I personally feel that BUR missed a trick by not following through with their original suggestion of a company share buy back. At the time, the SP was climbing on the back of day traders looking to ride into profit and LTH's averaging down. In combination with the notification of the management buys, I honestly believe that the shorts would have bailed out and been forced to buy back themselves much earlier, leaving the SP to reclaim much of it's losses.

A buy-back now is sadly too late, as momentum is now lost and the shorts are well and truly in control of the SP. Now it is down to news flow, time & patience before we see a concerted push back upwards. Still plenty of room for trading here over the coming weeks and months, and an excellent safe prospect for a good rise and healthy profit when the re-rate comes... all just a question of WHEN it comes now.

I blame you Will ;-) Ever since you bought in, my day trading here came crashing to a halt... LOL! If you ever sell out, please let me know... as we may see a sudden spike and I get to start trading again :-)

GLA :-)

Euro Phil,

You see... that post was so much better... not so hard to admit to day trading - and no issue whatsoever with that.

Cynical LTH's here much sooner prefer an honest broker ;-)

GGP = Short...Medium & Long Game IMHO ;-)

GLA

Rxdav,

LOL!

Will was okay in the end... good guy really IMHO. He's over on BUR and GGP now. He told me he'd sold out here and taken the hit. At least he came clean about day trading ANGS and left when he'd had enough of the share continually dipping on no news.

I'm sure he wont be offended by my saying that he's been the kiss of death since he bought in at BUR. I was happily trading there for a fortnight until the day he bought in... ever since it's been pegged back by the shorters :-( Still an "infinitely" better bet for the medium term though.

Not been to Gdansk... but enjoyed time in Krakow and Budapest. Stayed in what I can only describe as the wing of a palace in one of the main squares in Krakow - for the same price as I would pay for a very average London Hotel!!!! Money (even the pound) goes a long way! Slovenia is pretty good for exchange rate too. Found food and drink in Lake Bled and Kranjska Gora amazingly good value...

Enjoy your break... whilst we wait... and wait.... and (wait I guess?) ;-)

Please let us all know when you've managed to make your first Euro, Phil...
If you're gambling here... it speaks volumes about your trading skill already IMHO ;-)

Ja51,
It's starting to sound suspiciously like you are just digging for useful info to pass on to "other" interested parties. For someone supposedly sitting on the fence... you seem to be devoting an awful lot of your precious time digging up past material...
If I were RA... I would exercise caution sharing "anything" with you!

Cebo...

LOL!
I've never hid my thoughts about The Weald "STORY"... I certainly would never recommend anyone other than a day trader invest there right now!

Hindsight is a wonderful thing though - hence my sitting on the fence here!

Aqua / WellWell

I'm tempted to buy back now to be honest... but remain wary of market reaction which - these days - is always devastating on bad news and very often lackluster even on good news (perhaps for the reasons you have just outlined Aqua: i.e: II's often selling into any rise!)
Nevertheless I think that proof of concept on the last of the three drills should at least draw a line in the sand and establish confidence going forward - which in turn should offer me the medium term stable SP growth I was always hoping for here and maybe even the possibility of a tie-in / buy-out "bonus" later down the line. Those kind of risk / rewards I am happy to accept ;-)

GL whatever investment decisions anyone makes here, and fingers crossed for a positive outcome very soon for all LTH's :-)

Genghis: "Beats me why people got the jitters over this, can't see it myself."

You can't take "anything whatsoever" on trust on AIM. Good rule of thumb is to run for the hills at the first sign of trouble... as SP reaction is never far behind... as we've already seen.

Personally I used to also take the sit tight approach... but having been sh*ft*d so many times in the past, I've now learnt my lesson and always follow the rest of the herd: If in doubt... sell out. You can "always" buy back in ... but you sure as Hell cannot sell out without suffering losses if things go badly wrong...

And sadly... they all too frequently do, on AIM.

Not intended as a de-ramp... I have been invested here before over many years... but I'm sitting on the sidelines right now as are many others IMHO. Hoping for good news to land when I will happily buy back - at a higher price. If I miss out on an Immediate 5 - 10% rise so be it... it's a risk I am happier to take, rather than suffer from another market overreaction to negative news.

HITS / Gkb47

Spot on with your appraisals of AIM / The dodgy MM's we are stuck with / and a lack of functioning legal oversight for the market as a whole, IMHO.

I live in hope is that in years to come, this can of worms will forcibly be prized open and made to pay for its misdemeanors... just like the Bankers (Previously known as "The Masters Of The Universe") were also called to account for their MANY blatant sins of the past!

Good grief... and there was I thinking talk of Brexit was boring...LOL!

What was that gold company I invested in called again? Anyone.... anyone?

Spy,

There are already many general discussion platforms "for free" out there that are great places for discussing Brexit etc... but since the "B" word is such an emotive issue... if left unchecked... it would quickly devour any discussion about GGP, which is why we are all here in the first place...or so I thought?

TomE,

I also started an identical petition (asking for accurate buy / sell information to be published for all) at the end of last year and got sufficient signatures for it to be taken forward for initial judgement. The panel then came back and would not allow my petition to go forward for voting in full because, "a decision to alter the market reporting procedure is not a decision for parliament, but rather one for the financial services authority to make."

Having already spoken to the FSA without success, I kind of felt like I was running around in circles!

We have Nomads who are "supposedly" responsible for making companies reporting transparent to investors... and yet The Market as a whole is allowed to continue being opaque.

Welcome to the world of investing that has so far failed to embrace ANY of the changes that have happened everywhere else in business over the last twenty - thirty years!!!!!

Having had "repeated" conversations with the FSA over this issue, with no success whatsoever, I concluded some time back (as have many others..) that the market makers will not give up this useful tool of deception without an almighty fight.

There is NO good earthly reason why buys and sells cannot be reported accurately using today's modern technology... the only reason things do not change is that it suits the market to continue deceiving investors by being as opaque as possible about what is happening.

Market transparency. Don't make me laugh. Unbelievable that this is still happening in 2019!

Let's hope all our wishes come true Scally...

problem is: I still keep returning to the nagging question: "Why wait so bl**dy long to test Balcombe if it was such a low risk nailed-on producer ?"

Something just doesn't add up... and with ANGS, that usually means BAD NEWS :-(

Scally: "Angus market cap at £6M equates to the value of Balcombe and £ zero for all others, Brockham, Lidsey and Saltfleetby."

I think current market cap of £6M is how the market values a break-up and sale of assets. Lidsey is our only producer (laughs out loud!) The rest is "high risk" (given ANGS track record).

Probably worth more in other more competent hands - but with ANGS at the controls... Sadly...£6M cap still sounds too generous!!!!!

"nice coverage from Motley Fool"

I've lost track of the times the "Fool" have been FOR and AGAINST this share... good - at least - to see they're FOR... until next month / week of course... when they'll say the exact opposite (again) ;-)

Don't be fooled by people who turn up and profess to be experts after only 30 posts!

Never mind... back to school next week for them... it's September already.

MMs have always - and continue - to naked short oil and mining stocks.

Some assume MMs are happy to make margin on buys and sells, but this takes no account of the FACT that there is no end to their greed!

Plenty of evidence, papers, reports and - even acceptance by authorities - that this has been happening... but no appetite to challenge it... because: "money makes money!"

No worries. September next week Will...

All the school-children here will be off here doing something more useful soon and the big boys will be back from their long holidays looking to profit as the SP retraces.

I have a lower average than you... but happy to wait until the theme tune quickly changes from SELL to BUY - as it ALWAYS does!

Time and patience are all that is required GL :-)
