I expect it will be blue by the end of the hour

Now 361K more Buys than Sells

dagnamit - not quite but 250K more Buys than sells so far

I just had a completely derisked 50,000 shares at 23.2299p

DiamondLover - the MM is manipulated all the time by the Market Makers. They will allow this to rise when they have accumulated enough cheap shares.

dagnamit - those are not real sells they are ersatz ones due to some kind of spreadbet platform. They will be reversed off at the end of the day.

as usual BMN has done exactly what it said it would and has pulled off a deal, which in some respects is even more impressive that Vametco. Vametco was a somewhat stranded asset due to the withdrawal of Evraz from all of its South African businesses. In fact Evraz believed that Vametco could not run productively without a feed of Vanadium rich sl-a-g from their Highveld steel plant - as demonstrated by the announcement today Vametco most certainly can and is now on track to produce more than during the times when it was taking sl-a-g as part of the input mix. They are now running solely on locally mined magnetite ore, and at production costs which are no higher than they were.

Furthermore Vanchem is a much more highly diversified chemical processing plant, allowing access to a much wider range of Vanadium products, and premiums over that available purely from FerroVanadium. The 3 rotary kilns there now increases our total to 4, providing very helpful diversification and insurance against any kind of local problems.

Another outstanding day for Bushveld Minerals.

Para 61 is quite interesting also :-

In addition, Burford will continue to press for regulatory and criminal action to be
taken against such wrongdoers. In this respect, Burford has already asked the FCA to
investigate the manipulation of its share price. Burford wishes to assist the FCA to the
best of its ability in order to ensure that appropriate regulatory and/or criminal
proceedings are brought against those responsible, whether by way of public or private
prosecution. Burford has a legitimate interest in such action being taken in order to
ensure the perpetrators are punished for their wrongdoing and to deter future
manipulation of its share price.

Very interesting MenoMosoo

652,008 Buys vs 202,905 Sells

Buys outstripping sells by 3.2 to 1

lightning - Vanadium is of course not a rare-earth so he was seriously misinformed. In fact Vanadium is not rare at all, it's more common than copper.

Pat48 - I've spoken to a number of people in the energy industry who are still woefully ill-informed about VRFBs - assuming them to be slow to respond or still in the laboratory. And these weren't just your average guys these were highups

Pat - they don't know what we know

Someone tried bashing it down with multiple 30K sells around 10am but go essentially nowhere - they were simply handing shares to the MMs who are going to make profit on them tomorrow.

Apologies Paludina, but I will not stop.

54,000 more Buys than Sells today, to add to the 540,000 more Buys than Sells yesterday.

Pat- I take your point, but they are simply bouncing from 8% of what they were 2 years ago to 12%

Daisydog - there are multiple MMs and each of them can be running their own overlapping spike and walk down agendas, knowing that there is always a soft seller that want to run away with their profit. The argument that MMs should do anything to encourage volume doesn't wash with them, they don't make their money by taking a little spread on large volumes, they make money by take a large spread between their Sell and Buy phases.

The MMs cannot and do not feel any pressure to 'encourage' the market in any way - they see their job as simply to extract rent from it. As far as they are concerned it is the job of the companies themselves to play the accordian and do the dancing, whilst they just sit there with the hat outstretched.

Stubot - it is not a matter of if.
