Well that is not a promising RNS

When Pam Bondi Protected Foreclosure Fraudsters

'There’s a lot out there about Bondi, including her soliciting a $25,000 contribution from Trump and subsequently scotching an investigation into his fake university, while lying about how many complaints from former students at the university she received.'

MAGA folk must feel reassured that the people who nicked their houses are safe thanks to the Orange God's AG... Real quality folk he wants to do his bidding.

A bit of publicity [for a change]

China has been stockpiling raw materials [iron ore etc] as they get ready to invade Taiwan. Soon there are going to be gluts of unprocessed ore and [potentially] shortages of processed materials. Bad news for miners who export to China for processing but positive for anyone close to a smelter with capacity, water, tailings facilities, cheap power etc.

From a reputable Twitter account: "A potentially regime-ending showdown is brewing in the Russian government today as the Russian Duma is trying to stop the Central Bank's proposal to confiscate all funds from every citizen's bank account of any balance over 1.4 million rubles ($13,300)."

First saw it mentioned a day or 2 ago but thought it was just 'fake news'; how would you feel if Starmer took your dosh. My NS&I dosh would be too easy to confiscate...

RNS of share purchase: 5,715,000 shares at C$0.35 per Unit representing £1.178M or C$2,000,250 and 2,857,500 warrants at C$0.50

Value of shares today = C$4914780

At today's exchange rate = £2807936.68

That is over 50% of the current m/cap of circa £5m

The first of Trump's nominations... what could go wrong with a drunken Christofascist being in charge of launching nukes?

I don't follow JD Sports but thought that the RNS headline of 'Robust trading performance in a challenging market' seemed positive.

Mr Market must have been expecting more [share price was already down 20% over last 6 months].
