The main thing is that Itaconix have good raw material stocks, hopefully enough to see them through this crisis.

I don't see this lasting more than a couple of weeks because -

1. Political pressure is building on Trump.

2. The courts will be asked to judge if he can impose tariffs without approval of Congress - the act he has used as an excuse doesn't look valid, re Fentanyl.

3. China hasn't used its biggest weapon yet - to sell US Treasury Bonds - its the second biggest holder after the US Treasury.

I certainly don't see the need for any more cash - its going up year by year anyway.

Remember, this is service based industry, investment is in people.

The acquisitions add experienced staff, who are already generating profits from day one.

Success also comes much quicker in this type of business than manufacturing and retail for example.

Investors are back after disgraced President Donald Trump caved in over tariffs.

His next mission is to destroy the climate by increasing US coal production.

Hopefully we will get a good rebound here now.

I guess some investors are selling MKS in favour of bargains elsewhere after disgraced President Donald Trump caved in over tariffs.

I think we are getting to the stage where the Republicans will turn on trump - impeachment will come.

Meanwhile this quote is very apt.

We could get an unexpected boost to the share price.

The RNS talks about different levels of interest for the company but no prospect of achieving a decent selling price because the SP doesn't reflect true value.

So, the buyers showing an interest would have done their research, but were ultimately disappointed that they couldn't do a deal.

They have an option now to become shareholders, maybe one or more will become a major shareholder, so we could see a boost to the SP.

You never know with AIM - it defies logic.

This was the cash position at the end of January 2025.

"Cash position at 31 December 2024 was $1.9m (2023: $4.3m), supporting the current organic business growth plan. The Company's growth is further supported by a $10m revolving line of credit, of which $4m is undrawn."

So, I guess no need to raise cash.

Interesting development - it seems Fox have dumped Trump.

Yes, that just underlines the serious problem that all companies are facing.

This is the ultimate Black Swan event with no obvious conclusion.

What if you could predict with 100% certainty a stock market crash.

What if you could share this information with just a few wealthy associates - hedge fund managers for example.

What if you were in charge of global economic policy.

What if you were a convicted felon.

What if you were President of the USA.

Anything ITX says in an RNS may be out of date by the time is published, that's the problem - this is the ultimate Black Swan event with no obvious conclusion.

I am coming to the conclusion that market recovery is dependent on someone shooting the O...... ...d

Thank you Smart.

At least John has done the groundwork for it, if it becomes necessary.

There was some discussion about Itaconix opening a factory in Europe - did this come to anything?

Maybe buying an existing factory in Europe and converting it could be the answer with the direct import of raw materials from China, the capital spend could be quite low.

We are seeing a general reduction in the SP for all companies that trade in or trade with the US, so today's fall is no surprise.

The following has unfortunately got to be noted by all -

On June 17th 1930 the Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act introduced US global tariffs.

The subsequent response by other countries around the world was one of the main reasons for the Great Depression.

Yes, looks OK for M&S BUT take note.

Trumps tariffs will cause a recession - no benefit to anyone.

The backlash is building against Trump and we have to factor in a big recovery in the market when he is impeached - its only a matter of time.

Probably to late for the 1.2 million children that are expected to die of infections diseases after the ending of the US global vaccine program.
