More spoofing unfortunately.

I suspect that if Vametco exceeded 800mtv for Q4 that this would move up strongly. For me it would be singularly the most significant news (other than the dramatic rise in the price of Vanadium) since we bought Vametco as it would be indicative that the latest phase of production improvements was kicking in.

I am not expecting it. Even if the report that October's production levels prompted a congratulatory note from management to the staff at Vametco with the suggestion of 260 tonnes for the month,that would still only project a rate of 780mtv for the quarter and that presupposes that there was no reduction over Christmas. I am assuming 703mtv for the quarter as it is the lowest level guidance from the company six weeks into the quarter. Anything more is a bonus, anything less is a failure to meet a target that was set half way through, which would make them look rather silly.

Thanks Block16legend.

Do you have a link Block16legend? I always find navigating around Facebook a pain in the button.

Gkb47, That is true but it is commonly flouted. I have seen a holding go from 40% to nothing with no TR1 for months!

Whilst I believe that I have seen it before somewhere, I confess that I am not familiar with that chart type and couldn't for the life of me work out how those triangles were constructed. I can't ask the author so can you direct me towards some information 1onic?

I think you'll find that it is 'wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen' Chartist2.

Ophidian,

No problem. The original offending post was removed quite quickly for some reason which left my post hanging.

I am starting to believe that the author is not a fan of TA.

Good news ma5k. I look forward to seeing your charts again!

I suspect that you could cut and paste exactly the same sentiment from Metal Bulletin this time last year. I also suspect that the price will carve out a similar path this year as last once the Chinese New Year is past and steel mills ramp up to full capacity.

A good call! We are long overdue some positive news.

Cindercone,

I see that your post has been removed. Whilst your post was of zero value to this board, I see no reason why this should have been done so will protest its removal in the same way as I protested the removal of the TA post yesterday.

Ophidian, Daisan and Chartist2 - an unholy trinity of shorting bedfellows!

In the spirit of Chartist2, five minutes of wonderful laughter!

Thank you cindercone.

Bad news should be released all in one go, good news should be released gradually. I don't think that communication is a strength of the company or FM, however, and I don't think that FM particularly cares as there have been many opportunities to coordinate news with events and year haven't been taken. Time has shown us with BMN that it is a case of what will be will be and FM has got the big things right. Let's hope he gets the production right as this is the short term driver.

Sorry to hear that Pdub. I am sure that if you tackle it with the tenaciousness with which you defend BMN and FM then you will come through with flying colours. I wish you all the best in your fight.

It is really sad that this has come to pass. Just look at the impact that the CFO has had on many people's lives here. Beggars belief.

Hey, I recall some good discussions with you and 1onic over on the M board. They are rare on these boards so it is worth providing what little support one can.

All of which sounds like another way of saying 'age' 1onic! Which I have no problem with as it is indeed true.

I think that Warren Buffet's investment horizon tends to be measured in decades rather than months so I doubt whether he will be too concerned. Actually, given the fact that he is a multi multi billionaire and 88 years old I suspect that he doesn't give a damn!

ma5k,

I have no idea why your posts were removed and I questioned on the BMN board why anyone would report your post. I confess that I didn't agree with some aspects but that is no reason to report the posts! For some reason I feel compelled to apologise!
