If you think back to the last time that there was a news blackout. This was when we were actively seeking to acquire the diamonds from the Zimbabwe government. AP said that PIs were pestering officials in Zimbabwe which delayed the process. It went quiet and many posters stated that we weren't getting the diamonds, it was all made up.....
We now have the diamonds and there being cleaned and some cut and polished for sale. We know that this process takes some time.
Occam's razor...... the most likely explanation is the correct one!
The longer the delay the more diamonds are cut polished and auctioned is my conclusion.
Sitting back and waiting for the inevitable RNS, diamonds sold for X amount of money;-)
In answer to your first question: In all probability yes we will get RNS this week based on Rappaport auction. Evidence suggests that some of the diamonds in this auction are Vast's
Your 2nd question: no! I have never posted on a share that I am not invested in; what would be the point of that! I only post under this avatar. If you check my posting history, I also let people know when I buy in when I sell. Got 20million @ Prem .024 and sold at .4 a couple of years later.
I'm now heavily invested here as I believe the fundamentals of good. There is lots of news due on many fronts of which is evidenced in RNS's and social media interviews ect...
There are some good posters on here but don't be sucked into thinking that the ones with the loudest voices who profess to be diamond whisperers are to be trusted!
Diamonds will be safe in Dubai. No one will be stupid enough to trouser one!
In Dubai, industrial theft, which includes employee theft from a workplace, is treated seriously and carries significant penalties under UAE law. Sentences can range from imprisonment for several years to potentially life
How much of the fund raise will for diamond cutting and polishing?
What is the cost per carat for this?
How many special diamonds will be cut and polished?
How many specials will there be?
ASI pointed out that money is needed up front for this to happen. I wonder when we will be informed of the above. my take is the RNS is added proof of quality diamonds to be sold in private auctions!
Going to be very interesting here. Still expecting 2-4p short term
