Charles Jillings, CEO of Utilico, energized by strong economic momentum across Latin America. Watch the video here.
Well, Rolf did say we had a "strong case" and he always tells the truth, right?
However, I do think someone keeps dumping volume, not sure if it's to keep the price suppressed or they know something no-one else does?
Can't call it, but there's a lot of nervous holders (me invluded) and the MM's are definitely going to play on that.
Let's see...
If anything, sanctions are loosening. EU dropped ban on Russian fertilisers. Financial pragmatism will win out here.
Is it an escalation, or is Putin simply desperate for manpower ?
A fair indication of where this is going imo?
Toon, you're argument doesn't make any sense. If he's talking to countries who are more aligned, then surely he would be asking for more support, or at least time, to complete his 'special operation'?
China is now backpeddling on it's 'no limits' support of Russia (driven no doubt by numerous reports of Western businesses re-assessing their supply chains should China do something similar in Taiwan and further sanctions).
He now finds himself in a very difficult situation, of his own making, where the West are running away, NATO has been strengthened, his borders under more threat than any time since 1941 and his 'allies' are keeping a diplomatic arms length oh, and he's losing the fighting war too!
I believe his words are actually a plea for someone to find him a face saving way out the mess he's made.
The definition of being "too clever for your own good".
Fact is, there's a global cold war at playand you simply need to decide which side you're on.
No system is perfect - humans are imperfect - but if you think anyone else gives a toss about your way of life and your kids futures other than those institution we work vote for and pay for, then you are sadly mistaken.
Freedom isn't free, and it doesn't mean you're free to do whatever you want either...it requires responsibility and respect.
Anyhow, hopefully looks like we're on the 'vinegar strokes" in Ukraine. I hope peace breaks out soon, people can mourn their dead and some lessons have been learnt (I wish).
It'll be studied by the Russians for generations to come as this has no doubt been planned and supported by NATO (US/UK in particular).
Whilst I've no doubt the Russian army will collapse, Putin's unpredictably will the biggest concern. Quite sure he won't 'go nuclear' or be allowed to, but will he fully mobilise, or sue for a peace where he maintains some sort of gain?
But his hand is weakening by the day, by the hour.
Dunno.
But I think it's positive for us investors, as it should (hopefully) bring a conclusion of some sort in the near future.
Imo
Nice one Trev
Probably more "Jam tomorrow", as anything of material significance would have been RNS'd?
But can't do any harm I suppose?
Hopefully have the oil issue resolved in a few weeks and possibly gas online shortly after, then we MIGHT see a bit of life return to this stock.
