Griffin Mining Share Discussion Threads

Sorry, forgot one point. You mention the restrictions on buy backs, the BOD imposed them, why?

Hi zoo, I see you’ve had another interesting morning , he will never give up he must be very lonely with nothing better to do, I’m thinking of moving my UU isa into something else I’ve become very bored with it I am in profit plus a dividend ,I’m thinking about more GFM or GGP or possibly lloyds bank ,any ideas,

[rose_by_another_name] 04/3/2021 13:17

So you actually declare that your purpose for
today's postings is just to annoy? I am immune,
but I am not the only one affected.

[zooman] 04/3/2021 13:15

And stop winding you up. You are my lockdown toy. :-))))

[rose_by_another_name] 04/3/2021 11:55

Or you could just stop weighing in on an issue
you say you don't care about, "one way or the
other".

You claim to filter people who post stuff you
don't want to read. That would work. Why should
those of us who favour dividends and want to
discuss them have to put up with your negativity?
If you were against them and had an argument to
put, that would be one thing, but you DON'T CARE.

[zooman] 04/3/2021 11:54

Rose I just point out there is no dividend on the table but they are doing buybacks I even said to G it would be better if the could buy larger chunks but pointed out what their restraints are . But why is the same questing being asked every week when there is no dividend.You are an ex proof reader why don't you write a polite letter to the board ( I know polite is not in your vocabulary but I'm sure you can try) asking if or when they will pay a dividend. Then if there are lots of recs he may reply. You could even ask him to reply to me as he knows my contact details and I shall post his reply.

SO, its not that I'm against dividends and they are, its because they just whine about it and don't do anything about it.May I suggest that you go to the same four ( yes its just the same four) that keep bringing up the dividend debate time after time and ask why do they keep doing so by making the same posts asking the same questions and repeating themselves when there is no dividend being paid and the last one was years ago.Its like people banging their heads at the Wailing Wall, it does no good and gives them a headache. I'm not against dividends at all I hold shares that pay them and understand the benefits of them. However we don't have one here and have only ever had one years ago. These four people would do better to lobby the company directly not via a BB. Where there is little support.Do you honestly believe Roger reads the posts by these four people takes them seriously? Also the company don't have to make a payment there are no rules to say they have to. Yes people would like one but thats not the same as having to make one.If these four made an argument for a dividend and got sixty plus recs then people may think theres a real sounding for one but there's not. So what does that tell you? Maybe I should say YES lets have a dividend then maybe they'll be happy then?However they're only doing buybacks not paying a dividend. Thats the reality, no-one in the main gives a toss because they are making money on the rise of the share price and not agreeing with them because they know there is no current dividend on the table as yet.The share price will start lifting shortly anyway most know that.Zoo

For someone who declares himself not interested
in dividends, zoo is most vociferous in attacking
those who are. It doesn't compute.

In other news:

"It was revealed last year that Dolly had donated
$1 million (£760,000) to coronavirus research, which
had contributed massively to the development of the
Moderna vaccine."

Skin in the game. A great entertainer, who tries to
stay out of politics, unlike many.

[sotobaz1] 04/3/2021 10:26

Zoo, rather than use your predictable (yawn ZZZ) why don’t you make an attempt at responding in a civil and constructive manner. I fear that is beyond you. You seem to have no consideration for views contrary to yours. Your assumptions on buy backs at your je moment are flawed

[zooman] 04/3/2021 10:25

One last thing G, do you agree with all of the rubbish Rose posted yesterday regarding the vaccine?Zoo

[zooman] 04/3/2021 10:22

G, as I've said I'm not against dividends but accept the institutions don't like investing in China its not Griffin thats the problem. The dividend won't entice them because of the location.As soon as they update the market on production figures the share price will lift.G, it's simple get everyone to email the company and put pressure on them regarding paying a dividend, then fine. Thing is there are only about five people banging on about it on here. Others have said they aren't all that worried about one. The facts are this, currently there is no dividend on the table they are doing buybacks. But overall the share price has gone from upper twenties to 160p plus. A lot of savvy investors have done very well out of it and even more so if it was via an ISA . I'm happy for buybacks because currently that's all there is. I would be even happier if the company was bought / buyout / T/O for 250/270p But why the same few people keep going over the same ground time and time again is strange. The fact is there is no dividend on the table at the moment, will there be? who knows?My bike is waiting to go on a ride then to the airfield where I'm sure they will ask what had been said on here.Zoo

[zooman] 04/3/2021 10:00

Do you know how to use a phone Rose or is it a case you just like to moan about things? I see you as an armchair moaner. Things to do but I'm sure that you will spend the day posting about non payments of dividends and how people shouldn't have the vaccine or some other rubbish. Just for you Rose.BBC News - Dolly Parton reworks Jolene for Covid vaccinationhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-56262280

I do not agree with your comments regarding a dividend Zoo. Firstly we are all entitled
to voice our opinion without getting sniped at. Secondly the old time purpose of investing in a company was to get some return on your capital. A company such as GFM can well afford to do so and such an announcement would probably add about 20p to the share price immediately. As normally happens the fall in price when ex div would be quickly made up.Apart from continuing your spat with Rose and others I think you are arguing just for the sake of it

[zooman] 04/3/2021 09:41

Yawn zzzzzz. Same old same old....Boring....,

[zooman] 04/3/2021 09:40

Alan, don't blame you. Have you heard Griffin aren't paying a dividend again yet. I don't think Rose has but they are doing buybacks though. :-))If the institutions were that keen they would have said to Griffin pay a dividend and we'll be interested. However its not Griffin they don't like its the Chinese. So all of the whining in the world won't change things as they currently stand. It didn't help the share price much last time they paid one.So today Rose is on the dividend debacle again. So predictable....Zoo

[rose_by_another_name] 04/3/2021 09:27

I've never phoned Roger or anyone in the company.
By all reports, the only result will be found in
ones telephone bill.

[rose_by_another_name] 04/3/2021 09:26

Alan still can't work the filter. And he
is still convinced that everyone he doesn't
like is the same person with many nicknames.
When he posts that, he looks foolish to the
persons concerned, as they know who they are
and know he is confused.

[zooman] 04/3/2021 09:25

They why don't you get on the phone to Roger and say I'm Rose the window licking troll from the ADVFN BB and I demand a dividend. Maybe they will decide to give everyone an Easter Egg as well. :-)

[alangriffbang] 04/3/2021 09:22

zoo sve is up this morning but no sign of GGP ,interesting , just had a call and am meeting my friend that rose upset many moons ago he said rose and phillis were known to be the same person right back then, when you think this has been going on all this time and nothing gets done about it , under the filter button it says ban from all threads it just doesn’t work ,what’s the point of having it ,will be off out soon sorry to leave you with the old windbag , ha ha ha ,

[phillis] 04/3/2021 09:18

For sure there is only upside in such a move, Rose

[rose_by_another_name] 04/3/2021 09:11

Quite aside from the dividend as a reward in
itself, the institution of a dividend would
bring in more investors and raise the share
price over and above any rise brought about
by announcement of production improvements.

[rose_by_another_name] 04/3/2021 09:07

That there is currently no dividend is not
an immutable fact. It is a problem that may
easily be fixed. Griffin paid a dividend in
the past, and could do so again. Now is the
time. The licence has been granted. Zinc and
gold prices are healthy and the metals in
demand. The processing capacity is already
built. The company is making money and it
is time (past time) to return value to the
shareholders. Share buy backs are clearly
not the way to go about it.
