Ordinary trades. I wouldn't even know where to begin with something like spread bets. I'm not a gambler. No, it makes no sense to me either.

Pigpen, IG will quote me a price from 7:50 onwards (usually a rubbish one) and allow me to deal but only in BMN, no other stocks, so I've dealt a minute or two before 8am before...and I still can't answer your question. It's not like I'm a premium customer or anything.

Thanks numpty5. Don't worry, your head of comedy job's safe.

I think it might've been the recent Crux interview where Fortune alluded to the cost of developing greenfield from scratch as being around $250m, that's if you can get the funding, the license and waiting goodness knows how long getting the thing built.

That's versus an already producing and very profitable Vametco and Vanchem plus BE, Lemur and soon to be a stake in three battery companies for only 1.29 times as much as that right now. Utterly ridiculous.

We're priced as such a giveaway at the moment it's like we've become a JML commercial or a terrible late night 60 second infomercial on The Knitwear Channel.

"When you buy Bushveld Vametco for only 250 million pounds plus postage and packaging we'll throw in Vanchem absolutely free!"
"But that's not all, Bushveld Energy is also yours to keep."
"But wait, we're not done yet...order before (insert date) and we'll even throw in your own Madagascan coal resource"
"There's even more...love battery companies?...etc etc"
"Call now...blah blah blah."

It's utterly infuriating but there's not a hope in hell that I'll sell at anything resembling these prices.

Bit harsh that, I only said clock minus one letter.

There's a link to it here: https://youtu.be/cZwQN4JpJ8s

8:56 about batteries, the rest a very worrying reminder that mankind ****ing up this planet is a very serious issue that isn't going to go away.

Yep, in fairness I was only doing tiddlers for fear of pressing accept so we'd have been getting very different quotes.

I'd also thought that those end trades were sells. I was doing a few small dummy trades right into the close and from around 4:28 the price was 24-24.4 and stayed that way right until the end. When that 1000 shares went through just before, the bid then was actually 23.7 with the offer still at around 24.4 I think. I take a positive from that that 133k sold in close succession didn't seem to knock the bid back at all. On other days I'm sure they'd have no qualms about hammering us.

Same here, I've still got my Acorn Electron, boxed with outer sleeve, in my cellar - can't bear to part with it. I got it for Christmas in about 1983. I keep hoping to find they're going for a fortune on eBay. They're not.

Too.

What a superb interview with two relaxed, supremely confident people. Fortune and Mikhail really do articulate themselves very well and inspire a huge amount of confidence don't they.

There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that Bushveld will be massive.

Around twenty minutes in it hit me that the company that I invested in six years ago with so many ambitions that seemed very distant is now the market leader, the experts in their field, and crucially with the revenue behind them.

As clichéd as they can be, bulletin boards do love a good Warren Buffet quote don't they.

"If a business does well, the stock eventually follows."

To damn right it will.

I did a B&I with IG for 70,000 shares around 20 months ago and can see they charged me a flat fee of £40 plus 0.05p on the spread.

These were his comments after Fortune's last interview back in May: "Fortune is one of the smartest guys we have interviewed for sure. Quietly assured and looking ahead, whilst building a company in what other see is a difficult commodity. We like Bushveld."

Very much looking forward to hearing what F and M have to say today.

The chap second from the right looks familiar.

My post was correct at the time, and for the preceding 20 mins, but yeah, has since changed.

For the last 20 mins IG have been quoting me 0.1 of a pence below in the indicated ask of 23.6 for up to a whopping 1000 shares. If I dare to ask for even one extra share then the price rises by 0.7 of a pence.*

Meanwhile....
Vaneck are now up to 17,253,125...an extra 2.2 million. Well, who saw that coming? (insert irony emoji)

Well done to everyone who's taken the trouble to email their complaint - I've also just emailed them. 30 complaints about the same company on the same morning will probably scream out as being the collective action of a bulletin board, but sod it, it might grab their attention and it beats sitting here doing nothing while we continue to be pickpocketed by a bent market.

My guess would be one of the ones from yesterday*: this one maybe

*Disclaimer: what the hell do I know? Always read the label.

...However, I wonder whether that increase of 500k is actually the 500k trade from Monday and their published holding doesn't yet show today's mega trades?
