The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Hi Liam nice to see you are still around, glad the trolls have not chased you off. I have basically put everything me and family own into Ctag. When do you think Amit will sort things out and get us soaring again? If we reach 23p again, i was thinking of other possible investments. Digital Barrier looks like it has been doing well. Do you have a blog on this one I can read?
Yes expenses, lol. Quite a lifestyle. Funny what a rich vein African poverty can be in clever hands.
Tidd, where do you think the real money went during this fiasco?
Well good luck altag, sincerely. You're a braver man than me, hope it works out
Afpo ended up on the top risers board. Someone must've thought it was rocketing up here and threw in that £2k before doing any research. God, what a mess. Truly, what an effing tragedy you caused here CC.
Well tidd I did great here, and had even thought of leaving a few grand in just to let it run and see what happens. Thanks to you - and a few others, but especially you - the red flags were raised in time and I got fully out at about 1.95p. Love him or hate him, when Tom Winnifrith gets involved too, you should listen. All the garbage links on here from Waverider and Iknowheehaw, to COMESA and to websites that were clearly bogus to me (though I got banned for saying it) were warnings too that it was all a bit fishy. Then there was that Afpo Cocktail Evening - still available to enjoy on YouTube. Can't complain when you've ten bagged from .29p, but from a certain point onwards it was clear that this was bogus. Shocking really, but it happens, people get away with it, they do it again, and the whole AIM machine continues to chew up small investors - the same small investors who call you a troll, shorter or deramper when you try to warn them. You did what you could here mate, and you've been doing it for well over a year. Not your fault if people don't listen.
On to the next Africa / urban yoof related project I think for this clever young barrister. Ka-ching!
Just made it to the LSE TOP RISERS board! What a fantastic share. Bet the buyers come flooding in tomorrow! Watch us every day!
Did you hear me? Especially today!!
I'm afraid they are all gone - even Collapsible A and B. You can grab on to one of the plastic palm trees from the AFPO cocktail party if you like, but you'll probably still get crushed by one of the funnels...
Waverider can tell us how Comesa are the African EU. Sid can tell us big buys coming in. Just one more time. "Jack, Jack... this is where we first met!"
Shouldn't Waverider and CautiousSid be joining us on deck as the last lifeboats are lowered away?
Tidd I think the overriding problem now is the opportunities the AIM market now gives people who want to make a fast buck without ever producing an end result. Rather than run a successful company, you run a successful AIM concept - a share that gets ramped, that gets everybody excited, which pays you a fantastic salarly, gives you a great profile, and which you milk and milk and milk through dilutions, placings, finance deals and warrants. When it all ends, you walk away, leaving another LSE board of confused, angry and broken investors. It all seems to be about waking up and smelling the coffee in time now. On an entirely separate note, I see your earlier enthusiasm for CTAG seems to have waned....
"The problem AFPO is trying to fix isn't going to go away. " That's because AFPO has become just another part of that problem. Like they keep saying in the film "Blood Diamonds" - TIA. This is Africa.
Sorry guys looking grim here. I was in this for the 2014 crash under Ed Marlow, when it least was a kosher project. Made a bit out of the CC "watch us every day" hype but got out once the deals didn't materialise and the board was overrun with idiots posting things about COMESA and websites to companies that clearly didn't exist. Kudos to tidd and CaptainMorgan on here for for seeing right through this and calling it out in time for a few of us to get out with a profit. Thing that really swung it with me? This video on YouTube: African Potash Cocktail Evening - ESAF Conference 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gbaJGAIEGw I knew right then this wasn't the place for my hard earned cash. Best of luck to everyone. We were down to .29p a share before CC and his "watch us every day" hype got us back up to 3.5p. So some of us did ok. But no one wants to make money on the back of other investors, on what turned out to be a pile of garbage held together by smoke and mrrors. I can't look into the soul of CC. You look at his Made in Africa venture, and now this. What's left is a trail of broken and angry investors, and even the ones like me who made money from this jolly, who will never, ever invest in anything based in Africa again. And that's a tragedy, but I don't see how it will ever change. As the ambitions get bigger, those involved with them get greedier. Best of luck to all of you. i take it some of you are down here in the tens of thousands? Al I can say it, this thing rose from the ashes before. When it was at .29p last year, they weren't even worth me selling and I kept hold of them as a lesson to myself. Well I got lucky, sometimes you do. Hope you all do too. And remember - the basic, original idea of AFPO was a decent one, and worth investing in. Maybe it still is. While there's life there's hope.
What happened to this share? I remember it hitting 11p, then down to .5p, then up to about 1.5p. Has it been delisted? Where has the money gone?
