Great post Austin. There has been deception here and people including myself have lost a huge chunk of money. I can’t do anything about it now as I sold as I couldn’t tolerate owning shares in this company any longer.

I really hope holders seeking some answers l get those answers and hopefully receive some of their hard earned money after proving that foul play has taken place on a wide scale.

People who own shares are not rampers because they choose to believe official company documents released by RNS and see potential . They were (including myself) seeing very good reasons to invest which sadly is exactly what they wanted private investors to think. Of course there were red flags and of course some people were warning against buying share here. But every company has detractors and more optimistic investors who might comment . The key has always been the official company updates via RNS. Share holders have been misled.

I hold 665,000 shares and I voted against all resolutions . I did receive the message from Hargreaves lansdown about distribution so the content of the letter posted previously here was correct.

I have been busy losing all my money in copl so not been checking here much. I voted against resolutions here partly as I have completely lost faith in trusting the BoD’s in all companies under stress (because if copl experience) and partly as I believe the message I received through an email from Hargreaves lansdown should have been RNS’d to all holders. I am almost certain we’ll receive some money back however I am not expecting much, not based on anything other than a hunch.

Good luck to everyone holding

Coplherder have you considered speaking with your local MP about the private investors in COPL, maybe they can stop any action being taken ? I’m trying to throw you a bone here because I feel sorry for you . Your local MP would most likely pretend to listen to you at least. Keep it up as your motivation for posting here seems really credible.

If I were still invested I would listen to RBMinvest and fight tooth and nail. Good luck with trying to at least explore the opportunity to lift the lid on this. If they have it all covered so be it but if you’re staying in you might as well try.

I’d say sell , or be ready to fight all the way. Just waiting and doing nothing is the only option I wouldn’t consider.

Speel brilliant and important post. I have to have sold out for peanuts and have had to face up to the reality of my gamble. I sold because it felt like until I did this company would continue to dominate my thoughts and energy and I wanted control back. I to used the small amount of money left to do something nice for someone else to make me feel a tiny bit of the money I worked so hard for was put to good use. My mental health has improved and I already feel more disconnected from this nightmare.

I wish those who are staying in to the bitter end and may battle for some compensation all the very best luck in the world. But there is an alternative and that’s to sell to prove to yourself you can. I don’t blame people for staying in come what may as everyone has a different situation. But what I know for a fact selling has helped me. Yes still lots of pain and worry but I’m able to form a plan and see through it.

The notion of just sticking with it because you’ve lost too much I get but even if the share price were to rise 1000% would it make any difference to your life. Of course this wouldn’t apply to people buying in now.

Sageman I wish I had listened to you a long time ago. I was greedy, your advice is absolutely correct. Funds for me from now on .

Well done on your portfolio being ath.

I feel for everyone nursing substantial losses of which I am one. I have sold just to feel like I’ve taken some control back and so that I can’t lose a single penny more here. I have some facial woes now to fix as I lost more than I could afford to (my fault).

That is me done investing myself and I have become one of the statistics of unsuccessful private investors. I will be glad not to read these boards anymore which are a cesspit in the main. Of course there are some honest and informative posters of which I am grateful to have read and learned from at times. I have learned that some of the negative posters were in fact just being honest and weren’t just looking to get the price down so they could buy. If I carried on posting on these boards I think I would probably be classed as a deramper now as I’d be warning about red flags and ceos who could be misleading people.

For everyone who’s struggling right now keep your chin up , work out how to put one foot in front of the other and a plan to be free of this type of thing happening again.. For those investing in other shares or continue to hold good luck also I hope you claw your money back.

Sorry for the long post .

I am in agreement with you Leew now I’ve calmed down a bit, thanks . Let’s hope there is something good that can come from this .

RodneyT, good post , thanks. You’ve made some good points. I’m just angry and worried right now. Let’s hope for good news.

Leew, I have decided to keep holding and in so doing losing more money. With each day that passes without news share holders are likely in my opinion to lose more money. I think some people are being way too generous to the Bod. The line about private investors being patient as if we are too needy doesn’t apply anymore. These are exceptional circumstances . My bet is what they tell us on the last trading day of 2023 they could tell us now. I’ve lost all trust. If it’s bad news I’d rather know today .

It’s the disrespect and lack of empathy which upsets me most. They just don’t seem to care. The worst of the worst the people involved in this. No plan B ? Unfortunately they are part way through plan A which always involved private investors to lose money.

Who doesn’t benefit from a takeover at this stage ? It does seem a possibility . I’d take losing less and accepting a low ball offer just to be out of this company. Of course people with high averages would be the losers (including me ) but from where we are right now a takeover is very attractive .

I wonder what Arthur is up to right now. Probably dressed up as Santa handing out presents to children without a care in the world. I bet he’d be an awful Santa as well, over promise and forget to deliver. So far me waiting for some answers from the company has cost me more thousands. Merry Christmas

Well said Tonlin, particularly the stressful and uncomfortable ride bit. I also have chosen to hold because I want more information and the truth from the company before I decide my next move.

Currently a part of me is relieved, relieved that I will never again put another penny into buying shares in this company and maybe irrationally into any individual company no matter how big or small. The lies and deceit which I feel have been orchestrated and worse still, designed to take money off private investors like me have completely removed my will to invest. No amount of money that I could potentially make (which won’t happen) owning shares in this company would compensate for the stress, loss of time, and the feeling of being made a mug of.

I don’t want sympathy and don’t feel sorry for myself, I want to learn, and finally I have learned my final lesson when it comes to investing. From now on I will be the one who listens to those saying sti

ck to the FTSE 100 or a managed fund. Good luck to all the honest PIs on this board, I will slip out at some stage once we know the facts (if I don’t like those facts), or you never know I may continue to hold if I feel we’ve started to be treated with respect and honesty and I can see a route to making some money back. I certainly won’t be buying again.

All my views are my own opinion and I appreciate may not be facts.

He never appeared, it was Art who disappeared (with his massive salary), what a coward. The Truth might hurt but if we had heard the truth months ago I would be hurting a lot less than I am now.

I agree we deserve some answers. Maybe they are too cowardly to give us the answers as we won’t like it but I’d prefer to know the truth . I want some facts so I can decide whether I should sell or hold. At least let us know what the gamble is now. Furious

I’m long and find myself agreeing with AJEP , it’s concerning to see the share price fall at this stage of proceedings. However someone also posted that the financial mechanics being played out could be completely independent to how things are going operationally . This is my hope because if it’s not a falling share price when you hold cannot be good .

The bond holders sold down to these levels previously and then stopped and no doubt became buyers to help the spike to nearly 5p. It’s gone back down because they started selling again, they are in complete control until increased production is announced.

If we start to see increased production month on month and hit numbers required to be self sustainable and the bond holders continue to sell at least at this stage I’d be confident the financial mechanics are truly independent of the company performance. I would be much more relaxed . Then there is the JV.

This share is teaching me a very harsh lesson. I suspect we will bounce soon though. It's hit a point where even the most confident and level headed invstors must be concerned. I think the company need to come out and speak, how can they have nothing to say when the share perfomance is this bad. There are buyers about which gives me some hope.

I’ve enjoyed the small rise today. Tomorrow will be interesting to see if buying continues . Things hopefully turning and if this is the case then recent history suggests the share price can race up quickly. Yes there are more shares then when we last went up to above 4p last time, but we are also a lot further along in realising increased production (hopefully ).

I’m sorry for anyone seriously underwater and I don’t really know what’s going on . I’m hoping for a significant and fast recovery on some positive production news and just hope this is still market mechanics not based on the company performance (as in maybe we have turned a corner with production and we just haven’t heard yet). The bond holders will keep selling until the market is shown some increased production figures and then completely flip and we get a sudden reversal.

I do think it’s time for the company to tell us a lot more. With regards to the JV negotiations could they tell us that production is vital to it happening or if has nothing to do with it.. Set us straight,, fill in some of the blanks and maybe look like they care about us humble private investors.

I still think our fortunes will turn and I’m sure that’s why there is a lot of negativity from people that aren’t invested. They must be looking to buy in and maybe we are close to a pick up.. However I’d prefer the company to come out and speak as apposed to theorising why there are soo many trolls about.

Sorry again for moaning and good luck all share holders
