RE: Fast Markets - Nickel price7 Aug 2020 14:07
Unless people have itchy feet, what is the problem? Hardly a company out there that can deliver anything on the exact dates. Throw in COVID and you have to be having a laugh if you think timings will remain the same. There is also goos reasons to delay. Wait for Nickel price recovery on Chinese Stainless demand, countries throwing money at green economies, EV narrative picking up increasing desire for involvement in Vermehlo, getting rid of the seller to get a better starting price for news.
I do not want the finance deal to drop early! I'd love to see the EV narrative take off, EV metals to get a rising price, Elon's 'delayed' battery annoucement (we know will contain Nickel as he has already said he needs more Nickel) might drive people into getting their hands on limited future supply etc. I would prefer to see a deal on Vermehlo that meant little to no dilution for getting phase 1 going. Capitalise on the growing desire for EV Nickel to monitise Vermehlo early to help the rest of the project.
Everyone seems eager to rush a finance deal when the macro conditions are not ideal but have room to improve. There are more reasons to see it delayed than rushed as far as I am concerned. The Nickel has been proven the plans are ready that 'cannot' be taken away from us. Will people trade out to make a quick buck somewhere else...maybe, good luck to them, they weren't really investors anyway. Something could drop anytime. I also don't think it is a good idea to waste value enhancing news when a seller will absorb the liquidity from it and give them a better price. Better to work them out and then when gone ramp up the news flow.
