".......According to Susan Last at Computershare on, admittedly 20 March, my position in GWGO was 1-CERT @9,958,540 & book entry shares 41,825,868 giving a total of 51,784,408 (sorry not 41 mill +). I have not been advised about any change but there again I am a thick pensioner investor and as such I may have missed something important!!! Anything you can advise me on would be appreciated..........."

Peter, This is what I would do if in your position. you need to check again and bring it properly up to date so that you know exactly where you stand. If your other figures you quote are correct, flafsyerfan's figures would be about correct, but you need to know for sure.

Do you now have another broker? If you have, no doubt it will be a UK based broker. So you need to discuss it with him so that you get these shares on his books.

Why? Because, in the possible chance that, in order for Lumb to squeeze more blood from the stone, he puts out some more carrots via PR's, or for whatever, and this share price moves up to where you can scoop some of your cash back, you are in a convenient position to do this QUICKLY.

It remains only a possibility so far, but that gives you time to BE PREPARED.

No more talk of 'dumb pensioners'. We have all done stupid things in the past (and no doubt will do some again) - c'est la vie. However, with the internet it is now much easier to get helpful information - as you are doing.

As the Chinese say - Bon Chance!

PS If you do not yet have a good UK broker go to - http://www.ukcitymedia.co.uk/stockbrokers/idealing.php This will give you some food for thought in helping you make the right decision - and get the best 'fees'. After your Spanish ' boiler room' experience, no doubt you will now be down on the international 'suckers list'. So AVOID responding to any unsolicited mail, or e-mail drops - no matter how tempting. But then you have worked that out for yourself???
