44.68 / 44.90 now - prices paid for shares inevitably ticking up

44.65p to Sell now, not that I am.

bob - it is automatically in auction 5 times a day - at 8:00am, 9am, 11am, 2pm and 4:30pm. That's how SETSqx works.

jogj99 - we'll see if something else pops up later, and closer to 4pm Monday

Northbank - the real trading levels move about inside the advertised Bid-Ask bands so the colouring is purely rough guidance. Some would say it is misleading. To really understand what is going on you need to get stuck into the trade analysis. Like I am doing right now.

jogj99 - the problem with that interpretation is that the SP rose to 41.70p at 16:00 whilst this trade apparently took place around 25 minutes later at 40.795p. This might lead one to conclude that it was a sell. Then there is the other issue of the 817,323 trade at 41.485p around the same time, which is the exact same size as the after hours TNCP trade at 41.489p - all very complicated.

We might assume that the two trades of 817,323 cancel on another out and so can perhaps be ignored but perhaps not so for the 1.1M trade, which looks like a sell - but then that leaves the question as to what caused the strong rise at 4pm. My money is another trade, a big buy, yet to be disclosed.

Inner-Harmony - welcome - it seems that you are unaware that every day for the last three months I have undertaken a trade by trade analysis of BMN shares trading:- https://www.thebushveldperspective.com/blog/public-trade-analysis-6

As one doesn't wish to bore people with too many details of the verisimilitudes of the daily market I make a point of enquiring if anyone would like this or not. The balance of interest currently appears to somewhat favour the positive.

If you are not interested in the ebbs and flows of daily trading then perhaps the cumulative results of these analyses, which currently show the Market Makers as requiring 14 Million shares to close their short position may be interesting:- https://www.thebushveldperspective.com/is-first-island-next

If this too is not of a sufficiently fundamental bent then you might wish to have a look at the marvellous series of articles by BBN which summarise exactly how Bushveld Energy will corner the large scale energy storage market in South and Southern Africa:-

the analysis is ?

Most Vanadium is produced as a by-product of the Vanadium rich sl-a-g in steel processing ( http://vanitec.org/vanadium/making-vanadium is an excellent article ). The Vanadium primarily comes about as a result of processing titaniferous magnetite ores - these are typically at the less economic, and dirtier end of the spectrum, and as Terry Perles has pointed out: "9 Steel mills in china generate 70% of the world’s Vanadium but only 5% of the steel – and these will be the most marginal steel producers." ( https://www.thebushveldperspective.com/blog/public-articles-1/post/vanitec-3rd-energy-storage-meeting-part-1-175 )

If you can get a list of the steel plants that are going to close perhaps we can figure out what the overlap between your 11 and Terry's 9 is.

Hey chartist why don't you advertise the fact.

If you are concerned about the main markets then perhaps you should sell whatever you have there and instead invest it in stock with strong underlying fundamentals and the best researched investor base on AIM.

JohnHenry - yes - 14M short - see here:- https://www.thebushveldperspective.com/is-first-island-next

faramog - I trust that you are not accusing me of that

What about any of the other Spreadbetting platforms ?

zeusfuria - that's interesting, it's as if they do';t want you to buy.

I wonder why that could be.

is currently 42.7p so I don't know what CFEP are doing advertising that as the Bid

at present - keeps going to NT

Raz10 - whats the URL for that I can't see anything there at present

A mid morning RNS ?

Bagsandbags - thanks for your observation regarding Spreadex.

Why would a spread betting platform not wish to accept a Buy order - "perhaps if they were selling down someone's position and couldn't be sure how many they would be able to end up selling at the end of the day" doesn't seem right - after all they exist to buy and sell inside their own walled garden and then only have to hedge the overspill from that garden in the real market.

Pdub - thanks for recording all those dummy sells - I've checked them against the chart that I produced and I think the only trade that might potentially need to be reallocated is the 10K trade at 15:39 (40.8p) which I had as a sell and which might be a buy by your figures. Only a small trade though so no significant impact, but thanks anyway.
