Hello R, no it wasn't me, I didn't buy yesterday. I'm waiting for the announcement of the take-up of the RI and to see what - if any - effect this has on the sp. If it depresses it, I might take advantage and have a small top-up. If it encourages a rise, that's got to be good and I'll rest on the number I recently purchased in the RI myself.

I must admit, Baz, it really must be time I ought to have learnt my lesson. So when the next RI at 10p is launched, I'll hang fire and wait until I can buy at 7.5, LOL. Happy Xmas to you and all.

Hi Eck, it's still a bit obscure. Are 1) and 2) the same meeting? Or is 2) "a hearing and site visit" a preliminary to 1) ie a full Board meeting, which is not due to take place until March? Like you I'm getting more than a tad cynical. I await news that 1) the Tyndrum area has been overrun by a plague of frogs, 2) someone's lost the key to the snow barriers and all roads leading into Tyndrum will remain closed until July, 3) the entire Park Board have been invited to participate in 'I'm a Celebrity' and will be away until 2019, 4) ........

Happy Xmas and New Year to you too, Baz. Every year I get the Dogs Trust Border Terrier wall calendar for the kitchen. I've just phoned them, but sadly they haven't brought out their 2021 calendar yet, so I can't mark up when I hope to approach break-even here. And my average is only something like 50p!!

As I mentioned last week, I'd taken up all but about 12,000 of my RI entitlement. Then, when the acceptance deadline was extended to today, I thought I might as well go full in and take up the rest after all. It's a good job I didn't really. I'm now holding fire and thinking of diverting the funds into an open market purchase. Whichever way we dress this up, it does not look good for an sp to be below an RI price while the RI is still open. I probably will make a small top-up in a day or two, but I really am getting a bit fed up of averaging down as a way of life.

It's an immutable Law of the SGZ Universe, George. Any RI price represents a plateau from which to descend.

Barclays weren't quite so bad, Baz. But I got two letters from them, three days apart. The first one said the response date was the 7th. If I'd gone by this and binned the second letter, assuming it was a straightforward duplicate, I'd have missed seeing that the date had been changed to the 5th. And neither letter told me my allocation, I had to go online to find this.

The extension might just allow me to re-visit my original decision not to take up my full entitlement. "Re-visit" is a good bit of jargon with which to engage our stakeholders, going forward.

"Extension of the acceptance period". Mmmmm? Oh, c'mon people, don't leave it all up to Eck, silversurger and me!! LOL

Well, that's me paid up. Haven't actually taken up my full entitlement, but it's brought me - at last! - to what had always been my target - in old money - of 10m. 100,000 doesn't somehow have the same cachet, does it? I realise that this still puts me in the Little League compared to most people on here. But at least I'm strapped in with you for... what?... crash and burn??!!

Eck, of all the posters on here you have consistently seemed the closest in sentiment to myself. Having just moved home and getting work done on the new place with all the consequent bills, this really, really, really was NOT the time I would have chosen to throw a five-figure sum at SGZ. But, like you, I think this could be the moment we've all been waiting for - so long!

Nine o'clock and no negative spin. Yet.

That's great to hear, hick. I thought we were losing one of the good guys here. Enjoy the pub!

Sorry to see you go, hick. But I can understand your frustration. There's patience, and there's patience. This certainly does very often feel like Life after Death.

Maybe this is part of the problem. If we regular posters on here are representative of SGZ's shareholder profile, it would seem that almost all of us are sitting in the waiting room for our appointment with Mr Grim Reaper. It might help the share price if SGZ could be attractive to more young thrusters. Best wishes for a good w/e to you too, R. Gotta go now, Mr Reaper's receptionist is pointing at me.

Happy Birthday, Rocky lad. I'd guess that, like me, you'd remember Rocky Marciano. He would have been at his peak just about the time I started waiting for some news from SGZ. Enjoy your day, y

Do not underestimate SEPA's concern for the mole population, Baz. Seriously, thanks to glenalmond and Eck for keeping on top of this.

I guess the conversation's stopped, glen, because there's not really much else to be said here now apart from "Happy Christmas, everyone". Regards, y

You were lucky, Rockhead. You'd have lost the will to live. Page after page of stuff which presumably is meaningful to whoever wrote it but, arguably, not to anyone else on the planet. Regards, y

I am always mystified by tiny Sells when a share is at rock bottom. Like the 55 shares for �14.50 on 6 Oct. Why would anyone be so desperate for �14.50 that they can't hold on for a better price eventually? Those of you who know more about these things will probably tell me that there is something technical going on here. Even so, some other amounts of shares for slightly more money must be genuine Sales which, even so, are only netting + or - �100, and I still cannot understand why folk don't either hold on longer or just write the thing off mentally.
