Buddy you need a check up from the neck up. I posted a genuine mining related question. Can you tell me what I have to gain from other people buying a few shares in Galantas. Seriously. Have you any idea the kind of buying pressure needed to actually increase the share price? Perhaps you should post someting of more substance rather than making unfounded accusations.

Despite what you seem to think, not everything on the internet is a conspiracy. all i wanted was a bit of information from folk i deemed to be passionate and therefore well informed on this kind of subject, there was no need for your sniping. And people had the audacity to ask the moderators to ban me!!?

As I said, thankfully I got some excellent responses in the other thread. It's nice to be made to feel welcome on a board.

I'm with staffordshirechina on this one.

it's perfectly true that it takes a great deal of canvassing to achieve anything on the internet, but you should see my inbox after a trip to places like West Africa or the Caspian. There is a vast amount of this sort of thing about.


I was on a project about 10 years ago where a promotion of this sort caught someone's imagination. Over the next 3 months around a dozen people were drawn in and about £20,000 invested. I wasn't one of them, because the underlying basics ( P/E ratio especially ) couldn't be established.

The shares ultimately collapsed despite a constant flow of promotional literature from the company. Then this stopped, and someone established that the company had filed for Chapter 11. Of course, that was the end of it and no-one ever saw their money again.

I've always taken the view that share canvassing on indirectly related websites should be regarded as churning at best, and avoided. I suggest that this one be taken in the same vein

Indeed, I don't think its what anybody comes here for & phrases such as "Buddy you need a check up from the neck up" barely endear.

I would also add that those of us on here with an interest in the history of mining will have come across numerous 19th century examples of mines being heavily hyped in the Mining Journal as about to make massive profits, drawing in investors, yet then failing to find the promised vast reserves and going under with only the salaried directors getting anything out of the venture. Apart from the fact most of us here haven't got any spare money in the first place, we know that investing in mining can be a quick way of pouring money into a hole in the ground unless you're very well informed and know exactly what you're doing....

Guys.

You're absolutely correct and I would never advise anyone to invest money into anything they do not fully understand.

However I was being accused of having ulterior motives so I posted you a detailed account of my research, which took some time and effort on my part to put together I might add. I really don't care if anyone here invests in Galantas or not; it isn't why I originally posted, however I don't like being accused of things are not true.

As an aside, you mention intenet "scams", i seriosuly doubt you will ever see any of these scams going into the detail i went in to in my prior research post, including links to back up everything I wrote. The maths are all sound and everything I wrote can be verified if anyone actually took the time to check it through.

I would hope that anyone even considering investing money would do their own research and not rely purely on a post they see from a random person on a mining forum on the internet!

However you dress it up this is pure and utter spam & its getting extrodinairily tedious.
If I wanted to receive spam I'd give my email address out to all and sundry. I don't & I don't.
I certainly don't want to read it here.

Cast No Shadow - will you kindly go away?

CastNoShadow has already stated his intention to 'go away' and qualified the conditions of his return.
Presumably he will return in triumph, (or not), at a later date. 🙂

[mod]Locked.

This is going nowhere, other than to cast significant doubt on the motives of the Opening Poster who now seems to be advocating buying shares in a speculative mining project.

Any more of it and it's a ban. You have been warned. [/mod]
