That's very unfair to say when hundreds of people are down at this stage, and when - for the most part - it's because they heard about BMN too late.

I'm a super LTH but I can honestly say it's down to sheer luck that I heard about Bushveld when I did. Without hearing about it I obvs couldn't have researched it. It was luck.

and it's about 18% up from recent lows of 11p.

Hopefully this means the seller has gone. If so, I can honestly see this reaching 20p very fast!

Superb news!!

Finally.

How is it even this low still? We should be at 20p+ already

(well higher but you know what I mean - back to pre-covid levels at the v least)

and yet somehow people are selling at this price. I honestly don't get it. Makes about as much sense as that institutional investor selling at 270p and below - they'll regret it!

has just gone through

Yes, I agree that there presumably will be lots of news closely stacked together - that's often how it's been with Bushveld in the past. You think nothing is going on for a few weeks perhaps and then you suddenly stellar news, sometimes across a series of RNSs.

I very much the Enerox RNS as a sign. Because they could've pulled the trigger on that months ago if they wanted to. For some reason they waited until now. Just when we discover the Eskom tender is open / happening this month!

Being honest, I would take 200p because I believe that's a fair offer. One day this probably will be worth more and trading higher than 200p but I couldn't complain haha

Wow - what a fascinating read!

Found this bit particularly interesting:
"OTC BB market makers (MMs) don’t use fundamental and technical analysis. However, what they do realize is a lot of dumb money does use this newest nitch charting or TA (Technical Analysis) to run a stock either up or down. To the MMs this is like taking candy from a baby. Simply they will paint the tape and use whatever tactic to affect the charting bands. Thus the public and dumb money they will have eating out of their hands. Effectively the MMs can show a strong stock growing weak by manipulating the close price in order to generate selling volume, delaying trading time to manipulate trading activities, or even stalling the ask without honoring orders to hold a stock price."

What was the ex-MM's advise on how to win the game:

Find a great share that you truly believe in, accumulate at the / close to the bottom, and hold on despite all the psychological warfare and doubt MMs deliberately try to cause.

"We're off! Work has begun at our 2nd site in Oxford, where we are creating the world's largest #hybridbattery as part of
@ESOxford. We are combining @WartsilaEnergy's lithium-ion tech with an @InvinityEnergy vanadium flow battery to support a #netzero future. https://energysuperhuboxford.org"

Thanks for sharing, Introv, and yes I completely agree - it's great to see we're not the only ones talking about vanadium batteries any more!

Far from it!

Thanks SirSwish,
Don't blame you for disliking the mining sector but I believe BMN is different because there are so few vanadium producers and I genuinely believe vanadium will become very high in demand as we move towards greener energy sources. Also worth noting that, unlike most miners, it's strategically buying up stakes in VRFB manufacturers who would ordinarily be amongst their list of customers. They bought a ~9% stake in Invinity (Ticker: IES) and recently bought a stake in another company called Enerox, and both of those companies will now use Bushveld as their first port of call. And last thing I'll say here is that it has a very clever CEO who has proven time and time again what a fantastic negotiator and strategic thinker he is - proven by how Bushveld's Net Asset Value has increased massively over the past few years.

I will certainly look into those ETFs you mentioned. I'm just very cautious because some of these "ethical" funds aren't as ethical as they claim to be!

DLG board since it linked in nicely with something someone had said but I'm really glad to have had the opportunity to do this. Because Direct Line have just surprised the market with the resumption of the dividend (after suspending it a few months back) on the very same day BP have cut theirs, and after soooo many other companies have cut or scrapped their respective dividends, meaning loads of funds/trusts/investors will be investing there in the coming days and weeks. And some of them will read the lse bulletin board before they do and may hear about Bushveld for the first time.

Imagine if that was the beginning of a new institutional investor heavily investing in Bushveld. Wishful thinking perhaps but it's possible.

Alfa - that's an interesting point because I've seen it on plenty of occasions where sells have been "deleted" the following day!

No idea of how that works but it would lend credibility to your theory there.

SirSwish - I've been looking into ethical investing too so yes I was really pleased to see that also.

If you're looking for a share with excellent green credentials, I would check out Bushveld Minerals (BMN), because they're producing vanadium for Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries (VRFBs) which are needed for the world to move over to green energy. Currently fossil fuel plants are still having to run even when solar and wind farms are operating as part of the grid because they're needed for when the sun doesn't shine and the wind stops blowing. But the future will be different with VRFBs and that will drive vanadium demand up and there currently isn't enough supply of this unique metal. I'll stop there because this is the wrong forum for it but it honestly is worth checking out at the very least.

12.6p to buy now

Hahaa know what you mean but that's not how sellers work. There was a DLG seller suppressing the share price beneath 280p for weeks. As soon as he cleared off it jumped up 10-15% and it's now 20-25% higher than what they were selling at. And you can't help but wonder 'why were you so desperate to sell?' but that's clearly not how they operate. They decide to sell and they go for it.

Another good example is the Neil Woodford fund that sold out of SNG at the lowest part of their share price cycle and that's multi-bagged since then and the fund has completely missed out.

My point is that some of these institutional investors have no idea what they're doing.

Will look to do another top up next Friday.

I noticed a buying opportunity at DLG at 260pish, starting buying around 270p, and now that's risen to 330p+. Intend to sell a good chunk there next Friday and reinvest here because this is an even bigger buying opportunity. Also, whereas DLG was me being opportunistic, this is also a real investment for me.

The future of vanadium is so damn bright I want to load up as many Bushveld shares as I possibly can before the revolution. Soz to sound rampy but I still believe this will be 100p+ one day.

That's another ~17% from here

21.8p to be paid in dividends (both the interim dividend and the special dividend) to those invested here 9 days from now.

Feel confident this will continue to rise another 20% / 70p from here between now and then.
