'sellers force the price up buyers down, it's very simple.'

Anyone who's ever made a 'Make An Offer' offer to buy something on eBay and been rejected because the seller thinks they can get more, or had a higher counter-offer come back from the seller, will appreciate that sellers do try to drive the price up.

Which is slightly different from the usual bidding eBay auction (if there's no reserve) because there the bids are forced up by potential buyers who compete with one another and the seller has no choice in the matter (unless they pull the sale).

So for me there are nuances in how the price is arrived at but eBay is a good example of how two slightly different markets work.

Tim, I'm getting a bit lost with who wrote what, but this took me 20 seconds to find. At least we know you AREN't in the same room :-)

Who can out bid most of the others ? JNJ is one of them.

Good luck, but buy now !!'

That is the question..

Thanks for that Agent; quite a shock. Poor guy. Let's hope he's been correctly informed that it's perfectly curable.

'Mark Steel in Malta' is a very good one. (From memory "Do Maltese drive on the left or on the right side of the road? – It's variable; they just drive on the shady side.")

I'm not sure if it proves Karma, or the non-existence of Karma, but Henry Kissinger is still going strong, aged 100

People generally happy to be informed about the ISS so my last post on the subject is to say that Space Station visible again tonight;

Sat Nov 25 5:14 PM, Visible: 6 min, Max Height: 80° (so tiny bit south of overhead), Appears: 10° above WSW, Disappears: 19° above E

(Do set an alert or you'll miss it. I hope your skies are clear.)

Chopper, I'm glad you saw it!

If you're interested you can sign up for NASA alerts of when you'll see it best, in your own area. The link is https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/signup.cfm

It's kind of addictive once you know there's a chance to see it...

Atb, DG

Off-topic but something I've often been tempted to post, for the attention of bashers and rampers alike..

Now's the time..

Space station should be visible overhead just after 6.02pm if it's clear where you are. Brightest around 6.04pm.Comes from the west and leaves to the east. A bit of fun if you haven't seen it before. Set an alert. You won't remember otherwise.

Time: Fri Nov 24 6:02 PM, Visible: 4 min, Max Height: 90°, Appears: 10° above W, Disappears: 62° above E

Very interesting Skittish, thanks for your comments (and for all the other stuff you post).

Just suppose they come back for more money at some point (and they haven't yet had a discovery when they ask) what do people suppose their arguments for the money would be?

More seismic where they are? Plan a drill for mid 2024? Move to pastures new (Balangida, and Eyasi ) and seismic or drill in the next dry period?

Or a longer timescale than 5 or 6 months from now.

I'm just trying to pick the brains of more researched people I guess..

If this all turns out well in the end at Tai 3 and / or Itumbula some people will have made a lot more money from the inconclusive *initial* Tai 3 results and the low SP we have now (conceivably temporary low sp).

There is still all to play for. HE1 could still discover commercial helium at one or both sites. It's actually no less likely than it was a month ago, or two months ago.

As I understood it, Tai 3 and itumbula are their best shots. I know they have other areas highlighted but others weren't their first choice. I may be wrong because I'm far from as well researched as many but the plan was to make a discovery and then move on to the A2 tier sites from the A1 / Rukwa.

If HE1 wish to have a raise they'd have to make a very good case for it and if their best shots don't come up with the goods, just saying "we'd like to drill till we find HE" won't really cut it.

If they needed just a bit more funding to cover added costs of the delays that would be completely understandable, but it looks like they have enough cash to finish the current jobs anyway.

So what would be the argument for giving more money to HE1 should things not work out? Their licensed grounds are huge and Tanz is enormous, but they couldn't just ask for more cash to just keep going and going.

I think they must still be as confident as seismic studies allow to make a discovery in the wells they already have funding for.

Without a discovery at Tai ,or Itumbula, or fresh persuasive arguments for more money for elsewhere, would they even ask?

I hope someone remembered to wish the McNultyies 'happy anniversary';

'Luckiest man in the world.

And I hope his luck continues.

' drill a hole, not get it right, then cap it to come back to later….so they can drill another hole,'

She did explain that decision very satisfactorily today.

I agree. With LB it's not as if she's made a mistake, like the letter of intent and DM. I don't know that things would be very different under anyone else and presumably there'd be the cost of letting her go. So I think she's safe.

But of course I do worry about what'll happen if they don't get luckier in Itumbula or when they return to drill deeper. I'd certainly take 3/4 of whatever I have left out of HE1 if these are the best two shots they have of a discovery and yet they don't succeed – which is what you say when you ask 'if both drills were to fail then where would we be? '.

I think that she thinks she'll find with one of the two drills.

'Good chance we're doing nothing until late Q2 2024'

Late May, 2024?!

Did you see the interview? I know they have to be positive but I don't foresee a scenario of her being that far out with her rough timeline today.

Hi Roger,

'She still has two chances, 1st Itumbula and 2nd Tai revisit which is derisked. '

Do you mean, in your opinion, LB has 2 chances or HE1 have only two chances?

'Used (good) Warranty '

I wonder whether HE1 have a Warranty on the rig they bought; maybe there'll be some reimbursement of sorts. Or (false economy in hindsight) it cost less to begin with.

That was interesting Pete. You'll be a good person to attend the AGM
