Prem. Rain or sunshine, Day or night, one can be sure of their presence in this column. True, they often repeat themselves but that is to ensure that no one misses their wisdom. Some of them continue to remind us that the 10p heaven is not far away and that all Prem shareholders will ride on the mythical magic broom to that heaven. Each Prem shareholder should be grateful for their generosity of devoting all their time to keep our spirits high. There might be a foolish shareholder who occasionally entertains the wish that they might find some other equally rewarding hobby but most will remain gratefully attached to their wonderful contributions.
Reading hundreds of Chat contributions here, one is tempted to make a simple mathematical model. Xi is China's President. Prem is a Hindi word, it means "love". The mathematical equation (model) could be: Xi + Li (Lithium) = Prem ( a sort of Love heaven). As the Great Urdu poet Ghalib talking of Muslim Heaven, said: "We know the reality of heaven but it is a nice thought".
I thought you knew. I was born in ****stan, spent most of childhood in Muridke (the only ****stani town with its name appearing in a US law as the HQ of a terrorist organisation LeT). Perhaps, your use of 786 is having a +ive effect on the PREM's share price! Thanks.
