Last episode on BBC 2 pots and pans french company making pans with iron ore from South Africa, near the beginning shows a visit to an open cast mine, worth a catch up if you missed it. Still long and strong, all keep safe and well.
Apologies it's not BMN related but am hoping someone can help.
Myself and other half are with HL, we both received shares in Calidus Resources Ltd through holding shares in Keras Resourses Ltd in a similar manner that BMN holders received ATM shares. Calidus are listed on the Australian Stock Market which HL do not deal in. I was advised back in December last year that HL would use a third party in this case HSBC to sell the shares. I have been told today that HL are still in the process of transferring the shares to HSBC and are unable to give any indication how long it will take so have decided to transfer her Stocks and Shares ISA to a platform that will support the sale of Calidus shares. I have looked at using HSBC but they require using a HSBC current account which we do not hold.
So would gratefully appreciate if anyone can recommend a suitable trading platform that supports the Australian Stock Market.
My plan was always to sell a chunk at 50p and hold the remainder for the long term investment and the dividend whenever it arrives. Unfortunately it never did so I find myself where even with my average at 12p I'm underwater. So if anyone wants to try a cheeky offer at 50p I have exactly 423,336 shares ready to sell on the spike, the remainder I will keep for the ride if it happens. I know my average is low compared with a lot of the other holders on here and I really feel your pain as I have other holdings that have also drastically bombed and are well underwater. Still long and strong on BMN. Everyone keep safe and well if you can.
Many thanks for all the well wishes, really much appreciated.
So great news, all clear, no need for any further treatment, will be having check up scans in the future.
Have to wait 4 more months before bowel reversal operation can be considered, all being well and subject to an internal examination will be able to have the operation, so fingers crossed.
Kind regards
Derek
So following on from my major bowel cancer surgery last December myself and my other half are finally returning to Derriford Hospital later today for Scan and Histology results. Still feeling 100% confident for the future, but got to admit I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a tad apprehensive. Appointment is for 4.25 so phone will be off, so hoping for good news today on both fronts my future health and BMN closing price.
Not sure if this has been mentioned before, new installation near Carland Cross A30 Cornwall new wind turbine linked to battery storage due 2021? just mentioned on Pirate FM local news, only caught the end of it so not sure what I missed.
Finally back home with friends and family.
Thankyou everyone for your kind wishes and advice.
Hoping today Watford can put up a good show against Man Utd.
Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healty and Prosperous New Year to everyone.
Thanks Paul your lovely comments and advice mean a great deal to me.
I don't know what the future may hold but my bucket list has certainly grown !!! And I am really positive for the future.
Yes the consultants, doctors, nurses and everyone involved have been absolutely outstanding with my care.
Even HL have been excellent, I totally messed up on my SIPP drawdown for December, phoned them in a panic yesterday having missed the deadlines, explained the situation and they have sorted everything for me.
Kind regards Derek
Quite an interesting year, last November just missed out on my target price of 50p to release some funds. I and my wife have a pretty substantial holding by our standards in BMN. It has been a disappointing year with regards to the share price but I am still 100 % certain that this will all come good, fortunately our average is approx 12p so I class my self as fortunate to still be ahead, and do have a lot of sympathy for those who are currently under water.
So fast forward to this November, started feeling unwell with stomach pains, visit to the doctor rushed into Deriford Hospital Plymouth , unfortunately diagnosed with bowel cancer, have had to have part of my bowel removed and now have a stoma bag which fortunately can be reversed subject to needing future chemo am still awaiting results.
This morning I had a full MOT and passed with a few advisories lol, so after nearly a month in hospital I'm going home tomorrow in time for Christmas.
So I don't know what the future holds, but when I started buying into BMN I was convinced this would be a life changer of a share, nothing has changed, this will come good, financially with juggling things around I'm pretty confident that I can get to at least next April without having to consider selling any shares, hopefully by that time the share price will be somewhere north of todays price.
Apologies for the long post but I felt it was important to share my situation as I know a few others on here have been suffering themselves or with loved ones.
So I will sign off with wishing everyone good health (No names just in case I miss someone) and hope everyone has a Wonderful Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
Quite an interesting 10 months since our high back in December 2018, certainly feeling more positive now looking as we may have turned the tide, been quite a roller coaster.
Have an understanding how a short works would it be possible for any of the more professional number crunchers on here to give an idea how much potential gains may have been made from the large shorts that have been running using any available share dealing data.
PS. my wife is still hoping she can have her dream kitchen this year, only trouble is because of the potential of this share I have added the requirement for a vaulted ceiling with velux windows, so may have to wait a little longer !!!
I'm with HL, it's my deal showing as a buy for 11,369 @ 20.60, interested to know why it shows immediately as a buy and not as a sell as with some of the other trades. Can anyone try and explain, is it because I'm with HL ?
