We are now into the 5th week, of the proposed 4-6 week expected required 
time to issue a prospectus and thereby enable the listing of Bliss. Once it 
is out, then the ball can start rolling, whereas up until now, it has had a 
jail term effect, where no news was going to be possible for this length of 
time. Once the first announcement comes out, a succession will follow, 
esculating the exitiment as it gets closer to revelation time. 
News........any news, in this company seems to generate a fluctuation in the 
price, which is great for traders. It is the no news which is the slow and 
painful life relieving drain on the share price that we are all experiencing 
now.
For my 2 cents, (And I tell you what, I feel like I have earnt it.....yes I 
too have had the colour drain out of my face on more than a few times with 
this company), is that something is happening, the people in the know, are 
getting smarter and smarter at generating sharevalue, (and obviously and 
rightly so personal wealth),( look at Quixel for example, and watch 
Advantage shares go up as the opportunity to gain Quixel shares pre-Nasq 
release, is given to them.

So, yes it is a lot like when we were kids and Christmas day was 
approaching, the excitement of what would be in the stocking from Santa grew 
stronger everyday.

May Santa deliver good things to us all, and wouldn't it be great if it was 
a mid year christmas special event.

I probably need my head read, but I will be more accumulating if it makes it 
to 12c, and I already have a ridiculous amount.

PS Never again in my career as a trader/investor will I ever fall in love 
with a stock as much as I did with AQL. Because when I fell out of love with 
it ( we are still friends ), I had accumulated so many that my ability, to 
trade in a semi diversified, and balanced manner with intelligent risk 
management was irradicated.

It is a sobering thought to realise that if this company failed everything I 
have would be gone. May new investors learn from me , that no share is THAT 
good, that you should risk more than a set % of your portfolio on. I 
followed that advice at the beginning, but as it got cheaper, and I thought 
more news was coming, so I sold out of another share to buy up some more at 
that cheaper price ( some call this averaging down), and then it got 
cheaper, and so I did it again, etc.
Now I am so involved, I am numb. Nothing effects me anyore. I have set my 
sell rate, and when it reaches that I will be out, and among the happiest 
people in our sharechat community. If it does, then I will learn how to 
start all over and learn from it. In the mean time I will accumulate more at 
12c, as my optimism is my strongest asset, and may the news be forth coming 
sooner than later.

Please don't use the forum to tell me I am stupid...I already know!
Ritchie
