doesnt leave much does it? but lets try and kick start this site into action. posts are very few and far between. why is that? talk about anything but TALK. its free but it wont last without input......so PUT IN a post or two here and there.
and this time next year we will all be MILLIONAIRES

Millionaires? Is that all? I was hoping for a cool billion :)

gas

come on guys.......the site is DEAD without input ( you cant have failed to notice mam was the first post)

all i want is to talk SHARES......not bicker/argue. JUST TALK SHARES

supperrod,

I agree copmpletely, but, with the greatest of respect, this header title isn't likely to encourage people to even come in, and it's hardly an obvious starting point for discussing any share, is it?

I suggest if there are shares that you are interested in, you start some threads!

I'm a member of the Financebb.com, and over there it is fairly quiet, so I have started various threads on companies that interest me for whatever reason. I start each thread with a graphic of the company, (if possible),
a 1 year updating chart (free from www.bigcharts.com), links to the company websites, and possibly a brief explantion why that company interests me.

Why not try something like that here?
You never know, it may generate some interest.
You can register at www.financebb.com(I have no connection), and then check them out, some of these shares have done rather well lately! But then again so has the market!

There are already some decent shares discussion threads on am, we just need a few more to add to the vibrancy.

regards,

Andy.

andy
you are right about the header but it was intended to get ANY kind of discussion going. of course i would rather it was share talk but after 3 days offline i see only half a dozen posts in total on the whole site ( unless my pc is telling porkies ). thanks for your input

rod

ps snappy......nice one

rod,

AM lost quite a few posters whilst the Ainspoph haters were trashing all his threads, and now they, and him, have gone, we are left with a fairly quiet BB.

What have now is a decent base, we just have to build the IR from here.

fair enough andy but its like tumbleweed town here

i just wish more would use squelch instead of arguing. i used to rise to all the baiters and made a decision to squelch. the quality of posts has improved ( from my viewpoint obviously ) and my blood pressure must be well down.
enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Cheers Rod, you too!

I will start a couple of threads to try and restart the IR!

Rod,

First new thread created (Regus)

seems a good base to start from

Iain

and so to Kemble Air-show for a good day out , lunch in the Wild Duck near to hand, ah life is fun

Andy
i have had the odd dabble on rgu but something smells bad there.
i hope oldolie is not trying to spoil a genuine effort at dialogue

ps


is my pc/link/browser/etc playiny up? only 3 posts all weekend :o((

and thats the whole bb

( It's called banning everyone who has something to say super-odd....it tends to have this effect..)

Rod,

I guess the "protaganists" are still here, but minding their P's and Q's!

Yes it's difficult to build up the BB when it's so quiet, as people no doubt log in, see nothing interesting, and move onto another BB.

I actually belong to all the major BB's, as do an increasing number of fellow posters! It seems there is so little interest in the current market that people are desperately searching all the BB's for news/info etc.

Hopefully we can build this BB up in time.

what a DREARY day
is this site ever hoping to make any money?

Hi Rod, just popped back here to check for info on one of our favourites :0)nothing doing Im afraid. We could start a new thread on our joint venture, but with oily and his/her mates still here whats the point!!! Lifes too short to put up with the abuse etcwhy bother??
As Andy says desperately searching all the BB's for news/info etc. sadly this BB was damaged by they who know best whats to say it wouldnt happen again!!! As I said lifes too short or as Spikes army pal (Private Mulgrew) always said, Fem. Very funny book btw

super-odd - 19 Jun'03 - 21:20 - 20 of 20 (Failed)

Superrod,

I applaude your attempt to engender discussion but quite frankly it seems to me that people are leaving mam in droves for some reason. I logged in earlier today and the last threads I looked at are only a 1/4 down the page with no posts whatsoever!

I think mam have been overzealous in their censorship and the bb might, I fear, be in a terminal decline. Hope not because I initially thought it had some potential. Nonsense posts from people like sequestor are permitted because he has subscribed, and the guy takes great pleasure goading everyone who disagrees with him and then hiding behind his shield. This pisses people off. Money AM need to be balanced regardless of who has subscribed, perhaps then chaps would take the bb seriously and return. You know how the British feel about fair play! We even go to war over it.

Still good luck with your thread.

macCavit,

I fear you are right, but for the opposite reason.

Ainsoph was posting here when the site opened, and there wasn't a problem.
Then certain people arrived, and started the baiting slowly, posting little "test" messages on Ainsoph threads.

Then the real action started, and at that point AM should have stepped in and banned them, IMHO.

They didn't and watched a personal battle rage, and nearly all the threads were trashed, but still nothing was done.

Finally, as the exodus from the BB increased, (and the combatants were copying posts between Am and ADVFN!), they finally stepped in, much too late, IMHO.

Sadly those that have left have yet to return, and AM has lost the chance to become the premier finacial BB, for now at least.

Andy.

macCavity - 20 Jun'03 - 19:44 - 22 of 23

evening Keith

and AM has lost the chance to become the premier finacial BB, for now at least.
-----------------------------

UNBIEVABLE, a semi-legal ramping gang are banned and we are expected to believe that this has caused the death of MONEYAM- where do these people live,
Siberia

dear oh dear.

Sequestor,

I presume you are Oldolie, Shagnasty, raving davy Gravy et al?

I actually never held any of the shares that Ainsoph posted on, not my area of interest, so although I read some of the threads, I never felt tempted to invest. Just becuase someone posts bullish or bearish posts about a company does not compel anyone reading to buy, although obviously it may arouse their interest in that particular company.

We are all adults here, and responssible for own investment decisions, so if someone is silly enough to invest on the strength of a BB comment alose, then that would be plain daft!

And if you're looking for "nearly legal ramping gangs" there are one or two threads On ADVFN that you may care to look at, take the last 300 posts on the MMD thread for example!

And you fail to mention the "ramping gangs" that employ the use of multiple logons on ADVFN, of which there are at least two that I can identify, but have obviously escaped your notice.

Andy.




Nobody else had

macCavity
thanks for your input, if a few more like you posted we might have a fighting chance of making a decent forum here.
Andy
sequestor IS oldolie and he gets away with the crap he posts because he PAYS for the privelege. sad but thats the way the world turns.

doesnt mean we have to put up with it though. SQUELCH!!!!!!!

works wonders

Andy you assume wrongly about my aliases, but there again that is none of your business anyway, so I shall ignore the comment.
It was MAM who decided to ban those whom they did, not the posters who were critical of there attitude, I doubt if you or I will find out the real reason for the bans, they are obviously more serious than a few ill-chosen words by them.
I was commenting on your statement that "Sadly those that have left have yet to return, and AM has lost the chance to become the premier finacial BB, for now at least",
which is muddled, "they" are not being allowed to return it is not an issue of `when`, but never; will this prevent MAM from becoming a ` premier financial service`, doubt it.

ps for someone who has no interest in `the great departed one`and the subject is not ` in your sphere of interest, you are remarkably cognisant of his work and teachings, also of those who dared to contradict him; I have to bow to your superior knowlege on this occasion, personally the image of St. Ainsoph,seated to the right hand of Beelzebub, is enough schadenfreude for me to handle,I commend the image to you.

l like a gamble like you all,but instead of bickering why not use the threads on this site to benefit everyone.heres my first bet,coke cola to rise10%by sept
30th.

Sequestor,

My comment "those who have left have yet to return" actually refers to those other posters, people that were not involved in the battle, who simply left this BB, and have not returned. I agree that I did not word that well, as I meant other posters that have left the BB.

I can honestly say I do not know Ainsoph, but I have been on ADVFN for years, and as soon as I saw certain logons appearing here, I knew what was going to happen, and I wasn't wrong!

Just to clarify, I have NEVER held or traded TAD, or BT, in any shape or form!

I hold mainly resource / mining shares, which clearly aren't Ainsoph's field at all.

I have no "superior knowledge", just a desire to see this BB become sucessful, and that will only be IF they introduce a proper registration policy, (though I doubt they ever will). I would have thought they would have benefitted from ADVFN's mistakes, but alas not!

regards,

Andy.

ANDY

Tell me about mining shares , AVM, and PRE are the only ones I hold now, for my sins, altho` I did make a few bob on Palladium (the base metal not the co.) when it surged a couple of years back, ironic as a lump of my earlier career was in the industry.

good luck

this site is getting more dire by the day. apart from olie ( squelched ) there are virtually no posts anywhere :o((

superrod - 24 Jun'03 - 20:24 - 32 of 32 (Keithed)

Sequestor,

Funnily enough I also hold PRE, and AVM, amongst others.

PRE I bought several years ago, for 60p! LOL!
One of those short term punts that turns into a long term hold due to watching the price tank and failing to employ a sensible stop loss.

Actually, with the natural gas shortages and price hikes in the USA PRE may start to look interesting again, so now I'm happy to hold, and MAY consider a modest average down IF things start to improve, and natural gas prices there continue to rise in the autumn.

Avocet was more or less a punt after reading the BB, and from what I can make out, the mangement team seem a decent group, and as long as no political risks suddenly arise they may well improve shareholder value. They seem to have extended mine life expectancy in the past, and obviously one hopes they may be able to repeat such a feat.

My favourite share of the moment is Regal Petroleum(there is a short thread here, but not much info.) Regal are run by a Rumanian called Frank Timis, who managed to float RPT in London last year, which was considered a fair achievement in the market at that time!

Regal are extracting gas in the Ukraine, currently for the local market, but once they exceed a certain daily extraction level, they will become the ONLY foreign company with a licence to export, and that raises their revenue by 50% copmpared to the local market. This will happen in the very near future.

I hold some Oxus Gold shares, and they are looking promising as they have been turned round as a company by new management, who are now meeting targets, and expect a first gold pour before year end.

I am looking at the African Diamonds placing on AIM too, I am awaiting the prospectus.

Any thoughts on the above?

regards,

Andy.

Andy,I see your Regal went up after floating.Do you see this happening with African Diamonds and where can i get a prospectus

gardyne,

To be honest until I've read the prospectus, i'm not sure!

The countries they operate in have a fair country risk, so maybe not.
(Although the same could be said about the Ukraine I suppose!)

I may just wait until they float, and buy on AIM

To obtain a prospectus, the brokers are;

hi Andy
sounds like I bgt. PRE at about the same time as you- fools and money?-well in my case anyway, I like the sound of African Diamonds and will take a look( the first share I ever bgt, was De-Beers)
Just rumaged thro` some old stuff and found two more "short term punts" that went wrong-I still hold them in hope---------Desire Pet.&,GTL Resc.(I bgt. them when they were `Bakyrchic Gold`)

When`s that damned AVM going to do something? what a boring share.

What keeps people going back to ADVFN is the ability to say, within reason, what you like.

The reason that I very rarely use this BB is that it is dead, and it is dead because they banned the posters who had an opinion. I'll keep my opinions for elsewhere, MAM is middle-of the road insipid nicey-nicey office-based share chat.

And sequestor, I ain't keith or the soph, I'm (in Andy's words) a protagonist.

Regards.

cassis
If you don`t like the board and have been told by MAM that the unruly yob element are banned, why on earth bother to post?, or even to "look in", you `keep your opinions for elsewhere` you say , but you don`t.


interesting to see though, you are still posting which I guess slots you into the categorie of being, in your words,a------

" middle-of the road insipid nicey-nicey office-based share chat(ter)".

I believe that MAM have little use for a free bb anyway, the `pay-board`has several hundred posts daily, but if you can`t pay or won`t pay you miss it.

ps I know who you are .

Who am I?

Cassis:

You have the right to say, within reason, what you like here.

I'm sorry, but it really is complete nonsense to suggest otherwise.

MM

andy,have taken on board your advice and thanks for taking the time to get me the details of the broker where i can get the prospectus.

gardyne,

My pleasure.

this site is a bit like "west world" great film.....you can almost see the tumbleweed. are there any posters with anything to say?

superrod,

This is the idiots room.

The elite are in the traders room:

Andy - 20 Jun'03 - 16:14 - 4 of 9


Felix,

Well that really shows what an appalling resistration "policy" AM have.

No wonder the idiots are back in the "IR" (Idiots room)
(No that they ever went away in the first place, just quietened down until the heat was off, but you knew that anyway!)

Bubbling away, and will soon be back to full venim any day soon, IMHO.

No wonder the IR is dead!

sniff

Sniffer,

Glad you agree, and I'm sure Supperod does too!

The IR has been wrecked by a group of idiots, that were allowed to trash all the threads, and as a result, caused this BB to lose a good deal of the posters that were registered here.

People that came from ADVFN have gone back there, as have the idiots that trashed the threads here!

When Am opened, ADVFN started to monitor their BB, and as a result, those poeple that came here found a less regulated BB than the one they were previously on. As a result they have returned from whence they came, and this BB has died.

Make no mistake, the responsibity for this BB dying lies with the idiots that wrecked the BB, and the management for not doing something about it until it was too late, IMHO.

I don't know if it's too late to save this BB, but something pretty original will have to happen to save it.

Sardinesplaice.com is fast taking over as the number 2 to ADVFN, and it's building because it's well moderated, and by word of mouth, no massive advertising spend. If you misbehave, they kick you out sharpish!

Andy.


PS sorry if you were offended, but my "idiots room" comment referred to the idiots that trashed the threads here, nobody else.

So only you know if I was referring to you or not!

i for one am not prepared to pay to chat on a premium bb when there are only a dozen or so posts on the free version. if someone could show me there was worthwhile traffick i might take a look.
sniffer/andy
i dont profess to be in the elite......i just want a forum to talk shares.....bull or bear. what i cant stand is the back stabbing/bullshit/stalking/alias crap etc.

Ho hum. Just had a look at Sardinesplaice, but I could not find much reason to stay now I am cured of my Ashley addiction. Poor old Ash is still putting up microsecond charts of TWT over there LOL... yes doctor I knew I said I wouldn't

I was actually banned from moneyam in its early days for 'HTML abuse' ! I was reinstated after a rather embarrassing correspondence when I finally agreed to be NICE to everyone (without even ONE exception which I had tried to negotiate...)

OK lets talk shares. Here are mine.

Hidefield HIF is getting jolly interesting don't you think? [Small mining explorer just negotiated an earn-in to a gold prospect in Brazil with a Canadian co. called Black Swan]

PDX... moving

JKX... ready for another run

AVM... stop-start

HPD, HEV... dead in the water. I however think HEV (gold explorer mainly in Bulgaria) is a sleeping beauty, fully financed for current activities by Goldfields who bought in at 7p, currently 5p

FLT Flintstone, IP in surface coatings etc. Frankly I found this by accident, typed in the wrong epic. Gone soggy since results. However, adequately funded as I understand it, cheap at 60% discount to flotation price.

JFR JP Morgan Fleming Russian... mainly in oil majors Yukos Lukoil etc... ???

REI Resources IT... refuses to die anyway, largest holdings GTL CER and TMG

I am itching to get back in to GWP but it has in fact substantially followed a prediction I made, to correct from the recent 265p high; I target 180-190 as re-entry zone

Watching Phytopharm PYM also

Would consider Dyson DYS and Porvair PRV, both in interesting materials sectors

Also hold Harmony HMY and Anglogold AU (US trading via www.sharepeople.co.uk, excellent reliable online broker).

Just a few midnight thoughts

Pat

thus and synstar ( THUS, SYN ) might be worth a punt i am very bullish on both companies.


ps

where has the MAM input gone? have they given up reading their bbs?

super-odd - 01 Jul'03 - 20:16 - 49 of 49 (rambling)

It is now 8.20 a.m.,and there have been over 30 posts on the `pay to talk` side,
no big cut and pastes ,no ramping, no ` mines bigger than yours`,no gangs roaming , ramping and warning off those who dare suggest a share may fall- some shorters too.
In short an eclectic, well mannered buch of posts, not suited to the mass `machine gun` scattering of any old share to `ensure one goes up` style loved by the bemoaners , who incidentally are totaly absent from the action- can`t pay or not allowed to, can`t afford to ?
90 posts an hour is quite enough for normal perusal thank you, unless you are a ramper of course

Iain

Hmm seems I'm free to post, question is will I be talking to anyone?

Densil:

Why did you think you wouldn't be free to post?

And yes, you are talking to someone.

Hello.

MM

still tumbleweed town on this site

still not managed to save the fiver yet drooper?

just on my way out Rod, is there any wonder people stay away with such obnoxious prats like oily here, a potencially very good alternative site ruined by oily and his handful of jokers ..bye

nope, insane.

MM my last posting was wiped probably because I was posting a view that was less than respectful of the management's judgement in the matter of ainsopf
I actually came back to see if there was any way of unsubscring to the moneyam end of day newsletter but I cant seem to get it to wipe me out.

but I cant seem to get it to wipe me out

Hey I just tried to get on to Sardinesplaice and it said "Account disabled"

Did I do something bad?

Last thing I did was to bung up some links to a couple of US sites, quite respectable politix/general interest, on a "What are your favourite links" thread, e.g.
