Such a clever strategy by the CEO to keep all 10 (sic) "big farmas" gagging for a deal. And so hush-hush. What a giant of a negotiator and even before the patent inspectors have so much as given a nod. And the BB rigid with excitement for the hilarity of the next "sermon". You couldn't make it up! Still sorry for those who fell for the 16-17p spike based on a video but hopefully lessons have been learned as they say interminably. ATBALTHs i.e those from pre 2018 not last March.

Rebarm: an accurate review of the recent history i.e since 2018. Probably too long and with too many difficult words for many for whom a video and a "novel insight" by a rich gentleman living a busy lifestyle of demanding conferences and secret rooms only available to clever scientists is far more compelling. The loss in 2018 to the Placebos was either cos P140 didn't work - although was "Safe" - or that it was not a fair match so should be replayed. We were told by the CEO- who is still very rich - that the replay would be expedited forthwith. No such undertaking has been received since but the "novel insight" aka "dream" has attracted much attention and has resulted in a most entertaining and popular BB attracting buyers even up to 17p and some apparently entertaining drivel from some false preacher-person. You don't have to be a Phd Scientist like GG to understand the history of IMM - a Member of the Magic Circle would be a far more useful qualification. Again, excellent review. ATB

Good to have a classics scholar on the BB Esduk. Sarcasm is easily understood but "volte face" is a real tester!

Top sliced the last of my winnings this am. Kept a few for old times sake as c20years ago when Lupozor was about to change the world. Plus ca change. Didn't know about LSE then but imagine the comments were exactly the same: the CEO's hype certainly was though I don't recall a "novel insight". Very sorry for those newcomers who bought in in the teens - sp that is, not years - but they can't say that they weren't warned although pictures of rocket ships and talk of $bill deals does catch the eye. Opportunity cost of holding any IMM just too high at the moment. Might get back in again at 3p in March after the video announcing a "novel insight", perhaps even a replay P140 v The Placebos, and an assurance of a deal by 2027 following a Conference in the clement climes of the Bahamas.

Many thanks SD: brief and to the point. ATB

"JP Morgan has issued a bullish outlook on the mining sector for 2026, arguing that a paradigm shift around critical minerals is now underway and will drive strategic change across the industry."

Hold onto your gold too Esduk. This time next year you will be able to get the chauffeur to pick up the brood.

Have a feeling that tomorrow I will be more excited about MKA than about the prospects of the "lads" down under! ATB

Not sure any Gen Zs on here will understand that Spirit: you must be nearly as old as I am! And apologies for Esduk lowering the tone by his reference to overpaid, over-hyped "lads" who play a bit of tip and run in between foto-calls and Tik-Tok. However, I for one appreciate your virtual strategy for tomorrow and if manifested it would serve to convince me that the MKA market is returning to what to my mind is "normalcy" rather than the outright manipulation that has been going on recently. ATB

Good enough for me Esduk: 50 reached with a thick edge. Retake guard tomorrow for the next 50. ATB

Esduk: many thanks as ever. Mrs M at Advent Service tomorrow. Your reply confirming our optimism will allow her to add confidently to the collection. P.S. She never did sell at 37p for the dish-washer: indeed, has since added twice! ATB

Esduk: when you are back from the school run (or nativity play rehearsal) and have settled with a glass, it would be interesting to know your thoughts on today's action. I have only the basic LSE information but it looks to me that some pretty heavy sells have been absorbed, not to say snapped up? I am certainly encouraged by the closing price which I feared would be a deal lower. Indicates to me that there is a belief that good news is in the offing - but then I am a simple man - and very old and naive where rare earths rule the world. ATB

Expecting a plea for funds anytime: the cost of a round of drinks for the men in suits at Conferences is huge especially if you wish to shake hands also. Then the announcement that you shook hands with at least 10 of them and the share price plummets, then Christmas with the extended family and having to keep them in the manner to which they have become accustomed doesn't come cheap with an extra 7 grand tax to pay on the home pad. No more coming in from Lanstead and a full year of videos to be produced, not to mention the Easter ski-ing trip to meet more suits with drinks to buy at outrageous Swiss prices. But it will all be worth it when P140 gets revenge in the replay with the Placebos so bring it on. ATBALTHs

"Fire! Fire!" cried the boy: but this time no-one took any notice. And he burned to death.

I'm a simple man so for me reassurance will come when there is a TR-1 pointing to the fact that someone somewhere in authority is prepared to put up a decent sum or has sucked up the bulk of the sells from the last month or a photo of a large lorry leaving Birmingham with a heavy load of magnets - although the photo of the bucket of stuff was somewhat comforting if validated. A photo of Milibrain in Birmingham saying how pleased he is that he will help with recycling of old hard discs to help make into his lovely windmills would be even more reassuring especially if he stumped up a consideration courtesy of Rachel from Complaints. Perhaps next week............ ATBALTH

Many thanks DG: blimey, he might be a CEO but he would fail totally as a school-teacher! He uses the word "excitement" with all the enthusiasm of a dead sheep. But then, on reflection, I don't recall many of my science lessons being filled with wonder as the litmus paper changed colour or the iron filings shuffled into line, but I'm sure he knows his stuff so will continue to hold while seeking the thrill of the chase elsewhere. ATB

AJP : again many thanks for your time. I have perused with help from Mrs M. Naturalia; Pure-Nature; Skunk Odour Remover; Pretty Curly Girl; and just love "Bottlebright" - sounds like just the stuff for my home-brew cleansing. If this stuff is flying off the shelves then not only is the planet being saved but ITX must be supplying multi million £ products. Have to say that none of them ring any bells but with such captivating titles my mind is at rest. Back to 4p before you can say Head and Shoulders. Perhaps in due course in the fullness of time and at his convenience when all is said and done in the laboratory JS will enlighten us before the next fund raise to keep him in the manner to which he has become accustomed. ATB

AJP: as ever an interesting post. For its significance could you please explain "long-lasting solid cosmetic composition" ; is lip-stick a long-lasting solid cosmetic composition or mascara? A Parfum is a squirt (I believe) not a solid. Heard of Chanel from people of a female gender in the family, quite expensive I believe and with a certain je ne sais quoi - Coco Chanel is a brilliant Horrible Histories cameo - but not sure how significant "preferred" ingredient is intended to be. Does it mean they will pay a lot to use it rather than anything else in the Parfums?; or perhaps the EU masters insist which would seem to be useful to the cause.

Apologies for the approach but I clicked on the link and it didn't work. ATB

AJP: just seen your post of a few days ago: " how many actually look at the ingredients of what they are buying". A most telling remark and a view I offered some time ago. For Mrs M for shampoo, dishwashing, nice smells et al answer is never and certainly not to be "green" and to join Elsol and those on the mission to save the planet. Nor from the ghastly TV adverts thrust before me do many others release their hard earned cash for the sake of "greenness". I also asked (somewhat rhetorically) that while the list of users is growing there is little evidence that their products are flying off the shelves in ever increasing quantities. Suggest the BOD adopt a baby Fairy Liquid orphan or a Timotei (sic) model or a big dog whose smells can be eradicated by a quick squirt of ITX by a bearded chemist aka JS in Batman outfit. Just might attract a bit of interest from someone somewhere in the market and get the sp back to 4p. For myself, I wouldn't touch X or Facebook or TV adverts with a bargepole but I gather from my grandchildren and those I meet in the pub that quite a lot of the populace do and I would also if I needed to make money or run business that rewarded my shareholders. At least long-suffering holders aka losers would have something to smile at and talk about. ATB

Growmore, and others: I doubt anyone on the BB disputes that two chemists with a lab who a make a life-changing discovery will make a lot of money - M.and Mme Curie and Mr Fleming and Mr Jenner would agree. The question is whether anyone thinks that the video-star of IMM and his associates are in the same league and whether the secret room holds the clue to an elixir so far unknown to man - or woman. The lack of a TR-1 indicates to me that this discovery is being very well concealed from anyone with a significant amount of cash but in five years or so when the patent is approved and patients (or Patience - where is Tigga) are rising from their beds, you are welcome to state "There you are, I told you so, as did GG (Phd Chem and Bar.)" ATB

Please enlighten me too: and I'm all ears. SP has plummeted from being in the forefront of our rare-earths response backed by the EU , consolidating for a Nasdaq listing (thank you debbie, I've remembered), upping sticks to USA for better opportunities and finance while sitting on a "gold" mine of magnet making stuff needed by the whole of the Western World. Asking for a friend.

Loot: I'm sure that many here will welcome 4p+. It would enable more losses to be taken but rather less disastrously than hitherto in order to take full advantage of the tasty opportunities elsewhere - and with companies who are capable of revealing a timetable of TUs in advance rather than expecting shareholders to grovel in the dark until someone deigns to provide a few crumbs of self-satisfied information. The opportunity cost of holding ITX over the last two years or so has been debilitating. Still feel for those holding from 10p+ but well done to those who took a loss but more than regained elsewhere. Look forward to the TU late tomorrow afternoon published in the hope that not too many people will notice, will forget by Monday when work in the labs will continue to forge the "green" revolution in peace and tranquillity. And I hope that the TU comes with a very special mention to AJP without whose contributions indicating some sort of progress most holders would have disappeared months ago and left the lab-rats to play to their hearts content.
