Broadly agree, baring political interference the mine will eventually progress and make money but I would rather it was not in Spain where their officials drag a months work into a year!

Agree, I have made good returns in the past 12 months from investments in Cameco and Energy Fuels but remain 20% down on BKY because of the delays.

Very frustrating as the Uranium is there and the EU needs a safe supply of its own but as long as idiots like Merkel are content to close nuclear power plants in Germany to placate the Green Party we are where we are.

10% up to 11% down in one session? Not feeling so brave anymore about IMM, this is what Tesla does most weeks but at least their shareholders have enjoyed some Up!.

I am up then down and now perplexed, no not really typical roller coaster small cap biotech. Now and again one comes good like OXB so happy to hold here and see where the extended trial goes. Would I invest in further fund raising if it were necessary? Yes, in a modest way, a few hundred quid based on the science thus far.

Chuffed to now be in the blue on this punt but purchased recently because I felt the phase three trial results cheated many patients out of trying Lupizor. Feel pleased for those who will be given a chance to try it and confident that it will cure some and improve the lives of the many.

From the FT today "Carbon credits, introduced by the EU to curb pollution by companies in the trading bloc, have soared almost fourfold in the past year to above €20 per tonne of CO2, following legislative changes designed to get the scheme working.

The rebound in the relatively little-known commodity has gone largely unnoticed but is set to have huge ramifications for how Europe generates electricity, with the rising cost of emitting carbon expected to make renewables, nuclear and natural gas more competitive with coal."

"Sept 7 (Reuters) - Playtech Plc has sold its entire 10 percent shareholding in online retail trading platform Plus500 for about 176 million pounds ($228 million), the company said on Friday, giving no details on the buyer.

Playtech said it sold 11.4 million ordinary shares at 1,550 pence-a-share in Israel-based Plus500, which provides an online platform for retail customers to trade contracts for differences. ($1 = 0.7731 pounds) (Reporting by Justin George Varghese in Bengaluru)"

So expect the sp to drop another 3%!!!

Just checked share trades above and two purchases of 1,200,000 shares today? So a field of blue with some large buys and yet the sp down 3%? Odd!

Fair point, I should have said seat occupancy/load factor and yield. Ryanair strikes and rail issues will have helped.

From the FT today

"As the nuclear industry gathers in London this week for one of its biggest annual shindigs, it does so with the price of uranium at its highest level in more than a year.

Production cuts, cancelled projects, and interest from financial investors has helped drive the price of the radioactive material, used in nuclear reactors, up by 30 per cent since April.

After years of pain, uranium bulls are on the front foot. The market has now bottomed and the price is set to move higher, they argue, as the industry get to grips with issues that have blighted it over the past decade and China continues its war on pollution.

“In the parts of the world, which face growing demand for clean energy such as China, nuclear power is going to be really important,” said Nick Stansbury, fund manager at Legal & General Investment Management.

Or maybe they do not....down 3.8% today! Anyone know why?

Thanks for the useful posts I bought after the trial failure and sp drop purely because of the antibiotic work. Worldwide gonorrhea is a real problem and any new drug which can combat it is worth a punt imo.

Purchased a few more this morning for a family pension as anything below 900p seems worth a punt given the science news on Kymirah and T Cells plus broker ratings.

My expectation is that the news flow will see the sp move up in 2018 and perhaps a bid within 12 months?

EasyJet just announced 5% up on passenger numbers over the summer I believe Flybe will be in a similar position.

I think the events of the last few weeks make it clear that while big players are selling and buying chunks of the business we the small investor get no clue of this. While it is not market manipulation it is deliberately opaque and I have just purchased 500 more a few minutes ago because I feel Playtech has been oversold and will bounce back.

Clearly larger investors feel the same way.

Encouraging news imo.

My main concern about WMH is not the impact of FOBT in the UK but its overall level of debt so my main punt in this sector is with 888.

"Barclays raised William Hill to “overweight” from “neutral” with a 320p target price. Its upgrade follows the bookmaker on Friday setting out plans to invest between $50m and $60m in the US.

Since the “initial euphoria” around the US decriminalisation of sports betting, William Hill has underperformed Ladbrokes owner GVC by 24 per cent, which has left the stock looking cheap, said Barclays. The group’s capital markets day in autumn would give management an opportunity to outline the US strategy and highlight the size of the organic growth strategy, and the option remained open to partner with a US multi-state casino operator, it said. Barclays also noted that Barclays was looking at acquisitions outside the UK and argued that its guidance on fixed-odds betting terminal regulations might be conservative as it did not include online substitution. Finally, Barclays said William Hill might once again be viewed as a takeover target given the “wave of M&A sweeping through the sector”.

Peel Hunt also upgraded William Hill to “add” from “hold”.

“What we heard was a business writing deliverable prose about site-by-site deals for expansion while competitors are talking poetically about joint ventures,” Peel Hunt said of last week’s update. “William Hill has access to some US states for sports betting and is signing agreements for more. And it has the added attraction of owning a US business which is already profitable. It is also investing in detailed groundwork to give it the best chance to grow into more states. We believe that is adding value and should not have resulted in a share price.”

While I hope that the arbitration delivers a pay out I am still a fan because of the existing cash and oil reserves owned by CNE. Might Brexit may influence the arbitration decision? Court should be neutral but human nature a factor.

I see CNE as a hold rather than a strong buy and content to do so.

Not that I can see but while this is an opportunistic buy for me the news and financials are such that I might buy a few more because I think a 510p sp is good value.
