@Setcentric Unless I'm misunderstanding this, could this be the bit of text that you're looking for:

'Look out for bid notifications on the relevant sites – Eskom, CIDB, WBG, AfDB, etc'

No, I'm sorry, my own link didn't work the second time round even though I can see the full article in front of me. Cookies I suppose.
Agreed, an FT recommend is a huge, highly credible endorsement.

This is the author.

I'm not a subscriber but see if this works for the full article - it does for me.

I wonder how many people here have actually had Covid because I have and I feel very strongly about this. I followed all the rules and did everything right and still caught it. I even work from home - I barely even leave the house!

I'm extremely fit, well I was before I caught it. One day I was well enough to run six miles. Four days later I was lying in bed so weak that I couldn't even pick up a drink next to me. My daughter was frightened I was going to die. I knew I wasn't but I just didn't have the strength to tell her.

That was in November. Eight weeks on I'm still out of breath just walking up the stairs. I wake up tired every day. I repeat, I'm fit, I'm a marathon runner (well I was), I never get ill and it still did this to me. Covid it seems doesn't give a stuff about any of that. I don't think I was ever in danger of being hospitalised and hopefully I'll fully recover but who knows?

I live in one of the London boroughs with the highest levels of infection/arrogance/stupidity/therulesdontapplytome.

Yesterday, I went to get a chest X-ray to find out if there's any damage to my lungs.

As expected, about half of the people on the bus still weren't wearing a mask, just like some people still don't in supermarkets near me, just like the people nearby who didn't think the restrictions over Christmas applied to them, I mean how dare they be inconvenienced? It is a lot to ask after all.

To anyone who thinks this is all just too big a sacrifice to have to make, apart from your truly offensive level of selfishness, good luck if it comes to having to make your antibodies the hard way like I did. Trust me, it isn't much fun.

A rising bid of 19.415 into the close and NT to buy any more than 100 shares for the last ten mins. However, they would quote me to buy 30001...20p.

Farewell 2020 - you've been an absolute bag of rubbish.

Wishing you a fruitful, happy and healthy New Year.

I now make it what appears to be 8x250k, 1x350k and 5x500k buys (plus the opening 500k UT). I notice a few of the trades were OILQ which appears to be a form of NT.

I reserve the right to have got this hopelessly wrong but it looks to me like someone thinks 20p is a very good starting point.

It looks to me like we've had three of those so far.

And NT to buy yet again, however they will quote me for 1 share above market size...20.95p

Worth a watch. V gets a very brief mention from around 5:30 just as the line goes a bit wobbly.

At the end they mention that this was recorded mid December.

DBB - Yes, I'm pretty sure FeV hit around $130-140 kg

Well I don't know about the rest of you but I'd say this week has gone rather well!

I wish you all a very happy and healthy Christmas, and to anyone who's used this forum during 2020 to lie, cheat and steal, remember, "tonight you will be visited by three spirits..."

There's an article from today tucked away in that Asian Metal site which I can't seem to access but the headline tells you as much as you need to know:
'European Ferrovanadium prices keep increasing'.

The bid was rising into the close - up to 18p and went NT to buy even 50 shares.

I noticed that too. I can sell no more than 100 shares at the moment, buy no more than 1 unless I go outside market size??

And another small Invinity one. It's a few weeks old but I don't remember hearing about this one before.

Alfa, very much so. I have paid for and own those shares. Like I said, just a simple ISA account. I think it must just be an anomaly of that provider.

Alfa, IG.

CC, that's a shame - there was me thinking I was special!

Alfa, I've mentioned this before but I'm allowed to buy BMN (only BMN) pre-open and have never understood why. I'm just an ordinary punter with a relatively modest holding in a stocks and shares ISA yet I can buy before the market opens. I genuinely have no idea why??

I never do though because it's almost always more expensive than waiting a few minutes. Oh, and I've already got about as many as I can afford.

I still don't get it though.
