The truth is that the sanctions imposed on Russia have done Putin the biggest favour.. the devaluation has made Russian production competitive again.. The Russians are now the largest exporter of wheat.. but not only that the price of oil $25 is what the prevalued rouble would be $50.. Any inflation has worked its way through the system..
But even so they are not going to give their stuff away and I'd draw your attention to this already quoted article avout YUKOS .. about which the drama continues..
"The Exxon or Chevron buy-up of YukosSibneft would have been a literal energy coup d'etat.
Cheney knew it;
Bush knew it;
Khodorkovsky knew it.
Above all, Putin knew it and moved decisively to block it. "

The court cases over compensation for shareholders is still going on.. and the Russians will not want another case dragging on..
But I remain confident of a satisfactory deal with Norilsk and if so I shall add some more Norilsk shares.

He can make an offer but can't buy up shares.. and should any offer be taken I think he'll find it difficult going in Russia.
The Russians are not going to give away any of their wealth now that oil is almost worth zilch.. FtTB

Jan 29th ''Financial speculators have created a bubble in palladium that’s bad for the industry, according to MMC Norilsk Nickel PJSC, the world’s biggest producer of the metal.
Nornickel is planning to take steps to ease market tightness by shifting sales to more investment-grade bars, instead of the powdered form used by industrial consumers, according to Anton Berlin, head of analysis and market development. He declined to provide exact figures of how many bars would be produced.
“The market has formed the bubble,” Berlin said in an interview in Moscow. “Underlying industrial demand is not evolving as quickly as the price move seems to indicate.”
Yes ever bear market is followed by a bull.. but the question is when? The USA was in depression/recession until WWII broke out!
Having just returned from Waitrose, a queue of 2 , there was more traffic on the roads than I have seen previously in recent weeks maybe the people are going to ignore the government and reduce the severity of the recession!
There is only going to be one buyer of us should we decide to sell, Norilsk. And once again I am convinced that the suspension is nothing to do with social media or CITIC but to prevent any other buyer coming onto the scene. But I still believe should we sell we will be given a fair price!

Hmmm... I can only guess that the many here would vote against accepting the 30p offer....
And oh dear we have another wannabe pirate who deals in doubloons.
We have seen the price of palladium drop from 2700+ to 2000 while Norilsk said the price was a bubble back on January 29th when the price was $2273 I have to wonder what Norilsk would think the correct price of Palladium should be if they considered $2273 a bubble?
with the state of the global economy at the mo I doubt if they are in a rush.

...the BOD had been offered 30p per share stating that 6 months ago the SP was 1 penny.. I wonder how many people here would accept it and perhaps more importantly how many would reject it?

and you believe that do you?

working for us or a potential buyer?

There were advertising campaigns to stop the spread of germs.. ''Coughs and sneezes spread diseases'' why has this disappeared?
Here's a 1946 ad to get the point home... I think if he didn't get the point the next step was to kick the shot out of him!

A quote from an Indian Jones film ''“We seem to have reached the age where life stops giving us things and starts taking them away.”

Deaths this year above average up to 10 April
More people have died from flu and pneumonia
Another way to judge the impact of coronavirus is to look at the overall impact on the numbers dying over the course of the year so far.
The figures show overall number of deaths are up.
Nearly 185,000 people have died in 2020 compared with around 175,000 ''on average'' over the past five years at this point of the year.
But the figures for 2020 also show the impact of flu and pneumonia compared to coronavirus.
The number of deaths from flu and pneumonia - at more than 32,000 - is three times higher than the total number of coronavirus deaths this year.

No need to be listed if we've been bought!

so many here think an NDA is in force so a delisting and buyout surely must be on the cards!

it was left blank for us to fill in...

approx £1.2 billion, i think we'd be fortunate in this climate to get more..''
Precisely.. I wondered late last year what could possibly go wrong.. and it was on February 6th that I walked by the river and there, not one but three black swans

As I watch RT's BoomBust.. This lock down is going to do severe damage to the world economy..
and our politicians are clueless as to what they are doing....
Or maybe they are not?

SOARS!

coating of sun protection... back to the sun..

I think we should be wary of people who are flogging the stuff?
