Oh well if Motley Fool is bullish, then we've got nothing to worry about have we? It will just be plain sailing from now on😆

On the same topic, make of this what you will...

Toli you haven't been here long but your calls so far are shocking. Talking up an imminent rerate and how sellers have been flushed at 21p, 20p, 19p, 18p...

Anyone would think that you're trying to reel more retail in before another drop 😃

"And believe me, every soldier who is now forced to kill people from the other side would be super happy to drop his weapon and come back home."

Some people like it...Watched a great interview with a former US marine who's been serving in Ukraine's international legion, he's been at war for more than 20 years on and off in different conflicts.

It seems Mr. Market didn't like Newmont's numbers as much as you Bonker, they trashed it 6% on Friday. Hopefully, Fresnillo's are better received next month...

Volume at 4.5m was huge on Friday - if someone was bailing then someone else was also buying, or just an institutional shuffle?

"The more important thing is to have cast-iron security guarantees of any cease fire, precisely what Trump is refusing to offer against his friend and mentor, Putin."

Will you be volunteering then if the UK provides a guarantee and Russia strikes again? No, thought not...

The American people didn't vote to provide a backstop for Ukraine, the appetite isn't there in Europe anymore either. But there is a necessity to end the mass killing as soon as possible, and if that means Zelensky being stood down and Ukraine ceding territory then so be it. You don't get to call the shots when you're that dependent on others for support.

There's always a loud (but thankfully dwindling) core of people who cheer on any form of military intervention, usually having never been anywhere near a conflict, nor knowing anything about the political backdrop either. But the seal clappers cheer on further escalation and intervention because they've been told that: "it's the right thing to do". Blair, Bush & co had the same complex and it caused irreparable damage to trust in politicians.

Dear Wise, Troajan and the other forever war cheerleaders, how and with what are Ukraine going to reclaim the lost territory?

Amazing that people still post and follow broker notes...

"More like Zelensky is the main obstacle to Ukraine's capitulation on Russia's terms so Trump can claim he ended the war. "

Zelensky wants to continue fighting with other people's money and weapons to preserve his legacy. Unfortunately, the battle lines aren't so different from 2014 so it's increasingly looking like a colossal waste of life and suffering for nothing.

Perhaps when Ukraine repelled the initial invasion, they should have been prepared to sit down and discuss a ceasefire. But Zelensky and co wanted the glory of reclaiming all lost territory, which probably never was realistic.

Zelensky's demands of Russia ceding all captured territory and NATO membership are a non-starter. Ironically he is actually the main obstacle to a ceasefire now, hence Trump and co are trying to nudge him out.

Typing "Newmont earnings" into Google would have been quicker 😆

"Antonvb

when do you see this share is buy ?"

He liked it at 60p so he's gotta love it at 16p...

The biggest risk to the share price seems to be the Essex spivs and Del Boys who are running the stock up and down, whilst simultaneously creating new accounts to deramp, all under the guise of offering a friendly warning.

"Particularly when buys are outstripping sales 2 to 1."

Every buy is a sell and every sell is a buy...The buy/sell differentiation on here is just indicative, depending if the traded price was reported closer to the bid or ask.

Again a 25% demolition on only 4 million volume...

Of course it is...Another 20% drop out of nothing, combined with deramping posts across multiple boards. It really shouldn't be that difficult to identify the culprits and prosecute...

I see that LSE market surveillance and FCA are asleep at the wheel again...

"here seems to be a lot of selling , I hope it’s Shorts closing"

Shorts were closing at 60p, 50p, 40p, 30p and 20p, don't you remember?

Funds from operations isn't made-up or an internal fudge, it is a widely understood term...But it measures cash flow opposed to profitability with EBITDA; although that isn't a recognised metric under GAAP either and is often massaged or fudged.

Either way though, there isn't much to cheer in those results.

Average volume has been >2.5m this year, nothing out of the ordinary today.
