My understanding is that they'll all eventually go up together -- gold, the stock markets (more especially in the USA), etc, as the currencies fall due to a lack of confidence in governments and a bonds sell-off. That might be a year or two away yet.

What a lovely society that will be. These shares have had a nice run-up on anticipation, but they are seasonal in nature. This will start to make sense when the much warmer weather arrives in the coming months.

All these dividends being cancelled must be storing up a whole heap of trouble for pension funds (along with poor yielding bonds they have to hold). They need an 8% return every year. There's your next crisis over the coming years.

Yeah, who knows, they might actually start to generate a profit. Probably not though.

This is all speculative, okay? Someone once told me this is how you make a market with very limited risk. It could also be a market maker unwinding a bad position, drip-dripping trades into the market to prevent themselves from hitting big orders that might move back against them.

A trivial point, but I've been around a German rival this morning and their floor markings are far less 'militarian' and not in-your-face compared with Tescos, plus you don't feel like you're in a human social experiment on a par with Pavlov's dogs.

I don't think any markets would be open in the circumstances you've mentioned. We'd be in a permanent bank holiday. Although I take on board what you're saying,

Sorry to butt in, as I used to be a holder here until last year. I think civil unrest and revolution is a distinct possibility in a lot of western countries, especially when unemployment starts to make its mark. Western governments caused the coming depression, not COVID-19, whose global deaths so far are about 1/10th of the total of those who died worldwide of flu(s) last year.

Currently, the buying volume and cumulative 'energy' effect is nothing like it was in 2016, but the SP may push towards 20p if we're lucky. If you got in at 10p, then you're virtually up 100% remember...

We've all been s*at on recently, but when there is no bid, the short sellers come in and provide liquidity, as no-one else will. They may be perceived as shyte-weasels and the like, but they are a necessary evil where the big picture is concerned.

Without shorters there is no bid when you need it, according to a well-known forecaster.

I've got a paltry sum invested here, but the way I see it is the only way this company is going to go anywhere is by obviously first relisting before the year is out and having a fully working app that's got mass appeal. That mass appeal can only come about if people's confidence in government plummets, gold consequently shoots up a la Bitcoin fashion, and you're average smart-phone carrying punter is desperate to get into gold any way they can. Seems a tall order, but could very well happen in the current economic climate. The sooner LION relists, the better they can take advantage. 2021/2022 could be start when gold starts to go stratospheric.

When you've been around the block like I have you come to realize everything is led 'perception management' to suit agendas, financial positions, etc. Human societies really have been stuck in a cycle of control by elite groups for centuries. As for the scientific community, there is more debate going on when it comes to climate than people think, and they don't all agree on man-made climate change. This 93% consensus figure is BS.

Shares tend to rise on anticipation. Part of me agrees with you about picking up more stock though, especially at these sort of levels.

We know where the price of this share is going tomorrow then (with a bit of luck, of course).
Regarding the price slippage, both the Euro and Aussie Dollar have both have been losing ground to the UK pound of late. FX comes into the pricing here.

There's nothing as energy dense as fossil fuels. They've enabled the rapid growth over the previous decades and years, and a lot of us wouldn't be here today if the energy surpluses year by year hadn't been stratospheric. All those little critters from hundreds of millions of years ago had enabled us to get where we are today. As for the future, less pollution and a cleaner environment is inevitable, I suppose. But the transition is going to be tough, far less energy dense, as well as expensive for a time.

Namibia is a producer of table grapes and their variety 'melody' is doing great guns in Europe. Tesco's are stocking them. Shame we can't invest in those plantations along the Orange River instead.

The less shares in the float, the less there is to go around when the market cycle takes off again and demand kicks in, thus significantly appreciating the SP. It's not so much now, but in the future, where time is the vital factor. Oil and gas aren't finished yet for quite some time due to the interconnectedness of the world economy, despite the media propaganda and the girl with the pigtails.

Oh well, we hoped this day would come, but the offer price is dissapointing. I thought it would be BHP that would make the offer, but Anglo-American isn't a bad option. I remember in 2015, Anglo-American shares plummeted to £2.30!!!! it goes to show the SP's of blue chips can waterfall as well

Namibia is in the top 10 of lithium producers, so maybe there is a ray of hope on the horizon, although I realize tantalum is the order of the day.
