Why don't you say what you really think?Hi Slippery,
From what little we know I can only assume Kobold has thus far attempted to throw some lowball offers at us, perhaps around the AUD$1 mark per share plus some royalties at best. We can all only hope that Nige is negotiating for a much better deal than that, that is for at least ATH AUD$1.37min to also save any possible class actions against the board.
To me, I believe we have most the cards, even if it does involve going the long road through the courts, therefore we should push for US$1.50min or tell them a polite "No", they (or someone else) will then either eventually cave in to our 'fair price' or they wont get what they want and will have to sit there and watch us go through the courts for the next couple of years or potentially lose the resource to a higher bidder, and I think they want this bad enough to not let that happen.
Honestly it's just too hard to say atm, all we really know is Africa is as wild as it gets, and right now absolutely anything is possible. I think we've all been through too much drama over the last few years to sit here now and pretend that we know exactly what will happen
Actually, you don't need to bother. This previous post of mine lists your priceSSS over a two week period, which you then accused me of making up.
"Highly strung...playing the victim...ironic behaviour." Hmmmm
When you first blew in here, my first thoughts were that you were a little OTT.
Not for one moment did I suspect your agenda or motives though I 100% UNDERSTAND why others did.
I DMd one poster asking him to lay off you and why I thought they should and also in the interests of thread harmony. I did not necessarily think that they were going too far. No reply but I think they did wind it down.
Now lets get a few things very straight.
I am not a gatekeeper - nobody else is either. We are refugees from the crapper and have a tacit agreement to call out misbehaviour. It works extremely well, folks have apologised and for example some language has stopped as have girlie pics and some sexism.
I won't labour the point about the fantastic info', intel' and analysis that appears here on a daily basis.
Now it doesn't matter whether you, I or anyone else agree with this thread MO and the resulting decisions, that is what we have agreed to do and it has generally stoppped Crapper MkII, whilst maintaining humour and human interest.
I still get emotional goosebumps every time John is mentioned
With that in mind, perhaps you could show people here a little more respect, and not get strung up by anonymous bods on the interweb. Harmony.
I know that your remarks were not aimed at me, but I still think that you need to grow up.
Recently, I've been posting about people quoting prices that they would accept. I've made it clear why I think it sets a low bar for acceptance along wih a low bar for offers.
Since 22 March (two weeks) these were your posts and the prices you quoted or that I extrapolated from a sale divded by 3.52 billion shares:
$1.99 - 2.84
Auction
$2.50
$1.38 + royalties
$121 SP of Rio
$2.84
? + add $2.84
$2.56
$3.41
$2 hoping that management won't accept less.
$1.50
$2 sell to Zijin
So let's forget $121 as I presume Rio price was a joke.
Your prices vary between $1.38 + an undefined figure, and $3.41 which is almost 2.5 times as large.
What would you do if any reserve was not hit in the auction?
So yes enough of that.
Enough of whinging about your ' mistreatment ' here. The reaction to your posts was understandable.
What is not understandable is you outing grudges a year later.
Your OCD on prices and your changing with the tide is also beyond me.
So yes,
'enough of that, hopefully a lesson for many, and hopefully no matter how bad it gets, the overly paranoid gatekeepers can stay rational from now on. Now onwards, and upwards. '
There are no gatekeepers unless you believe there are. But I'm sure you're not paranoid.
BTW Slippery,
Why did you choose to ask this specific poster his opinion about acceptable price on only the second time you posted?
Do you know him?
