Onwards and upwards with diamond hands if this is daft enough to go south : )
I sent an email to Chika yesterday but haven’t received a response so must be luck of the draw getting a response.
I've sent a few lottery scams their way over the years, they never reply though - terrible comms
'The content of this email is confidential and intended for the recipient specified in message only. It is strictly forbidden to share any part of this message with any third party, without a written consent of the sender.'
That is written at the base of her response and I will not risk incurring her wrath!!! Suffice to say that she kept within the legal guidelines - I am sure that others would have had emails too surely?
Frequent*
I agree with some comments describing a 'middle ground'.
Too much talking makes news unappealing and watered down.
Not enough coms and it's generates frustration, but when news drops it's a scramble to read.
I'm hoping in BMN once the ball starts rolling on our future plans it'll lead the way to more prequent news updates. I feel this is the blackout before the storm, once the lights are on it'll shine.
Don't leave the board hanging Daitom?!
On the subject of comms - I sent an email at 3pm and had a response from Chika at 4:30pm - Excellent service!
A great post, Libero.
I'll just add that I've made much more (paper) profit from buying & holding than I have from buying & selling. My best performing stocks are the ones where I research, buy & hold. And some of those went down (a lot) before they went up.
Sitting on my hands is the easiest investment tactic I know of, but the hardest to do psychologically.
gambitxjs, Pdub, 1210, Sanchez, and others,
I completely agree with you all. Too many people here seem desperate to clutch onto anything negative they can get their hands on. They then complain without any sense of irony about sentiment not being what it should for a green vanadium mining company producing tons of vanadium, with solid plans to produce much more, whilst Vanadium commodity prices are soaring, etc.
Yes the company communications are poor. I cannot argue with that. But how often have we had it where nothing appears to be happening, everyone is getting increasingly frustrated, and then something jaw-droppingly amazing happens? That's happened repeatedly with Bushveld.
I remember people saying they've had enough and selling up in Jan-March 2017 where the share price fell from 3.1p to 2.7p ... literally just before it re-rated to 8p. It then stubbornly stayed at that level for 11 months, causing many more people to sell around 8p .... before then re-rating to 28p-48p in the months that followed.
And it feels like the same thing here, there's some crazy people selling sub 20p because they've had enough, when I am convinced we're on the cusp of most incredible re-rate to 50p, 100p, and possibly much higher.
Bushie is not an easy. It never has been to be honest. But, if you can block out the noise, the derampers, the doom & gloom, and if you can accept the communication from the company will probably never be that good, you will make a hell of a lot of money in the next few months and years. It's as simple as that.
And actually we truly are on the cusp of the most transformational news with Eskom, and Vanadium as a commodity is on a major bull run that's only just begun.
So I would encourage everyone not to obsess over the small stuff like Abengoa or whatever other irrelevant or peripheral thing comes next, and instead focus on the bigger picture.
Otherwise you will simply drive yourself mad in the process and may end up making the mistake of getting off the rocket just before it takes off!
DYOR & GLA
Fact is , you’ve all been waiting for this moment for two years for vanadium prices to rise and then when it happens and the shareprice starts to recover , unbelievabley you all shoot yourselves in the feet and start getting impatient and focus in on a minor thing like Abengoa and then start flapping around like bloody headless chickens . Ffs stand back from the picture, what is about to happen incredibley shortly is truely about to project Bushveld into the world limelight of energy storage solutions for the African continent, if you can’t see that then what can anyone more say??
There has to be a middle-ground. Too much walk and not enough talk means you wander off and know one knows where you've gone or what you are up to.
Taken from the ALBA bb this morning, they think too much talk and not enough walk destroys investor confidence
"It is very sad for the holders who got spiked at 50-60p.
RNS after RNS of empty talk has destroyed the SP . I am gutted."
