Inkyboy02 - yep I figured so - can you drop me a line to just check something else. cheers

Inkboy02 - can you check your buy price.

Fastmoney - to allow me to run the analysis for the day could you let me know which were your buys today - you can do it privately to editorial@ thebushveldperspective . com

Good find nick - yep the timing was just slightly out this time or we would have made it in. As you say there should be little doubt about being in the AIM100 index before christmas, just in time for a bit of a santa rally as people buy their children BMN shares for christmas. Buzz lightyear toys and playstations are so last year - "BMN, not just for christmas but for life".

CG - of course that is around the time that the SP really started moving so it would seem somewhat of a coincidence if they were not related - apart from that I can't say much.

An offer of 16,500 appeared at 22.4p but was not taken up despite 3 market makers bidding to buy at 22.5p.

I believe that this is a continuation of offer 'T' which was at 24.0p on Monday but which has again been underpriced to try and produce a misleading drop in closing price.

This offer size of 16,500 ('T') first appeared at 24.3p in the 8am auction last wednesday. I believe that it came from the accumulation of two other offers, one of 16,000 ('E') and 500 ('G') which were both at 25.0p until the end of day auction last Tuesday and then which then never reappeared.

Thus I believe that E+G -> T and that T has been underpriced yet again to try and mislead the market. It seems that neither the Market Makers nor anyone else wished to entertain the potential 0.1p profit on 16,500 shares - i.e. 165 quid and the attempt failed.

No doubt there will be some people who are curious to see that analysis of trades for today. Any disclosures that people can make would obviously be very helpful.

Cheers, Alfa

Today's SP movement, like those at the end of the Erongo selldown ( https://www.thebushveldperspective.com/slides/slide/bushveld-minerals-in-a-minute-50 ) speak for themselves.

There has clearly been a significant volume of shorts being closed or shareholders buying back in this morning following the 8am publication of the article detailing evidence for manipulation of the LSE share auctions :-

Thanks as always goes to all the other contributors of this board and the Bushveld Perspective - this is a community effort and we shall win bigger by working together as a community not by simply looking out for individual short term financial gain.

Macbev - this is of course the reason to invest only companies that have outstanding fundamentals like BMN and have been rigorously researched by PI's here and on the Bushveld Perspective.

biganuf - alas when there is easy money to be made there are apparently plenty of ways to get around those reporting requirements

raffym - for your information the following have been banned since the bank holiday weekend of the 25-27th August:-

Capablanca64

raffym - I think you ahem mean trolls not rampers.

The answer Macbev is not that the company is any better than it was a week ago.

It is quite possibly due to the fact that the little game that has been played out here since the last RNS has been revealed, and those that may have sold looking to buy back cheaper have now concluded that they better do this now, rather than pay more later.

someones 300K offer of shares at 21p may be taken up soon

Dav3J - if you read the article you will see that I state quite clearly that the FCA have access to complete knowledge of the origin of every MM and DMA trade.

Leafie, indeed that is how it should work - people selling shares should WANT to get more money for them by going to all the trouble of using DMA than simply phoning up a standard Market Maker and taking what they are given.

This is the example that proves the case that there was something wrong when people selling were deliberately choosing to take less for their shares than they could get from any of the 5 market makers.

YTSS - no I don't think that has ever been suggested - if there are sells offered then one would assume that there would have to be shares either borrowed or owned to be able to sell. I don't think that DMA can provide a simple mechanism for naked short selling, and if it did then of course that would be illegal also.

Endion,
