Further research shows that Perrin's idea is not directly applicable.

It might be an addition for recycling.

Further to my earlier email,

Europium in old gadgets

The idea comes from Marie Perrin, a doctoral chemist at ETH Zurich, who discovered a shortcut for prying europium out of discarded fluorescent lamps.

Her tweak replaces the hundred plus solvent extractions usually needed for the job with one quick reaction.

“Rare earth metals are hardly ever recycled in Europe,” noted Victor Mougel, professor of inorganic chemistry at ETH Zurich.

French-American chemist makes major breakthrough in recycling of rare earths

Rare earth elements are crucial for defence, auto and electronic industries and have become a geopolitical.

Using sulphur extraction method used in oil industry.

Compared to NESF, they continue to buy their own shares. That indicates a confidence that was not there for NESF.

I hope I am correct!

jr

We don't know! The two funds NESF and FSFL are very similar with one bigger.

We will know when they publish fy result on 24th.

I am hoping not!

Being dragged down by sector woes.

Took the opportunity to add a few more.

jr

Got out at 51.

Debating that very point!

jr

Trotsky, They don't need to! They have no intention of launching a bid! Good grief, facing real investors? Never!

They are in it to cause some mayhem and make a quick buck while the chicken are running around!

But my plan (of many moons ago) has not changed. Bag 1.5p and move on. Just seems to be taking longer.

jr

Like many here I am very much at the end of my patience but am willing to wait till March update ti give PIP credit for pointing out last year divi declaration. After that....

jr

We don't know yet how much they will raise. This allows existing shareholders to add at NAV, which is what I was looking at doing. If the past is any guide, this fixed interest share will continue to be in demand and this will create the premium. If not, they will be unlikely to issue more shares.

jr

It's only there to cover the cost.

jr

Will probably take 12-24 months to feed through fully.

Not hanging around that long! LOL!

Will be out once I get the special 1.5p!

Anyone know when that might be?

jr

Looks like that was because id was dropped from FTSE 250.

If they carry on paying the divi, I will keep it, 12% is not to be sneezed at!

jr

I would like to say thankyou to Margherita Della Valle for a great job We have gone from 62.4 to over £1.

I wish you continued success in 2026!

Makes my portfolio look much better even if I am still under water!

Unusually large volume, over 9 million near the lows sp.

I see Jefferies have joined the 5%ers.

We should see some action soon, though what is anyone's guess.

jr

Not sure they can do much. Unloved sector, government uncertainty, many peers also in trouble (90% down in ERCOT).

Who will want to invest here?

The only thing is bang a few heads, take a % and bugger off.

Broomtree,

I agree. My exit plans are turned to dust. No point in hasty action. Will have to wait and see.
