If the CGP deal is or is being agreed as per SOLG's offer, the subsequent dilution CGP's shares fully diluted as a sweetener) from yesterday's closing SP would take our current SP down to 35 - 36. Coincidence?

oh oh oh Gi-no.....Too-Rye-Aye!

WI - 00:21 - 'LMAO. It's like trying to hand out the medicine in a scene from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in here.'
Couple of years ago on one of these BBs, there was a self appointed 'moderator' who another poster referred to as 'Nurse Ratched'! I used to PMSL, still do at the thought of it and you've started me off again!

The Nugget - 12:23 - 'I am an LSE virgin.'

Virgin on the demented!

What.....Lloyds going to take us over? Awesome!

MrBond46 - I couldn't resist offering up one of my favourite quotes - not to be taken literally but worth bearing in mind and anyway, its the weekend!
Auric Goldfinger - “Mr Bond, they have a saying in Chicago: 'Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action'.”

I have been invested in CEY for a number of years and held tight through the various setbacks because of the asset that is Sukari and the dividends CEY pay, especially this year as so many 'sensible' income shares cancelled dividends, which as a retired person are a welcome top up to my pensions. Unfortunately I never seemed to have spare cash to top up on the dips so the SP often fell below my average bought price. I was never as firmly suspicious as Rebess but increasingly the negatives about CEY were growing stronger - single mine, what's going on with W Africa, unresolved Court Case, drip selling by the BOD and of course the yearly production problem which I foolishly thought the company had put behind them. Fortunately I had reduced my holding by half since Xdiv taking advantage of 200p+ so I wasn't overexposed on Friday when I read the RNS before the market opened. I sold my remaining holding as soon as I could and fortunately got out at 182p and counted myself fortunate. Enough is enough for me here. I may come back in if the SP drifts further down and the updated mine plan is reassuring but it would only be a much smaller shareholding than previously - can't resist a bit of speculation.
I hope CEY recovers and prospers and good luck to you all with that. I'm still in PGMs but have spread it around this time - getting too old for these early morning heart stoppers!

Mr Bond - wasn't it 'Never mind the quality, feel the width?' We used to laugh at the idea then, but as you say many idiots trumpet that kind of statistic these days - in politics and business!

It's certainly a tad worrying as I can't really get my head round it, but I'm hanging on as the logic of $2000+ is irresistible and I can't think of anywhere else to go that offers safety. GLA

Just while we're waiting, the Sangay volcano is in the same area as the Earth's highest point - a dormant volcano called Chimborazo. Whist not the highest (from sea level) mountain on Earth (not even the highest in the Andes), because of the Earth's oblate elipsoid shape, Chimborazo is the highest when measured from the centre of the Earth.
Just a reminder that we aren't operating in our own backyard here.

What an unfortunate name that chap has. Could be pronounced in a host of different ways!

Thanks for the film link Cowichan. I never realised the full extent of a large mine and it's ancilliary workings even before they start digging the stuff out. A real eye opener for a layman such as myself! Take my hat off to the guys who can pull it all together and keep it going.

I think the most relevant part of KaMel's post explains ECOWAS' position - that of same old, same old political posturing - looking to protect their own positions above all else.

'Regional leaders fear the (popular) coup could set a dangerous precedent in West Africa.'

Not yet in Halifax either, though previously I have seen my account updated later in the day.

Chairman's letter to Shareholders did come across as fairly negative looking forward, and market seems to agree at present. Would hope that today's low is the end of it and we then stay 'kipper' flat or slowly trending back upwards into the new year, all other things being equal.

Well done Grim. If one doesn't like posters then filter them instead of running to teacher and having them banned from the schoolyard. W12 and his/her previous personas bring some much needed light heartedness to what has become a jaw droppingly tedious board, whilst we await something happening on the news front.

BBG - spot on! A few here need to get a life!

LO2W - re your 14:28 - me also. Apologies if I offended anyone. Yours very humbly.....

Thanks LO2W, you beat me to it. The more I read these BBs, the more instances I see of people who appear to have no understanding of what they're up to or involved in. JMHO of course.
