Couldn't agree more DGR.

Dividends for the previous year amounted to 74p which provides a dividend yield of 26.9% off the present share price. Spectacular capital gains to be had on top.

Two requirements
1. A resolution
2. A little patience

imho

How do you reconcile what you have just said with the fact that the Ukranians had been handed sanctions relief as a bargaining tool? That's a big bargaining chip.

Should be interesting to see how the Austrian Chancellor is received by Putin. Not the most high profile of all the European leaders but Austria is a Neutral country in terms of Nato membership.

CWWX they are engaged in discussions with 2 auditors at the minute (courtesy of CR888's reply from Investor Relations) It's only a couple of million £ contract for whoever takes up the reigns and a smart bit of business imho if you see an imminent end to this conflict (as I do).

POG and FXPO both blue today gives you the flavour.

By paying the ransom do you think you will stop it, or encourage more and more ransomware attacks.

And having been hit once and having paid out. What do you think you will do next time?

Virtuous cycle for Cyber security firms imho.

Cheaper getting yourself good AI security imho

Great start for this one and I did say it had potential to surprise. many, many youtube trailer viewings and combined with the Easter holidays.

*Nato on its doorstep and reinforcing its positions
*Finland, Sweden, Bosnia and Kosova now looking to join Nato also

It's a good article that highlighting what happened previously with Afghanistan.

Given the fact that the Russians missed out on the quick element of surprise, "in and out" win they had hoped for, and given the enormous size of the country of Ukraine itself it is clear to see that they simple do not possess the military staff and resources needed to be able to take and hold the full or even a majority swathe of the country. Silver medal would be in the East or South for saving face win? if they are lucky.

I however wouldn't bank on that what with the tactics, resilience and success of the Ukranian army to date as an inferior force both in terms of numbers and arms. Now those tactics are coupled with a further injection of western re-arming and weaponry, of increasing sophistication: Bayraktar TB2 Drones, Kamikaze drones, Anti-air missile defence systems, Anti-ship missiles, Long range artillery, tanks, armoured vehicles, small arms. Seized Russian military hardware there also to turn on the aggressors (e.g thermobaric weapons)

This for me ends in a peace deal imminently or at most has one more battle which I think the Ukranians would win given the now more level playing field.

Don't forget over and above all this
*Tough economic sanctions on Russia
*Tough sanctions on Oligarchs and all those involved, and connected with either.
*International condemnation and isolation
* Persona non grata re diplomatic expulsions
* War crimes investigations ongoing

A bit sly in that they tried to sneak in another one very late and when everybody had switched off. £384K at 300.02p Buy at 300.02 masked as an unknown.

Might end up being the architect of his own downfall Mr Putin.

Tried to prevent Nato on his doorstep in Ukraine.

Shoots himself in the foot and convinces Finland (direct neighbour) to accelerate it's application (and can you blame them after Bucha, Marioupal and today) Nato prepared to "cover them" whilst applications ongoing. Sweden which also borders also considering after upsurge in public opinion. Bosnia and Kosovo also close to officially requesting membership.

Catch you Monday.

On the UT

We did do well out of this arrangement.

"Since that announcement, the rouble has strengthened sharply against the dollar. Five thousand roubles was worth around $52 on March 25 and around $63 on Thursday.

Gold prices on the international market have remained stable at around $60 a gram, or $1,900 an ounce."

With the improving Ruble the Russian bank was paying more than th international dollar equivalent. That's how I read it.

it would seem that in selling gold to the Central Bank of Russia, what with the strengthening ruble, did we make more than we would have done on the international market.
