Yes, a funny old day. I think you can bring out, dust off and use the word "febrile" when the number of posts in 'Chat' far exceeds the number of 'Trades'. It's the reason that UFO really IS going to be my Last Hurrah on AIM. Once I've made a reasonable return here I'm out of AIM for good. After a decade and a half I cannot take any more of this nonsense.
Thank you for your initiative, Bfdinvestor. I think this is just the clarification that people want, in order to stop tumbling over themselves with unnecessary conjecture. It's as I said very early this morning, and have subsequently stayed above the fray, it just needs to be clarified how you square the circle between "non-executive" and "operating". All of us know perfectly well that many senior executives take non-executive board positions.
Difficult to understand these small sells, cj. Why would people be so keen to "salvage" 130 quid? It's hardly worth the fees. And if it's all the same person, why not just sell the lot at once and just pay one lot of fees?
I was going to do a top up this afternoon, but wondered if I could slot it in between the 3.00 to 5.00 Asda delivery. Didn't want to get caught in the middle of a funds transfer if the doorbell went. Anyway, he's just been, and by the time I got everything into the freezer it was too late.
So, with the luck that has characterised my time on AIM, tomorrow morning we will get the most humungous RNS in the history of the markets. And I will have lost out on an Aston Martin. Never mind, maybe cj will give me a ride in his. Oh, and I might still have made enough to switch from Asda to Waitrose. :) :) :)
I don't think they are "ramblings" or "rubbish" at all, A.J.49. It is a very unfortunate scenario that I have to admit has played around my head for some time past. Not the only potential way this will play out, by any means, but a possibility there in the background, nonetheless. It would be a travesty for loyal LTHs if UFO got taken out for, say, anything under 1p, and even that would be a ludicrously low price in view of the potential.
After too many years on AIM I have just about given up trying to understand the mentality behind some buys and, more particularly, sells. I just about get the idea of "taking a profit", but even so "selling on news" still doesn't make much sense in many cases. Why not wait for MORE news and make MORE profit?
Cj, I'm sure the pretty ones would know who to keep away from. I was reading only last week that, contrary to popular belief, sheep are actually highly intelligent animals. Apparently they are capable of memorising the faces of up to 200 other sheep, and even some human faces. How the animal psychologists have worked this out, I do not know.
We had better cease this conversation, or else we'll be told off for getting away from the important work of slamming UFO.
Several past long days and a slight infection finally caught up with me and I didn't wake up until 11.00 this morning. Which was a good thing in a way because I was spared any wild "Here we go! Off to the moon!" predictions.
Slip a little further, quite possibly. But your hypothesis, Slimgizmo, rests entirely on this mystical importance that Thursdays seem to have assumed amongst members of this board. The real world doesn't operate like that. Imagine, for example, the scenario which cj correctly envisages of lawyers preparing documents for signature. The reps of IOCA and KNAC would hardly be standing round a desk, pens poised, leaning into the documents, when somebody shouts "No! Hang on! Not yet! It's only Tuesday!"
Let's think logically. If any objection - to anything at all - had been raised at the meeting on 29th November, then that is one thing. But if, as 2020 says, it was an objection tabled "the other month", then the KNAC board would surely not have been bringing the resolution for agreement to the meeting on the 29th. It would be pretty strange to be seeking agreement on a matter that still had active objections to be sorted out.
