Not so Andrew. But, countless times over the years I have seen `well-informed` contributors posting opinions and predictions based on their in-depth research etc. Invariably, their imagination and hopes do not come to fruition within their predicted time. In XTRs case, long-term history should also be taken into account, particularly, with Bird`s history. So many people on this, and other boards, seem to regard him as a sanguine operator yet, to date, his overall performance as a CEO has not produced the goods (SP wise). Currently, most who have invested in Bird`s companies will have lost money, and I suspect that many will have invested having paid close attention to those `seemingly in the know` inputs, on boards such as this.

Simply Andrew, yesterday you were predicting/anticipating a 50% rise in XTR`s SP within the next 3 weeks or so. Hmm, we will see!

I think that we need pragmatism here, rather than hope (aka `wishful thinking`).

In the last 18 months, XTRs SP has dropped from around 7P down to 1.3P - that is collosal! If anyone has the inclination to check through the myriad of posts here during that period, they will note that there is an almost constant upbeat thrust/analysis/rationale . . . . . "this is going to happen/that is going to happen" - only, it never has in a way that has

then increased the SP substantially (and perminantely).

Andrew4444`s current rationale is no more than following the upbeat, yesteryear hopes from many contributors. As always, XTR`s slide has been, again and again, `just about to end` because of unqualified predictions. So, I wonder will we actually see Andrew4444`s imminent prediction of "SP rise to be well above 2P following very good Q2 results" and his more definitive ""SP to be above 2P by early October" in his latest post of 12:04 today?

Me? I don`t know . . . . . . . but I very much doubt it. I have seen similar predictions, from many, many supposedly knowledgeable and well-meaning individuals in the past who have then been proved wrong. Proved wrong FAR, FAR more often than being able to finally shout `BINGO - told you so!`

I should have added JDAU that the XTR issued to `counter` the official response you referred to regarding news from Zambia had no mention of Bird`s involvement/links with Shawi Fazaz and its significant implications.

As with other RNSs from Bird`s companies over the years, they say what Bird wants you to hear. From time to time, I have looked at `historical` RNSs of XTR , GLR, et al and wondered - so how has this particular RNS `affected the price of fish` !

The SP of Bird`s companies invariably indicate the truth. How many of Bird`s investors these days have actually made money in the last few years. Moreover, if the halcyon days are just around the corner, why aren`t Bird and his Directors jumping in now with big wads? No sign of him in GLR for 2-3 years - although his timing here a few months ago wasn`t too good!

How strange that ALL the comments this morning regarding TRUST, not just from me, but others have all disappeared. I wonder who used his influence to do that? I suspect that this input will go too. Certainly, Bird would not like anyone commenting on his integrity, or his involvement with Shawi Fazaz!

Whowrotethis:

I have a very varied fulfilling life old boy which leaves me far too busy to be fixated. However, there are one or two classic examples of `fixation` on this Board. Fixation here is when one feels it necessary to post WELL over 1000 posts per annum and, sometimes, over 10 per day! And, so often, the basic thrusts are repeats and repeats of repeats.

Anyway, lucky old me is just about to leave chez moi for Stanstead. Hopefully, come Analytical`s imminent multi-bagging event, others on this Board will also be able to drag themselves away too!

Whowrotethis:

I have NEVER admitted that I don`t read RNSs - that is a fatuous invention by Analytical. For the record, I don`t have a hatred for GLR and, believe it or believe it not, I made a handsome sum during GLR`s multi-bagging Concordia days. Something that Analytical can only dream about within his `knowledeable` (but blatently WRONG predictions over the last 3 years.

As for Bird, I could not `hate` anyone who I have never met. However, my disparaging views of the man are simply a reflection of his dreadful performances (SP-wise) of the companies he heads. I would certainly love to hear someone justify that!

Whowrotethis:

Where is your originality? Whilst repeating some of Analytical`s unfounded list, you could perhaps have added one to your list that definitely came from me and but, for obvious reasons has been ignored by Analytical et al. The addition? . . . .Share Price!

Well said BSmonitor! 99% of the inputs on this Board are either hype (intentional or unintentional) or plucked out from Dreamland!

Flipper56:

Bird`s `focus` on GLR for many years has actually produced nothing that has had a significant, POSITIVE effect on the GLR SP. Over many years too, there has been lots of speculative hype (aka dreaming) that has undoubtedly attracted some investors. However, Bird`s performance as the CEO of most of his ventures has been consistently dreadful - vis a vis major falls in the SP of all of his companies. But, don`t worry folks, its all going to happen `tomorrow` - Er . . . . ???

Hmm. Not sure what happened to my last just now folks? The punctuation (vis a vis lack of capitals etc ) seems to have gone hay-wire. Thought that I had better mention this before Analytical manages to use this in a further attempt to ridicule.

Yes Analytical: Keep talkiing on what is blatant ramping - and your sad aspirations and hope. You were constantly blathering similar ramping in your `capacity`as "He Who Knows Everything" whilst you generated some self-assumed importance as the self-opinionated `King-Pin whilst` flooding RMM with excuses as to why RMM was collapsing around your ears (aka going bust `quick time`). There, you wouldn`t /couldn`t accept that that anything that you could be sayiing could be wrong. But you were, and eventually EVEN you had to jumped ship and lost a packet to boot!

Where to go from RMM and continue with your desperate need to influence/control an AIM Board? And,here we are - the GLR Board!

When GLR`s SP drops, excuses after excuses or, if anyone has the audacity to mention your previously unbelievably blinkered hopes for RMM and its rapid colapse into oblivion, you ALWAYS ignore a response. Naturally, it would go against the grain - because, in your own mind, you can never be wrong.

But, with your incessant `contributions` Oiltap/Analytical` I would hope that some may perhaps question the necessity and/or value of your plethora of inputs to this Board of circa 1500 per year have actually helped anyone to JUDGE that GLR, presently, is worth a punt.

"He Who Knows Everything" is purely boosting his ego by sheer numbers of Board inputs - but his actual `analysis` within his inputs is , to my mind, mostly worthless.

To my mind, Icky has a better, pragmatic outlook. He is seeing things are they ARE. Moreover, I believe that he can read between the lines - good and bad. Analytical is incapable of highlighting ANYTHING but ANYTHING that is negative regarding GLR or Bird - even with today`s drop in SP. Look at his excuses, and his rationale . . . . . . Like me, he has no idea - but, but, he has an EXCUSE, as always.

But, then again, "Ramper Extra-Ordinaire " had a myriad of excuses during RMM`s earlier collapse. If you read them now, you would laugh! However, he will never even MENTION his tedious assessment of RMM`s potential - too difficult even for Analytical`s waffle because he was wrong, and catastrophicaly so.

ANALYTICAL. may i suggest that you reduce your inputs considerably. In the main, they have served no useful purpose.

If others care to look back, say for 6 months, and read what you were pontificating about then, and query, OK, so what? They may then just get my drift. The vast majority of your inputs have had absolutely no effect on GLR `s events (re its current SP etc).

Still Analytical, carry on as your retort tomorrow as to "VB`s flowery language", or your unfounded perception "That VB doesn`t read RNS`s - etc"). Where and when, so far have you been proved right? I guarantee that you won`t dare mentioning RMM and try to justify your Analisis and your stupid misjudgement - or my comments vis a vis same..

Analytical ; Re. your comment, late on 13 June.

As ALWAYS, you do not respond to ANYTHING that appears to be critical of you. As "He Who is Always Right" you have proved to be incapable of any meaningful self-analysis. In the real world beyond your 24-hours/day attention to this Board, THAT is a major flaw in your make up!

As for indicating that I should do some research - there is one thing for certain, you do infinately more research on AIM companies than I have ever done, or will ever do. Two things here - Firstly, I have much better things to do with my busy, varied lifestyle compared with your obvious lack of anything significant beyond living for AIM Boards. Over 1000 inputs on GLR PER YEAR indicates a very SAD, shallow existence. Get a life!

There is a second, critical point for you to admit to yourself. Even though, I guess in blinkered horror, you previously chose to ignore (or could not see?) the nugatory efforts of the VAST amount of research, and myriad Board inputs you had made on RMM, surely you must now acknowledge that you had been WRONG?! Even during RMM`s catastrophic landslide towards bancruptsy (remember, 40P down to 15P in less than 6 weeks and then, in a short while down to nowt!) you were still hanging on doggedly to your research , analysis and judgement for all of their worth and still giving a `Strong Rec` - "it is the time to buy"! Even those who, previously, had seemed to acknowledge your every word had jumped ship. Your dogged defiance of commonsense and the blatant obvious, must have cost you a packet as RMM`s inevitable, rapid slide into bancruptsy finally shut you up!

On to GLR, recent history should also question the overall efficacy of your immense research. Remember, for the last 3 years, (both as `Oiltap`and more recently as `Analytical`) you have been predicting a "multi-bagger year for GLR" . You were wrong in 2021 and 2022, and even I can confidently predict that 2023 will also be the same.

So, where has your research got you? To date, nowhere, save for your self-centred satisfaction of displaying your immense awareness of all things GLR? The SP potters around, up and down a tad here and there, but nothing to really excite.

I would suggest that there is one man who can see the whole picture FAR beyond the constant flow of `snippets` from your keyboard. That man, of course, is Bird! When making your silly, unfounded predictions, have you ever considered why Bird (and his Board) have not invested further in GLR for a long , long time now? I have and, to me, the answer is obvious. Nothing is imminent.

Datacheck: The arrival of additional £5.2M of funding is dragging somewhat, isn`t it? I wonder who was the dreamer who predicted, (back in 8 Feb) - "6P by the end of Q2". There, I`ve said it".

You note that the money from Glenover, on both occasions, increased the GLR SP on the day by a similar % to the MCAP at the time. Well, the increase you refer to would now appear to have been irrelevant when you consider today`s SP/MCAP. doesn`t it?

Pan-Lid: I sense that there are many on this Board who anticipate that when (and if) the £5.2M arrives, it will make a significant (and positive?) effect on GLR`s SP. However, Bird has already stated that the cash will go into GLR`s coffers in order to fund the day-to-day running of the company (and, de facto, his expenses!).

You have a good mem0ry Troajan! Yes, I made quite a `packet` - and all thanks to an early tip from Columbo.

Despite all of the constant hype on GLR these days, I remain unconvinced. The hype, or is it ramping (or both) has been going on for quite a few years now? "Its all going to happen (big time) tomorrow" etc. I still follow GLR mainly out of curiosity - with just a small holding.

My major reservation though is that man Bird. He talks the talk but, as yet, hasn`t produced the goods. Ah well, `tomorrow` perhaps.

Musicman: Do you also filter those who are consistently `ramping` on sight? Mind you, it is often difficult to differentiate between those who are actually intentionally ramping, and those who are just living in Cloud Cuckoo Land!

Hi Troajan:

Re your reply to kwadoku`s posts on Bird`s AIM records, you reason that kwadoku is "cherry picking the downtrends". Your `assertation ` here is not quite right. More accurately, Kwakadoku has purely listed the SP performances of BZT, XTR and GLR purely from when Bird assumed the mantle as CEO for the companies.

NB Don`t look at Bird`s Tiger Royalties - yet another one of his `success` stories!

Analytical:

Strange that you accuse Pan-Lid of "getting so excited over the smallest of movements", yet you choose not to notice that GLRs SP is actually down by 20% over the last 13 trading days.

There was nobody better than you at trolling on RMM Analytical. As now though, you ignored ANY response to you which contained accurate criticism. Re my last, no response (of course) to my ACCURATE observations about you and your analyses.

One thing must be obvious TO ALL though Analytical. In failing to answer my simple question "Do you still stand by your statement (in Jan 23) that GLR will be a multi-bagger this year", you must clearly no longer believe that is now likely to happen.

I understand your psyche though Analytical - as, I suspect, do most. You can`t bear to be seen or proved to be wrong . Thus, "He Who is Always Right" just ignores simple, pertinent questions that could, perhaps, highlight weaknesses in his self-percieved infallible persona.
