Copying Wetherspoon?

If open pit is an option postponing the suspension to prevent share price moves until status is decided I think would be sensible.

What about the GCM board/Tang greasing the new Bangla regime with a stake in the company instead of a market raise so that objections fade to open pit start. It would be nice to be government backed for a change.

The PM's grip has loosened to manage the economy post election I read from that. Is Kamal tackling corruption... “I have learned from the newspapers that there have been unusual transactions in some cases, it will not be longer.”

I wonder when the energy ministers will release the clutch.

Brexit has made the EU more of a flexible entity even though the UK has paid a price it has had more influence on being realistic over the channel, amazing how the UK actually prevented evolution by being in the EU.

I will be very miffed if AAL is bought out but think Woodsmith prevents that.

Woodsmith was deliberately manoeuvered into the hands of AAL instead of giving a lesser outfit a long term loan. I object to deals selling the polyhalite in advance as it will sell itself for more profit at market rates.

Too true, the world has stagflation coming but AAL says "Looking ahead, the fundamental supply and demand picture for many metals and minerals is ever more attractive. Many of the world's major economies are focusing their resources on meeting global decarbonisation timelines and, as the global population grows, continues to urbanise and demands higher living standards, we expect unprecedented demand for responsibly produced raw materials. We are improving our resilience and ensuring we are set up to grow the value of our business into the major demand trends, drawing on the bench of well sequenced margin-enhancing project options within Anglo American."

Survival of the fittest will be the name of the game for some time; shareholders will be targeted for their wealth/exploitation and small investors (me) and those starting out in the game have a difficult field to play on.

Woodsmith is the key takeaway in the update for me. I think they are cutting costs and maximizing returns at lower production to finish Woodsmith which they are banking on being a winner.

"

· Capex of c.$5.7 billion (a reduction of c.$0.8 billion) and includes Woodsmith

2025

· Production expected to decrease by a further c.3%(2): production changes to enhance value and reduce unit costs, and scheduled maintenance

· Capex of c.$5.7 billion (a reduction of c.$0.4 billion), including Woodsmith

2026

· Production expected to increase by c.4%(2): benefiting from higher volumes in copper, iron ore, steelmaking coal and diamonds

· Capex of c.$5.3 billion, including Woodsmith "

The haze of ignorance being dissipated as the heat rises in Bangla politics.

What a pickle we are in, he puts me off solar panels.

Are we buoyed up by Russian money/migrants; I used to read https://www.lse.co.uk/chat/general/general/1D3531D6-391B-42B4-9C9C-C9F8383D0BB8.html?page=15 but Madpunter has stopped his posting. I have always thought BGEO was a conduit for a more respectable Russian investor rather than Putin backed one.

I suspect Hasina stays in power with the help of her muslim adherents not conversant with business and exchange rates so business leaders have to suck it up while her cronies delivering power/energy get all the money available. Maybe when she meets her end a new leader will be more sensible, born 28/9/47 she will be 76 this year. There are 169 million Bengalis.

I sent BIRD an email re supporting start-up news businesses years ago to focus the mind of MSM. I hope creator will do just that as it seems a slam dunk for BIRD.

It is time GCM handed back the licence in exchange for a basic management fee to rise as the amount of coal mined increases. This would give the wallahs the control of their resource and satisfy their egos. I thought it would help with Tang taking over but all is as slow as ever. Certainly time GCM made a return!

RNS today-must have loaded up ahead of listing otherwise SP would have rocketed.

How much research have Blackird done by chatting to the reporters gathering their clips. That is the only way to make progress; if they like it and start using it there will be a virtuous circle of user feedback and peer recommendation. Making another platform available without that personal touch will get nowhere in the communication business. The reporters on the ground do not attend media seminars in Germany and California nor are they interested in corporate deals. IM needs to change tack.

Is there some sort of closed shop operating Pokerchips with the incumbent media reporters using their software rather than Blackbird which would see them eventually exposed by better reporting. This is why I have always advocated Blackbird should have a subsidiary platform to disseminate news by freelancers worldwide. The threat is there to the BBC/ITN that on the spot Youtube like reporting would be fresh, evidential and realtime and would attract viewers as a result with news and not political/talking head input to brainwash us.

People in the age of the internet are lazy. You need a fit body to change habits. Bird needs to start its own publishing company with exclusively blackbird tech in use and if it really is that good it should rise to the top. They could easily start off low budget -surely. Why pay for salesman if you don't believe in it yourself as credibility will never be there.

Wolfspeed Inc has a 14.38 bn $ MC (doubled in 2.5 months)but makes wafers like IQE plus has a product range. When are IQE going to do the same obvious integrated development as them? They have done all the R&D and were founded just one year after Wolfspeed Inc. MC of IQE 332.33 M $. Not invested-just need UK to make something.

8/11/17 I mean

22/17 buy 5/18 must have been the split
