Charlie, do you understand BMN's fundamentals or do you buy and sell shares based on sentiment? If it's the latter, investing is probably not for you. Even the ultra-conservative broker forecasts have BMN rated at £1.30+ if V prices stay steady.

If I was you, I'd do more research. In which case you won't be asking the question you just did.

Thanks Nick, maybe when the strike's over the workers will be put on double-shifts to prevent a knock-on effect and make up for lost hours.

Nobody's discussed what effect these strikes are likely to have on BMN's customers. Will they go elsewhere to get their fix? This must be pretty irritating for them. If BMN is losing money, so are its customers.

This might calm a few nerves: http://theconversation.com/south-africas-strike-rate-isnt-as-bad-as-its-made-out-to-be-95470

The strike owes us another 35%. Hope we get it next week, along with some more Sojitz-related spikes 🤞

BMN's positives have nothing to do with the broker forecasts. Besides, I thought you had filtered me? Perhaps you should stop undermining your own credibility.

On the assumption that there will be a nuclear war, I am revising my price target for Apple to 0.01p.

It's very hard to be impressed with SP Angel. The role of an investment analyst is to provide in-depth research and information to help traders, fund managers and brokers make decisions about investments, yet I fail to see what role in-depth research has played in SP Angel's analyses.

"If vanadium prices" blah blah blah. It's as if they only bother looking at historical pricing rather than researching the demand and future catalysts for growth. If V prices could plummet on a whim equally quickly as rise, I doubt BMN would bother. But they do bother, and SP Angel should bother to do more research.

I highly doubt management was firing rubber bullets, that would be f'ing insane. This is surely a law enforcement issue.

Bloody strike, still have to go up another 20% just to be where we were at one month ago. Imagine SP now otherwise - Corbine Cup smashed, probably hitting Atlas target.

Resolution of strike soon hopefully, with a fair deal for all. With a share scheme in place, employees will be trashing the value of their own investment if they try it on again.

No worries, I don't hold a grudge. Thanks for the comment.

Well there you have it. Full transparency, exactly what I demanded. My rattle can be thrown in the bin. Faith in the company 100% restored, cementing my investment decision and giving me full confidence in BMN's governance going forward.

Don't believe I'm being paranoid, but will take your opinions on board.

@Endion

"Have faith or sell"
"Do not seek to depress the share"

What do you call that?

Knuttie, I'm not sceptical of the BMN board and if I was pessimistic I'd have sold. I haven't sold one share, only added. Am I rattled by this industrial action? Slighty.

I just want full transparency, others don't - fine. What I don't appreciate is effectively being called a shorter or told to shutup or sell up for expressing my views.

Anyway, I know how this board works. Certain people want to control and manipulate every written word. If you go against that, it becomes personalised, then they try and draw you into arguments to get you reported and eventually banned.

With that in mind, I think I've said enough for today.

What's wrong with being rattled?

@knutsfordnotary

Trust can be lost as easily as it's gained. In the meantime, I'll sell or buy when I see fit thanks. Stop trying to control the flow of information, it's not your board to do so. I'm a shareholder that wants clarity regarding strike action in a country that is politically unstable and moderately uninvestable for some.

Mine is a perfectly healthy and normal attitude for an investor to adopt. What's abnormal is attempting to control every aspect of this board and demean or silence genuine holders that seek answers to perfectly acceptable questions.

Ultimately, the SP will live and die by the company's profits, potential, words and actions, not anything written on here by you or I, so what are you afraid of?

No offence Gambit, your post was somewhat reassuring but unverifiable. Would rather hear from the company not just that workers are back working, but what the underlying issues are and how a solution has been found.

I find it remarkable that so few seem bothered.

Bad news is not behind us. There is an unresolved strike in operation, who knows how long it will go on for or whether it will reoccur in the future? Holders can bury their heads in the sand, the markets won't.

I'm keen for more transparency and a lasting resolution to this matter, as it's one of the few obstacles I see to long-term prosperity.

Aisee, BMN also stated the previous dispute was resolved. Clearly not, so why would you take their word for it now? That's why I'm calling for further transparency.

Are you suggesting we don't debate things openly? If newbies are put off, it can only be because they have read the discussion at the most superficial level and not bothered to research BMN's fundamentals. These are the investors most open to manipulation by MMs.
