"Based on recent statements, the National Police have now completed the pre-trial investigation and the case has now been sent to a court of the first instance and is awaiting the first hearing date and case details. Based on information received so far and with advice from Ukrainian legal counsel, FPM is of the view that these accusations are without merit."

Doesn't mean a damn thing what FPM thinks. Let's see what the most corrupt judiciary in Europe thinks....

An impending supply crunch, driven by falling production and grade, remains a major concern, regardless of potential economic slowdowns, including in China.

Suppressed prices.....I loaded another 5200 shares....

This is just my personal, uninformed, and biased opinion, but I believe we'll see the price drop below 4p again. However, over the next couple of months, I expect it to hover around 5p+, with plenty of significant positive announcements on the way.

2nd short position opened on the 8th.....do they know something we don't or just betting on silver price going down?

In the words of my 6th wife - no money, no honey....

War ain't ending any time soon folks.....

US president-elect Donald Trump has pushed back his campaign pledge to end the war in Ukraine in “24 hours” to several months, in a shift European partners have interpreted as a sign that his administration will not immediately abandon support for Kyiv.

Two European officials told the Financial Times that discussions with Trump’s incoming team in recent weeks revealed they had not yet decided on how to solve the conflict, and that support to Ukraine would continue after the US president’s inauguration on January 20.

“The whole [Trump] team is obsessed with strength and looking strong, so they’re recalibrating the Ukraine approach,” said one of the officials.

The incoming administration was also wary of comparisons being made with Joe Biden’s calamitous US withdrawal from Afghanistan, which was something the Trump camp would not like to see repeated in Ukraine, the official added.

Trump earlier this week suggested that “six months” was a more realistic target to end the war.

The most underrated junior listed mining stock in London with top management.

Apart from markets being in a mess, another huge factor is its graphite - unlike for example copper or nickel where regardless of where its mined and processed the end properties are the same. Not all graphite is equal. different prices for sizes and needs to be tested by every OEM. Its not like other commodities.

The herd will arrive once there is media hysteria(like lithium was) about supply shortage and little to no upcoming new supply, China controls everything, so we're doomed, FOMO and far less graphite stocks out there compared to say lithium etc.

Upto to a 920% tariff on graphite imports from China to the U.S.? That sounds absurd! Batteries are already the costliest component of an EV, and imposing such a steep tariff on graphite, which can make up 50% of the battery, could have serious consequences.

FED outlook hawkish next year....

FED outlook next year and stating less cuts due to inflation now and trump tarrifs to push inflation higher. Dollar on a rip, Silver today $28.78.

I expect it to dip below 28, and adt1 to follow the downward trend.

Peace is coming but foolish to think it's coming soon.....Russia is on a roll in occupying more of Ukraine, and certainly will not accept any sort of freezing of the conflict whilst the Ukrainians occupy Kursk.

Long live Ukraine and FXPO!!

Every board has at least one person that spews nonsense. I'm surprised we didn't have one till now....

Always good to see....

Non binding in afraid......means zilch until it's binding.

China’s commerce ministry on Tuesday said it would not permit the export of dual-use items related to gallium, germanium, antimony and superhard materials to the US, and that it would implement stricter controls for graphite-related items

I picked up another 300k for my sipp.......

Mid-long-term silver price will go up but I think in the very near term, we could go back to as low as 28 USD.

Going to get worse before it gets better for Ukraine....

"Ukraine’s largest private energy company, DTEK, said its thermal energy plants had suffered “significant damage”, resulting in blackouts."

Long live Ukraine, long live FXPO!
