This is normally a red-flag, but the change of 1 month to a June / December cycle seems understandable.

[HMRC use changes to accounting dates as part of automated risk scoring tax returns]

Does that hint at a massive placing and significant dilution to shareholders?

From MAFL's interims [some willa gree]

'An investment which has yet to meet our expectations has been our foray into diamond miners. In 2022 economic sanctions were introduced against Russia, the world's largest producer of diamonds. In 2021 Russia is believed to have produced 39.12M carats [7] . According to DeBeers[8] the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the imposition of related formal sanctions , as well as self-sanctioning, of Russian diamonds created uncertainty in the sector. De Beers also believed that healthy consumer demand, particularly in the US, led to polished price growth and robust demand for rough diamonds in the first half of the year. By June 2022, the economic outlook had changed and De Beers observed that consumer demand for diamond jewellery in the US softened for the second half of 2022, although it remained above pre-Covid-19 levels. Amid this economic uncertainty, De Beers also observed that retailers restocked more cautiously, causing midstream polished diamond inventories to build up through the second half of the year, putting downward pressure on polished prices and softening demand for rough diamonds. Furthermore, De Beers noted that in China, the heightened Covid-19 restrictions from the second quarter onwards impacted diamond jewellery retail sales, resulting in negative demand growth for the year. We remain confident that this investment will yield fruit, but will take additional time.'

ZYX098,

'A lot of water has passed under the bridge since that particular update in January 2021.'

Actually it might be more than 1 bridge on the route to dispose of the water they produce so it is probably more accurate to use the plural and say that 'A lot of water has passed under the bridges since that particular update in January 2021.'

Trek,

Thanks - I did not know that they did a daily newsletter so I have signed up. Cheers...

Labour Social - a new Labour supporting YouTube channel [previously 3 Men in a Pub {unknown to me}]. Just a few videos so far including an interview with {also unknown to me} an @EveryDoctorUK spokesperson. Interesting:

That is myth #1 on his myth-busting list:

"Interestingly, the highest penetration of heat pumps can be found in the coldest climates (Fig. 2), despite frequent claims in parts of the media that heat pumps do not work in cold climates. In Europe, the four countries with the largest share of heat pumps are Norway (60% of households), Sweden (43% of households), Finland (41% of households) and Estonia (34% of households). These four nations also face the coldest winters in Europe, as indicated by the number of heating degree days (defined relative to a base temperature — the outside temperature above which a building needs no heating). This heat pump leadership has been in part attributed to the high historic prevalence of oil heating in these countries and a strategic response to oil price crises by reducing oil for heating17."

It is why I retired in my forties and only worked twice a week for most of my twenties.

"DL's renewed involvement in HH is likely to raise its profile considerably."

There is a saying: "once bitten twice shy"; DL's credibility will not be helped with the disparaging comments that will litter these bulletin boards.

Some will find it amusing

And yes, it has tanked but appears to be a viable business with a green future. It is on a battery watchlist with Gelion which has also tanked. Silk Purse still firmly tied up, but... Fortunes will be made and lost in the changes in the way the world is powered, and I am keeping my eyes open to see if I can improve my pension funds along the way.

Won't WW4 have started by them? Not going to be doing trade with the Enemy?

And there I was watching some NeoMetals presentations... Some of their claims:

"By 2040, the biggest supply of Lithium will be from recycling existing batteries. By 2080 there will be no need to mine Lithium as recycling should provide enough. By 2030 there will be over 1/2 a trillion £ in raw materials in batteries that will need to be recycled."

Does anybody have any comments about Neometals? Not recognised by most punter's radars... Potentially an extremely lucrative market...

Troajan,

In 'normal' times, nobody would ever have made a deal with the far-right, so they could never get real power even though they got a reasonable share of the vote. A bit like Farage. But they were a big enough block for Bibi to firm a coalition with once he was desperate to stay out of jail by any means, it seems. A bit like the ERG having a disproportionate amount of power within the CONservatives.
