Member Info for Bancal

Well worth a listen.

I'll go for Tuesday 16th December

I hope your user name doesn't reflect your behaviour.

Mine came from items on my desk - first three letters of a bank card and a set of engineer's calipers.

This is what CoPilot did with your Ballad when I asked it to create a Haiku from it. :)

John hits “Post” again—

Shaun drops news, the shorts go pale.

Forum grabs popcorn.

By who?

Really? Any evidence for that or is it simply if the share price drops it must be shorters in cahoots with market makers?

Wiltshireman - that might be the case given the obsession here with spivs, mm's and shorters and a mysterious group called "They" that are determined to keep the price down until their mates are onboard.

Element1 how do you get that level of information? How can you tell that the 2x40,000 sells are by a short seller? I wasn't aware that you could obtain information on short selling at the trade level.

Primary Reasons for Shorting

Speculation: To profit from a perceived overvaluation of a stock or the market as a whole.

Hedging: To protect a portfolio or long position from potential downturns, acting as a form of insurance against losses.

Risk Management: To diversify a portfolio and manage overall risk by betting on or protecting against market declines.

What?

Citi is forecasting $3500 over the next 3 months - roughly 5400 AUD.

If only we had moderators.....

This is what decent moderation looks like (from the CEO.CA site)

My experience with unmoderated forums like this one is that most conversations descend into juvenile insults and banal comments very, very quickly. There are very some good knowledgeable posters on this forum and it isn't difficult to spot them. Filter the children and don't engage because you will never win an argument with them and they just drag you down to their level.

Poppy I have no idea what you are saying - it just doesn't make sense. Copilot produced this out of your semi-literate jumble - maybe try ChatGPT or Copilot next time you have need to share your thoughts?

From my entire family and me—thank you.

Your dedication, honesty, and unwavering commitment to doing what’s right have not gone unnoticed. You stood for integrity in a world that sometimes forgets its value. Through thoughtful decision-making and a genuine respect for others, you’ve helped protect the spirit of fairness and decency that society so deeply needs.

We recognize the challenges you’ve faced and the sacrifices you’ve made to bring truth and reason to difficult spaces. We also know that not everyone sees the hard work, the late nights, or the moral conviction driving it all. But we do.

Thank you again, not only for what you’ve done, but for how you’ve done it. We are grateful beyond words.

But if you if live in the UK and transfer your shares to the ASX aren't you still subject to currency fluctuations if you want to sell or buy shares?

Higher sp or higher market cap?

PJ70 how do you know the price is being artificially held by MMs?? Do you "know" or do you "think" that this is happening? What solid evidence do you have to back up your opinion?

Well said Paddy. My problem with this forum is the lack of effective moderation that allows the drivel and bickering that we see here daily.
