Nail on the head there Mr Bond!

Nail on the head there Mr Bond!

Quite so, indeed quite so, incredible if only "Spiiting Image" was still around , what would they make of Trump !

Thank you halfpenny, I was unaware of that.
I am not a religious persons, so I wouldn't claim that this is some divine retribution on mankind, but wonder is mother nature making a point against mankind, the species some of which commit such atrocities and continue to abuse and destroy the planet and its other inhabitants?
Unfortunately so many of the decent, good and innocent people will suffer and die whilst those who deserve to be punished Trumpo and the others who exploit and exert such control over the destiny of the many will survive because of their privileged positions in the world order!

Wonderful sentiments as ever!" from Tiger & RazorsEdge
Totally agree Sotolo!
I really despair that the so many of the general public can't be bothered to vote and so many that do are so ignorant of just how unfit for purpose our present "First past the post" electoral system is, the present system almost guarantees that the same type of greedy self serving
and detached from the reality of ordinary life politicians remain in power!

Huge government majorities are always a bad thing for democratic representation and our present governments policies, £64 billion on an unneeded railway line to get some of the privileged to the outskirts of a northern city twenty minutes sooner whilst our NHS and social services are starved of funding and sold off to the private sector is testament to that!
We now have a ex game show host PM who as a journalist was caught out lying on many occasions even in Thatcher’s time and he continues to lie and deceive supported by a media under the control of the those who benefit most from the present corrupt and broken status quo!
Poor prince Harry doesn’t know how he will manage on £34 million and his father’s dole outs now he has been denied his civil list allowances just because he doesn't care to carry out his responsibilities!
Whilst in so many town centres of "Ponundlands", Betting shops, charity shops and cash exchanger's so many of the doorways of the boarded up shops are inhabited with the homeless with no proper access to anything, certainly not healthcare9an ideal breeding ground for the coronavirus!
On Friday I suspect manipulation of the PM prices on the London and Wall Street’s markets by the "Fed plunge protection squad " and this will no doubt continue to try and protect the over bloated indices that if allowed to fall may create yet another financial crash!

Sotolo,
As a long term holder you comments, conclusions and questions on these issues are very valid!

Hindsight is indeed a great thing, easy to be wise after the event!

I am glad that your decision was successful, as in the vast majority of situations there is a 50/50 chance of of getting it right, although as we all know some in the markets have the benefit of access to critical Information considerably sooner than those at out level
As you say as in most cases 'More luck than judgement"
With a contrarian stock such as Centamin it is always difficult to make the right call every time , certainly when the markets are over so over bloated, yet the real worlds economies are in such a mess and when so muchis dependant on the media reaction to the rhetoric and innuendo of unpredictable political leaders.
No investment or trading strategy works all of the time, although all work only some of the time, but so much does depend on luck and of course privileged information!

Don't take any notice Khukof is just trying to wind you up!
Warren Buffett-
While you can't time the market, one of the most important factors in building wealth is time in the market. You don't want to pull your money out when the market has a bad day.

It’s probably about liquidity. Centamin is one of those midcap stocks where there is more liquidity than most, which is an advantage when looking at getting new shareholders in, but when there is market contagion its one of those stocks which people can cash out of relatively easily and buy back in again quickly as well.

There are no fundamental issues going on – this will all seem a blip in about a month’s time, when gold remains strong, and Sukari will be continuing to churn out the gold!

As you say the article raises some points for consideration https://www.kitco.com/commentaries/2020-02-27/Gold-s-up-why-are-gold-stocks-down.html

They can't refrain from trading Razor's because that is all they know, they are aren't investors, just gambling traders!
The way so many of these traders behave would not be out of place on the "Paddy Power Bingo" site, although that site more than likely has higher ethics and and is most likely higher principled than than the London and Wall Street stock markets!

You could always complain to the Financial Ombudsman or possibly FCA, either are usually very helpful.

"Gold prices are doing what they should given renewed (global) growth risks and easier policy responses is a new core underlying driver," says the latest bullion-market note from Canadian financial services group Scotiabank.

"It's already taken out our average forecast for 2020 ($1600) and it's likely the floors are shifting up," the note goes on, pointing to strong inflows from investors – both to gold-backed ETF trust funds and leveraged betting on the derivatives market.

Hi Bob,

Certainly some manipulation going on today when considering the price of gold in comparison with the share price!

Thank you JEF _NIC.

Trust the markets Eh, no manipulation Eh?
I would still rather trust the rattle snake at the lucky dip!

No point in stop losses as those that run and manipulate the markets can see them!

hi Razors, from memory your figures do seem seem about right , although I seem to recall the SP did go a few pence higher for a short period in the past, may have been nearer 197p?
