For it to be a tree shake it should be easy to sell and difficult to buy of the way down. Is this the case as I haven't tested it?

Not necessarily so SteJSteJ. A large trade at 50p would skew much smaller trades placed lower.

mitchoftheday,

Based on the statistical samples we currently have available, I am reasonably confident that it will.

Here's another technical analysis technique that is used by swing traders (trades measured in day rather than intraday) - T lines. This is based around the 8 day moving average and in its simplest form suggests being long on a share if it closes above the T line and short/out if it closes below the T line.

For examples on BMN you would have gone short late August before going long again in mid-September. Short beginning of October and long again at the end of October. According to this you would still be long.

There is an adaptation to fine tune when to sell or buy and that is when the 3 day EMA crosses the 8 day EMA.

This, of course, is completely irrelevant to long term holders.

You got to love it. The price goes up over 100% in two months and yet within two days of a pull back people are fretting. Come on guys. Prices drop back a bit after a rise. They ALWAYS do. If you are fretting about this then you must be a nervous wreck before the sun rises every morning.

Down in China and up in the RoW, which is consistent with redistributing supply. The real interest will be when China pricing and elsewhere are roughly equal. Drift down or rise?

Nah. Our parties tend to involve stronger stuff now that there is no tea. They did us a favour!

Certainly interesting I would say. One can only hope that news is revealed soon. The length of news item awaited is growing long indeed but my years on this planet is exhibiting an inverse relationship.

Price action suggests that a seller seems to have returned to the market but will await for trades to appear to confirm one way or the other.

Slow day today.

I think we call them 'cyclists'.

According to Asian Metal:

A bit difficult to reconcile this with Fastmarkets as usual. However, it indicates that Chinese and RoW prices are still converging given the fall. If RoW prices continue flat whilst Chinese prices fall it may also be suggestive that there was some stockpiling in the run up to the rebar standards change. This would also have inflated the prices pre-change. At some point in a deficit situation any stockpiling would be unwound and the price pressure would resume.

Worth keeping an eye on.

Well, Orsu still sit under the radar which, from a UK perspective, is hardly surprising since the company delisted from AIM. However, things have moved on significantly with the drilling campaign and I confess that it has surpassed what I was anticipating. They have drilled more than anticipated and some of the results are excellent. It will be good to see the resource statement that is being produced for part of the property and, significantly, how much will be in the measured and indicated categories (I am not expecting a great deal but indications are that the 40m spacing of some of the drilling will be sufficient for some).

The market capitalisation here is still very low for what looks like a decent property with good infrastructure and other mines (suspended or otherwise) literally sitting next door. As such, this can hardly be described as a 'wild cat' operation and should be rated more highly even considering investors aversion for Russian assets.

Still holding and expect this to come good once the gold price starts moving ahead in anger (I am expecting a 'wash out' low at some point in the not too distant future but I expect 2019 and onwards to be very good for gold prices).

Expert10201,

It is always fascinating to hear otherwise people's views. Personally I have found the trains ok when I use them, the healthcare system adequate for my needs and I feel perfectly safe in London when I choose to go in. As for cyclist death relating to potholes, this seems to be about 2 a year which, whilst 2 too many, is probably not going to worry me too greatly.

We can allow media expressed fears to worry us too greatly where the reality tends to be considerably different in my experience.

Your personal investment rules are your own. If it works for you then stick to it.

I'm not sure that a public bulletin board is really the forum to openly suggest breaking the law (and it certainly came across as a suggestion).

For context, 4.0m lbs, whilst impressive sounding, is only 1814 tonnes or somewhat less than 6 months nameplate capacity at Vametco and will in no way correct the imbalance in the market, although, to quote Tesco, every little helps.

No. Energy Fuels in the US has started trial mining from its ponds:

"During the quarter, the Company continued preparations for its planned November 2018 campaign to recover up to approximately 4.0 million pounds of vanadium from existing pond solutions at the White Mesa Mill, and commenced its vanadium test-mining program, both aimed at allowing the Company to capitalize on current vanadium market strength"

Ha! Very good Alfacomp. The bottom line being that, whilst there are things that potentially could alter the investment case here in the next few years, fusion (of the earthbound variety) is not one of them.

BasilBush, Of course he can't. Given the amount of research carried out by this board, does anyone seriously think that we would have missed a large amount of production coming on stream in the US in the next couple of years? There is one that I know of (and the name escaped me) that is just going into production for Vanadium contained in ponds. They are looking to produce 1000 tonnes a year for the next couple of years.
