Hi Paul, sounds like you are doing fine with the garden!
You may already be aware of this-
https://www.allotment-garden.org/vegetable/rocket-growing/
I am very hopeful that it will start to become apparent soon that although this has been the toughest year so far that the changes at Sukari are starting to pay off and that guidance will continue to improve with reduced AISC.
I really would like to be in a position to be able to offer something more definite, but lets put it this way I an not aware anything to the contrary, so that's something!
I like some raw veggies Mr T. The point is/ was that some foodbanks are not accepting them now as people wont use fuel to cook them,
21st century , first world country with food banks????
My garden is not looking too promising but hopefully better next year (he says) or the year after. The dwarf plums are not doing great on a few of the trees but they are only a few years old. A couple of the apple trees look ok and others dont.
I should have 10 blackcurrant plants next year, so maybe the year after for them?
The cougette plants are growing and the ghekin plants are getting big enough that im hoping slugs wont bother.
Ive never had any luck with cauliflower but am trying the romanesco ones this year.
Fingers crossed for the sprouts and turnips as well.
Its pretty much organic though Mr T. Stuff out of the compost bin + scrounged newspapers and cardboard.
Im hoping Centamin starts producing more sooner than Im expecting my garden to.

GOLD BARS traded in London's wholesale market slipped towards 1-week lows in terms of all major currencies on Tuesday, edging down as global stock markets rose for a 2nd session despite fresh threats from Russia towards neighbouring nations in Europe.
Moscow will "resolve by any means" Lithuania's block on rail freight into Kaliningrad – the isolated Russian province sandwiched between Nato member states and home to Russia's Baltic Sea Fleet – said a pro-Putin senator today, while a Kremlin spokesman called the move by Vilnius, made in protest against Russia's invasion of Ukraine, "illegal".
"Before Ukraine it was Georgia," said that country's Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili today, aligning his nation with Western sanctions against Moscow and highlighting Russia's 2008 invasion of 'breakaway' region South Ossetia.
"Russian troops occupy 20% of our territory. This is a reality. It's ongoing."
Switzerland imported over 3 tonnes of gold bullion from Russia in April, Bloomberg notes of the latest trade data, apparently destined for the country's gold bar refiners for the first time since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine.
Moscow's aggression triggered financial sanctions against many Russian businesses, but not – as yet – against commercial bullion flows, despite the standards-setting LBMA suspending acceptance in London of gold bars newly-cast by Russian refiners.
The world No.2 gold-mining nation, Russia exported 73 kilograms of gold to the UK in April, separate trade data say, just 0.3% of the average monthly level prior to March.

Hi Paul,
Why not eat some of the vegetables raw?
Mushrooms are really nice washed but sliced and uncooled in salads this time of year!
Broccoli is really good too!
Vegetables that are rich in vitamin C, like broccoli, spinach and lettuce, are among some of the healthiest vegetables to eat raw, since cooking can significantly destroy the vitamin C content.
Vitamin C-rich vegetables to eat raw include: Brussels sprouts. Kale.Broccoli. Lettuce.Green beans Snow peas.

What would be the price of gold if we went back to the gold standard?
For example, if the US went back to the gold standard and set the price of gold at US$500 per ounce, the value of the dollar would be 1/500th of an ounce of gold. This would offer reliable price stability. By introducing the gold standard, transactions no longer have to be done with heavy gold bullion or gold coins.23 May 2022
On April 5, 1933, Roosevelt ordered all gold coins and gold certificates in denominations of more than $100 turned in for other money. It required all persons to deliver all gold coin, gold bullion and gold certificates owned by them to the Federal Reserve by May 1 for the set price of $20.67 per ounce. By May 10, the government had taken in $300 million of gold coin and $470 million of gold certificates. Two months later, a joint resolution of Congress abrogated the gold clauses in many public and private obligations that required the debtor to repay the creditor in gold dollars of the same weight and fineness as those borrowed. In 1934, the government price of gold was increased to $35 per ounce, effectively increasing the gold on the Federal Reserve’s balance sheets by 69 percent. This increase in assets allowed the Federal Reserve to further inflate the money supply.
https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/fdr-takes-united-states-off-gold-standard
The government held the $35 per ounce price until August 15, 1971, when President Richard Nixon announced that the United States would no longer convert dollars to gold at a fixed value, thus completely abandoning the gold standard. In 1974, President Gerald Ford signed legislation that permitted Americans again to own gold bullion.

Mike, Im hoping they are pulling it out of the bag too. Its almost 3 years since we were flying and Sotolo was predicting £3 a share. We know what happened a few months later! We are at a third of what we rose to. :-(
Im hoping for some really good news and for the price of gold to start rising.
I find it hard to believe inflation is running at 9% (and then some) and gold is not taking off.
Maybe Mr T will say something here, but there is something wrong if food prices are rising , fuel prices are rising and more or less everything else and yet some things seem to be going on regardless.
I have heard of food banks in some places not taking vegetables any longer as people will not cook them due to gas and electricity prices!
Hi Jdm
A chunk of my holdings are certificated as I bought them when CNT was still listed on ASX, I have been paid on those, the others I hold are through Commsec which has also paid - ANZ are talking *******s, give them a serve :)
Great to see and to have such talent. It is an inspiration.
Hi Guys, does anyway know when the next key dates are for reporting for I guess Q2 and mine progress.
OMG I hope they are pulling it out of the bag
Cheers

Hi Cowichan,
Good news indeed, professional women on the case now . long overdue, if only such diligence had been carried out in the past quite likely Pardey,Youssef and the rest of the gang of bull****ters and toerags wouldn't been able to have kept a lid on the pile of crap that they were creating at Sukari and the share price would be somewhere quite different now!
European stock exchanges traded with losses in premarket on Wednesday in anticipation of United Kingdom inflation data, which could indicate where the British monetary policy would go after five successive interest rate increases. Elsewhere, ECB Vice President Luis de Guindos and ECB Supervisory Board Vice-Chair Frank Elderson will deliver speeches shortly after markets on the continent open.
The DAX contracted by 0.35%, London's FTSE 100 was down 0.15%, while the CAC 40 decreased 0.42% at 7:19 am CET.
The euro was 0.36% lower against the dollar at 7:27 am CET, trading at 1.04970. The British pound declined 0.33% compared to the greenback, going for 1.22366 at the same time.

Crypto up again today
You are welcome nunquam,
Thanks, one of my reasons for not buying crypto, is that one skill that i have, is , that I'm very good at loosing things.! I am sure ,that If I had crypto, then i would lose my key and not be happy !
Since 2008 and in that time must have known that there is a deluge of offers where the promise of "zero loss" opportunities in trading have never, under any circumstances, been true. The key to the above was the same as any of the other current scams in that there is an offer for ongoing profit with no effort involved. All you need to do is to sign up to one of the brokers being recommended. That in itself shows straight away that the way in which those making the offer make their money is from affiliate commissions, exactly the same as Bitcoin scams.

NunQuam,
Please see the following article on boiler room scams and cold calling which explains the regulations concerning the points you raised and this may explain why some brokers offer free information on certain stocks via adverts on the internet because when you request this free information then they can say that the person made contact with them first!
What is a Boiler Room?
Boiler Rooms are businesses that use high-pressure sales techniques to sell "sure thing" investments with the promise of massive returns. In fact, what they're selling is worthless stock in often unquoted companies that are either overvalued, or that simply don't exist at all.
How they work
Boiler Room operatives generally cold-call their targets, using phone numbers from publicly-available shareholder lists. Because it's against the law for brokers to cold-call in the UK, they tend to be based abroad (often Spain, Switzerland, or the US) where they're beyond the jurisdiction of the Financial Services Authority (FSA). They can approach anyone, anywhere.
Boiler Room techniques
A Boiler Room can look and sound legitimate. They may mention companies you've heard of, give themselves a UK address or phone number and possibly even have a professional-looking website. They're notoriously persistent and can hound a victim for months in the hope of a sale, catching out even seasoned investors. According to the FSA, Boiler Room Scam victims lose on average £20,000. The bottom line is that if an opportunity sounds too good to be true, then it almost certainly is.
The advice is simple. If you think you're being targeted by a Boiler Room, the FSA's advice is not to worry about being polite - just hang up. You should then call the FSA contact centre on 0845 606 1234 with as much detail as you can remember. You'll find more information about Boiler Rooms on the FSA website Financial Services Authority
looking better now and buyers showing a presence the past four trading days. Macd crossing confirmed and RSI 48. Technical traders would / or have taken positions. Also dollar weakening and the UST yield flatish so; not all glum news peeps. Trying to be positive - it helps :)

T2W forum member seeking a employment with a stock broker was surprised when he was asked to "Coldcall" potential clients .
Hey guys. Just a quick question. I have been in contact with a company called Logic Investments with regards to the job of trainee stockbroker. They said to me that I would have to cold call several private clients and once proven would make my way up and end up taking exams. I have 2 questions really.
1) Are they legitimate?
2) Is this process of "account opening" normal?
Cheers guys
There are always stinkers who will con trusting investors!
Two South London men who raked in £37million from 2,000 investors who thought their savings were going into an ethical scheme to plant trees have been convicted of conspiracy to defraud. The verdicts came on Tuesday at Southwark Crown Court, and Andrew Skeene and his business partner Junie Bowers will be sentenced at a later date.
The pair launched Global Forestry Investments in 2009, advertising a return of 12 per cent a year from growing teak trees in Brazil. They claimed their plantations would generate sustainable forestry and support local communities.

Thanks . I will avoid CFDs !!!
Hi Mr Bond,
Fair comments,
All of us Centamin holders are in need of some good cheer and luck at the present, although in the main we are where we are because we were conned by those in very senior positions who were less than truthful and were far better at selling a lie than they were at running a mining company properly, but then they are not alone, indeed the markets are run on lies and spoof by those who lack integrity, but are adept and skilful in taking advantage of investors in some cases gullibility, lack of understanding, even trusting nature.
We all make mistakes at times; I recall one of my biggest which was allowing myself to be persuaded to get involved in CFD trading!
In 2011 after months of receiving daily telephone calls from a chatty Darren, partner in a Logic Investments London I was foolish enough to be persuaded by him to open what he described as a CFD advisory account that he would personally look after.
I really didn't understand anything much about CFD trading, although reading though the literature he sent me it seemed that one could make exceptional profits very quickly on leveraged CFD's.
What did concern me though was if such profits could be made so quickly, then surely huge losses could also occur very quickly, so I asked him if this was the case?
I was told not to worry as he got 70% of the trades right and in any case, he would be using "Stop Losses" to protect my portfolio.
So, I was persuaded to transfer a very considerable part of my portfolio to his company to be used for margin purposes through Logic's Saxo trading platform.
Move things on 12 months to when CFD trading had turned into a 24/7 nightmare for me as after following the advice of my now not so chatty and nice, but very persistent advisory CFD broker the part of my portfolio transferred to his company was now worth considerably less than the initial amount transferred!
I asked Darren my advisory CFD trader about this and he quickly pointed out that in the past month trading of mostly short positions on my behalf he had got 34 trades out of 47 right!
That was true, but then when I looked at my account it hit me between the eyes one investment consisting of numerous CFD positions was now down over £30,000!
In the last month my brokers trading commissions were well over £4000 and yet my actual profit after costs etc was £370!
So partly because of this but mainly on my doctors’ advice who was concerned about my mental state I paid off my debt to Saxo bank and closed my CFD account!
I have never traded in CFD's or short positions since and although this was a very worrying and very expensive time the experience taught me a great deal about the dark side of trading the markets.
Since then I have tried to turn a negative experience into a positive by not making the same mistakes again and by trying to help other investors avoid getting reeled in by the very clever marketing tactics used by CFD brokers.
