I initially assumed that US Salt would be another regional, mid-West or whatever distributor. But I was very wrong it seems.
“US Salt, LLC is currently responsible for producing and distributing over 90% of the private label, round can salt business in the United States.“
This could actually be quite significant.
I managed to make a small profit there! More than I’ve ever done here!! JR got more and more desperate for absolutely any news each day, I was actually quite worried he might be having dark thoughts (seriously).
Oh dear. LSE’s very own perma-simpleton seems to have found his way here from Sirius Minerals, where he’s probably still waiting for “news” and “great start to the day so far” and all his other copied and pasted “lift off” ****e.
Really positive. Let’s face it, any timing for their IPO can only be better than the LUCY one so I’m cautiously optimistic.
A selection of today’s trades. Someone playing games or falling asleep on their keyboard whilst drunk? (!)

Dull and reliable like DLG! Hopefully more reliable than that !!
The economic environment for building and selling houses in the uk is dreadful. I got out of TW and PSN (a little prematurely) a few weeks back for this reason. In part guided by what happened at DLG where the long-standing final dividend was cancelled and the SP fell by 25% in something of a panic sell.
Pretty much as expected really? Strong 2022, really poor outlook for 2023 but one that isn’t accompanied by any estimates.
Re divs not showing on Barclays, I thought mine hadn’t been paid into my ii account. It actually has, I’d just missed the currency drop down at the top of my transactions screen! Changing it to $ showed the DEC dividend (credited to accounts in USD of course). Ignore me if you’ve tried that already :o)
A vote of confidence I think. Can only be positive?
Sorry, ignore me, interims are 21/11 from the last RNS. DOH!!
Last year there was a trading update on 4/11 and interim results on 29/11.
This year the update was the same week on 2/11 … so I assume interims could well be Monday 28/11. Anyone disagree? Reason being I expect profit taking to continue this week, especially with today’s inflation figure of 11.1%, but a significant uplift when the interims reinforce the 830p NAV and good profitability.
NAV is 830p. …
Highlights for the period:
· Gross Portfolio Value (unaudited) is expected to be not less than £1,450 million (30 September 2021: £1,350 million; 31 March 2022: £1,532 million)
· Underlying Gross Portfolio decrease in fair value (unaudited) of approximately 17% at constant currency. Net decline of 12% due to offsetting currency tailwinds of approximately 5%
· Valuations calibrated to reflect public market peers leading to a reduction in Enterprise Value ("EV") in the Core portfolio on average of 35%, leading to fair value reductions (before currency movements) of 17%, with preference share protection limiting the downside
· Portfolio well-funded with more than 75% of the Core with over 18 months of cash runway and revenues continue to grow at an average for the Core of over 60% with forecast growth of 70% for 2023
· NAV per share is expected to be not less than 830p (30 September 2021: 887p; 31 March 2022: 937p)
I’m sure we each have our own highlights. Mine is the following … I’ve been topping up (sadly, it’s technically averaging down!) and will continue at these undervalued levels.
“Microsalt application testing has been successfully completed with some of the largest retail chains in the US. Full production tests of snack foods with Microsalt applied were finished with outstanding results, with product flowing well and being applied at an even and consistent rate using the customer's equipment, is a significant milestone.“
Good news. In a slightly different medical area to our normal work as well?
