I didn't say $6 would be used...I'm not that stupid...

But an economically sound PFS produced against a backdrop of $6 copper and $2000 gold wouldn't do us any harm...

How much longer can the big boys sit on the sidelines...

Especially with the news out of Chile...shocking...!

Managed to get another 6814 at 89.9p which was almost 3p over the quote....augurs well...

Had to refresh over 40 times, but I got there...

Average now 92p...waiting for divi now...

Off to play golf...

GLA

I was able to buy 7500 shares instantly for 94.26 on II...back in with new average...waiting for 10 March now...

GLA

I've just watched Sir John Sawer (former head of MI6) at the Oxford Union last Tuesday...

Seriously impressive....

He said China is LESS likely to attack Taiwan having seen what has happened in Ukraine and the weight of global sanctions.

Its on Youtube if you want to watch it...

I'm on II and I have bought another 5k this morning in two tranches...

Its not easy...I set a FoK at one point but the price went above my limit so I had to back off, but eventually got them at a lower price by waiting and then refreshing 20/30 times...

Currently 10k with a 191 average...also have POG at 1.55, but shelled out of EVR for the time being at breakeven...

As many have said, you can get an instant quote for any size to sell, but not to buy...

My theory is that institutions are still unloading steadily because they have to, e.g. tracker funds...

That means shares are coming onto the market, and I also thin k there are big buyer(s), which doesn't help us, because its administratively easier for MMs to sell in one big parcel rather than small lots...

Also the SP is moving so rapidly because of so many small deals that it may be impacting the ability for even the electronic system to quote prices. On more than one occasion I've clicked to buy only to find the transaction not confirmed but I have been able to buy immediately after. These are probably because the price has moved and can no longer be guaranteed...

So, all in all, I think it is best to take the long view, which I agree should be several multiples of this;

Decide on your firm limit in terms of total size and target average price and stick to that, rather than be siucked in...

I averaged down from a starting point of 219p so when this pops above 200p again I shall have to decide whether to sell some or hold for the ride, because I expect the SP to remain volatile...

Hope this helps...

Up to 504, down to 469 and back up to 496...that's what you call volatility!

All in the space of 24 hours...

How soon will we see $6? In time for the PFS...?

Ha ha...never lose your sense of humour novice...

Isn't it time for the daily 55p...?

I'm now firmly bid for 165,000 shares at c29.2p...

They want your shares!

We're right on the cusp of a 20/200 day Golden Cross, which will be achieved sometime in the next couple of days un less the price falls sharply...

Once we break 31p there is no real resistance up to 34/35...

I'm firmly bid for 100,000...

Hit $5.04 and $2002...

Anyone care to do the numbers...?

And surely the PFS numbers will be very much better when they're cast...

How much longer can the 'Big Boys' play this gigantic game of 'chicken' or Mexican standoff...?

Ande on that point, I just tried a dummy sale of 15,000 and got an instant bid...

SOMEBODY WANTS YOUR SHARES...

There seem to be many people especially on EVR and POLY boards complaining that they can't buy shares at all or only in small numbers...

I've been on II for many years and have experienced similar problems before but what you have to understand is there are at least a couple of things causing these hiccups...

1 These two shares are regularly going into auction. A very good hint is when you see the Bid price higher than the Offer price...you won't be able to deal while this is so...

2 The flow of shares from sales is sporadic and highly variable and the SP is changing by the second so...

Based on either or both of the above, I've found that the thing NOT to do is leave a Pending Buy order...these are executed manually in the order they are received. I left one on the other day and it took 25 minutes to execute; the price may work for you by the time it is dealt but it could equally go against you.

You could try a 'Fill or Kill' and these have higher priority; if the can't be dealt immediately within your price limit they MUST be killed.

But in fact what I do instead is simply keep refreshing the deal (i.e. 'Preview Order, Amend, Preview Order, Amend, etc) until a live price is quoted. It took me about 30 refreshes on one occasion but eventually I got filled.

Also I have had a couple of occasions where I pressed the button on a live price and the deal failed, presumably because the price changed suddenly. I don't know but patience wins out.

Finally, using the above approaches, I have not once failed to buy or sell the size I wanted and it was significant particularly in POLY towards the end of play today that the market was readily taking stock and at times bidding for significant size.

As someone suggested earlier...there was/is a ready buyer...

Good luck and hope this helps...

Woody the whole FTSE is down...oil shares are major constituents...

Back in at 80p...rinse and repeat...?

33%...I made 40%...in at 70p...out at 98p...waiting to get back in...

SOLG a place of peace and quiet today compared to what is happening with EVR and POLY...

I need a new seat to my pants...OK so far on a day trading basis...

1,245,938 at 30.25...

HUGE!

SP now comfortably through the 200 day MA...

Now at a 5 month high...
