came across this page today which details average interest on a grade B bond. Currently around 7%, was as high as 9.28 in early 2016.. which was a peak in the past 9 years. The graph does show at the time of the financial crisis, the average yield was 22% when they were sold off for unprecedented reasons.
Could be a positive there if we have a rate secured below 10%. Even at 10% i could imagine there will be people ripping each others hands off to get them!

"buy the rumour and sell on the news," think technical analysis plays well with this, able to see the rumours even if you don't hear...... not many romours about sxx these days... did anyone mention road gold or at least road salt?

yes, in theory it opens up much scope for increased volumes for india or additional agreements. India in population terms is like 3-4 americas!! That said their agric system is quite subsistence in many parts low or no inputs & low output,

I remember last week i read someone predicting that an India RNS would be released today, they were spot on! Wouldn't be surprised if we get over the 16p barrier on opening, for a while at least. One year i'll need to get up for the AGM

Thornback, its the same stuff unless i am mistaken, i remember i worked it out a while back and have now forgotten, its due to them simply stating the nutrients in a slightly different form , apologies cant explain any better chemistry not my strong point. i do believe however boulby do makes some blends which have poly 4 added to or other nutrients added also

i see "rampymcrampyface" is the the no2 ramper of all tickers......... what a name!

Perhaps PAA is like a guardian angel who only visits our planet or virtual potash pile at times of extreme distress, bit like the angel in the movie butterfly effect

Useful post thanks, plus 10% interest rate, jeez... Higher rate than those scam investments on Facebook. Look forward to them refinancing those bonds in the distant future

Thanks, was just apologising about what predictive text did to your name!, yes fingers crossed ref Sxx, if one day we end up at 80p or more we'll all wonder why we fretted so much over a half penny. As many wise sages say about amazon or apple , you had to have nerves of steel to keep the stock from the start without selling while taking multiple 50 to 80% declines, nerves of steel, but they were rewarded in the end gla

Beerbull, my apologies!

Cheers for that Beetbull, the hurricane rns always such a pleasure to read, great news on foil, hmm guess that's my most successful share at the moment, funny ive never been that emotionally invested in it however, yes I do wish the same for sirius, would be nice if CF could keep investors content like Dr Trice does

Congratulations Bellers! Think you gave some invaluable advice there, invest in your health, so as to maximise the quality and quantity of the retirement, health is true wealth

I'm in the camp of I'd happily be retired tomorrow, as in 40, I've done a few different jobs over the year and never really enjoyed any, these days I do numbers excel all day, accounts, bleurghh. When I was younger used to enjoy working on farms driving the nice machinery was fun and a good life.. But the hours..... Yip I like my free time and would be happy to live of divvi type income for the rest of my life

Food for thought Saitoman. I sometimes wonder if my, (and likely other investors) get our thinking wrong. We think like investors or to a degree speculators, but we would be better to think like sirius top accountants and the institutional investors, I'll read up on that share you mentioned. I think I can handle some dilution in Sxx now, but I could not go back through a major dilution to finish the build for example, eek

Best to scale back Sxx net margins, I really can't see 120/t profit. I prefer to work on a 40% margin and even that is incredibly optimistic, then scale it back for retained earnings for debt capital repayment and capx

Probability of double or half are both probably unlikely, a range from 13.5 to 20 more likely,

Completely possible, a prediction just 8% below 15p issue, often (other) sp can drop well below issue price, based on sentiment or any number of reasons

I never have shorted stocks but I do see some service they serve to the market. Shorters are less likely to short at or below fair value, high ‰ of shorts often gives good reason to check the company fundamentals more carefully, see if anything we've missed. Also if someone is shorting a good company, they give you a chance to buy more stock at a lower price. They can't short forever and as fundamentals continue improve, sp rises and they'd be wise close their shorts. I wish I'd paid more attention to the Sxx shorts last year when the SP was 38p with a market cap of possibly 1.8B, the Shorters were saying "reign it it in or we're going to have some of your paper profits"

I'd like to see the sp up by 20% by October Chilting, once the finance sorted who knows where it'll be. Don't think it will drift any lower than 14 but more likely a modest rise above where it is now

Ref 20mta id say they could double, and then some, due to the increased efficiencies of the mine running at a higher capacity, I did a lovely valuation model last year in excel, but currently sitting on a sun lounger in Greece, no excel work and computers, yah
