The latest Investing Matters Podcast with Jean Roche, Co-Manager of Schroder UK Mid Cap Investment Trust has just been released. Listen here.
Bailiff,
There was only actually one trade executed.
The original trade was a 25,000 sell at 56p. It then got cancelled, with the 25,000 at 56p getting reversed, likely due to an error by the market maker.
Then the correct trade for 25,000 at 60p goes through, which based on the rsp at the time was a sell, and is why the price ticked down.
Sash, you need to re-read the definition of deceitful. I am literally telling you my trading strategy.
I can guarantee, without a shadow of doubt, that there will be hyper positive, hyper bullish posters on this bulletin board who will be selling some/all of their holding on the funding spike. They may well buy that holding back at a lower price, but regardless, that is FAR more ‘deceitful’ than the open approach I have presented.
Horut, trust me, I DO NOT WANT TO BUY 😂.
Sash,
I’ll agree to that, on the basis that CLK Man stands by his promise to buy £5000 for each of my posts, a good few to catch up on today.
The share price is going in the wrong direction, we need our cheerleader back, and quickly.
Sash, and the 5 (and counting) recommendations…
As I’d openly discussed previously, I will be selling/shorting on the spike.
So yes, I haven’t yet opened my trade.
Intelligence in short supply on this board.
Where is Mercedes, he should be in with some showman style buying soon, ideally.
Sash,
FYI. I am not looking to buy on a dip, I am looking to sell on a spike.
I’d prefer the price up, the idea that I am de-ramping is somewhat ironic. If I didn’t own a moral compass, I’d be bulling the stock up to assist my hoped future trade, but that isn’t how I work.
I’m being transparent with my views, happy to take flack in the interim, I’ll take some profit out the other side, and they’ll be no hard feelings.
Sash,
Emotional response.
“along the lines of it’ll go to 1.2 and fall to 0.4 isn’t really an opinion, it’s just spouting ****”
I literally provided my numbers to Mafee, they were very different to what you’ve ‘spouted’ there.
I will post when I open my KOD trade, and I’ll let you know when I close it. I’ll let you know my profit, and I’ll even let you know what I buy with the proceeds, if that pleases you.
Laverda,
Sensible post.
I have no qualms with people backing their investment long term, i support that.
I haven’t actually questioned that (contrary to what some have said)
I’ve shared my view of the short/immediate term market mechanics, along with the actual recent events of actual lithium producers in the current market.
LSE should email all of its members to remind them that their bulletin boards are for discussion, not JUST for positivity. For some reason, the average retail investor thinks any sort of a contrary view in a public bulletin board deserves burning at the stake!
Good luck to the long term investors, don’t get salty in the short term mechanics.
Horult,
Page 27, line 34 of the retail investor playbook:
“spreading FUD to try and get a lower buy in opportunity”
That’s the kind of thing I’d expect to read on twitter about a frog meme Pepe coin.
As it is, I would prefer the share price (much) higher, because I want to do the opposite of buying in.
Horult,
“there was much more deramping going on than that. linking stories about lithium downtrend in pricing, biggest lithium producer falling 60% etc etc.”
“De-ramping” you say. Do you think I falsely butchered Albermarle’s accounts so I could ‘de-ramp’ on the KOD board. 😁
De-ramping is a fabricated rhetoric to sow unwarranted doubt. Posting actual factual results of actual listed companies is literally just facts.
Sash,
Just because someone has a contrarian opinion on a bulletin board, it doesn’t make someone weird. I know you’d prefer to read hyper bullish guff about your investments while you eat your shreddies, but welcome to reality.
Traded PREM 0.38 to 0.53, I was in for a matter of weeks, made a large profit on a short term, haven’t had a position since. Holding/hoping is never my strategy.
This is like my SAR trade, and the accompanying insults taken on that board. If the KOD trade turns out as profitable as the SAR one is, it’ll be a worthwhile trade off.
Quite interesting seeing the likes of Horult being shot down by the Chief KOD cheerleader.
Horult responded to my original posts and shot me down for my remarks about a pullback following funding news (which is of course, inevitable). Horult received high praise/recs from his fellow KOD holders (also inevitable)
Over the weekend, Horult posts his view, which is tempering wild share price expectations of others, even daring to say it will struggle past 1.5p and may pull back.
Funny old game when someone dare to post a smidgen of reality on a happy clappy board.
Horult the once hero, now earmarked as a zero from the CLK man!
Big timer,
Sorry to hear about your losses this last year.
My only bit of advice, 2 of your 5 listed investments are subjected to Riverfort CLN’s (GDR and SAR), I don’t believe that is typically conducive to building an accretive portfolio.
VAST has done placings than Ahfam has said tw.at this year. Hope they find some diamonds for you (wouldn’t bank on it)
Back to SAR, these Directors are a set of rascals. ‘Let’s see if we can release some news (albeit meaningless) in the hope of helping us sell their shares today!’
Even the Directors are looking to cash in some of their 30p options.

That’s a shame, the cheerleaders were enjoying your flamboyance, and I was enjoying an attempt at a higher share price.
Clearly more of a CLK than a Maybach S-Class then
Mercedes, quite the showman.
Well, I might just have to settle in some more.
This post is £5k.
Let’s get this to 1p pre-news!
Lazarus,
Your post could almost be regarded as showing some humility, that is of course because the things that myself, and Puma predicted, have happened, almost to a tee.
There was a lot of vitriolic abuse sent my way when the predictions were made.
Don't forget, the predictions were ALWAYS based solely on market mechanics, yet 98% of this board said we would be wrong.
Countdown to Ahfam calling me a t*at, can't be more than a few minutes away
The 50p price target by Christmas was never meant to be a personal attack, it was always an estimate based on historical observations of Riverfort finance. Unfortunately the long term’ers here turned it very personal from their side, attacking anyone who didn’t share a positive opinion of all things Sareum (as witnessed very recently when an actual holder dared to only offer up a £2 price target).
50p will likely be here over the coming week or two. I expect ‘The Shorters’ will still be classed as those who were/are wrong, and the long term’ers will be ‘right’, because after all, the Sareum board is often an inverse indicator of sense!
Only a retail heavy based share could a 62% fall in profits from the world's LARGEST lithium producer be classed as a moot point.
I mustn't spend too much time here, I'm detracting from the ramping.
Twitter says 1.5p to 2.0p on news.
Good luck folks
Urban,
It's a point a see of little relevance. Key sentence "predicting deficits later in the decade". Later in the decade could be 5 years away...
Plus, don't forget, the Hainan/KOD deal was struck in April 2023. In December 2022, KOD told the market "we don't need a fund raise". This almost certainly hints that they were talking to Hainan in December 2022. This is precisely when Lithium was at it's parabolic highest. You can be absolutely certain that Hainan would have lowered their offer if it were struck today, versus 6-12 months ago.
Hainan offered KOD money at 0.50p share in a red hot lithium environment. The share price is 40% higher than this, is a much less attractive CURRENT climate.
