London South East | The UK's favourite investor portal.

No it doesn't Angelis. This crops up regularly, but it's based on a fundamental misunderstanding. It's because the brokers, like Interactive Invester, Hargreaves Lansdowne, etc, group up the holdings of all of their individual customers, like you and me, and they appear as a single "institutional" investor.

Well, putting my own preferences aside, in many ways I agree Lee - that's how Trump got in - the Democrats were asleep at their posts, and frankly haven't shown much real leadership since either. But that's not been a good thing I think, even for the US, in terms of the friends and allies he's alienated along the way, and certainly not for the rest of the world, for many reasons including economic (tariffs) and environmental, and I think at least some Trump voters are starting to realise that.

Coming back to the UK, our political landscape has more variety - both the left and the right have more than one option, so it'll come down to who can get a bigger share of the pie. Anyone even vaguely left of centre isn't going to vote Reform. So they'll vote for one of the left of centre parties - Labour, Lib Dem, Greens, etc. You may laugh at and even mock the likes of the Greens, but they beat Reform in Manchester. Yes, I know - all sorts of reasons why that result probably won't be replicated nation-wide, but still, it's an interesting result. Tactical voting will probably play a huge role, with individual constituency results being decided by who voters *don't* want, rather than who they do. And Reform do provoke strong feelings, one way or another...

When it comes to a national election, as opposed to local ones, both Labour and Tories are likely to get a bigger slice of the pie than many expect simply because they're the tried-and-tested safe options. Better the Devil you know, etc. The question is, will the left-of-center vote be split more than the right-of-centre vote. It's not straight-forward to try to predict. Reform may well get the biggest single bloc, but will end up having to do a deal with someone in order to actually try and assemble a working government, and who will want to do a deal with them?

Honestly, I think it's probably going to be a mess no matter what, and I'm getting a bit tired of political messes generally. It's so depressing all this beating on each other all the time. We could achive incredible things as a race, if we just stopped fighting for a moment. As it is, it feel more like the last days of the Roman Empire. Greed, corruption, inequality, in-fighting, blaming "the other" for all the problems, etc, etc. A story as old as time, but it would be so nice to move on from all that.

I appreciate everyone needs to vent sometimes, but personally, I'm ready to move on. TK is now fully funded, plus we have exploration funds. The way in which it was done leaves a bad taste, but it was done and there's no changing it now. In 20/20 hindsight, I should have sold some in the high 1s, but I have too many to trade my entire holding in one go anyway.

As always, we each have the same 3 choices - buy, hold or sell. I'd have loved getting a 1.2p top-up price a few weeks ago, particularly in time for the new financial year, with new ISA allowences and bonus from work, etc. Good opportunity if you're a buyer intending to hold for the medium-long term.

Quite rightly, HAA is in the sin-bin for me and many others, and will remain there for some time. But that is an entirely separate issue from the question of whether KEFI is worth investing in now. To which, the answer is a qualified yes. At 1.2p and fully funded, KEFI is still good value, even if the top-end estimates are going to have to come down due to the billions of extra shares.

An awful lot of utter nonsense has been written on this board recently, from both sides. Some know it's utter nonsense and are trying to cynically move the price, but most just can't control their own emotions, one way or another. May be time to reign both the excessive pessimism and the excessive optimism in a bit and recognise it for what it is - a solid, but volatile, investment, with a guy at the helm who can and has got the tough (don't think so? What have you achieved? Just to put it in context...) job done of fully-funding what wil be a very profitable mine, but, let's face it, not someone you'd buy a second-hand car from.

For the avoidence of doubt, I'm holding. The over-hang may take some time to clear, but when it does, the SP will likely pop, just as it did last time. If you're inclined to sell, that would probably be a better moment. In April, I'll transfer some more of my holdings into ISAs. I will consider buying more with the funds I will have available, however I have plenty already to be frank, and the recent sector weakness has left several opportunities available. I will be reducing my sell targets, by at least the 28% dilution, probably more, and then will seek to sell in tranches. However, all of those targets are still considerably North of here. I won't be shaken out by my own emotions, and KEFI remains good value at 1.2p (once the overhang has cleared ofc).
