Long awaited mining licence expected shortly. Bulletin board on iii is buzzing with excitement.
How many times have we heard this before?Investing in these minnow miners really is as close to gambling as you can get.
My advice would be don't touch them with a barge pole...and this is coming from someone who has made a successful living investing in start ups!
QFI AGM today: http://www.quadrisefuels.com/sites/default/files/Q...
2015 will be an interesting year as they enter the commercial phase!

I was hoping to go this year but couldn't get out of work so I followed as much as I could on the iii.co.uk BB in between more pointless meetings. 2015 will be an interesting year as they enter the commercial phase!
There seemed to be a lot of 'we can't comment on that yet' type answers. I know NDA's will prohibit most things, but it's annoying the hell out of me - I want my good news before Christmas!!

I keep getting tempted to incease my stock - 3rd time lucky or just throwing more money away. Time will tell, I have great faith in the product but wonder if its unlikely to move before oil prices climb back towards $90+.

I guess it depends on how long term you want. Hold until 2017 when everything is (hopefully) tied up and I'm confident a buy out will see £3+ per share.

Shorter term, we could have a decent rise based on the commitment to have refiners in place and ready by the end of 2014, but a jigsaw ain't finished til the last piece is in place...

Interesting. "Missed" a margin call on 200k at £0.15.

Investing in anything carries risk and by researching the prospects as thoroughly as possible, one can reduce that risk to an extent which then allows us to decided whether or not we should back it. Mining is littered with disasters but occasionally, with the right management, appropriate alignment of directors' interests and promising resources, the odd one can be successful. "Caveat emptor" for sure but maybe......just maybe......
The thing is, the longer term posters on here have not just heard it before, but done it before, and usually lost. Go back a year and have a look. Now you can go down that whole well-trodden gambler's route of 'but it could be different for me this time' but it requires an explanation of why you really are a beautiful and unique snowflake.

I respect your opinion Greg and from your background, you are obviously no stranger to risk. As an early investor in Amazon, I am sure you had to take a fairly calculated view with that investment as on occasion, IIRC it had some bad times during its early years.

The problem is - this chart is all too common...Investing in anything carries risk and by researching the prospects as thoroughly as possible, one can reduce that risk to an extent which then allows us to decided whether or not we should back it.

And you can bet it is the private investors who end up getting burnt.

Probably the most ridiculous question you'll ever be asked, but how do you choose who to invest in with regards to start ups? Investing in these minnow miners really is as close to gambling as you can get.

Why did you invest in Amazon? Where do you look for guidance with your decision making? (Complete newbie, just interested).
The only trading I've done was a couple of grand I could afford to lose in RMG. Made a lbit. Never bothered since! Lol.
Thanks in advance, Stuart.

If you dont mind me asking, what is your rating on Amazon at the moment? Buy? Sell? Avoid?
I'd certainly have it as part of a portfolio. I think we will see 400 again in the next couple of months.I'd personally avoid Facebook, Twitter, Netflix.

No offence gregg but as a play i would go short amazon and long babba . Ironically you mention other companies that make money and amazon doesn't. If you made some good cash early on good for yo but to suggest it's a winner is a bit tenuous
Sure 
So this good cash was 'early on'? Has their performance for the last 15 years been anything other than spectacular?
Do you have a Ferrari F40? (not suggesting it's all down to that Greg)

just to add if anyone here is buying amazon as a long hold you're soon going to lose your investment. ponzi scheme
I assume you've remortgaged your house to short it then?burwoodman said:
