Botswana Diamonds Share Discussion Threads

Hey Clinton, is this what you meant the other day with your comment about developments elsewhere? You got us all interested for a moment! Some serious cash there! It has to be a current producer surely? Debeers, Lucara or maybe Alrosa? It goes to support JT's view that we at BOD are active in the best and most prosperous Diamond land in the world! Good things to come here for 2017...........

That's serious money for a straightforward equity placing. I wonder who participated.

Here's to another solid day...... GLA

[mickluv1] 05/12/2016 16:06

Obviously not! He had my attention there for a moment too!

[chapchip] 05/12/2016 11:32

CLINTON...ANY EXPANSION ON THAT COMMENT ??

[mickluv1] 05/12/2016 11:05

What does that mean Clinton? Would you care to elaborate for the rest of us please?

[clinton baptiste] 05/12/2016 10:07

The really interesting developements are taking place elsewhere

[firmor] 02/12/2016 18:14

good to see james Campbell on board looking positive .they know there is diamonds in the pipe .with his back ground and work with AFD the only way forward and up cheap at this price .looking forward to results in 2017

I have added a few here when funds have allowed and topped up on the recent lows at Luc. Was not expecting such a savage fall back there. Lundin won't have been buying on a bad outlook.

[mickluv1] 01/12/2016 11:03

I can only imagine the discussion that took place to entice him back, "yes sir we have Diamonds and we were so pleased with your handling of AFD we'd like you to come back and do it again! Not just the once this time but 2,3 or maybe even 4 times, as a signing on bonus we'll give you 3 million shares at the current sell price but now you know what really is to come you'll know they will be worth £4,500,000+ in the next 12 month.......Happy days GLA

[elmfield] 01/12/2016 11:01

Must like what he sees?
Very positive for us, imv.

[dmelon] 01/12/2016 10:59

I think he is being considered as somewhat of a catch.

[chapchip] 01/12/2016 10:57

well if only...............but clearly he must be excited by the prospects and likewise JT etc to employ him as I suspect someone of his calibre doesn t come cheap............

[dmelon] 01/12/2016 10:50

Now predict we are going to 186p Chapchip.

[chapchip] 01/12/2016 10:35

I WAS RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

[marcello lippi] 01/12/2016 09:21

Starting to feel more like the old AFD days - hopefully a similar result can be achieved

[dmelon] 01/12/2016 08:19

Welcome aboard James.

[talkman2] 01/12/2016 07:14

Significant news and appointment this morning . He would not be joining us if he wasn't excited by the prospects . A re-run of AFD ?

[markfrankie] 27/11/2016 20:11

Well put teemore

[elmfield] 25/11/2016 17:06

I added a few this week,
Very happy to do so.

[chapchip] 25/11/2016 16:59

teemore, your wasting your time!!!!!

[teemore] 25/11/2016 13:58

For the record Pet (went from 4p to 1.60 plus), AFD and Cooley were the companies that I gained most from and I invest in small AIM companies which were generally off the radar. If you get one good one it will make up for 10 poor/bad ones. I normally do not invest large sums and understand that there is an element of gambling. There is of course an element of gambling/risk in most things that we do regarding investing. Look at how pensions funds have performed and with some companies taking 1.5% to maybe lose 20% of our capital in a year. All one has to do is to look at what happened to many folk who bought new homes to see the value halved, yet they had to continue to pay a mortgage on the full amount. What I liked about JT was that he took no salary from his companies unlike many of his peers who raided their AIM companies taking 500k + salaries.

[fenners66] 25/11/2016 09:28

If it was opinion or ranting maybe, but its not , 4 companies with a decade of track record to examine, as printed in endless reports.

I go back to finding out via these boards that (originally) PET were not a standalone company, then surprise that there were these links to others , then finding out they all did the same thing, talked raised equity, spent it , wrote it off and did it again.

And again....

Before investing I wanted to know that..... others may too.

[chapchip] 25/11/2016 07:42

fenners.....you are so anti clontarf its laughable.

AIM is strewn with numerous businesses that have failed or will fail.....even the FTSE has them.

you just take an opportunity to bash.......time will tell if you are right, but as Elmfield said, I ve done more than alright in in AFD, so this is largely a free carry

[elmfield] 24/11/2016 17:54

Well,
I read the annual report today,
I liked it, there are quite a few irons in the fire.
Actually I reckon the risk is well worth the possible reward,
Did O.K in Afd.
