If silver is still hovering around $30 in 2025, there clearly wasn't an actual production deficit over the last 4 years was there...

I think people forget that most silver is mined as a byproduct, it isn't rare. It's a relatively small market too which is why it attracts speculators, therefore good money can be made on the swings.

@Longtimeinvestor

Not sure I understand your confusion. The market valuation of Vodafone is arrived at by simply multiplying the number of shares in issue, by the current price at which investors are prepared to exchange shares at.

The market decides the stock valuation daily, it's really as simple as that, which part don't you get? 😁

Suppose you don't have a choice Nitro, as you were ramping this in the 400s back in 2022.

"This is why I invest for dividends and pay little attention to share price action. Shares go up and down with macro events, but we still get to buy stuff, or reinvest, with the dividend income."

Yes it's genius, you've lost several years of divis in just a few trading days.

Don't worry, I have it on good authority from Anton that the shorts need to close soon 😂

"A closing price does not dictate the next opening price let alone when the gap is a weekend where pricing affecting news flow can take place."

Brilliant analysis as usual longtimeinvestor 👍 Did you also know that the market determines a stock's valuation on a daily basis?

"To receive a dividend with an ex-dividend date of April 10, a shareholder needs to hold their shares until the close of trading two business days before the ex-dividend date—in this case, April 8.

Here’s why:

The ex-dividend date, April 10, is the first day Harbour Energy stock trades without the right to the upcoming dividend. To be eligible, you must be a shareholder of record by the record date, which is typically one business day after the ex-dividend date (April 11, assuming no holidays or weekends interfere). In the UK, stock trades settle on a T+2 basis, meaning a purchase settles two business days after the trade. If you buy shares on April 8, the trade settles on April 10, and you’re recorded as a shareholder by April 11, securing the dividend. If you buy on April 9, the trade settles on April 11, after the ex-dividend date, missing the record date cutoff. 

Hope that makes sense ! "

That is an insanely long "explanation" which is also wrong.

All that matters to an investor is the ex-divi date, and you need to be holding at the close of the previous trading day to be eligible for the dividend. That is all.

Are the shorts closing today?

FRES used to do 900k of gold a year...I see you're another one who popped up in the 900s shouting screaming buy and how cheap it is, just before the drop...

I'd rather it didn't return there.

If you want gold exposure then buy bullion...

"And another decent sized tranche for the Pot... Can't wait for Divi day...."

A year of divis gone in 2 days.

What happened to the 100th "we've finally turned the corner"?

"I sold mine ages ago when my daughter needed money and cursed at the time as it went up, now I am thanking her."

Unless she went and bought Glencore shares with it?

Elliott have made him walk the plank, hopefully Auchincloss is next.

Very much on our own again, as BP was by far the biggest faller amongst supermajors.

Although, can BP even still be considered a supermajor...Even less likely after future divestments.

"Big Glenda doing not too bad considering. Orange bamboon trump makes a good point. Why should other counties apply high tariffs on the US and the US can't."

That didn't age well. You're not a detail guy are you? Like Trump and his aides, you're confusing import tariffs and sales tax/VAT.

Their new tariff calculations by country are based on dividing the US trade deficit by the value of total goods imports. Whether you like Trump or not, the methodology is idiotic.

There isn't any evidence to substantiate the manipulation and shorting narrative that you, Anton and others have peddled for years. Short interest hasn't been above 5% since May 2021...

Problem is, you've nailed your colours so firmly to the "manipulation and suppression" mast, that you feel you can't now concede you were wrong all along. Thousands and thousands of posts crying about shorts and manipulation, and yet not a single one contains any insightful data which proves this.

Playing with micro/small cap, low volume stocks with poor liquidity is extremely risky. All of the odds are stacked against you, yet some still think they can "win" or even more bizarrely, actually expect to "win". You could have just invested in S&P 500/Nasdaq trackers and saved yourself a lot of money, time, stress and anguish.

That's about as polite and kind as I can put it.

"Timing does seem suspicious as the share was finally starting to move in the right direction"

How many times have you said that in the last few years?

Savage, you might want to revisit the definition of "defensive stock".
