One thing will happen next year that will improve matters is the move to SETs from SETsq. Although won't prevent manipulation does make it harder. It is a min requirement of joint listing. My preferred option would be a move to FTSE. Costs more yes, tougher regulation yes, higher admin costs yes... but considering the BE side, the off-take side, growing iron & coal options etc, etc, etc, ie a multi-site, multi-product product company heading to and over 1B value would sit better on mainstream

All that is happening now is distracting noise .... huge and growing FCF are being made .... remember that the adage 'you cannot beat the market' may hold true over time, but equally, the market does eventually catch up to the stars and recognise cash !

Frustrating & Irritating yes... but I have held for almost 4 years and plan to hold many more - its all noise on the journey

nice one jobj99 ... that is an epic reply .... send everyone home for a good break as its about to get really busy !!

no grasshopper ... a cat would be far too lazy to do a duck impression

so Ekrane ... are you a long term investor or trader ? ... stop moaning and hold for 18-24 months+ or sell

you just have to look at how much cash is being made, no debt and future growth coming in several areas ... compare and contrast with many an AIM debt ridden loss making dog !

Eventually, the day comes when that cash is recognised. ..... bloody frustrating wait though !

“Democracy is nice and good, but to get our full independence from Western imperialists we must close down the Durban harbour so no minerals leave this country. In that way, international manufacturing will descend to SA since we hold 90% of platinum, which the works so need,” read Masina’s tweet.

What a clown ... was Compo Corbyn and the great economically illiterate an inspiration I wonder ?

I am not a fan of CEO market intervention as a rule, but with several 4-6% drops with all the good news I wonder whether FM should (as he did under a concerted shorter attack) make a statement - this sort of volatility cannot do him or the company any good when it comes to negotiating market credit and future long term agreements.

No 19.5 is not something I ever thought I would see again .. wow ..

a concerted tree shake !!

No DaisyDog... There will be two winners... The rules were closest to the day of 100p or if not in 2019 anyone guessing 2020 was the winner

Not gonna happen this year it would seem so the cup looks like it will be jointly won by "stringer" and "uksteveg" . Stringer last posted in August so don't know if he/she is still around.

A couple of posts suggesting 40p by the end of next year.... well ... we were at 50p around a year ago with a lot less production, only one site and no BE in sight. Personally I see lots more next year.

Anyway .. the last in the cup are:

beatthebroker 18 Dec 19
genghisstu 20 Dec 19
R2490 24 Dec 19
fatbanker 31 Dec 19
timenottiming 31 Dec 19
stringer 01 Jan 20 (did put 30 mar 20)
uksteveg 01 Jan 20 (did put 09 Apr 20)

I wonder whether for next year, rather than a target (say 100p), we should change to a guess the SP at bell close 31 Dec 20 ?

so chat about the German deall sign-off being 'imminent' and there follows a tree shake ... how very predictable

I wonder if Ramaphosa has the nerve to use executive power and force early Storage Rollout !

Trader then... After all... If you have done any research, reviewed the many detailed commentaries .. then 21p 23p .. naff all difference covered very likely by the first dividend.... Just buy in or don't. Just don't pontificate on here over a penny. Just makes you look stupid

hey TwoTits ... Buffet is a Growth investor ... he buys companies that have good value as represented by a wider range of factors than most consider and always plans to hold for decades ... he plans to hold for growth. If you are going to have a pop get it right !

As for what @Pdub pointed out .. really just reminding people to read the published RNS .. it is all clear

I would tend to agree RK, but I do hope that on disposal of Lemur, some of it comes back as a Special ... to wet the whistle and share the value

The dividend @TwoHits is over there ... can't you see it ?

amen to that RK :-)

frankly VV because I don't see the link. We have had 18 months of a stream of good news that has has pretty well no effect. Alfa keeps demonstrating the level of manipulation, so if you want to believe a big jump right now is linked to a particular RNS, then fine... I don't.

The SP will rise however long it takes as the cash generation is so high relative to pretty much any other AIM company. I would hope that a significant BE announcement will have effect, but personally I don't expect real movement until we get of SETsq or even better move to the FTSE.

In the end, we each have our views - mine is just as likely to be both right as wrong as yours is

@VV.... That rise to 27p was before the rns's... Then a sharp drop back... All looked a like a hard final shake for closing shorts

All the good news has had no effect at all
