Believe what you WANT to believe Pinocchio. Bird certainly would not even have sufficient influence to get into a half-decent London Club let alone mix with mega-CEOs. Mr Smith`s yarn is no more than a fairytale.

Mr Smith: Surely, you are not inferring that the `Yorkshireman` might, perhaps, have been Bird?

the CEO of AAL, (with an MCAP of over £24 billion) would certainly not waste his time associating with an AIM mini-tiddler. It just wouldn`t happen!

Gosh gogsthelogs! Seems to me that you have a severe grasp of the non-essentials of life.

I find it difficult to imagine that any investor can see a way out for HE1. Its well-and-truly in a downward spiral.

Well Analytical - I am sure that you must have finally spotted that HE1 is going the same way as your RMM did. A rapid cascade down to nothing. 6P today, but in 3 months time . . . .?

Incidentally, you managed to drop your monica which you use here whilst away on GLR the other day. Careless boy. Attention to detail is so important. Must have been basic, even for an ONC!

You can`t fool me Analytical. I am a tad too sharp for your overly-simple ruse of 14 and 15 Dec!

Your opinion on Bird is very perceptive Iky, Time will tell,

Well, with my simple maths, and equally simple observations of the Buys vs Sells this week, even I can`t reconcile the 9% drop yesterday.

I like your pragmatism Iky. It is a rare quality on this Board!.

To be blunt Levi: Bird hasn`t yet EARNED any laurels to sit on.

Whowrotethis - Your "When Vulcan turns up the share price goes up …" Of course it does - it`s my charisma! Seemingly though, I don`t seem to have much of a long-term effect. I will work on it!

As for Bird being busy on Twitter - the pragmatist in me KNOWS FOR SURE that Bird and his GLR Board know far more than those here, who can only hang on to each other`s imaginative dreams, views, opinions and `perceived` knowledge. Some even spend their whole current being, here on the Board trying to impress with such `knowledge` - and continue even when their earlier predictions have invariably come to nought - aka `had been completely wrong`!

But folks, here is the pragmatist in me . . . . . why has neither Bird, nor the members of his Board, shown ANY interest whatsoever in increasing their holding in GLR for WELL over a year? Think about that, for I guess that many, if not most of you have increased your holdings within the last year. Goodness, not to invest further would surely have been foolish when the Clever Mathmatician amongst you has, from time to time, regularly worked out what the future, astronomic gains from this and that hole being dug in the Zambian ground will surely produce. But, in truth, he doesn`t really know does he?

Slightly repetitive, but am I the only one who hasn`t questioned the lack of any recent, further investment by Bird and his men? And, not for WELL over a year and more! Strange that!

So, finally let me add to the regular, ambitious, dreams of so many here - my simple prediction is that GLR will NOT be a multi-bagger during 2024!

To finish, for the last 3 years Oiltap, (who later became Analytical) has unequivocally predicted (in each January) that GLR will become a multi-bagger for each the last 3 years - no ifs nor buts. I suspect that he may be a bit more circumspect this year, knowing that some will notice! But then, he has been clearly predicting that within his countless offerings this year already. We will see!

Yes Cri5p - EUA did rise to 40P very quickly, and then, almost just as quickly, dropped down to 2P and lower, where it has been ever since.

The copper `bull- run` is, to me, rather academic, just as it has been for GLR too. For months, one or more contributors on both of these Bird boards have been reciting the daily ups and downs of the metal. Why do they think that this is so vital, apart from trying to impress their vision, and showing that they are `always on the ball`?

One simple fact, to me, seems paramount. Copper, and its price, remains completely academic if the company has not, to date, managed to produce any!

Yes Prickly. "Lots of good news in October" . . . . . . . but, which October?

Don`t bank on `The Law of Averages` Iky, unless you know the odds.

I think that was likely in the Concordia days Chri5p. I jumped in on a tip from Columbo without doing much research. I was just lucky!

I don`t have the time or inclination to go back a year to find Steve4077`s post which some believe to have been the causal factor for XTR`s decline. That is a fatuous opinion. Surely, a pragmatic view, (rather than seeking for an excuse) should be that, if one man could significantly affect a significant drop in the SP by his comments, then surely the plethora of constant positive, persuasive `dreams` should have had a major, positive effect on the SP.

Perhaps those looking at the overall picture noticed the DREADFUL performance of Bird and his companies since he took over as CEO. That certainly would be a VERY significant factor to me.

A dividend of ANY amount from Bird and his cohorts, let alone £1M? What planet do you live on Cyber? When has Bird ever found it necessary to feed his `loyal ` investors with a dividend?.

Lucky: Bird has, on occasion, certainly bought additional XTR shares. However, in doing so, his judgement/assessment has been suspect. The value of his top-ups have invariably gone down!

I commented on Andrew`s XTR predictions of just 3 weeks ago when he `so knowledgeably` guessed that XTR`s SP would be above 2p within 3 weeks or so. A silly, wild guess then when, actually, he didn`t have a clue. I await his response with his excuses.

When-oh-when will people recognize and accept that XTR is one of Bird`s companies, all of which have an appalling track-record since he took over. Analyzing every last little tit-bit of events to death has invariably lead to opinions that never materialize.

Whilst Andrew`s predictions of 3 weeks ago now, frankly, look ridiculous I don`t suppose that even the most pragmatic, sanguine of followers 3 weeks ago would have expected the SP to be where it is now. But, let me re-emphasize, the man at the helm of XTR is BIRD - who firstly, and unequivocally, should be recognized for his disasterous managerial results.

Seemingly, Bird`s RNS`s work very cleverly in one way - they keep most investors here hooked. But, and it is a very big BUT, should knowledge of the past also be taken into account when predicting (aka dreaming) of the future? I am on the firm opinion that it should! Looking at the wild predictions of just 3 weeks ago, perhaps I may be right!
