Sorry, meant to include a link, re the lovely Buttery:

Is there any chance of seeing the Aoka Mizu from the east coast of Scotland as she travels northwards from Rotterdam?

It would be nice to see her in real life, rather than just blue pixels, albeit through binoculars. I can't afford a trip to The Nederlands to see her in dock ( although a cool glass of Amstel Bock in a dock-side bar does sound good).

Maybe she will put into Aberdeen for some butterys?

For those not from the Scotland's central belt; His username is "Sookma", an abbreviation of the insulting retort "Sook Ma Boaby" (i.e. suck my **** )

This individual's crude, disdainful & contemptuous username tells you all you need to know about the value of his/her contributions.

Was an instant "filter" candidate for me.

Aye, you are probably right. No fun seeing this dip 4.5p below my average though.

If someone had told us back in mid-August to wait until November (when we would have a farm in, the AM steaming happily through the Med.), to pick up some cheap shares, we'd have thought them daft.

Aduk,
Nice one, very good drumming on that.

Given your last couple have featured "road" in the title, and the AM has just taken a short cut via Suez, here's a rather good locomotion themed detour:

Thanks for that. Haven't ever heard it so good. Great sound on that vid. Have bookmarked that one.

And thanks for staying on-topic.

Dead right Burton.
Looking back over some of my dealing history, I could weep. Only times I lost money was by panic selling on a downturn and the share prices have always bounced back. ( Apart from WSG and VLS which I am still glad to have got rid of).

Wish I'd listened to Mr Reason as far as VRS is concerned. Sadly Mr Fear has cost me a lot of money.

I'm still here. Mainly lurking because I don't have much to contribute but I enjoy any insights from others. I have to admit to selling a big chunk at a loss, panicking during the recent rapid fall because I'd bought in at around 165p average, held over the peak and couldn't bear the risk of bigger losses, bottling out as price fell. Lost several hundred quid.

I now have a smaller holding (sadly sitting at a loss ATM ) at a lower price, that I am more comfortable with. I bought back in partly out of a geeky interest in graphene and because this Co. seems the best run, most credible and most likely to succeed.

My intention from here on in is to hold, come hell or high water, and pass these shares (or profits thereof) to my kids in a decade or so.

Boyzee, Shedful, JayKay,

RE: Work, I was only pulling your leg(s), as I'm sure you know.

Although I live in Scotland, you won't get any slavish adherence to the Calvinist work ethic from me. Work to live, I say. And remember... "this day, never again". Hope you enjoyed your well earned leisure.

Various:

"...am off for a lunchtime dip."

"..Gonna tickle some canvas..."

"..Im off for a bit of hill walking..."

FFS! Does no one do any work around here? : ))

Sage advice Casapinos and your long term strategy feels sound.

It's what I've done until recently; bought companies that I know to produce quality goods or services and just keep them for years. It's worked out well.

Then recently, feeling cocky after 10 years in a bull market, thinking I had some share picking talent, dabbled in some AIM stocks. Enjoyed looking at the nice profits on the screen but didn't take them. Then, losing my bottle & selling at a loss while they dropped. Expensive, bruising to the ego and a well deserved slap in the face.

I still have my all HUR stock though. Sold the "bankers" recently as a cushion against the risk here.

Thanks AK, Casapinos and others for taking the time to respond to my query.
All very interesting. The thought of a dividend and still holding onto my shares would be enticing indeed.

However, its back to "auld claes and parritch" (old clothes and porridge) tomorrow morning and welcome to the working week.

(For some reason I feel more nervous now that the A.M. is at sea than I did when she was safely but impatiently moored to dry land)

Typo:

Would one type of "sell off" produce a higher yield than the other?

Ok, getting a bit ahead of myself here I know. (Apologies if I'm parading my ignorance here, but c'est la vie)

There are some who foresee a take over of HUR at some point and others who see HUR selling (by then) well proven assets and moving on to explore new ground. ( and this seems to what Dr T. says they will do)

Without debating which it might be, what would the actual effect on the future S.P. be in each scenario? Would one produce a higher S.P. than the other? Why, and for how long?

What I'm trying to understand is this:
If HUR "proves the pudding" by demonstrating a viable, sustainable resource field, then it will own a valuable asset which it can sell. This makes HUR more valuable/wealthier and its SP goes up ( I assume). However, once HUR sells the asset and boldly goes, to break new ground, presumably the SP lowers again?

The "take over" scenario is easier to understand (for me). Company X offers shareholders a price that we either take or reject.

In the proof-of-the-pudding-and move-on scenario, it seems a little less clear, to me, when/how "payday" occurs. Would one type of "sell off" will produce a higher yield than the other? ( not that I'll be complaining)

Ooft! I've just had a wee look on twitter at the Tim K. account and various responses and re-tweets relating to VRS.

I have to say, it's a cess pit.

What I can't understand is the constant stream of accusatory remarks at our CEO regarding the market cap price? Since this value is set by the market, investor sentiment, the movement of trades, etc why the barrage of abuse at our CEO who has absolutely no control over the SP and very little interest in it from a day-to-day perspective. His job is to run the company.

The amount of energy put into this campaign suggests that the individuals involved must hope to make money from their activities. If not, its a very weird hobby indeed.

Sorry, I've realised that was a rather insensitive question to post on this board. My mistake. Please ignore. ( Can't find any "edit" functions on this BB or I'd delete).

GLA.

Robin H, I see you are active on this BB and also VRS.

I've had a look at HAYD share price history. As a holder in both, what would you summarise as being the reasons for the large drop in HAYD over last 12-18months and do you see VRS as being any less vulnerable to a similar drop?

Just asking for an opinion and trying to understand graphene industry better.

Re; earlier mention of hydrogen power for vehicles.

This UK Co. have started up. Just for interest, no IPO.

Thanks Max. Yes, that worked fine and I've had a response.

Cheers. W.

Biffa;

"...simply derisking a bit. Now is the time to do it if that's part of your game plan."

Aye. Good advice. I'm keeping all my HUR though. I "de-risked" last week by cashing in some "safe" US stocks that had 138% and 68% profit on them.

That cash is now safe and should HUR not deliver as we hope, it will be used to mollify Mrs W. ( and my own conscience) that whilst the good times haven't arrived, I didn't bet the whole farm either.

There's "risk" and there's "risk".
