Investor,

Angus de-ramps itself quite happily on a daily, weekly, monthly, and annual basis by it's continuing poor performance and repeated operational failure.

I didn't skim 95% off the share value of the SP in one year, or continually dilute shareholders with placings and loans when assets failed to come to fruition... management achieved that all by themselves I'm afraid.

Maddog posted my name and asked me a question. If you don't want to hear my advice... stop asking for it... it's simple really.

YL ;-)

There's no ambiguity in my posts LL... my sympathy is for "genuine" LTH's - and always has been... I've been there and know what they've been through!

Nothing I say or do will alter anything... as I am merely commenting on events as they happen. I wouldn't even have posted here today had it not been for the thread named after me... and the questions posed.

I have no control over the SP - this is down to the success or failure of management to actually deliver. IMHO The Market and savvy new investors will wait to see this happen before taking Angus on trust a fourth time around without advanced proof.

YL ;-)

Torreaguas:

"I sincerely wish "genuine" investors well." I thought I made that clear?

I used the "dog" analogy for Maddog's personal amusement... it seemed fitting given his user name?

YL ;-)

Maddog...

Just giving my "honest" view here & elsewhere as a PI... I'm afraid. No profit or payment in that.

I sincerely wish "genuine" investors well.

If ANGS "EVER" comes good and LTH's find themselves back in profit... I will be "genuinely" happy for them. I know what it feels like to be hoodwinked into a bad investment - and I also know what a relief it is to regain those losses on a good one too.

Don't forget... the real hard work comes when Angus management are called upon (again) to achieve their first ever operational success. Can they do it "THIS TIME?"

Verdict still out on that one I'm afraid. I guess you could take the view that the past is the past and so just ignore it - as some seem to prefer...

but would you continue to hand feed the same dog that had already badly bitten you three times in the past already?

Well - call me sceptical... but I wouldn't!

YL :-)

LOL ;-)

Maddog... for now: low liquidity and a 40% spread tells you everything you need to know about this company's record!

The MM's are not stupid - and will take full advantage.

GL A

Morning Maddog,

Sorry I am getting excited over on another long term holding of mine this a.m.

My thoughts in summary:

Good news (at last) this morning, although it just shows how low enthusiasm for this share has sunk when all hell breaks loose when the company dumps death spiral placing and still continues to borrow money from a shareholder.

Let's not forget that it is only operational success that will really lift this boat's bows above the waves... and we have yet to see any realistic timescale for Anguish's first EVER success in this regard.

Give me another prop next year when the real news is likely to emerge!

GL A ;-)

Anyone think Numis might have leaked the latest news to their clients? Clearly somebody knows something here!

What a great day to be in GGP

GL A ;-)

Off to a flying start this am!

GL A ;-)

When is the next Numis Broker note due out - anyone know?

Just wondered if some of their clients have had an advance notice...

We both know what would happen if I & others left this board Ocelot.

I tried it for a time (remember) and all that happened was it was filled with "Tidswell approved" sales messages from the Anguish Energy PR division in order to help RiverFort convert their Death Spiral Finance by luring in new unsuspecting investors.

...and I NEVER give investment advice... I mentioned a "gold explorer"... but not by name.. there are many out there. You would "always" need to do your own research to make a decision to invest elsewhere.

YL ;-)

Ocelot,

Time will tell - who was the fool to continue to believe the hype here - and who was wise to cut his losses and invest in a certain gold explorer run by trustworthy professionals (hope you listened to my earlier advice) I've already recouped my losses and then some!

If that's not wisdom... I don't know what is.

YL ;-)

LancashireLife,

I "remain" interested as a bystander to see how how many more inventive excuses Tidswell & chums can dream up to delay the inevitable - whilst continuing to exploit investors.

Why are you here by the way?

You only appeared in mid January (already with an instant obsession about me & my user name). At least - I can claim to have been an LTH - with all the wisdom that brings to the table!

YL ;-)

Spy: "YL...retail owners are the biggest shareholders (you/us). they will have to put it to us and I am fairly sure it will get turned down."

Spy, when the chips are down... if an offer of 10p or thereabouts is made and the SP climbs anywhere near that quickly... half of those retail investors will have sold out even before the deal is done and a further 25% will accept the deal (reluctantly or otherwise - dependent upon individual circumstances). You have to remember that many have already been bitten by Sirius...Ukog...Angus... and are rightfully sceptical of AIM anyway. A profit is a profit. Move on to the next... and don't become emotionally attached IMHO.

Don't get me wrong... Like KnParker... I would also dearly love this company to come good and deliver in multiples... but my experience on AIM and investing in general teaches me to keep my feet on the ground and "always" take a decent profit whenever I see it... I think there will be many here that will do the same - regardless of what they say to the contrary.

GL A - keeping everything crossed.

YL ;-)

Not a fan of SB... as others may know, but have to say - in this regard he's probably closer to the truth than I & others might like.

As much as I'm sure we would all love any buy-out to be multiples of the current SP... from past experience I think a cheeky bid is far more likely - and larger holders including SB are going to accept it... as are many others (reluctantly or otherwise) and we'll all simply move on to the next big thing in the hope of doing better next time.

Considering most AIM companies fail and investors lose everything... doubling your investment - for folk buying in at current levels - is not to be sniffed at. And for those of us on lower averages - a triple or quadruple gain is fine by me. Personally I would prefer 15p - 20p but I would also like lock-down to end and to be able to travel around Italy in June this year...

Sadly... there's a "BIG" difference between wishful thinking and likely outcomes - never more so than in the hard-nosed business world. Current market conditions simply reinforce the likelihood that the deal we eventually get will be adequate for some but nowhere near as exciting as others had hoped.

Sincerely hope SB is wrong... but - for once - I agree with him.

YL ;-)

Looks like it could climb "comfortably" into double digits by Friday IMHO.

10p+ doesn't seem unreasonable... so long as the sellers have cleared at last!

My loss was horrendous too V5Honda.

I took the loss & re-invested. Painful decision at the time... but I'm glad I did, because it just fell further... whereas my new investments actually grew!

Take a look at GGP - ripe for a buy-out. Not investment advice - but there are many opportunities out there with more predictable conclusions and more promising upside IMHO.

Anguish is either going private (at investors expense) or bust (at investors expense) IMHO... whatever Ocelot / Lord Lucan / Tidswell / RiverFort Death Spiral / Anguish PR says to the contrary!

YL ;-)

Matty....

In fairness to LSE it is a "free service" for most of us - and the volume of viewers is currently 10x the norm across the board with most websites... my HL and I.I accounts are also playing up (and I pay for them).

I have grumbled myself in the past.. but in the current climate I think we need to be a little more forgiving

YL ;-)

Just bought back in.

Happy with a sub 9p average. Way undervalued IMHO. Short-sellers may exit or allow this to climb again before they rein it in.

Traders dream share at the moment for anyone with an ounce of patience.

GL A

YL ;-)

Crocqman,

Fair question. I was last invested in UKOG a couple of years ago. I think SS had embarked upon his second or third delay and second dilution by then... so I bowed out not too badly scathed by the experience.

Whilst I am certainly no fan of SS's management style or his fund raising prowess, he has - at least - proven to be competent in one department:

Operationally!

They ARE producing oil in quantity... and SS did manage to solve "their" water issue. Eventually I expect UKOG holders may see the SP turn consistently blue and the graph head back upwards. Where it stops nobody knows... but at least some of those long-time underwater holders might be able to breathe again!

By comparison to Tidswell - SS is Bill Gates IMHO... although to be fair even the most inept managers I have ever worked with would look like a "dream team" next to Tidswell & chums!

YL ;-)

Oh... I think I am entitled to hold Tidswell & chum(p)s to account for their lousy management & poor operational skills... it has cost many of us dearly.

In fact I'm probably more entitled than you, Ocelot, since you don't apparently know anything about anyone other than Lucan (The fact that Tidswell appointed him conveniently escaped you too) and you have no prior knowledge of the coup or the dodgy share trading alluded to by Malcy.

Strange really, because any competent investor would have fully researched a company before investing... apparently you didn't... or the past didn't matter... because Tidswell will always get it right next time... or the time after... or the time after that... or WILL HE?

YL ;-)
