Sk1nman, this is not about guilt, self justification or whether anyone is a good bloke or not. Its about common sense and logic. The market is ruthless and there are lot that play it hard.

You state the options were always going to be oversubscribed, then if that was the case you did not have a hope in hell getting 10 million extras, so your statement is invalid. It looks foolish.

It was a good deal and most people knew it and a few of us stated it and not after the event. As such, it was more likely everybody was going to have their normal allocation reduced as the offer was over subscribed. Yet the nay sayers got stuck into the directors saying they were in a position to pick up undersubscribed, line their pockets and so on with lots of negative comments in my view to promote negative sentiment to reduce demand. Its simple.
.
Why? Because they were perhaps hoping to receive the extras if they threw enough mud the offer would be undersubscribed and you got sucked into their strategy with your repetitious comments in the negative. There is a possibility that was your strategy too seeing you went for 10,000,000?

There is no new evidence with regard to directors, indicating negative performance as some would have us believe. So why keep going over old stuff over and over again? Its like you repeat a movie word for word. We got it the first time around.

By continuing your negative comments for self justification, you might not get your original options in the money because you negatively affect sentiment and play into the hands of the trolls who use any excuse to voice an opinion because they really want in at a lower price. I don't categorize you as a troll but its time you understood how things work in the real world. At this rate you won't cut it.

We all understood your plight and listened to you and felt for you but your whining also affects others who hold and have taken a hit. You have got to know when enough is enough. We all take a hit sometimes from left field, but you have to mange capital to spread risk. Its obvious to experienced hands here who have been trading and investing for 30 years plus.
