All I hope is that this is not yet another instance of that damn phenomenon that besets any of us who try to be long-term investors on AIM... 'Buy on rumour, sell on news'. So you end up two steps forward, three steps back. It would be nice if, just for once, we could be blessed with 'Buy on rumour, buy more on news'.

Ever

I am just quite amazed that there would be as many as 57 people on here on a Sunday, let alone 57 who approve of anything. I do begin to wonder how much of this is actually generated by the dreaded algorithms?

Judging by the upticks, either 25 people will be excited by the flimsiest of positive "evidence", or at least 25 other people have also seen this sudden news and are confirming it. By where? In the ether?

Don't worry, GT1, most of we LTHs in UFO will remember the first time we were told more patience would be needed, at the same time as we hailed Clement Attlee as the new Prime Minister.

GL.

Thank God, at last. Something concrete to report.

Norm, if I have said this once on boards like this, I must have said it a hundred times over the years. The problem with small AIM exploration and mining companies is that they are populated - understandably - by people (mainly but not exclusively men) whose life experience and skills lie in poking about under the ground to discover things or then digging the things that have been discovered out to sell. These companies unfortunately do not have the budget (probably) nor (importantly) the nous to employ, at board level, or even at senior management level, any one whose life experience and skills lie in communications and public relations. We small investors know only too well the consequences of this absence.

Max is right about the website. The only thing I would say, referencing potential investors, is that if I were in that camp I'd raise an eyebrow slightly at the sight of non-execs outnumbering execs and seemingly with no focus in a CEO.

BTW, is it early-January yet?

Some positive news would be very timely, Max. Because our welcome rally at the end of last week and the beginning of this is, I reckon, hanging on a knife-edge. Two days of 0.00%. Let's hope we don't start on the losing a bit today, losing a bit tomorrow... yet again! It would be great if, just for once, we can stabilise and provide a platform for the next push.

Ukt6, I sold some at 0.70 in 2022, because it came in useful when I was moving home. Good job I'm not moving now, or I'd be pushed to buy a cardboard box.

Norm, your comment about a "mundane job" is interesting. I have very often wondered what lifestyle people on here have, other than their UFO personae. How they have the TIME to write all day and every day. As I have mentioned before, I am retired, and yet I certainly don't have that time. Three comments from me today in the space of half-an-hour is exceptional. I am going to have to go away now and get on with some "real stuff".

It would be good, wouldn't it, Loggy? In my years on AIM I've only experienced a couple of times boards on which there has been objective discussion amongst the members. The first-ever board I got involved with had a sensation of camaraderie, the like of which I have never seen again. Different members went away and did the research that was most relevant to their own skills, and reported back to the others. It was exactly like any work-team. Extraordinary. And unique.

I'm beginning to think that UFO isn't in the business of iron ore. Or of silver either. It exists as a job creation programme for "influencers". The same folk on here who argued their way through 24 hours of yesterday (and most days before that) are set fair to be doing it all again today.

Unlike many, I am not in the business of Max-bashing. But sometimes his enthusiasm does run away with him. As soon as I saw it at close of play yesterday, I thought, Max, pal, you are setting up a huge hostage to fortune with a statement like "Watch SP tomorrow and you will see ;)". Better to avoid declarations like that, perhaps, in order to retain credibility.

It was daft of me, Bline59. I was actually trying to catch a falling knife from another stock and fell for all the hype about UFO.

Fortunately, Bishop, I live alone. Well, more or less... there is a dog. And he's not happy about the slump in his biscuit funds.

I am missing £200k. That may be insignificant compared to what others have lost on here, but it is not insignificant to me. So I'm afraid that I do not go along with all the adulation of UFO.

Calm down, everyone.

I've used a different analogy to make this same point in the past, when people were getting excited about iron ore.

Here's another one. There's no point getting orgasmic about the record prices that 'Old Masters' are fetching, if you yourselves haven't even signed a lease to set up an auction house.

Have a good bank holiday weekend all. There's something for everyone this weekend.

For the doomsters and gloomsters, the opportunity to say 'Q1 has come to an end, So what happened to this golden news flow we were promised?'

For those of a more bright and breezy frame of mind, the fact that it's not just the end of Q1, but also Easter! So maybe this is an omen? Maybe UFO will rise again. Like Jesus.

Don't forget, Wents, that the clocks go forward this weekend. So, not only will we all be millionaires, but an hour sooner!
