This is going to be the very best article yet, so I'm afraid that I am going to have to insist on at least a hundred recommendations.

Ninvestor - thanks for looking at this comparison - approximately what P/E ratio might BMN weight in with at 40p SP ?

article number 2 - this one could be a biggie.

Is anyone going to be ready to read it at 7pm tonight ?

For those who wish to see the shipping data in all its detail it is here:- https://www.thebushveldperspective.com/blog/public-articles-1/post/nitrovan-shipments-to-the-us-183

Buzzz - it was not just william Steinberg who worked at Evraz - Lyndon 'Taff' Williams came used to be in charge of a major part of the steel plant at Highveld and cam to run Vametco when Evraz bought in. He showed Matti and I around the Vametco plant and is super enthusiastic about the future for Vametco

Knuttie and gambit - have a look at this:- https://www.planet.com/stories/bushveld-vametco-gZvGxsrig

I suspect we'll be discussing it all weekend.

That and the subtle changes in the satellite image at Vametco

Ophidian - they had to put up the prices quickly to charge top dollar to anyone just arriving and to potentially put off any more buyers.

However monday morning will be different - all those Traders out there will see the bounce of the double bottom that has been referred to earlier today and will start piling in, this is a different situation to that today as most of those guys were just heading off for the weekend and we're unlikely to buy into a price movement with only 30 minutes of trading to go.

The question is where will the MMs get the extra c. 800K of shares that they need to cover today PI Buys (averaging 34.7p) - if they cannot get them at those prices then they will have to move the price up pretty fast to be able to give them an average Sell-to-PI price of somewhat above the price that they think they can get those shares at (last significant source of shares seemed to be above 38p so if on monday an RNS arrives they may have to move quickly up above 40p .

knuttie - this is all good news but I don't think it is the end of the story

I see that 35.50p has just been paid for shares according to ADVFN

Undoubtedly Nick - I count over three quarters of a million more Buys than sells and since the MMs are playing a neutral book at present (they cannot risk going short with such great news around the corner) then they will have to let the SP rise up in order to stand a chance of getting the shares that they need before the weekend

knutsford - why do people always react this way, and can the apparently 'natural' reaction be overcome ?

Humans have a very non-linear system of emotions - they greatly overestimate the pain of losing ten pounds versus the pleasure of winning ten pounds.

This is because humans evolved when it made sense to be risk averse - going too close to the sabre toothed tiger might get you a slightly better chance of having a meal, but it also risked a grisly death - thus best to stand off and chuck spears and rocks at the old and decrepit ones.

As a result if someone sees their paper winnings 'ebbing away' they become restless, even when the fundamentals have not changed. They fear losing money more than losing out on the opportunity to make it - as such they bail out telling themselves they are being prudent, when in fact they are guaranteeing that in the long run they are less likely to make a profit.

Once you understand that that it is this psychology that market players are taking advantage of it is somewhat easier to resist falling for the tricks.

Indeed Vanadium **** would be useful to us but to be honest I cannot see Ironveld providing that in the next 2 years - they put their smelter plans on hold after briefly getting all enthusiastic last year and are now telling people that they have an Iron and Steel manufacturer getting lined up for an offtake. This culminated on wednesday this week of a rather obvious Twitter based fake news story, triggering a pump up to 2.1p (+30%) and then a subsequent drop (-10%) the same day when the dump happened.

The twitter 'news' story connecting Ironveld with Arcelor Mittal and the account posting it have since been deleted. Personally I have not seen a clearer example of market abuse, but others may have their own stories to tell.

Larky - I think you are about to see your prediction come true a little earlier than expected

Good to hear from you Pdub - I and I expect everyone else here hopes you're on the mend now.

yep someone is benefiting from these low prices, and I aim to join that group yet again later in the morning

Remember that making money is about 1) buying Low and 2) selling High - doing the first before the second, preferably.

more Buys than sells and yet again the price is walked down. I'm going to have to get some more cash ready I can see

I see that Calder Capital spotted this article and retweeted on twitter earlier in the day - thanks Calder

CG the publication date is today

I have to say I'm not bothered overly about the warrants - sometimes they can hold you back and sometime not - it depends very much on who holds the warrants.
