Anyone understand why it's taken so long? I don't. However many days in Q3 it's been a lot slower than I expected.

FM has proved himself a master strategist time and again. Going long on your own shares now is a no-brainer when you know you can sell them back to the S.A. market after dual listing at a significant profit. Especially as you know exactly how the Vanchem buyout is progressing..... watch and learn!

No. I don't recall many/ any in my 6 years here. Anyone else?

Just how much this has come off the boil is evidenced by the drop in number of posts in the mornings!

I'm by nature a bit of a pessimist but even I didn't think we'd breach 25p. If it IS a placee selling I would bet Fortune is seething. I'm a good deal less popular with my friends at the moment!

Hi Alfa. And the other evidence was the speed / rate at which it happened. Flurries of large buys over the space of a couple of hours.....and then straight back to more nornal trading volumes.

The only way this mornings trading makes any sense to me is for the MM with a free supply of shares to sell to be helping supppress the price working with a mate to allow them to close a short position advantageously.

Another morning worthy of a FCA look.

Wow. This is beyond tiresome now.

Oddly enough it's not the short that concerns me. I understand why someone might try it when V prices retreating. I also know that it won't last and any shares borrowed would have to be repurchased. I do worry about both the legality and implications of an undisclosed large sell. I think the process stinks as MMs can play a market without telling anyone confident that they can't lose whilst screwing PIs. And I confess I worry about the reasoning behind it continuing when SP is falling. Why doesn't the seller reverse the order to sell or pause it- continuing to sell into a falling market with no apparent bottom to the sell price seems bonkers. Anyone understand it?

Derailed....derisked!

YTSS. Me too. I just don't understand either. They must already have made a huge amount of profit in a very short time especially if one of the recent placees. Why not continue to run a substantial holding completely derailed. It's the one thing that unsettles me here!

Ophidian. Great post. The only bit I still don't get is where the big selling that Alpha believed he had exposed ( I have no reason to disagree by the way) has / is coming from. Do you believe this has not been a factor as it would explain a lot if there is large continued background selling

Just can't believe how much unethical activity is apparently legal - apart from the stuff Alfa has been highlighting as potentially illegal ( worse still I know) the reversed trades and the late reported ones have reached appalling levels whilst they try to dupe ordinary investors. A shameful system.

Expect you've got your brown underpants on Ionic. ;-)

Duh.....skulks away , tail between legs.....

Jimbo, if you're right about the 3 days ...then how are these ok from the 24th? I don't understand - and you seem to speak with some authority!

So much for all the predictions of where the SP woukd be as we approach June. I'd have given long odds on this still being below 30p by now.

Not so sure. It's sometimes difficult to rebuff the advances of a strong and larger suitor. I'm open to that possibility. We cannot have escaped the attention of the big miners. But I'd want a heck of a premium as they would be buying a world class asset with huge reserves and massive potential. Having said that , £ 2 billion would do it.......

Stellar figures.
Hoping the SP moves up on this - will be interesting to see the response of those trying to suppress this.
Who the hell would sell now?
