Yes and someone in the states was buying above that price last week.

That’s exactly whagt I’m saying. Just because current management can’t get value out of it that’s there, that’s what makes it a take over target. So alamost by deifinition teh takeover is at a higher price than book value.

But logically which side of the argument does this observation fit? If the company buying is buying, its because it has a god repuation and is doing well. So why would IQEs reputation amtter. Because to be bought out by a high bid, IQE must be worth less then the sum of its parts.

It was 92.5 on Friday, 16:30. It is 93.2 now - held lower by Trump flooding the market unsustainably. How long do you think it's going to take to regain the oil production levels in the Middle East? How long will Trump keep dumping oil into the market? How long will we allow Russia to supply India? Is Trump going to buy from Aytollah Junior? When Trump manipulates world markets like this, as he has always done, it's hard to predict, but medium term, a lot of damage has been done to O&G production - and as for helium - ouch - or whoopee - depending on your viewpoint. That’s because he makes the next move, and then tells you he’s done it.

Now the execs are OK to take their flights again - no doubt made cheaper by all the cancellations - the bidding war is back on. US did well last night.

Isn’t the point that this is blatant Trump manipulation of world financial markets but in the end world economic conditions triumph over any manipulators short term gains? When oil rose to this level on Friday - the stock value was this level. The market may have been buying in anticipation - but no one expected $110 dollars Monday morning. So surely the price has already correcgted for the now existing number of $93 and he can force it down lower after 12am today or even in the 10:30 auction - but will he actually hold it lower than it is ? We can see the massive discount between WTI and Brent is back. This is unsustainable and much capacity has been turned off. On the other hand I am glad I shifted a lot to heliumers because that is one market he cannot fool ro manipulate even though it is a minnow market. Why - because there is no helium store - and we’ve lost 33% of production world wide prodcution for who knows how long.

Nice little rally today this afternoon. I think the market is right, and this won’t get bought until people can fly across the pond cheaply again, but the obvious message is there. There is a deal to be done here, and everyone thinks it will happen because it needs to. Currently unprofitable but too good and too involved with the cluster to bin. Hopefully, I get some gas money out tomorrow and get a nice drop so I can buy in for the afternoon recovery. Think the action becomes predictable now. London accountants sell the cost of everything and the value of nothing, Bay side entreprenneurs buy the value of opportunity and disregard the cost of everything.

Do they have any helium ?

And this si where the real mon ehy is mad. You look at Galantas for example. up 10 fold in a month but if you sliced every stlling rise and then bout the dips back in you probaly made half as much again ! Same looks to be true here.

I've got a little box on investing.com showing 108-110 at the moment - hoping around quiet a bit.

It's like watching India batting - non-stop action, and it keeps looking like WTI is about to catch Brent. It won’t happen, of course. What a mess Trump’s made of this world. He said he had a plan for the oil problem. I’m all ears, Donald.

And the Vix is 25 - even - Trump followers have realised

Have you never seen a video of He super-fluidity? Saw it demonstrated live in 1977. Amazing.

McNol, got to hand it to you, say the same chart pattern but totally discounted it on previous history, but it really does look like the market does not expect another placement, and we have a rocker here. Well done for calling it.

It was bonkers that it ever fell off its peak, really. ICs need silver, solar needs silver, and silver is supposedly also a safe haven - though maybe not anymore, as it's so in demand. It was just people grabbing quick money from the oil and gas crisis that ever made it fall. Of course, that play is still on the table, though - and the Yanks are brutal at shorting silver either from 12 pm, 2 pm or 5 pm, always like falling off a cliff. They need to keep doing this to fund their war (not that they ever fund anything, they just make more paper, and empty their vaults of shiny stuff on the quiet - conspiracy theory reference there).

Trump wants his man in charge - and I always remember my mother telling me when I was very young that losing the Shah was a big deal. However, what is the population of Iran going to want now? I have no idea. I pro-western dictator is going to be an unpopular choice, though, and a non-pro-western dictator is not going to please Trump. Meanwhile, bombs will continue to fall on Iran as they have on the Gaza Strip until there is no country left to run. And the winner is… yes Israel again.

I agree, pay off the debt, and the share price will take care of itself.

So are we going to set a field with 3 slips and a gully, wicket keepr standing back?

I'd like 600 please - I want something that’s a dead cert to double in a month.

You know Donald by now - “it's all fake news unless it's come from my gob - truth 'fake news' central - located right next to - or indeed in - my bottom”
