Found this looking for how close the largest diamond mine in the world is from Lesedi and at the same depth we are drilling!

Fixed price commission £5.95 , twice my IG UK frequent trader trader rate ( 3 x £8 trades in a month , gives frequent trader rate of £3 for every trade during the following month at IG. IG deal with foreign exchanges at various commission rates, frequent trader rate is just for LSE.
N.B. Frequent trader rate for trade number 4+ in a month IS NOT APPLIED unless you already receive it.

My re-entry for the long term using my dividend of £93.93 shows Jarvis at its best!

Happy birthday Ripley.
I just entered a dummy buy on my fixed quote broker and got this so your 5.2p was ok.
Some brokers e.g. Jarvis/X-O , will often better your limit price and others mysteriously always pay your limit price.

I'm hoping TG is going to buy me a Hydrogen ICE powered motorbike while I am still able to get my leg over one, and it looks good that the major japanese manufacturers have formed a hydrogen alliance for electric bikes.

TG approach maybe, batteries now , engines at some time in the future? Motogp with the Japanese competing against each other could be a new class that Ducati and BMW might want to join. I wonder if they have wifi in the after-life?

Whilst there is concern about the WBI ramp from the other day, this links supports the giste!

It is no wonder Hydrogen is being treated seriously by TLOU.

Funnily enough, I have to learn all the tricks of the trade now my housekeeper has moved on.
I nearly posted a tip on how to remove limescale last week, and thought better of it!

Instead of squirting Viakal or other product around the bowl, and watching it disappear into the water, ready to do a u-turn round the u-bend having left the limescale intact!!! ...... I discovered that squirting Viakal straight onto the toilet brush uses much less product and the brush and limescale remover get to work immediately!
Not only that but it froths up and sticks to the limescale better than from the bottle or sprayer!

It also works well under the rim as well! I expect you know about rimming Buckler. Aren't you glad you raised this issue?

Winni, the soil is going to play a big part in the UK and Botswana.
From a description by TG years ago, if my memory serves me well, the surrounding area was easy to negotiate in terms of roads, rivers and other hurdles. And I think much of it is desert! Dry sand is probably too insecure to support our poles and concrete seems likely imho to keep them erect. The poles already have wood with any luck. Buckler might have seen the video it seems.

I don't think it matters tbh - they have quoted 15 months and whether that involves 1 stage or up to 20 stages - 15 months is what our contractors have estimated.

.

BC100 , I became interested in this share because of the so-called fake news.
That post started by saying WBI could multi-bag at 2,000 x the prevailing price of 6 or 7p long term, but then tipped it to bag x 16 or x 14 in the short/middle term to £1 - a price what would make this a happy board I suspect? And that cast a little doubt about it being a ramp in my head.

Whether the 3 previous tips were fact or fiction is a guess, but probably more likely to be rubbish, but there is a sense of reality in his WBI forecast! Enough to convince me that this share has some potential and that my primary stock could benefit from carbon credits in the same way that Tesla may have?

I saw this , and it suggests an element of truth regarding carbon credits.

"How much is a carbon credit worth?
According to their estimates, the current weighted carbon price is $34.99 (as of June 2021), which is up from around $20 near the end of 2020. Before December of 2020, the IHS Markit Global Carbon Index calculation of carbon credit cost had not risen above $22.15."

It might be a joke article - but many a true word is spoken in jest!

Whizzer and Moagi are my filter list - I don't know which witch is responding so don't expect a response.

On topic, I find it hard to imagine that our poles and wires on a multi-million pound project won't have more than one machine to drill holes and place poles into them. They ought to have a cherry-picker or two to help the engineers install the wires and that might be able to lift poles into place perhaps? I'm sure they do!

"ZISMO Engineering was established in May 2001 as an Electrical Engineering Contracting, Automation and Service/ Refurbishment Company. The Company operates throughout Botswana and Zambia and is well equipped with a comprehensive range of electrical and mechanical equipment such as crane trucks, rigging gear, overhead line plant, building services installation equipment complete with testing systems. The Company also has a state of the art Transformer and Motors Workshops"

Appi , what does our Heads of Agreement deal to provide Synergen with our flared gas mean?

We cannot have our cake and eat it!

And we don’t know if the Crypto talks have been discontinued? Both need the current gas flares!

Both are still on the go to my knowledge.
Both post date funding of wires and who knows whether that funding can be switched?

TG is sensible to keep mum on the unknown bits because he will be criticised for not going with every possible option despite them being mutually exclusive!

"13 April 2022

Avanti’s financial debt has been reduced from $810 million to $260 million. This significantly strengthens Avanti’s financial position moving ahead as we continue to build our business and strive to meet our customers’ needs.

Funds (or subsidiaries of such funds) and/or accounts managed, advised or controlled by HPS Investment Partners LLC or affiliates/subsidiaries thereof ($80 billion leading global investment firm) and Solus Alternative Asset Management LP (leading US registered investment advisor specialising in corporate recapitalisations) will become the principal shareholders.

Avanti will continue business as usual, but with a stronger balance sheet. There will be no change to the Avanti team or Avanti’s business activities, assets, and technical capabilities."

The share price has been 12p ever since they moved from LSE to Jenkins guide price. They pre-date TLOU and I paid £7 a share before their first satellites perfect launch into space! Predicted to jump to £9 overnight on the way to £23 per share , they mysteriously dropped to £3.50 and more perfect satellites dropped it even further!!

Fingers crossed they can go into profit before the satellites reach end of life! I guess the spacial position is still valuable but launches using Ariane for expensive satellites seemed too high! But who knows?

Just discovered I received a small dividend in April.
Used it to buy a few here for the long-term, and might top up with future dividends.
Here's hoping that money does grow on trees!

I don't recall anyone giving a reason why we are not
1. Waiting to see if Synergen Met can provide Carbon solids instead of Sodium Cyanide i.e. Green Hydrogen during 2022
(a) If so , the flared gas at #3 and #4 is unavailable to deliver power to Serowe, until Hydrogen trial is complete.
New wells need to be started from scratch or can they expand #3 and #4 and #5 whilst using them for Hydrogen?
(b) If not, we can extend #3 and #4 and #5 to boost output for Serowe in 2023

2. Poles and wires earliest ETA in Q1/Q2 2023
If 1a is the outcome then we do not need them !
If 1b then we do!!!!

3. Was it an easy decision to commit to poles and wires?????

Last bit on trading.
ASX and LSE work differently when declaring the closing price.

LSE , as you all know,use the mid-point of the spread.
ASX declare it as the price of the final trade of the day, irrespective of it being a buy or a sell.

I have manipulated the price on ASX to prove the point.
Ironically, I once tried to improve the price and achieved the price I wanted!
Unfortunately someone else had raised it above my level before I knew, so I dropped the price instead!

Another thing I learned from ASX was when I could not trade at the top of the spread!
I wasted ages trying and the trades were rejected every time!

I phoned the IG dealing room , and they said try this price!
It was 10% above the top of the true spread (I was being shown an incorrect online spread)
It was accepted and I could then offer 10% above that figure and cancel the lower bid!

The lower the price the smaller the 10% .
So if the spread is 2p to 2.2p their tolerance becomes 1.8p to 2.42p and 2.5p will be rejected even if you are happy to pay that! Enter 2.4p and 2.64p becomes possible!

The policy saved my bacon once!!! ASX is priced in AUD! I wanted to buy at 5c and entered 5 instead of 0.05

Getting 1% of my expected shares would have been awful!!! So it is not at all bad!
But it does stifle price changes on a share with very few or no trades per day.
On a busy share the 10% factor is challenged so often it is unlikely to surface.

You're right buckler. Their next venture will be at 10% of their salaries so they'll need several businesses to reach 25% and 50% of their TLOU salary which they are taking with no possibility of back-pay being paid! How many drinks did you have to come up with that drivel?

Moagi , Whizzer and Buckler may be individuals but they look like conjoined triplets!!!! A third of a brain each!

Filter them! And newbies don't pay attention to anything they have to offer. BOGOF offerings.

Our chairman paid tens of millions for his 25% salary ....... he needs TLOU to succeed to get it back!
And he will!!! It is a just a matter of time! And whether it is Hydrogen or CBM power as the starter.
Less than 15 months for the former and 15 months+ for the latter or BOTH!

Hope you have sobered up Buckler!

I forgot to mention the difference between LSE and ASX!

On ASX partial fills are released as individual trades so small trades are more abundant there.
ON LSE the daily total prevails so only completed trades are released i.e. at end of day or when you cancel unfilled orders.

When you buy or sell shares on a limit bid you specify 3 things.

The volume, the limit price and the duration of your order!

If you do not specify the duration as ONE DAY (the usual default from my experience - I rarely use limit bids preferring the Quote system in London but it is unavailable on ASX).

You will pay commission on each day they find a partial fill, so if you pitch the price at the extremes they might struggle to fill your order completely!
If there is only 1 share on the book within your limit price range they will take it ! If you then cancel the order you will get than share at the commission rate.
If there any shares remain on your order , they will try to fill it within yor date limit, charging commission on each successful day.

Some folk think it is a message system to announce sentiment to others but I don't believe that.

I cannot no longer log into my the-financialnews.com account so I think it may now be dead?

I think I may have found why the-financialnews.com stopped updating during 2021.

The name Carl Smith and website http://www.ukrnames.com , look to be from London but is based in Ukraine!
I hope he is ok!

The website seems to be running in his absence but how I have not a clue!
I posted on the site yesterday and can find no trace of a URL far less the message itself.

Sure is buckler - virtually all our shareholders are holding :O)
