RE: What Have We Learned Today?12 Sep 2025 20:19

Thank you once again for your wise words, I am a small (100000 shares) holder and yes this was the first time I have been involved with a share with this much volatility in one day, the only exception was with Trumps tariff announcements that saw my portfolio decrease by £10k
Today was worse although I am not sure how much as for some reason Freetrade is showing the closing price of Empire at 0.38. But I did not sell any shares in fact I bought another £2500 at 0.40, and to be honest I wasn't even contemplating selling any, but I expect quite a few new investors did, and I can see why they would.
As for manipulation I am new to investing (18 months), and although I can see how shorting would affect the price, I don't quite understand some of the other tactics that obviously have been in play today, I guess I will learn that on my journey in investing!
To agree with others here and yourself nothing has changed within the company in the last 24 hours, there is still billions of tons of Titanium in the ground, still easily extracted (within reason), still a growing Titanium market, still good transport links etc.
I have watched SB's latest interview three times now, as you have previously stated the clues are within the interview, for me some of these telling quotes from Shaun are:
1. "The MRE is MORE than big enough"
2. "Empire can differentiate itself from 95% of the other Titanium suppliers"
3. "We're all cashed up to get through this stage"
4. " We have this unique ore, this unique opportunity"
So I believe this is a great opportunity, obviously investing always comes with risks, but I believe in SB, I have no reason to doubt that he is an honest and admirable man from the way he conducts himself, so I have put my faith in Empire, and my resolve is strong
