Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Big rise today. Looks like a leak - maybe some news Wednesday?
Anyway I am staying in here, think it is way undervalued.
This looks a really good buy. Can't understand why there isn't more interest in this - either in buying or in chat on here. It is after all a well known company.
Fortunately I held off buying as the price went down again today, although it was hardly a bad half-yearly report.
This is the article by Ian Cowie, but you need to have a log-in.

He quoted 5.3% Dividend which is what caught my attention. I have since read up on it, and the profit looks good.
Yes, there was a good write-up in the Sunday Times which brought this to my attention. Think I will be investing in my income portfolio, with a decent chance of price recovery.
LovelyBoy:
I had the same issues as you with the split, and also the odd wording of 'Liquidity'. I feel that they aren't going to sell the assets, but a share in the new subsiduary company or companies. Whatever it is I don't think it will be simple!
Consider this scenario. There is a dividend announced which pushes up the share price. You sell, the price drops after the ex-divi date, and you buy back the same number of shares within 30 days. You have taken cash out, but under the bed & breakfast 30 day rule the transactions are regarded as not have happened, and you pay CGT on eventual disposal based on the initial purchase price.
That suggests that you may not have to pay tax on the profits taken. This doesn’t apply to me as I fortunately have all my shares in ISAs, but someone in this position may want to get the answer.
"the Directors and the Officers of Eurasia ...... are focused on the liquidity event along with all shareholders".
A slightly odd way of expressing it, and stated in the announcement about 'carving out' the company into separate parts, so maybe what they will be doing is selling off part of each of these new companies, rather than selling assets?
From Ethio's post:
Blackrock - "They're the richest company on the planet worth something like 10 trillion which is astounding."
They are a very interesting company, and they do have about $10 trillion under management, but they are only ranked 192 in USA largest companies, and their income is small relatively speaking. What surprised me is that the owner Larry Fink is 'only' reckoned to be worth about $1billion, which suggests either he is good at hiding his wealth or he maybe isn't such a manipulator that he is being accused of.
Not so simple! Any shares you buy back within 30 days will be classed as being bought at the original share price, and the tax won't be liable until you sell the shares again. You may be able to use this to defer some of tax until a following year and thus use another tax allowance - if the dividend dates work out favourably.
Use Bed & ISA wherever you can, and use up all the family's ISA allowances.
