Thanks Alfa. I imagine BE will be able to produce to a customers spec. if they batch produce.

Suppress your feelings Nog, you already pulled the trigger too early three times. But good luck to you!

Yes Alfa, Is there a standard for electrolyte yet? and, If BE is producing it, are they making it under licence, or can any one make it, ie no patent breaches.

Thanks.

Not worried about the fine and I don't think the market does either. This would re-rate quickly to £3 or £4 if it was not held back by shorters, or as soon as the case is settled irrespective of outcome. It is when?

Yeah, I considered it. SFO can alway end with "it happened on your watch", so guilty of at least poor standards. I will be surprised if Pfc get away scott free. This could drag on for years, but miles's last point stuck a cord and that puts an end to it quickly.

@miles. I might be wrong, but didn't the SFO try to get Petrofac to sign one already, but they refused?

You said enough Mouse. I'll put you in as clueless. Over and out.

Geordie, say what you like. Your attitude annoyed me and I was stupid enough to engage. Thanks. Over and out.

RS - Spot on. The carp I've read in the last few days, I wonder if people really understand what they invest in, and even if some should be allowed to invest!

I do not think that the shares are being held back. Its normal after a run it has just been on. Consolidation. Letting the traders like you off, before the next leg to 25p - 31p in a couple of months? Potentially 50% is 2-3 months is good. Good risk. As I said, not fast enough? You should have said nothing.

why do you have to bad mouth it or be little the company on your way out?

Yes please toddle on. I am finding it hard to resist the temptation to patronise you.

Another casino member. Bet he did not even know what he invested in! Cant get rich quick enough here.

Surely yes, if you assume what your are seeing is correct.

Also No, Local costs are in Rand. It will strengthen. Small worry as probably offset in commodity prices as Vic said.

Me neither, but it would not surprise me.

Read on here recently, Blackrock stated their target for Petrofac was 81p. Is this true? They sometimes give reasons for taking their position, so am interested. Anyone?

Blackrock is on the hill looking down on the battlefield below him. The Blues are fighting strongly, but with limited reserves and uncertainty showing on some of their faces. The reinforced first wave of the Reds is holding back the counter attack, but its hard and some also looking to the Rock. “Is this not enough”. “No! Capital Boys“, cries Blackrock from the hill. “105p I told you!”

Ben, below with the Blue Reserves, banded with the mercenaries, whispered to himself, “Come down, I’m waiting!”

Business News for Wednesday 21st of January 2026.

Bushfield Minerals today announced its plan to launch a new division to its business called Bushfield Steel. The plan is to build a modern steel processing plant, initially suppling 500,000T of high grade steel and 5000T of Vanadium as a side product. The plant will employ 350 local people and add a much needed source of vanadium to its sister division, Bushfield Energy, the world largest supplier of vanadium into the VRFB sector, which has seen incredible demand for its Electric-Light © lease scheme in recent years. The deal has the backing of the World Triad Bank and remarkably, Eon Muck, looking to secure a source of steel for his ‘Tunnel under America Project’. Fortune Cookie Goodfellow is to make a statement later today, but did say “This clearly demonstrates Bushfields determination to take over the world, element by element. We plan on launching Bushfield Titanium soon, but I can’t talk about that now. Don’t worry we will still be paying our maiden dividend to our shareholders in October as promised”. Shares were up 6.9% in early morning trading, reaching new highs of the year, before falling back slightly. A few shareholders related their disappointment at not getting the 2000% rise they had been expecting. “It’s not fair, MM games! The FCA should look at this, we never get the Mcap we deserve!”. “They never give us recognition for being a Humanitarian Stock either!” said another.
Stockpickers Ramp & Alders rate this stock as; ‘Put your mortgage on it’. No investment advice intended.

In other news. The ‘Banana Powered’ fraudster and embezzler was captured in Spain, last night, after being on the run for the last three years. Police say he resisted arrest and then attempted to bribe them. Largio, the main investor, is yet to recover any money from the scheme.

Just keep it legal. You get a £4M consultancy fee, keep half and do it again! PS Charge all expenses.

So up or down tomorrow. You've got all the angles covered!

Re: share price -Warren Buffett describes it as "In the short-run, the stock market is a voting machine. Yet, in the long-run, it is a weighing machine."

I also like these by him :-" Price is what you pay. Value is what you get."

"You are neither right nor wrong because the crowd disagrees with you. You are right because your data and reasoning are right."

“Games are won by players who focus on the playing field –- not by those whose eyes are glued to the scoreboard.”

And, "sometimes you just have to be a lucky B...... like me!"

No he never said the last one, but its true! lol. Cheer up everyone!

@ bassguy. You really are frustrated today! I'll answer part one - You have to start somewhere. No solid demand out there at this moment in time, except perhaps a small tender pending. I'm sure they have planned for expansion and have left room for it! It is easier to expand this side of the business than increasing the vanadium supply. Part two. We do not know the details of the contract, so best not to presume the first thing that comes into your head. GL!
