What's this news that's due then?

...around 210p, with PoG still edging up from $1950, looks like the rise should stick.

...today's strong finish will continue in the morning.
PoG is back up to $1955 and rising with the $ still in decline, we may breach 220p.

...to have settled down a little.
PoG steady around $1920 and SP here holding above 200p.

...freefall!
$1916

...is falling back, below $1930 now.

...No queues at the buying table!

...we larfed!

Interesting to see that although Platinum is trading around $950 oz, well below the AU price, the shares of the large producers are still quite high. I bought into AAL when the price fell in March, along with everything else, and have been pleased with the rise since then.
However, I do wonder how much room is left. The fact that the price fell so far in March indicates the 'Industrial Metal' view is prevelant and if Platinum is not treated on a par with Gold, can parity be restored?
I'm tempted to cash in and put the profits into the likes of SOLG or IOG, long term certainly, but with the possibilty of greater growth.

...we see some of these fabulous profits returned to the SH's as dividends in the near future.

...indeed. Very little activity here.
I'm looking to top up again, thanks to the Pharma's crazy antics over the last week but not sure if the 12.7 buy on offer will improve.
Have we anything on the horizon to move this at all?

Interesting rise into the bell - could sell for 143p.

...a lock in!

97p to buy!

+4%...so close at 235 then.
Hmmmm.....you certain?

...you have to bite the bullet.
Over the last few weeks, I've drip sold my quite large holding, at a big loss.
The attraction here was always the dividend. With no sign of that being reinstated anytime soon I can find better use for the funds. Nothing worse than lazy money.
I've been in CS for over three years and have bought at 230p down to 101p, so had a high average, however when I bought, I believed in the company and the strategy. Although COVID made things worse, the writing was on the wall last year. I lost confidence, but held on 'In Hope'. The decline since the shops re-opened wasn't the effect I was looking for.
Now my hope is gone. I sincerely hope the new CEO can save the business and wish all holders well, but for now anyway, I'm out.

Bureaucracy in action.
Reminds me of the time my local council insisted I apply for a change of use for an old barn which had been used as a workshop/garage for 20 odd years. They stopped me using it until the application was granted, 9 months later.
It was granted without restrictions - pointless excercise, but very important to the council!

They seem to be accepting sells again, up to 20000.
All the deals below 13.99 are sells, but shown as buys.

I agree IOG is an investment, that's why I first bought in at 8p or so in 2015, and still have a large holding.
However, to trade and make a profit is not wrong.
If you wish to sit on your holding whilst it rises and falls, fine, go ahead, but don't criticise those who sell at a profit and buy back more shares later.

I see your point and have lots of these in my SIPP for my old age.
However I bought large on the drop in March and am up over 25%. This is my trading money and I have other uses for it right now. The fact that I can't sell is very annoying.
I will no doubt top up here again soon, but taking profits should not be restricted.
