TakingMyTime - You are quite right and I beg your pardon. It's not the first time the $ without the prefix A or AUS has caught me out.. Also explains why a lot of commodity companies have Fx departments to keep traders on their toes! Anyway, still not overly bothered. I intend to use any dip in the USA$ or GBP price to load-up on more physical....

So what percentage of share holders don't understand the 'put' options, that we've purchased from our excellent cash flow? The price of gold doesn't bother me very much for the rest of the year, at least.

Once this is fully certified, I nominate the Night Parrot as our company mascot!

It's the 'sober style'...

Timber T,

Thanks, very useful!

Knocker - "I’ve had an AM Vantage S soft top….supposed to be a super car. Found it distinctly average. Owned various Porsches…now you’re talking the real deal".

My second/third favourite car of ownership was my 928S4, back in the day, being a dyed-in-the-wool V8 fan. One memorable journey, back from Liverpool to London with a girlfriend's no longer wanted fridge in the rear hatch, secured with bungee straps. Overtook an unmarked cop car at about 13x mph, but noticed and pulled over and slowed down. Sure enough, the cop car came alongside, the passenger wagged a finger at me and signalled that I should slow down.. I don't think that magnanimous attitude exists these days, but of course, it sticks in my mind...

Before I bought my AMG, I was close to buying a mint 993 and had booked a test drive for a Saturday morning. I was just about to leave the house when I received a call from the dealer to say that he'd sold it. I was not happy....

Noswej - "Victorias got 27 Wendy houses....."

Yes, it's certainly an interesting prospect, but 'Big Bad Wolf' insurance premiums must be a concern?

This is clearly a trend with elevated gold values. Anyone a LTH in Serabi and getting nervous? I am.....

I'm thinking about swapping my AMG for an Aston Martin. Anyone on this board have one? Or two?

Rick Rule sometimes mentions reorganisation criteria adopted by the big guys. It's more complicated than we might imagine and frequently includes factors aside from the final price. He also maintains that divestments often end-up with larger and better quality reserves than calculated by the seller. A possible part explanation is that the acquiring party might well have done a lot more and detailed analysis than the seller. I think in our case, we've been lucky with both the asset and the management...

Riddle me this? Up or down at U.S. opening??

Spinnaker,

Well it's now A$14.73 to buy with II, so equivalent to London's close. I was expecting more of a negative reaction to be honest - and an opportunity to buy a dip, but I'm not really bothered either way. LTH with grandchildren in mind!

I've just been adding since Dec'24, but stupidly I used most of my ISA allowance both '24 and '25 within the first month or so on dividend aristocrats. Majority of the ISA dividend revenue has been directed to GGP and a couple of other gold and silver funds. Today I held my nose and paid 751 early-on and got my ISA holding ahead of my trading account stash, at the expense of my average, but I'm still comfortably over 100% to the good. The finish at over 780 made me feel better!

I don't really need the money and neither do my children. My grandchildren undoubtedly will be glad of a bit of 'Jack Dash' as they grow-up though and my partner who is substantially younger than me and therefore likely to survive me for a considerable number of years, will need provision.

Interestingly, my BIL came to UK from South Africa forty-odd years ago with the intention of building a yacht. The funding was provided by an inheritance from his grandfather - who died leaving a substantial number of shares, in a goldmine!! This fact has never been overlooked..... :)))

Noswej - "I suspect Victoria was, as a baby, dropped on his head or the umbilical cord strangled him......He definitely ain't all there".

You're cruel. It can't be easy living with dickslicksia as we are now informed by Vicky. However, I understand the condition is far less obtrusive if the sufferer remains mostly sober when attempting to construct a sentence..

My main platform is II, but I opened an account with T212 a couple of years ago, for many of the same reasons you mention, but also to satisfy my addiction to 'punts' on aim stocks, start-ups and the promise of magic..

It has worked out well. Although their system doesn't generate 'live quotes' it's easy enough to check the real price of a big spread by getting a quote with II, or just placing a limit buy. The other things I find useful is the daily interest paid (currently 3.8%) on cash balances and the free debit card, with pays 1.5% cashback on most purchases.

Over the years, I've gradually transferred chunks from my II trading account, free of charge, so that when I start to wind them down, I can sell them piecemeal without charges.

However, there is very limited customer service, but you can't expect too much for a basically free platform.

My very simple take is that it has been sidelined to preserve cash in case the farm-out for Kodiak becomes protracted. There also may be a side of psychology, ie, Kodiak is the 'meat and potatoes', and pending success, there may be a better approach to Dubhe if cash is of reduced concern. I'm mindful that over the last couple of decades, drilling and extraction techniques have evolved considerably, with particular reference to fracking and it's my layman's hunch that Dubhe will at some point be productive.

CBOE live A$15.00 a rise of 2.5%...

Wow!
