This was kindly posted by somebody on the PRE forum.

............here's an article with some positivity regarding the UK's economic future.
It doesn't change our investment here and the ongoing turmoil the war has created, but does allow one to appreciate that, whatever is happening in the now, good things can still happen in the near future.

Nice to read an article that's more positive regarding the countries future :-)

On a bit of a tangent as we wait for, hopefully, company transforming news. Has anybody on here looked at any of the other systems of monetary exchange that are being developed?
I've been reading up on Ripple, which uses it's own (XRP) crypto and is an exchange system still utilising blockchain. There seems to be a bit of a buzz around Ripple, although there is a court case currently being constructed against them.
Any views from the more learned on here?

I love the Rocky analogy, Tilly.
Putin is a puny version of Ivan Drago. When everything is going wrong, he's losing the fight and the people are booing him, he stands up and say's "I do it for me". Truly a mirror of Putin's motivation for this SMO.

I was in the forces in the eighties, and in the early part one could sense the anticipation of a nuclear attack. There seemed to be this ever present dark cloud hovering above us. When Two Tribe by FGTH was played loud on base, many of us would perk up, as the intro siren was the same as our bases attack alarm :-)
Most of the exercises included NBC suits being donned, and going through various decontamination drills. That experience alone made me realise that you just have to get on with your life, it may never happen. What's the point in being scared of death if one is scared of living?
Heavy **** for a Monday morning :-)

No Point worrying about things completely out of ones control.
Most times a threat is sent, the sender doesn't really want to see it through.
Putin's scared, he'll do what he has to do.
Enjoy the day

Uncanny, as I read the previous post, "I Need a Maid" by Neil Young was playing in the background.
A brilliant song. We all need a maid :-)

Really appreciate the voice of experience and knowledge that you bring here Keith, but the line "As I said on Wednesday " Perhaps now the whingers on here could back off and let the KAV team get on with the job." is wishful thinking ;-)
I'm very excited about where we may go on this journey.

Consistent message, consistent growth, consistent progress.
More than happy to sit this out, whenever that may be.
Feel for those that were counting their chickens and need the cash, but that's life.
You pays your money, yous take your chances.

I'm hoping for the bare minimum of info released tomorrow. Sit tight without fright, it will be all right on the night.
We can't do anything about the hysterics on here. At least they don't matter ;-)

It almost appears that peeps are trying to tempt downtrodden LTHs' to part with their shares by providing a daily inflated SP sweetener. No doubt it will drop back down last knockings. It appears that after months of trading at support and the daily end of day spiking, the opposite technique is being played out now.

Nice opening today, as well!!! ;-)

In light of the developing conflict, I think the BOD are playing this perfectly, "keep your head down and quietly keep working".
Obviously we all wish the asset sale had completed before the invasion, but I can't see a better way forward, in the short term, than the approach our BOD are taking.
Potential rewards are huge, we just need to hunker down and wait it out.
Good luck to all LTHs'

Happypennies,
Both represent decent risk vs reward in my eyes. I've had a significant holding in Eurasia since 2018. Personally I'm not expecting the asset sale until Putin is gone, which maybe by the end of the year, but maybe not. Power could reasonably show significant gains by the end of the year. If I wasn't already holding, I'd play heavier on Power for the short term.
What was the phrase? A potential company changer :-)

...........that Vlad is starting to lose his supposed overseas allies as the domestic fallout in their own countries heats up.
Be interesting to see if he has the legs to keep this going for the rest of the year. Can't see it myself, as the voices within his own country are getting louder and more numerous. There's a tipping point, when a dictatorship no longer has control over the populations unrest. It's been seen so many times over the last twenty years around the world. The only way out to now benefit Russia is to overthrow Putin and spend the next decade repairing the damage he's inflicted on their overseas trade. I feel for the Russians.

From some of our recently departed who always displayed such stoicism. The Queen, Henry Allingham, etc.
This war will take many twists and turns and many seem to be panicked by recent developments that haven't panned out how they had thought, based on nothing more than their wishful thinking. Nothing has changed, just sit tight, it will all be OK in the end.
Enjoy the glorious weather, that many no longer can.

The following is from a BBC article discussing the power balance between China and Russia and how Russia is looking to China as the future consumer of its resources:
"It's very difficult to change the direction of gas flows. The Soviet Union and Russia spent decades building networks of pipelines to Europe and that's where the physical infrastructure is. It's very difficult to reorient Russian energy markets towards Asia."
So, the question is: How else will Russia be able to assist China in its nearer term energy demands? ;-)

I realise lots bought into Eurasia off the back of the proposed asset sale, and it is primarily the reason for the large fluctuations we've seen over the last two years. I've been in since 2018.
The Russian government have been quite clear regarding restrictions to foreign companies attempting to cut and run. Nothwithstanding that, the same government have been actively strengthening their evolving Brics economic ties ( the same Brics members that are the "interested parties"), I don't see how the medium term prospects of the company are anything but excellent.
I don't see the asset sale as the be all and end all, If it occurs great. If it doesn't occur, due to government restrictions on movement of assets, there are a multitude of other ways of realising the value of the assets in the ground without a sale, but utilising industry partners in various guises. However, my instinct is that the government will want to encourage the asset sale as a great way of cementing the new economic power base that is being created involving China and India.
