Lost $15,000. I really believed in this project. So sad. 😓

Yup. Lost $15,000. I should’ve cashed put when it was $100 then I would have been at up $25,000. But I got greedy hoping to get more money so I can at least afford a downpayment for a house for my family.

I guess no house and savings then. 😓

Update: I already told my husband. He says he’s hoping it will recover. But if not, it is what it is. I’m just grateful I have a very understanding husband and adorable kids.

Hoping it will get better after this expensive lesson.

I agree. The hysteria is silly. There were warnings beforehand that the company was likely going into administration. I lost £400, partly because I got wrapped up in a conversation with someone that was taking up too much of my time and I missed the chance to sell. I was going to at midday.

Its a small loss, but a loss all the same. Have to take it on the chin...

RE: whyFri 14:37

My own, non expert understanding of this is that we're seeing some populist kneejerk politics driven by xenophobic hate. Right now Russia is the big bad, and by extension the government will go after anything that looks or smells Russian, to please what they perceive to be the majority of the population. The fact that Evraz makes steel and Chelsea play football no longer matters. I think the board saw this and saw that getting some Russian sounding names out of the way would look good, so that's what they've done. They can't do anything about RA but if they put in a bunch of new people, preferably with very British sounding names, and wearing Ukraine flag pin badges for good measure, it will take the eye of Sauron off Evraz, which is good for us all. I think we're seeing politics here, not business, and it annoys me, but that's my observation so far.

This is the most illogical action I have seen from DARK. For a company that issued 699 million shares what a few million buy back will change to the dilution ? Instead of saving money and rather use it for R & D, they freeze it for no benefit whatsoever. It is like a drop in the ocean. This is the first time I am not happy with what they are doing. Now let's assume they start running out of money, are they going to ask the market for more money by issuing more shares ? If it is the case what's the point of buying back shares and wasting £30 million in the first place ? Really puzzled.

Bookbroker I agree. I said the same last week. They need to start making money. They need this for 2 reasons. First, the environment in which we are and have been going into does not tolerate growth loss making companies. Second, at the moment, they are losing money per share and the market is not convinced they have IP that is hard to reproduce and hence valuable. There is nothing ingenious about ingenuity despite the name. So you have a retailer who is losing money. Great. I like their growth but revenue in retail is nothing. You can grow an unprofitable retail company very, very quickly. The trick is making profit. Let me give you an analogy. You can grow a financial company very quickly - just start lending money. In no time you'll have a massive book with low quality. Retail is similar - you can grow your revenue very easily, the trick is to grow profitably.

THG at the moment is a bit of a mess. They sell makeup, they sell nutrition, they claim they've got a tech company. At the same time, they've acquired all kinds of random companies along the way - for example they own preloved.co.uk - I'll be surprised if anyone here's heard of this one let alone used it. Understandably, they look like a ball of sellotape that has picked up all kinds of crap along the way and MM is now repackaging the crap and trying to sell it as something useful. Best way out of here in my opinion is for them to reorient the business for profit. Growth does not matter here. We need to see profits.

imastu pidgitaswell20 Jan '22 - 11:08 - 572 of 574 From ADVFN

I'm spending around a minute a month on this, just checking the price on occasion - its business model is hopeless.

All it can do is build turnover ("Gross Profit" - arf...) and losses, as it is fundamentally flawed until it can charge a step-change increase for what it does - and I mean 3-4 times as much. And of course if it does that, the customers will melt away.

There is no 'volume-scaling' to this if every single transaction makes losses - there is no contribution to central overhead. More turnover = higher losses.

That is the outlook - there is nothing else to analyse.

Can you not see that?

Think about it - before you bandy about terms like 'clueless' and 'moronic'. And maybe look in the mirror.

Evergiven now the Chinese EverGrande

Too big to turn. Too big to fail?

Remember those huge ghost cities that popped up all over China, even as far back as 2010? They were "investments" that never paid an income, and were people's pensions. People relied soled on capital growth.

Now the plates have stopped spinning. Evergrande has a bong payment due this Thursday. They is speculation that it will default.

The ticker symbol is 3333.HK. The Chinese are highly superstitious with numbers. 3 being "birth".

Rolls Royce - needs to raise £3bn to shore up finances

 SimonGn6 Oct '20 - 23:21 - 5551 of 5556

I've got some serious thinking to do in the next couple of weeks . . . my pension is in RR. not a company pension but a SIPP I have invested myself and is currently in RR.

Taking the options would cost me £18k and I would have to put that into my SIPP to take the options, it would then be locked in so borrowing the money is not an option and I don't have £18k let alone £18k to add to my SIPP.

Hindsight is easy . . . I am where I am sitting on a paper loss of £92k

I need to see if trading my Rights is possible from my SIPP, somehow I doubt it, if not I will need to get out and take my loss, at the most opportune time that I can find.

Hi Pthc

Not sure Putney lad would want to liase with me considering I was critical of his thoughts, which proved right in the end but I still lost £13k


Not herd of forsure but the last time I logged on was a few months ago and they were going to the city police I think.


At the end of the day, it seems what Koovs did was legal, but whether they mislead any shareholders is something different.

I remember a RNS saying they had 3 months money left in November. I’d made my mind up I was going to sell just before Xmas if no news, but as we all know, Koovs did the dirty only a few weeks after their RNS.

To me that was wrong and I’ve lost my money because they did something different to their RNS, which is misleading to me !!

SXX - Sirius Minerals (Pending Take Over)

kenmitch 8 Jan '20 - 18:10 - 46524
It’s very sad for the many locals who were persuaded to invest far more than they could afford to lose, but many are blaming the wrong people. It’s not ********* who should be taking all the stick. He tried so hard to deliver what will still be a superb project for the area, and that project is now well advanced. His mistake was in the way he expected to be able to finance it. That’s what went so wrong, and shareholders have paid the price.

But most of the blame should go to brokers who got it so wrong (e.g Shore and their 82p price target)and columns like Midas in Mail on Sunday. People who know so little about investing will have trusted these people and assumed they were more clued up than they were. Unfortunately some setting broker price targets are incompetent as are those who hyped the share price here.

********

who banned posters he disagreed with is a classic idiot example. ADVFN has far too many posters like him.

The FACTS were always clear. A very ambitious and very expensive project and with NO revenues and NO profits for many years. It’s sales and cash flow and profits that do the trick for the shares we invest in. Those basics did not apply to Sirius, so it should have been pointed out to inexperienced investors that Sirius was only worth a small investment.

There WERE very good profits available when the share soared far too high. IF ONLY IF ONLY locals had had that pointed out, instead of brokers and other commentators and clueless posters here persuading them the Sirius share price would go higher still.

It’s such a shame that so many have been so badly misled.

I'm out.Thu 12:23
I have decided not to wait any longer as I have concluded in my head that even if this does get a higher offer,...say 6.5p it may add what? Another £900 to what I can get now? What's the point and what's the point too in waiting and watching this possibly go to the wall? This whole thing is a mess.....far, far, far from what I ever thought it could be. My money is going under my bed, away from any of those money men who will keep on stealing the dreams away from the small man. It was my dream to make just enough to pay my house off earlier, so I didn't have to keep battering my body into old age working so physically for a living. I don't think that's being too greedy. I've lost £7000, less in value than when I lost my mother and alot less than some of you here. Anyway, I wish everyone well, a good life and health and good luck if you continue to invest. It's been emotional ; )

Special offer price 20p followed not so long ago with a very special offer of 15p we have been Truley put away .
The BOD have not fully explained the situation is this the only offer ? Are there any other parties interested ?

Had a very small holding here and came out with £17 profit (3 beers then ). Sorry for those who will lose loads. Got my portfolio back to a very healthy amount ( FTSE 100 stock mainly) but I was one of those unfortunate one that lost a shed load ( circa £50K ) in XCITE Energy. Although I dabble with a couple of AIM listed companies ( MATD) I now tend to play it a lot more safely. Good Luck to you all .
