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

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

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((

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.

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:

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.
