Afternoon Newtothisgame,

In fairness, NONE of us realised that such an accretive deal giving access to 9 more mines was being worked on in the background!

Had we all know that we would have course have added 9 times the time to out buyout guesses :-)

Touche'

:-)

Hi, RMR, you do have a Halifax share dealing account AND a Halifax ISA already?

If not :-(

Someone here this morning said it took 5 months for the change over paperwork to go from A to B ...

I was wrong with the charges for a telephone call trade it is £25 all in.

Hi, Caw1,

Even though I have been watching my account like a hawk, nothing was sold in front of my eyes till 13:20 ish when my stocks and shares holding dropped by 72822, on looking at my ISA it remained as was until 3 min later when it gained 72596!

Now that the transaction PDFs are available to download and look at, you are perfectly correct transactions timed at 11.07 :-)

Thanks Caw,

Good luck mate.

Hi, RMR1969 & RedPand,

Halifax has just done my Bed & ISA!

Sold 72822 shares

Bought 72596 shares

So lost 226 shares, which equates to around £61 which includes the costs of selling and rebuying!

Which last year were £24 might be £18 this year?

So lost overall £43, not bad :-)

Hope that helps RMR,

Good luck
Ian

Hi, RedPanda,

Good to hear, they usually pick a quiet time of day and do try to get the bought shares to match as near as they can the sold shares! less the costs.

We can compare after they have executed the trade!

Normally under £100 lost, see what transpires later on.

All the best :-)

Hi, Year200,

You have a life, outside of EUA ..... :-)

Fully understand, enjoy the new bathroom!

Good luck.

Just wanted to correct my 10:03 post today about Halifax's stock prices, of course, Halifax have the Trading Plan option so you can specify a price range! doh! just forgot about it .....

Hi, Year2000,

Understand your logical move to fund your ISA, I don't understand you selling from your stocks and shares account, even if you will have to pay CGT if you could have afforded to leave the shares there alone?

If you could have afforded, why cut your stock, or is the spare £20,000 cash not really spare long term?

All the best.

Hi, RedPand,

Forgot to say, when the back office dealers get involved, I expect it to have been done by 15:30 today at the latest!

Most times it is within two hours, last year the transaction was timed and executed at 14:59 the same day.

Hi, RedPanda,

This morning due to the start of the new tax year the line was busy and warned me I would have to hang on for around 20 min before my call got answerd.

I just said I would like a Bed & ISA on my account, gave my details and security code, the guy did the calcs to sell £20,000 + costs, and then tried to do the sell and buy trades for me.

Due to the busy conditions, he was unable to do it there and then and has put it through to the back office dealers to do!

Normally it is done as you speak, live on the phone, this time I will have to wait till the dealers have done the good deed!

I have found Halifax very good and even once ended the day with more shares than were sold! not the norm, but they do try to balance what is sold with what is bought if they can!

Even the dealing charges have reduced from £12 to £9, but there is a yearly admin fee now!

Their stock prices are about average on the high street I would say and for long term holding not bad at all.

If you want to be a Gordon Gecko of this world you may have better prices with 'TimeToTrade' or that type of dealing platform where you can specify what price you are prepaid to pay, and not just accept what you are offered.

But as I say, no complaints with Halifax and much nicer to deal with over the phone or by letter than old Equinity, who have just changed into EQi....

All the best
Ian

Bed & ISA on the go with Halifax,

A lovely guy on the other end of the phone, said wow! if you don't mind me saying you have done well there sir....

I think after our nice little chat he might even have been persuaded to have a dabble in EUA himself, haha!

Unable for him to do it manually, and he joked! not that your worried I'm sure, due to the fact at the time the system said NO and due to the spread, it is out with the back office dealers to execute for me!

Good luck everyone, even the sun has come out, will we end the day blue though?

It is looking good so far, and so is Palladium Price Per Ounce $2,716.00 is up + $21.80 :-)

Enjoy the ride...

Morning Captain,
Yes a Blue days sailing would be great!

Sick of chocolate yet haha, used to like it when younger but taste buds now prefer savory over sweet things, too much chocolate and I feel sick, Becky on the other hand only stops when the box is empty, she has even taken a secret chunk out of MY Easter egg given to me by her mum on Sunday, she thinks by replacing the foil back over the egg that I won't notice!

I notice everything, but it does make me laugh.

Women just love chocolate!

All the best Tilly, we both like comeraderay! God knows how you spell that word :-)

Bergcarls, good morning,

Afternoon, Lamstree,

"I will buy my own village when this is all over"

May I suggest this might be in your price range - Jaywick village :-)

'Jaywick is a coastal village in the Tendring district of Essex, England, 2 miles west of Clacton-on-Sea. It lies on the North Sea coast of England, 60 miles from London and 17 miles from Colchester'

' it was again named as the most deprived, according to the indices of deprivation based on several factors including poverty, crime, education and skill levels, unemployment and housing, after being assessed in 2012–13'

https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/jaywick-spend-day-britains-worst-20455131

Just joking ....

All the best

Morning all,
I hope you all had a lovely Easter Sunday, we were 'summoned' round to the in-laws to sit in the garden, thinking the weather was going to be sunny but not too warm we wrapped up well only to swelter, shorts, and a T-shirt would have been better! a lovely day!

I pointed out all the great positive BOD comments at the bottom of the JV RNS that gave the company for a 0.5 mil $ outlay a two-year option over the rite to take up in the future if they wish, the option to partake in a JV over 9 more mines!

I thought this was a fantastic accretive deal for the company, but some looked at this as more expense going forward, and at the wrong time!

Thinking, this is telling us in a no uncertain way, that we are now only selling an asset that will help to fund this longer-term play! and that a full company sale is now unlikely.

I said yesterday, that the company was just making its self much more attractive to any prospective buyer, and currently had NO intention of mining itself these 9 new mines, this was for the NEW company buyer if they wished to take up the offer!

We know the company is up for sale, so why would they think of taking on 9 more mines at this time! as I said THEY are not!

They have just massively increased the future company potential with an unlimited expansion option if required!

All the company is currently doing is making itself IRRESISTIBLE to a major! by having this massive expansion potential!

We have all stated over the last year that the company OR its assets are up for sale? that line was in the past RNS's!

Have you noticed what was in black and white in a more recent RNS?

These words -
James Nieuwenhuys, Eurasia's CEO and Executive Director:

"In my new capacity as CEO and Executive Director I will continue to work with our advisers on the sale process of the Company and its world class assets, Monchetundra and West Kytlim, leveraging my relationships made over more than 40 years in the mining industry and securing a deal beneficial to our shareholders"

And here I highlight-

"I will continue to work with our advisers on the sale process of the Company and its world-class assets"

There is a small word change in that statement, that totally changes its meaning! the word AND which was before OR!

Originally it was the sale of THE company OR its assets! ie one or the other, so you could just get the sale of an asset only!

Or the full company sale which would include its assets!

But to state - " the Company AND its world-class assets" to me, encompasses the lot, in one go!

Make your own mind up :-)

So I think a FULL company sale is coming our way! only my opinion and I like a good conspiracy theory!

However this plays out, we have at least 3 bites of this apple, with ways this could play out!

Enjoy the cold and wet usual Bank Holiday Monday :-)

Good luck all

Catch you at 7 am tomorrow.

Cheers

Ian

No one is denying this is taking longer than we ALL envisaged!

But, when we get such a fantastic RNS like the last one, where the company NOW has the options over JV's on 9 more mines!

You can see why it could be taking a bit longer!

Not forgetting, EUA at this time, has NO intention of mining the mines itself! this is about making the company 'UTTERLY IRRESISTIBLE' to a major!

And yes, mugwump083's post does fit in perfectly with this theory of why it is taking longer, it all makes perfect sense for the bigger picture!

No good looking at this deal from an accountant's point of view, it won't make financial sense, but you would be missing the point!

This makes business sense to think outside the box, this is what Lord Sugar would call Business Acumen! know what any prospective buyer's future needs might be ...... EXPANSION!

And EUA has got access to the 'mother load' ... if required!

This company just happens to NOW be in a fantastic position, the envy of many I would say!

Good morning all

Just to say have a great Easter Sunday and enjoy your selves!

Today's hopeful, and no I mean it sincerely folks :-)

There, that's made everyone smile! and not for the right reasons :-)

Enjoy the day everyone, cheers.

Hairy, SOU had some gas in the middle of a desert miles for anywhere! we were led to believe that it was all one mass-connected gas field, and burnt over 1 million pounds worth of gas in that great flare-off, we even suggested where was the Calor gas tanker hiding, it went on for so long!

Looking back we can all see it was just James the great showman showing off!

He said he could sell it, and couldn't!

Here WE have been sort out to SELL to them, a totally different senario! BUT you know that and just like to stir the pot as usual!

Why not tell everyone her why you were so despised on the SOU board you had to keep on changing your avatar!

Bet that will shut you up for a bit :-)
