Thank you teemore if 2017 treats me better it will be a very good year indeed.

Now you know I'm not bitter - once made some money from the hype with PET and have not touched the rest of the stable with anyone else's bargepole let alone mine.....

Here's wishing you all a happy and prosperous 2017. All the best

Wexboy and fenners66 belong to the same party!. Wexboy -did anyone twist your arm to buy some stock?? It amuses me to see guys with nothing else to do- obviously bitter folk, just hope 2017 treats them better.

Wexboy ,If BOD and it's current prospects were such a basket case why do you think James Campbell has just joined the company ? I think I would prefer to listen to his judgement and experience than yours .

I'm afraid your common sense will not go down well with the gamblers, they are still looking forward to the jam sandwiches regardless how much mouldy bread is on offer

2016 – The Great Irish Share Valuation Project (Part IV):

Company: Botswana Diamonds (BOD:LN)

Last TGISVP Post: Here

Market Cap: GBP 6.7 M

Price: GBP 1.975p

Welcome back to The Never-Ending John Teeling Story… I had previously tagged BOD as worthless, so I’m gobsmacked to see it worth more today, at least in terms of market cap (share price is actually lower, but the share count doubled). Nothing’s changed…just more reports of ALROSA geologists wandering around Botswana, taking samples & finding the odd 1mm (that’s not a typo!) micro-diamond here & there. Sure, an ALROSA JV is impressive, but I’m beginning to wonder if it’s really just a staff holiday scheme for their (probably) badly paid geologists…put in a week or two on safari in Botswana, then head down to Durban’s Golden Mile for an all-expenses-paid getaway! The only impressive news is the appointment of James Campbell as MD – his resume’s certainly exemplary, but it remains to be seen what he can do with something like BOD!? As for the company’s finances, they’re more appalling than ever – annual cash burn will likely exhaust cash on hand (less net payables) some time in H1-2017:

(GBP 0.5 M Cash – 0.1 M Net Payables – 0.6 M Annual Cash Burn) / 338 M Shares = Zero

Yup, once again, BOD’s obviously worthless – how they keep raising money is beyond me. It’s astonishing to think unrelated parties, i.e. the great unwashed, occasionally buy this stock. Have they ever looked at the price chart…what are they hoping for here, exactly?!

Price Target: Zero

Upside/(Downside): (100)%

Merry Christmas guys and girls! All the very best to each and everyone of you ???

Lots of decent trades the last few days! If we keep going like this the 50DMA will move through the 100DMA making us a nice little golden cross! That should start to pull in the charters in! What with plenty of good news on the horizon these prices won't be around long! Massive buy...... GLA

Who took up the 500 K placing in May 16 at 1.5 p , I don't recall anybody I know getting asked to partake. Would have been an ideal time for James Campbell to get in?

[thecynical1] 16/12/2016 21:10

Mickluv - those two trades were almost definitwly from the same person....look at the price difference.....and the times.......jmo.

[mickluv1] 16/12/2016 16:24

P.S. As usual the Westbury sandwiches,sweets,coffee,teas etc were excellent although me and my friend from "The Wee North" arrived quite early and found some difficulty in being seated. It was a Thursday evening.

Mickluv1. I formed the opinion that Doctor Teeling has been most assiduous in pursuit of our interests. He and the non executive director Baroness Anne McNamara have been as far afield as Moscow .Here they were royally entertained by the new young dynamic leadership of Alrosa They are very hopeful about the "260" joint venture prospect. Dr Teeling and The Baroness flew back to London for yesterday morning's agm. Here there were no less than three sets of brokers assembled all competing to fund us for next year. There were substantially more common shareholders than usual present. Through assiduous questioning of Dr Teeling I established that even though nine holes have been drilled on the discovery " Bridgestone" kimberlite ( Maibwe) we need a confirmatory hole which will be much more detailed and technically exhaustive. Mr Campbell seems to be exceedingly professional and capable.

Fiachra what was yesterday's information meeting like? Did you pick anything up?

[fiachra] 13/12/2016 22:25

Not going but I am going to the information meeting in Westbury Hotel,Dublin at 5 pm on 15/12/16.

[mickluv1] 13/12/2016 22:18

Is anyone going to the AGM? I can't get the day off work sadly! If one ofyou kind people could post an update I'd appreciate it........ do we think there's some news coming our way?

[mickluv1] 13/12/2016 12:45

It doesn't seem to have done much for the TSD share price!
