Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
@ Blueboy28
I have no idea what you are talking about. But if you are suggesting that i "reported" you, at least say it. Maybe, just maybe, the regulators decided to remove the post that you are talking about, and are actually doing their job.
Why don't you post the same again and see what happens. Maybe your recommended tip goes against LSE rules. Although i notice that your earlier post (the one that i replied to), is still there.
Bu then again, you weren't ramping in that post.
For what it's worth, i didn't report your post. So, please get your facts right. But I'm now scared of you, as you called me out. I'm shaking with fear.
@ lindon. 17.05, 2nd march.
""""anyone with any pennies left in here might be better advised to reclaim them whilst they still can.""""
i assume that you have sold up, or were never invested in recent times? which one is it?
and please don't post that you're still a holder, but are so far down, it's not worth selling. if you think bmn are going **** up, why would you not rescue "a few pennies?" better something, than nothing.
@ Lindon.
You seem aggrieved.
If all that you post is true, then surely that is great news for BMN? And their shareholders.
As i mentioned earlier, Borromeo upsetting the apple cart. Why would he?
Unless you're suggesting some sort of takeover bid for peanuts, that was put in place years ago.
@ Lindon. In reference to the MUST RNS 21.02.24.
I do not remember Borromeo selling down his shares, so let's assume they were transferred to Acacia.
Acacia have a 7% holding in BMN.
You mention Oak Trust, and their involvement with Orange Trust. Orange have a 6% holding in BMN.
If Acacia and Orange are in bed together, this makes Borromeos holding in BMN even larger. Albeit, under seperate entities. Thereby making his holding in MUST even larger.
Now, if Borromeo wants to take his holding in MUST out from under the BMN umbrella, an RNS would have to be issued. BMN would have to issue a similar RNS, as their holding would be reduced.
I'm not sure sure if this makes sense to anyone, but it does to me.
But what this has to do with FM, i have no idea.
@ Lindon.
A very good point. If i remember correctly Borromeo was listed as one of the biggest holders in BMN 6+ years ago. His holding was transferred to another company, possibly Acacia, and listed as such. I'm sure he had 75M shares. I could be wrong.
This begs the question, why would one of the largest single BMN holders, withhold agreed payment of funds? Could it be something to do with the MUST RTO by Cykel?
More questions, but i cannot see Borromeo as a very long term holder, upsetting the apple cart.
@ Lindon
Whilst the situation is not ideal, surely it's clear that SPR are on board. I don't imagine it is Acacia who are funding the Mokopane/Vanchem buyout, via SPR. The funding agreement with Acacia was struck at the end of November, i think.
@ HalfManHalfGoat.
I can see the abject disappointment in your post. I know that you are gutted that more funds were received. And not, as well. Glass half empty for you, IMO. SPR are on board, and i imagine that hurts you.
I guess the holders here will have to put up with you for the next few months, at least. What's the next negative for you?
@ Blueboy.
Wrong board.
If you want to preach about how fantastic you are about the demise of other companies, go to their board. I'm sure you'll be well received.
This is BMN, okay? The clue lies right at the top of the page.
@ Wakey.
Acacia may be in default, but the funds are not with BMN, yet.
If they cannot, or will not, meet the agreement, how long will it take BMN to get the funds?
@ Witty.
Non-refundable loan, should the funds from SPR not arrive. That speaks volumes.
They offer you a bone with SPR, then snatch it away with Acacia.
Give us the reason why Acacia want a 2 month extension, CC!!!!
@ Killerpidgeon.
Wearing my hopeful hat, i do not see why SPR would hand over 6 million of their own cash, if there was any doubt that the remaining funds would be provided. It makes no sense. I'm sure that CC said at the last investor presentation, that SPR would fund the remaining, if need be. My words, not CC.
Having said that, why the delay?
@ Redceo. Thank you. In the absence of all the vitriol being thrown around, it's nice to see that pleasantries, and differing views can be exchanged.
@ Oli G.
Not in my world. If anyone thinks that this pensioner is going in early, not taking breaks, and running up and down garden paths, they are mistaken. I'm certain that i cannot be sacked for doing my job.
@ GJL9.
Grow up.
I post as i find. And what i generally find, is in my office. And i speak as a blue collar worker. It may not be correct nationally, but i do know hundreds of posties, who see what i do..
Unless you have something that may contradict what i post, don't bother. You just make yourself look stupid.
@ DerekR.
Whilst i accept that you need people at the top to make decisions, and paid accordingly, to continually reward these extremely high earners with shares, bonuses, etc, is nothing short of disgusting.
To then suggest, that the plebs at the bottom will be allowed to benefit from a profit making company, is insulting.
So, I kill myself to make RM a profit, and the fat cats cream off even more. No thanks.
@ Time2Kill.
I didn't actually say "my office" is running ok. But how many offices aren't? You stipulate "most". Have you got a figure?
Let's not forget that all offices have duties, and while some may fail, many will complete. I'm not saying that this is right, but the staff raising issues will be the failed duties, not the completed ones.
Could the failures be attributed to staff "not working"? Talking, messing about, smoking etc.
Could the completed duties be attributed to coming in early, not taking breaks, etc.
And then we have the managers who fully advocate job and finish, including ghosting overtime. Would this not contribute to clear office policy?
Me? I just carry on. I do my time and go home. If you knew what i know, and saw what i see, you'd be pretty shocked.
Management issues, not blue collar worker issues.
@ hurtsparrow.
Over 1,000 delivery offices, so about 1,500 managers. And 100,000 plus posties.
How many of these managers and posties are not speaking up? And if they are not, why not?
For a 1 hour programme, not a lot will be covered. You will get your "my office is in a right state", because of vacancies, sickness etc. But what about the offices that do not fall into this category? This programme will be about all that is wrong within "some" delivery offices and mc's. But not what is right in "some".
@ Broch.
Panorama next week?
Issues have been raised within Parliament, and the apparent problems are/have not been resolved. Nor will they.
Royal Mail will get what they want.
Interestingly, from what i've read about Panorama, is about the people they are speaking to. There was no mention of any blue collar workers.
And will any managers speak about outdoor actuals? Of course they won't.
I'll definitely watch it though. It will be interesting.
@ DerekR.
Thanks
@ Broch.
There is a local unit that works from a MC and their times have not been changed. Apart from 30 minutes later on Saturday, to bring all D.O times into line. There is no storage point for this offices mail within the MC. So, it just gets pushed into the office.
D.O's further out should be less affected by the new start times.
