::::::::::::::::: OXUS GOLD 2005 :::::::::::::::::

Hi Pol - I still do not hold OXS either, but made nearly 200% on AIMR and a few others still bubbling away - so I am happy overall. OXS was not too bad for me as I traded in and out a couple of times bagging a few pounds on the way. My biggest nightmare was AVM - did not lose, but buying high up ate a lot of profit on the way down from shares I bought years ago at 37p or so - I saw thousands go up in smoke, but I put it down to POG volatility then we got the warning - not at all happy with the way AVM handled this.

As for OXS the bounce was inevitable or oblivion. I still see less here than previous years (no Jerooy, no Khandiza, no solid news on AGF2, no news on the tax issues) I appreciate the new investor may pull a few strings, but what will be left for OXS to justify the market cap. 70p with the new shares is pretty high - but then investor appetite for OXS seems high and will probably continue to drive the price until there is a company update. But a lot seems to be riding on speculation that the Krygz and Uzbek governments will soften.

I am fully invested so cannot join in here. Having held OXS for best part of 4 years and taken the ups and downs I do feel a bit hacked off that I am not part of the fun this time round, but isn't that often the way - investors capitulate and then others move in to mop up. But money doesn't care were it is made.
