FarEnd...I thought of a reason the other day in answer to your question why have we got less of a percentage of Vadar than we got from our previous investment...could it be because it's worth more? On the other hand, to be fair, it's only worth more beecause we bankrolled it. Take your pick, I'm taking the first suggestion because a percentage of something is better than a percentage of nothing which is what we could be looking at with Kallak for some time to come, not forgetting of course that it is a valuable asset.
"I only hope that we can put Sweden behind us and find real value in 2 other countries."
Noble sentiments Oaktree and I agree with your comment about a ‘backwards’ country.
The trouble is the real and IMO the only value is Kallak.
Regarding the other two countries seems no-one is concerned that we are bankrolling the likes of Vardar.
And yes we've still to find real value in these other two countries where as we've already found it in Sweden.
As I've said before it's Kallak or bust.
Has Kurt referred to his statement 6 months ago that the government would be responding before summer...?!? Where did that come from, wishful thinking from him, a misinterpreted conversation or another inept lie from Sweden???
Not sure about the ‘tabled’ matters as they suggest a process to describe why nothing has happened...easier to just make a decision in my view but then they’ve successfully avoided that for 6 years so this just smacks of being a vehicle to delay yet again...the winters just keep rolling past!!! Eric...your support is wavering...you have the patience of a saint!!!
Sorry to predict it but another winter with this on the table. It’s time to ramp up Kosovo and Finland...with 63% Swedish investors...I’d delist from Atkie and realist in Kosovo or Finland...let the Swedish investors take this up with their own inept government...
...what a ‘backwards’ country...here’s to Boris and the UK building ties with the rest of the world!!! I never thought I’d be saying that!!! Happy Christmas to you all...I’m confident that the incompetence will continue long into 2020...and I only hope that we can put Sweden behind us and find real value in 2 other countries...
Aah, memories.
Eric. Lol.... I remember it well.
We shall see then. It would make sense to give a decision before Christmas break. As has been the case each year. Lol.
Probably making a decision on whether to make a decision. Even that would be a step forward.
Patience. Just in time for xmas
According the Avanza there is an extra government meeting today to make a decision on who knows what.
What are those?
Another year of Swedish Governmental nonsense, with no defensible reason for not yet awarding us the concession.
I want Kurt to push for a decision in Q1, because it looks as if we've had it for this year.
My support is wavering.
It might have been a highlight for you Suzy but I don't think Zak Goldsmith will be particularly concerned, do you?
As reported, the gain for the liberals is a rare positive on a dark night for the party.
Now we'll see what Boris is made of unencoumbered as he now is...and we might get a softer landing from Brexit. On we go then, let's have a song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wK60zxmctI
Did she say that...surely the leader of a party shouldi have that ambition? Anyway, she lost to the SNP who are also Remain so it's a bit of a different situation. Richmond was a bit of a highlight, Zac Goldsmith losing his seat.
FarEnd....It would be democracy though. Lol
Jo Swinson:
“ I’m going to be the next PM “
Hilarious. Not even an mp. Lost to a rookie 24 year old.
Got exactly what she deserved.
It's a good job that PR didn't apply then Suzy.
There would be no overall majority.
Brexit would have 13 seats and the Greens 17, recipe for disaster.
Just like Sweden lol.
Boris it is then, he won hearts and minds...so, good luck Boris.
It's all a nightmare.
Looks like a landslide result for the conservatives and BEM unlikely to benefit from the probable boost to the stock market.
For a normal person, yes, but these are politicians. Perhaps, Baylan thinks he can get to a decision before KU, or that before them something will come up to delay the need, such as election. Or, perhaps, KU finding against him would not be a major issue for him.
A member from the Environment Party recently said that the Social Democrats, their partners in Government, were aware of their position, namely, that they don't want a mine/there should not be a mine, but that the decision should follow the law. Given this, surely a decision could have been made. Perhaps, KU is less of a concern to the Social Democrats than their Coalition partners.
Would not doing anything until then, in a matter they describe as forthcoming and prioritiised, add weight if any more could be added to the complaint.
Suzy2.
What I write is intended to convey only where I think things are/are going. Personally, I would prefer an RNS tomorrow confirming a yes decision.
In the link from Avanza that you posted, all items were 'tabled'. I think this refers only to an agreement to the action outlined. The item above ours (also requiring a controversial decision) required similar questions.
My understanding of this referral to questions, or investigation, is that the matter will be passed to a person/or persons to review, and who will report back following this, and nothing will happen until then.
Whilst KU are considering a complaint, they will not conclude their report until Spring, so, essentially, I see nothing to push the government until then, unless the company changes from it's current strategy.
Whatever meaning tabled has.....
Juicy...Wheather meaning tabled has in the committee's process of investigation, I can't see why it would have any influence on the prioritising and forthcomingness of the decision... why would you say, so nothing will happen until then, you can't know that.
Also remember this..reindeer have got legs and minerals are where they are.
