It looks like the low of around 1p in July 2019 may be the springboard to 5 or 6p+ moving into 2021. 'May' being the operative word. It all depends on the EV trend and other developments in the graphene space.

Disappointing to see all this, as I used to be a shareholder in sml for years.

I think Peter Wale was at gas storage AIMer InfraStrata plc. Dunno if he still is. Currently, their SP is virtually the same as SML's.

A speculative investment??? You do realize North America is over the border?

I held 5 million shares back in 2015 at under 1/10th of a pence. Wish I still did. The SP will fluctuate, but Greatland, as its name suggests, is heading for a great future. Punters have just got to be patient. Your time is coming at some point during this decade.

Hydrogen's a good energy carrier, but it needs a lot of of energy to produce by separating the hydrogen molecule from the more complex molecules into which it binds--in natural gas, urea, water, etc. Its development is like putting a pound into something and getting 30p back every time. The plain fact is there's nothing as good as hydrocarbons in terms of their energy denseness, but the world is clearly moving away from them in the years and decades ahead. EVs appear to be the only game in town for now.

Like the virus, the SP peaked at 2 quid and is now following a downward cycle. Certain covid19-related events can boost the SP again, but the trend is generally down in relation to that. From official government figures, 0.06% of the population have died from this SARS-related corona virus so far in the UK. In other countries, the percentage figures for deaths are similar or lower. The populations of the world have been spooked and duped and a lot have lost their livelihoods.

A low carbon future means a significantly smaller world population, and not much commerce. Parroting the green low carbon consensus does nothing for your brain cells, Mr Looney. Nothing green can match the energy surpluses of hydrocarbons. That's just reality. Without energy surpluses, the future looks grim. Unless the world population falls by 90%.

In brine terms of course.

Cornwall. (Insert smiley face here). It would be good if Cornish Lithium throw up a few Cinovecs.

Lol, it's probably all of the above. kzg is like a 33/1 longshot at Aintree, with Frankie Detorri's cousin sitting back-to-the-front in the saddle on a promising colt.

I appreciate your optimism, Fortitude, and I'm told a commodity boom may be on the way over the next few years, but this is a daft move, reminiscent of directors with their snouts in the trough making out they're actually doing something for a living. And when I saw Alien Minerals and Arian Silver mentioned in relation to a director in the RNS, I gave out an audible groan. I understand that rare earths and the like are found in heavy mineral sands, but diamonds and diamond shares have been in a slump for ages. I remember Petra Diamonds being £1.50, and now you can actually rub two pennies together to buy one of their shares. This news is all very disappointing for a variety of reasons already mentioned by posters, but I hope to be proven wrong.

Sometimes companies and people drift through life achieving very little and then out of the blue a lightning bolt of success hits them and things are never quite the same again. I came here initially for the [mothballed] fluorspar projects, but Pyramid, Nevada, may deliver a lot more in time -- in terms of attracting the big boys, especially as confidence in governments dwindle and gold prices go through the roof.

The SP's peak at just over 2 quid has coincided with the rush to try and get back to some kind of normality at the start of June, with governments realizing their lockdowns have done irreparable damage to the productive economy, by a virus that has killed around 0.0006% of the UK population. If that isn't madness personified, I dunno what is.

Try and resist FOMO after shares spike, because more times than not they plummet the next day as punters take profits. Getting in at a low is obviously preferential, but determining the low can be tricky at times. Ultimately, the only way to learn is to make mistakes.

In this current climate, things are not so rosy as you paint, as everything is connected globally. BT doesn't exist in its own universe. You've got to weigh up capital formation in the coming years versus the possibility of nationalisation when it comes to this share.

I bought into this in mid March and this is going up because investors are looking for SP appreciation instead of income (dividends, good luck with that). Most people will still physically go around supermarkets for some time yet, but the long term trend is more and more ordering online, like you say. As for this virus, like the 1968/69 Hong Kong virus that killed 1 million worldwide, and tens of thousands in the UK, it will fade into memory like all previous pandemics.

They've been in a Euro straightjacket, that's true, but on the other hand the European Central Bank has been the only buyer of its bonds forcing bond yields down so that the Italian government can continue (on life support). Ordinarily, Italian 10 year bonds in this environment should be yielding at least 9%, not 1.77%. As for Greece's, their 10 yr bonds should be like Turkeys, at around 12%, not 2.1%

Whether people like it or not, the world economy is still tied to the fate of hydrocarbons, even the lithium industry. Big Oil's had its proverbial head cut off thanks to governments shutting down economies due to this virus and destroying the prospects of companies, industries and ultimately people's futures around the globe. Only when there's more faith in the future will shares like EMH, which I've held for years btw, go up. If you want to make a fast buck, try an AIM Biotech company doing something related to covid19.

13p a share is better than nothing, as is the case with 40% of current ftse100 constituents. Derivatives of oil are used in just about everything, from fertilisers to the chair you're sitting on. If oil companies go to the wall, virtually everything else does too. So, weighing it up, I'd stay invested.

Don't trust anyone on here, including me.

Having said that: It's worth a punt, and the assays look good. Sorry for the old chestnuts, but some you win, some you lose, but don't bet the house. I got very lucky on solg and GGP, and lost out on CRA and SXX. Third time lucky on the tears of the sun, even though the flourspar initially interested me? Who knows.
