Daisydog - that is how AIM works ALL the time - the market makers make a rise and sell short into it. What you missed out is that there may also be many people who bought shares for longer than just a short term rise because they are investing on fundamentals. It is these people who the GS shares are being transferred to and who benefit on a greater scale once the GS overhang is fully worked through.

People need to be prepared to understand how the market operates if they wish to invest in it. Well they do if they don't simply want to get ripped off.

the 600K was a restating of 100K + 500K yesterday as a single transaction

Brentw1 - you need to remember that they only turn up when they think they can bash the price down further for their buyback price target. Those of us who have been here for many years have seen it all dozens of times before.

"People have to take responsibility for their own investment decisions. Some of the comments on here for me show some serious flaws in peoples investment ability/strategy. I don't get why people would realise a loss right now, having gone through a very long period of sp decline, when now, after all that time the real excitement is emerging.

Furthermore, V Prices are higher than they have been when they were really low, and hopefully we will see a further increase in V price in the future when steel demand grows + VRFB take up. Nobody should be giving investment advice, but when I look at my paper loss and I consider selling, I have to think to myself about any further downside to the SP. How much further can this really go? We're currently c £125 MC. We have world class deposits, we're a producer and we're growing our production organically (as well as some capex spend to get the most out of the deposits).

My view is that realistically there is very little further the SP can decline. I believe that we're at the bottom (or close) caused by many different reasons which are often discussed. But my belief and research tells me that V prices should continue their upward trend from the lows, BE will start getting orders, production will go up, costs will go down and our investments, IES, Enerox, ATM and Lemur will finally input some value into the SP."

mogwhy - not a direct answer to your question but I can confirm that Sumitomo get their electrolyte from Bolong. I've seen the labels on the sides of their electrolyte containers.

exactly roosters - one needs to see the irrational market as a test to see if you have actually done your research. If not you will get spooked or robbed on a leveraged trade and those that have undertaken that effort will take the spoils.

this morning it seems. Probably 12p was their buy back target.

it's got interdigitated flow fields - nice !

SuperRoty - it is pretty clear to me that those making policy in the US are not suddenly going to fall back in love with China - too much has been said that even a Biden win cannot undo. Quite simply they are now scared about the rising economic power of the east.

How this translates into global trade is of course the interesting thing - hopefully the full on trade wars that Trump was always threatening, but to ****-scared to actually make happen, can be filed in the dustbin of history. This will have little impact on China who will continue to establish their mid-tier industries based upon dominance in critical materials mining.

At some point the penny will drop with US and UK investors and they will start to see that it is safer to invest their money in critical commodities than paper pounds that could be drastically hit by Brexit 'collateral' damage.

SuperRoty - it is perhaps China's response to the banning of Huaweii by the US that is most pertinent here:- https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/International-relations/US-China-tensions/China-readies-new-law-to-ban-companies-on-national-security-grounds

This could well be the sabre rattling ahead of another RE export ban like what they did in 2010.

vauch - I think that they just want to be able to provide proper after sales service and as they don't have enough native english speakers they perhaps feel that they should not take on what they cannot support well.

have increased from 0.05% at the start of the year to 0.09% - I see that Turner Pope are hoping to see 0.158% at the stage IV of the expansion. How the company might achieve this I cannot quite see as the JORC resource lists measured and indicated resources as only 0.139% and 0.136% respectively ( https://polaris.brighterir.com/public/afritin_mining/news/rns/story/w6nq69r )

How much of the recent improvement is due to digging better quality deposits versus optimisation of the processing plant would be very interesting to know. I see that the September operational update mentioned installing an on-site laboratory so that things like head grade might be more immediately monitored - so perhaps there is further optimisation of that yet to come.

I have to say I am disappointed that nobody got my 'panning out' reference.

I will be here all year, try the beef I hear it is excellent.

Brad29 - the spike was caused by speculators in switzerland following the announcement in mid 2017 that China would be introducing new rebar regulations that required the use of Vanadium. It has happened twice before since the year 2000.

It is all explained here - https://www.thebushveldperspective.com/blog/public-articles-1/post/vanitec-2nd-energy-storage-meeting-part-1-206

james - you are of course entitled to your opinion, but it is not one that I share. On the whole I think their communications is what one might expect from a company undergoing huge fundamental growth, run as it is with acknowledged expert dealmakers and not self-publicists.

All the people whining about not getting responses from Chika because they think that she should be at their beck and call clearly do not understand that her priorities should be in courting large institutional investors rather than private individuals who claim to have already invested. Quite frankly I find this kind of complaining rather naive and boring now. Feel free to have your own ideas about how to run a ground-breaking business and then when you have such a business at your feet you can put those theories into practise. I can tell you from experience that it is a good deal harder in the trenches than it is in the armchairs.
