Yes, cj, far too much hype. I'm never quite sure whether people who post very short statements along the lines of "AMAZING news coming!" are trying to convince the rest of us or themselves.

With regard to "just around the corner", in the very short term whoever started this thread (and I don't know who) created a bit of a hostage to fortune. We need something good to happen Wednesday or Thursday (I discount any effect of Friday) to have any chance of reaching 0.40p, IMO.

I don't really understand how traders are "helping to clear the overhang" if what they are doing is buying it up and then selling it all back again. Surely what we want is for people to buy the shares and damn well hang on to them?

Bonga, the AIM market is always collusion and always operates in total opposition to the normal laws of supply and demand. Imagine if Sid Spiv had a Vauxhall Corsa on his forecourt marked at £10k and 25 people were queueing to view it, and he came out of his office and said "Right, folks, it's eight grand".

Thank you for engaging with us, HH. Your input will inform our discussion.

I am a miserable old curmudgeon, I know. I make Victor Meldrew look like a stand-up comic by comparison. But "incoming" is another one of those Americanised expressions which really grates with me. Why "incoming", why not just simply "coming"? It's like this almost universal use of "reaching out to", which seems to have replaced the much shorter "asking". And as for "train station"!! Grrr!

Thanks, stevebt, for explaining that. And the fact that it is a (probably accurate) prediction gives the lie to the apologists who shrug it off as just "ordinary, hard-working folk" spontaneously coming out on to the streets to vent their frustration.

Indeed, cj. Is it some song lyric? Is it rhyming slang? In the absence of anything sensible on here I suppose we should be grateful for erudition. Or is it just obscurity?

I've often seen the explanation that the really tiny sells you see from time to time amounting to about £2 are MMs sending signals. But today there's a sell realisiing £11.37. Why would anyone want to liquidate £11.37?

I try to mediate between both sides, as always, despite, as you will perhaps have gathered from my most recent posts, I am finding it very difficult to maintain any optimism about the fate of my money in this share. And my middle--of-the road argument, as it has been several times in the past, is that "Iron ore prices soaring" is all very well and good, but needs to be capitalised on by getting some iron ore out of the ground and selling it. P bloody D bloody Q.

I don't think many people are actually hoping for a buyout, smiller. I think they fear that the BOD will recommend a buyout at a level which will leave them in loss, and they would like to minimise that loss. I'd certainly prefer 0.50 to a incessant drift down to 0.05, from where there'd be very little chance of rescue.

Of all the posters on here, I'm sad to see Lyndon's disenchantment. His buoyant optimism has been something to perk us all up from time to time. I'll miss his encouragement to we "space cadets". But sadly, I cannot argue with his change of heart. Like Lyndon, I'm afraid that I've just about written off my money here.

C@B, the trap small investors (like myself, I am no better) fall into on these boards of small AIM companies is believing that there is some kind of camaraderie between us and the people running the companies. Because the companies are small and we are long-term holders who chat regularly, we get a false sense that the BOD and we are "all in it together". It somewhat amuses me when posters talk constantly about the chief executive as 'Jim' or 'Dave' or 'Grant', as though they are close buddies from down the pub. There is NO camaraderie. This is capitalism, tooth and claw. These people (and I do not single out UFO's BOD) have no interest in us or what happens to our individual investments.

The problem now - and has really been for a long time - is The Boy Who Cried Wolf Syndrome. If you were told that things would be "shovel ready at the beginning of 2023" then, however positive you want to be and however long you will stick with the company, you have no idea WHAT to believe.

The phrase which slightly disappoints me in the first RNS is the one which says "the conversations to date" with regard to a possible jv. It may just be semantics and rather loose wording on UFO's part, but I would have hoped that by now we would have progressed a bit beyond "conversations". I'd have been happier if the term used had been "negotiations".

Come on, Unclejim, there is a lot of skill involved in running a bath. You'd hardly put the plug in, turn the taps on and tell yourself to come back and turn them off in the first week in January, and then get to the end of July before you think "Oh, Jesus!"

Yes, "anticipated" has less precision even than "expected", and certainly lacks the hostage to fortune of "will. So I wouldn't worry about it.

I said that the other day, smiller. RNS's "of significance" Not the dross that get us excited for a nano-second, until we see the title "Car parking spaces re-allocated", LOL.

Mr Devil, I'd have left off the very last word in your post. "Now" implies that this is in contrast to the game that has not been one of "waiting" so far :):)

Don't joke about AI doing it themselves, Steve. I said only yesterday that there's an apocalyptic vision of AI - within decades, not centuries - realising it doesn't need humans and eliminates them. And if you think that's stupidly fanciful, look what happened to the NHS last week with the internet outage. It would only need all systems supplying humans with medicines and food to be taken over and shut down.
