Morning all! This header is not about the posts on this BB, but more about the US entering heavily into the middle east with the brewing tensions and conflicts in the middle east starting to ferment into a very potent and nasty mix of anger, resentment and hatred. A big war is a step closer!
I wrote a post a week or two ago about my concerns about the fracture and division between the west and the east. A line from Russia, down through Gaza and down to the red Sea and Yemen via Syria and Iran. The UAE are flexing their muscles and there is a strong connection with China, India and Russia with a quiet link with Iran and other volatile flash point regimes in that region.
We do seem to be a step closer to WW3. I do sincerely hope not!
There is also the build up of rhetoric to the inevitable invasion of Taiwan by China. The world is changing and the old colonial and capitalist west is being put in its place, whether this be done through actual war or so called peace. The problem with the peace element is that China has been winning the economic war for the last 30 years by taking the wests greed and supplying cheaper products for greater perceived margin for the western companies, whilst taking the intellectual property into China. This is at the same time as cornering the trade routes where possible and acquiring as much of the world's natural resources in mostly Africa and South America that they can get their hands on. But their reach extends into the EU, UK and US as well. They are now the largest car producing country in the world, amongst many many other achievements.
Western companies have at last seen the dangers and they are bein more strategic and building factories and moving production back into safer regions either at home or closer to home, in proven, safer and friendly countries.
Where does this leave MATD?
Short term, I can see oil going very high in price as oil becomes restricted to the west. MATD will hopefully get their LP and the SP will rise well. I am still mindful that Mongolia is sandwiched between Russia and China, and vulnerable to trade embargoes and potential border restrictions. I can not see a British entity (MATD) attracting western interests from investment companies or as an attractive take over target due to the geopolitical risks and the location of the assets.
To me, we need a quick uplift and resolution of all matters to commence total production across all blocks. A big lift in the SP. Then an exit, before this mad world we live in fractures and heavily divides.
Globalisation as we know it is coming to an end. The world is not one place and we are not all equal due to our differing laws and values. These are changing times, but we have had an amazing run of prosperity and stability for decades.
Now is the time to get real and batton down the hatches. Let's see what happens next after the bombings in Iraq!
Do we have enough time?
Any thoughts, anyone?
The only person who posts nice and early with a few posts is WOS.
Has be been blocked with censorship on his bb account for posting confidential email information? I hope not.
Everything is getting hotter and the frustration mixed with anticipation is starting to hit fever pitch levels.
"What do you want"
"The RNS"
"When do you want it?"
"Now!"
MON1 I agree.
To have such wording in the email suggesting a very active and significant role in the representation of the interests of MATD, means this has not been going to plan.
The use of her word, However....suggests that whilst she is encouraged that this will be resolved "shortly", she is not convinced.
So this could be imminent or take another month or so. We really don't know. But interesting that the BB's of her private email have been taken down and all posts around that. Even what I tried to post this morning under a different header!!!!
Also ramped become tramped.
BP - "De-bagged", surely!?! Or trouserless!
No pants.....
Red dot time???
Very odd. Tried to post re yesterdays thread and it never made it to the bb.
Something brewing? Perhaps thought of as too much info that should not be divulged?? Reported by MATD or pulled by LSE??
Has anyone else noticed that since our glorious leader, Mike Buck, has been mentioned in the embassy's reply and the photos of him on facebook, the share price has fallen.
It is amazing how every bit of good news that he is associated with results in denting the SP.
That is disgusting, Vikinglass.
Shall I report you for that and banish you to the loo without any light?
Or Lutfisk! Yuk!
Perhaps, Vikinglass, it has a little bribe of some Manx Kippers in it to pass under the table!
I am not sure they would do much good, sadly. Probably like marmite, it would not be enjoyed much at all.
I live in Spain. "Why do today what you can do tomorrow" seems to be their mantra.
Soon is whatever you wish it to be. It could be days, weeks or.months. even years in some cases in Spain. I don't believe Mongolia is that different, though there are encouraging signs popping up in a few places as the oil industry seems to stir into hopeful life!
I feel that an LP before the end of February is great. By the end of March at the latest before a sense of dread and panic starts to manifest itself with the elections looming. Any day now is also possible.
In the overall scheme of MATD, this is all soon. Watch out for the RNS and smile when it eventually drops - soon......
No. Haven't seen him.
I let myself out in the end as I couldn't stand the smell or sitting in the dark any longer. I had to fit a new bulb and then I saw the light...!!
Perhaps the governor is in prison for not signing the LP which is why he hasn't been seen for a month???
Perhaps I am overthinking this!
Markets might give a little wobble today after the Evergande ruling in China and the sell off that resulted in the eastern markets.
Oil still holding at $83. Let's see how stable MATD sp is and if it can keep its health 4p per share value.
Oil heading north. Is next week the week for the coming of the RNS re the LP and new blocks?
Ooh, I do hope so.
Bulb has just blown. Typical!
Yes it is Ojay. Entered yesterday after being reported by Vikinglass for my posts in Russian! š
I am still in the loo and I am not coming out!
OH Vikinglass. You didn't!
What about the French??
You are Swedish and have a multi language background. You popped my balloon!
Really...! There's no sense of justice or fun in the world....!! (Locking myself in the loo and I won't come out - EVER)
