Those two little top-ups of 1,110 and 506 were me again. Oh honestly, I do know how to push the boat out, don't I? One hardly needs the brush, one could puff these into the dustpan!
I've tried all day. The only quantity I can buy isn't worth the dealing fee. I'd spend more on bananas in Londis than I can spend on SGZ today. I did two top-ups yesterday (only one of which showed up on here), but even they were relatively small.
For those of you who missed Bradford City winning the FA Cup in 1911, it WILL happen again, I promise you.
Just as many of us now have the opportunity to scoop up the .28 shares in SGZ we missed the first time.
Can I make any money betting on Bradford City?
I've been offline for a week, due to my house move (still DG13, never did scale the social heights of DG14).
I had a refund of �390 from my solicitor from funds held on account. I thought, "I'll buy 1,000 SGZ with that". And now I've come back online and find that it'd buy me rather more than 1,000. By 'eck!
Hi TLC7
Quite right what you say about people having had several opportunities to multi-bag. But it's those of us who didn't see this as a trader's share but were led to believe it was a good long-term investment who are now having to look at actuarial charts to see if it's likely we'll live long enough to see that belief fulfilled and get our money back.
shylock, I would top up, were it not for the fact that I fall into your category 4. But also not yet. Because I do think that the price will fall, though not by much, on the announcement of the failure of the options. Not that this will be "news", since I think we have all known this for at least a year, but the fact that the first item in the news flow is negative will probably dent confidence just a bit.
Anyone read the eco-freako comment at the top of the You Tube link that glenalmond provided? Here it is in full.
For sheer, breathtaking, utter arrogance, the very last sentence takes some beating! "Leave your families and home behind for good and live in some inner city hellhole, so that I can enjoy the view on my two weeks' holiday in the Highlands".
"This is tragically mans GREED. These people have no idea what this place will look like after mining. perhaps they need to take a trip to Johannesburg, South Africa to see how staggeringly huge these mine dumps are. This is going to destroy the environment. Is Scotland going to have mine waste DUMPS strewn like massive tumours all over the stunningly beautiful countryside. Don't ruin a perfect paradise. Once you have done the damage, it can't be undone. Take pride in your beautiful country. Let the youth find work in the cities".
Difficult not to be defeatist, Baz. I have an average well below what was, in old money, the options price of 1p. But even so I am still hugely underwater. Of LTHs, presumably only those who bought all, or the vast majority, of their shares at .28 and .33 can be anything like in the black. And there's just no light at the end of the tunnel.
but been encouraged to hold on by genuine ones like Rockhead and Rosewall and others who have more expert knowledge, but I have lost faith in this company. There is only so much patience one can have. I am so disillusioned that I fully expect to read - eventually, when there's anything to read at all - that 2019 will be the year in which it's anticipated things will happen!
Thanks, silversurger. As I said, I didn't really pay any attention to the clause about rounding.
But, hey, 19p is 19p. My holding in SGZ is so underwater that 19p is very useful, LOL
After helping clarify a point for Redeagle, I have my own naïve question about the consolidation. My latest statement form Barclays still shows my holdings in my Marketmaster account and my ISA in "old money". I notice that the amount of shares in both of them happen to finish in 50. So, did the rounding down and discarding of the "small amount" of shares apply pre- or post-consolidation? I never did take notice of how this was supposed to happen. In other words, will I have lost 100 shares pre-consolidation or after it? Because the latter is no fun to just chuck in the bin, even at a low sp and certainly not if, as we hope, the price rises.
Yes, Baz. You, I and silversurger have now all explained this as carefully as we can. Hopefully the misconception that Redeagle seems to have got trapped in is now cleared up.
Dear Redeagle, you are surely worrying yourself completely unnecessarily. Were you to exercise your options you would (unless your brokers have totally cocked up) find that these too have been consolidated on a 1:100 basis. So the amount you would have to pay be would be exactly the same as before. Unless I am misunderstanding the point of your post.
What IS disappointing and frustrating is the fact that there is no attraction in exercising these options at all. In 2015 who would have imagined that the sp in September 2017 would still be becalmed at less than even 50% of the exercise price?
Best wishes to you and all of us for our significant investment here in Confederate dollars (Oops, I meant SGZ shares!)
"Change of registered office"
Is THIS the good news that will be transformational? Will THIS catapult the share price up through £1?
Can't wait until 8 o'clock to see the buyers piling in!
Well, Eck, September (the 28th) will produce my birthday. So you are all invited round to my cardboard box by the lock gate to help me celebrate penury, as I attempt to warm the cardboard box by setting fire to a few more million SGZ shares.
You're the lucky one, Baz! My losses here have got to be worth at least a small apartment in Spain! Oh, the heady days when we thought that 6p was only the beginning! Well, it was, I suppose. Even downwards has got to begin somewhere!
