Haha - "Buried nut to be dug up in a couple of years" .. is that you or the shares !?

Would the recent pressure on the share price possibly be associated with the cureent sell off in US tech stocks - ie a more general pressure rather than stock specific?

Does anyone have a forward p/e for Bango?

The prospects for them still appear to remain excellent to justify the raised expectations I feel. I believe broker targets had fairly recently been increased to around the 250p mark.

Yes, seems like our initial hopes of share price take off from the get go of the US launch were a bit misplaced.

In the absence of any unforseen positive news looks like this will have to be put on the back-burner for a bit while we trust management to get on with developing the irons that we have in the various fires.

That's got to be converted warrants being sold off no?

Thank you very much rebess for taking the time to explain your comments and set out your thoughts on Centamin.

I'm a newbie to this board and stock too in terms of looking at it a bit more closely now but have observed from afar for many moons and always intrigued by the roller coaster ride and market reaction to the various situations they live through.

For me the trust issue pretty much sums up why I've not got closer to it or indeed become an investor but I'm in a position to do so now attracted by the volatility in some ways, certainly at the accumulation stage, and the dividend which is quite important to me where I'm at, as well as a future macro outlook of a terminally(?) declining dollar, with increasing questions about it's right to being the default world currency/US debt and the resulting effect that would have on the gold price which many view is due a bit of an amazing run considering its multi year consolidation.

This is balanced against some doubts about the security of the geographical location and 'wonder' at their balance sheet position and how with all that has occured over the years they have managed to achieve and sustain that.

I appreciate I may need education on my views but I am currently wondering if it might be considered a good time to purchase/start building a position not least regarding the pull back in share price from over a £2.00 peak to relatively low historical levels.

Difficult to see any buys today Productioncoates let alone decent ones. Just a shed and a half of sells.

You sure you're on the right chat page?

Quite a dull response though to continuing excellent results. People have taken the chance to get out rather than buy in.

Was the market looking for more? How did results compare to forecasts I wonder?

Haha - the Vod boat just going up and down with the market tide.

Quite who or what will spark the boat's engine into action is frankly difficult to say at the mo I'm afraid.

Hope the debt in the hold won't have us becalmed forever.....

Some fairly healthy trades going through this morning though. Hopefully they know something we don't.

Could really do with some insight/update as to what is going on the commercial side for Kromek. It just doesn't come across like they are set up well to drive through on the potential that they have which leaves themselves open to others. I am unsure as to the size of the 'moat' their products affords them.

For me this is a very frustrating share to hold. Lots of build ups but no sign of follow through which leads to doubts as to their ability to do so.

Thank you Troajan.

Bit of a window onto the various shenanigans that have to be got through in the US before we can really get evidence of significant progress there.

And encouraging to hear that our CEO Greg Madison is having discussions with Norgine on European sales.

It will be interesting to see what impact GM will have on the STX operation as we progress. It's good that we are in a position to benefit from a new CEO as he will want to make his own mark on the company and in our case is very timely for a review of the operation and expectations.

Yh, saw that. Interesting and encouraging. Interesting because it makes you wonder what has spurred the buy now.

Is there any scheduled information or news point that we are looking forward to at the moment now that we have been advised that we will need to be patient for any further US status?

For info and for what it's worth spotted a brief MF article/recommendation dated yesterday (24th) for STX on the MF site.

Nothing new mentioned but MF circulation quite large so will help in spreading the word ....

Would be very interested to know if we still have some old-timers with us on the BB or those with knowledge of RMM's past endeavours/status in bygone years.

Reason is I'm very much a newbie here only building a position over the last three months or so having pretty much now maxed out with my average around the 30p level. With todays flush of optimism I have been looking at where the company's share price has wandered in the past and having consulted London Stock Exchange information (the other LSE!), if I'm reading this correctly, observed that since floatation RMM's maximum adjusted share price reached a rather dizzying nose bleed level of £72!! (2 May 2007)

Would be happy to have this confirmed or corrected accordingly but any which way this looks like a completely different planet to where we are now and my questions are ....
What was the status of the operation and/or the context of the market in which RMM were operating then to be priced so incredibly differently and...
What would it take to restore RMM to that place and if that is a practical reality for any time in the future.

Thanks again Spero for your link that was very helpful and informative.

I know there will always be risks known and unknown (a la Rumsfeld) and they acknowledge areas they are looking to improve but I continue to feel that communication with us and value of us as shareholders is improving and they have definite and positive objectives that are measurable and relatively near future and most important we have a most valuable asset in proven (multi sited) copper reserves which are actually being extracted rather than planned for many months and years ahead.

Our leap of faith is to trust the expertise of management to best and speedily de-risk the operation as much as is possible as well as bring us to a profitable position at the earliest time. Something that both management and shareholders are obviously invested in.

Progress is still being made and we are much closer to exciting times than we were earlier this year.

I have one top up left so from my perspective I'm looking to take further advantage of the short term price volatility which all being well will just have been noise when the share price starts to lift off in the not too distant future. I will be very interested to see what the price action will be next week.

Not such a catchy strapline :o
Maybe it works better the other side of the pond..

Apologies redwineday. Just read your post again and your comnents may of course been referring to finnCap's analysis (which I've not seen) rather than just mentioning their target.
As you will have gathered my comments relate to today's RNS....

I'm just assuming that UK is included in the general comments for Europe redwineday. Having said that I would have hoped for a separate comment for UK being STX's base and of particular interest to most shareholders but maybe the results are just not worth advertising!
The results emphasise the fact that revenues/profits are just going to be lumpy with initial agreement payments against costs for the time being until we're at the stage where royalties will start to flow more regularly and in this context further leans too on the importance of the results of the US market to provide regularity of income which will hopefully be significant in a shorter period of time.
Otherwise it's just a matter of different sized carrots on a variety of different lengthed sticks to keep the punters engaged!
Interesting to me to see that in Europe Norgine 'continues to focus on driving commercial adoption' of Feraccru rather than sales! One would hope that they would be being 'encouraged' to think and chew gum at the same time.
And China/Far East is a potentially huge carrot but on a very frustratingly long stick.

.... current share price increase that is

And not a little with a dividend being paid next week!

Hi dustofnations. Agree with you that it's very pleasing to see further geographical diversification of markets for STX but not sure about your comment that you 'suspect that a buyer knew about this deal before the market did' as from what I saw the STX share price was actually off 2p yesterday for whatever reason and there was nothing but selling into the close. Would be interested to know what the 'suspicious large purchases' were that you saw ahead of the news.
