BV - guilty as charged

You can usuually get a very good idea of which trades are buys and which are sells by just looking at the trading record. You'll see that the prices cluster into two distinct groups, with a spread between them. The trades in the higher price group are buys and the ones in the lower price price group are sells, regardless of the mm's posted bid-ask prices. Mms can play games with their posted prices, but they can't disguise the actual traded prices. It's not a perfect system, but it's the best we have.

Noel - this ending a sentence on a preposition business is, in my opinion, one of the most ridiculous and pointless so-called "rules" in English grammar. (The other is the prohibition on splitting an infinitive.) Winston Churchill wasn't a big fan of the preposition rule either. His famous sentence, "ending a sentence on a preposition is something up with which I shall never put", says it best. So no apologies necessary, at least not to me.

This can go either way. But I think I'll give them the benefit of the doubt one more time.

Absolutely right, 360 - the silence is deafening. I try to give my AIM investments every benefit of every doubt, but I'm rapidly running out of benefits here. I can't help but get the feeling that something has gone very wrong. Silence won't make the problem go away, so they might as well tell us about it now.

A tantalum sale! And in my lifetime too!

Right you are, MH25

Do I sniff a good RNS on the way?

Didn't know we had nickel too. Now to sell the stuff.

The tant and lithium are so valuable, they're being kept in the ground for safekeeping.

So if you don't sell your house, it has no value? This is going to come as a great shock to many people, GUG.

They're all of them a sad lot, both sides of the aisle. There are only a handful I have even a shred of respect for. I know things are bad when I, a lifelong Tory, have to put Keir Starmer top of my list. A useless politician, but as far as I can tell, a thoroughly decent fellow who wandered into the political cesspool by mistake. In any case, next time around I'm voting Monster Raving Loony, for lack of a better choice.

Draft - it reminds me of my friend's housemaster at school. Poor fellow was named Bates. No prizes for guessing how he was know behind his back

They made a statement yesterday

Funky, you get gold and I'll take silver. Islandgirl, Max, Steven and the rest of you will have to fight it out for who gets bronze.

Well done, Funky!

Now we know why they killed the financing deal.

Tucson - I think they just weren't going to let a short-term minor cash flow problem cause long-term dilution. Taking that loan to prevent dilution was probably a very smart move in the longer-term. It came, however, with a price tag, which was a longer delay to complete the pipeline. I personally think they made the correct decision, but as with so many other things, only time will tell.

I agree that it was almost certainly kazera that pulled out, but I still wouldn't mind seeing some sort of confirmation and explanation.

The whole thing is very strange, but there must be a logical reason why this deal didn't complete. Whether or not we'll ever know what that reason was is another story.
