From the FT today: "Barrick Gold is looking to take advantage of a downturn in copper prices to make an acquisition in the sector, its chief executive Mark Bristow said, as the Canadian miner reaps the benefits of a higher gold price.

“The gold price is up and the copper price is down,” Mr Bristow told the Financial Times. “So there are bound to be opportunities.” 

I tend to think about the gold in SOLG but the copper reserves may attract interest over the next year or two and that certainly will not harm the sp.

Up on a dozen share trades today most of which were modest buys. No news that I am aware of but possibly POS has been tipped somewhere?

Angel, it sounds great but the markets are not convinced this morning as we are down 5%. So while not quite back at all time lows seen in March this company is not getting the support and buyers to boost sp. I made a small buy here two weeks ago and am contemplating whether to stop loss or average down. Thinking about it, waiting and watching the market.

Thanks for that Kentan the info makes me believe something is afoot and time to buy a few more....that said its a bet and at my own risk!

Being a gambler and a contrarian I am starting to look at Bank shares because the sector has been rightly beaten down by financial mismanagement and is very out of favour. Nonetheless some of the Banks will not go bust because of government support and some because they are quite well managed. Hence I am looking here and at others like Metro for those worth holding for 3-5 years.

FT 2 hrs ago: "Air France-KLM expects its capacity to be almost wiped out in the second quarter, when it forecasts it will burn through €400m in cash a month as the coronavirus pandemic hobbles the global airline industry."

Reckon on about three years for the airline business to recover imo so while RR will not go bust neither is it a sure fire buy even at these prices.

From today's FT: "The Bank of England has forecast that the coronavirus crisis will push the UK economy into a historically large recession, with output dropping 30 per cent in the first half of the year, but it decided not to launch a new stimulus.

In its monetary policy report, the central bank presented rough and ready predictions for the economy, suggesting that output would dip 3 per cent in the first quarter followed by a further 25 per cent fall in the second. This would mean a 30 per cent drop overall in the first half of 2020, the fastest and deepest recession in more than a century.

In a warning to Britain’s banks, the BoE said the contraction would be even deeper and bank losses even greater if they refused to lend to companies, forcing them into bankruptcy."

RR is a tempting buy at these prices and if you were holding for 5 years probably a good entry point. I am not rushing in until some clarity emerges on airlines, bookings and flying hours. Potential game changers....UK Gov orders some RR designed SMRs? Good luck to all who hold RR, I might join you once the trend is upwards.

My hypothesis, someone in Spain has been telling traders and private investors that the permits are about to be granted and that the mine will make gergillions of Euros for early investors. Whether there is any truth in this I have no idea. If it turns out to be true then I suspect many of the buyers will be the same eco mentalists that were happy to try and stop the mine for the past two years but who now want to make a fast buck from them losing their campaign.

I will buy some more once HL can offer me a sensible price!

RNS x 4 this afternoon price monitoring extensions. Not sure but somebody just starting buying shares.....given my leak hypothesis re permits I suspect in Madrid but time will tell.

Time to "buy on the rumour and sell on the news"?

Personally took some profits this morning but have kept a goodly number of shares in anticipation of any good news. Should there not be any announcements I would expect the sp to fade back a tad over the next couple of weeks and would buy more at 24p.

While I appreciate that rising uranium prices will have some impact on the sp here I also hold Cameco and Energy Fuels which are producers and they have not risen by the same degree over the past 7 trading days.
It might be that BKY has been ramped or promoted as a penny share get rich quick scheme on some portal but it is also possible that some progress is being made towards the permits being granted and this has leaked. I have no proof of the latter other than the company's own press releases which suggest they are going at it diligently.

Looking at both banks as I feel the sp drops have been extreme of course they could drop another 70% from here or even go bust but is that likely?
Anyone got a view on which is the better bank to place a punt on?

Thank you for posting re opportunities and yes Prof Muller has an impressive CV.
Notwithstanding all of that, the sp is back at 13p so clearly the markets are not that impressed....yet. The question is how long before we get some more tangible science which might attract investors? Clearly the new P3 trials are going to take some time which is frustrating when we see how quickly pharma can work re Covid 19 when governments let them.

Yesterday morning I bought 8,000 more as the sp had dropped 9% ish and today it has recovered giving me a bit of a lift. While these are dangerous times to be buying the dips in the case of SOLG yesterday was a pretty safe bet. Roll on 30p!

Well I purchased a few more yesterday prob good money after bad but some of my uranium punts doing ok and I still believe this mine will make money one day just not sure when!.

Fortunately that news arrived on a day when the oil market is cautiously up/optimistic about prices.

Anyone aware of anything going on in Spain?

Interesting, just bought 8,000 more on HL wonder if it will come up as a sell or buy?
Anyhoo, when I saw it had dropped 8% I purchased as I am hopeful it will clear 30p this summer.

I just hope Muller is not a Lagarde kind of expert.....economical with the truth?
