If it holds we should be up 64p in the morning.

Fairly sure Shaun and the board will have a detailed plan to monetise OC in the near future. Look forward to finding out soon whether it will be through a JV or a sale. Either way, with the current worldwide tungsten shortages it seems like the perfect time to cash in.

Yet some people want to give him credit for reducing the oil flow by 65% just because it was previously reduced by 100% due to his actions. If anything constructive was achieved I’m yet to see evidence of it.

Some people are easily pleased.

I suggest you follow your own advice in the last sentence Spadey.

Clueless doesn’t even begin to describe your comment.

Trump will reject the deal at least one more time. There’s still mileage for him and his backers to make a few more millions with his blatant market manipulation.

There’s still mileage best chance is that he’ll want to declare “victory” just ahead of 4 July, and in his head any deal will be trumpeted as a victory even if we’re in a worse position than before it all started.

I was looking for the GGP forum but all I could find was this one that seems to be full of green boxes. Does anyone know where it’s gone. Trumpers and Farage fans need not respond because I won’t see it.

Rupert Lowe?

Who in their right mind would vote for a party associated with that clown? He makes Farage look almost reasonable.

Judging by all the green boxes I assume some of the loons have got their phones back.

NURSE!!!

Sh*****g on his neighbours for poultry profits Littlepost?

Has he bought into KFC?

Hopefully market makers have learnt to ignore the ramblings of the Whitehouse madman and will set the prices based on real relevant news and demand for the shares. There’s a fair chance we’ll see the formal Hav FID this week, which although will come as no surprise, it will trigger quite a few institutional buys pushing the price up.

GLA.

By the way, I couldn’t work out why you weren’t in a green box like the other fools. That’s remedied now.

Yeah, course you will.

You won’t get many with your school lunch money.

Not sure what makes you think Trump is following the rules that a normal president would follow. He’s proven time and again that he believes rules are for others, and he is free to do exactly what he wants. To achieve this he has systematically removed the ability of the courts and law enforcement to do anything to stop him. Scrutiny is for his opponents not for him, his family and his backers.

If you think of his presidency as a money making scheme for him and his close associates, it makes his foreign policy decisions make sense because nearly everything he does is detrimental to the US and the vast majority of the population. Think about who’s paying his tariffs as an example.

Trump will play the deal/no deal game a few more times to manipulate the markets and cash in because no one can hold him to account.

Eventually we’ll end up back where we started with a Trump declaration of victory that no one will believe apart from his moronic supporters including most of my green box owners, then at that point we’ll lose the volatility and make some steady gains to above £10 with hopefully an OC special dividend that will cheer us all up.

As well as being good to see the formal approval given, it was also good to see “Final Investment Decision for Havieron targeted in the current June 2026 Quarter”, so presumably there will be an immediate ramp up in activity to prepare the mine. Hopefully matching the ASX SP will just be the starting point and we’ll be at £8 very shortly.

The only agreement to be reached will that the US won’t intervene if China make a move on Taiwan or anywhere else in that region. However the Chinese know that already because they’re not stupid and know Trump is.

What’s your best guess at a possible sale value?

Agree with the sentiment Lovingretirement, however he has avoided being held to account for 10 years for multiple crimes. No reason to believe he will ever be held to account while he controls the judiciary including SCOTUS. Four years of Biden was insufficient to restore the checks and balances so sadly he’s going to get away with it. If the heat gets too much he’ll live out his life in a nice dacha somewhere near Moscow.

She has had senior positions at several listed companies and presumably sees her role at Greatland as just another job without the emotional attachment someone like Shaun has, so if she needed a lump sum for something she would have no reason to consider how it looks to random shareholders, unlike if Shaun Day had reduced his holding as a result of exercising options and selling other shares to pay for them.

Can understand why GGP management don’t want to spend too much time and money on OC, when they specialise in gold mining and production. Which is why an early sale or JV with a Tungsten specialist could well be the way ahead. If it’s a sale and we get something like Element’s valuation, it would be very nice to get a special dividend of say £1.50 per share. With 80% of my GGP holdings in an ISA wrapper, that would be a not insignificant tax free lump sum that is always welcome.
