stars, not starts

I doubt you would buy him a pint... What surprises me if the drip feeding the shares; if he wants out surely a package deal could be arranged? After all, the last placing at 14p was "substantially over-subscribed".

The starts seems to be aligning for PHC; I am hoping to see turnover improving faster than the company has suggested.

In non-double speak: "We will sell them energy as long as they are prepared to buy because we will be fucked without their money"

KRS reversed on nothing but a low and hope...

Will they do a placing on the bounce and will wanna-be traders become 'faithful long term holders' who ramp away until they might get an opportunity to escape?

Big Shot sticking to his guns?

If his banks do not force him to close, those on the other side of this gamble are in deep, deep trouble, as they have only bought the positions to sell to him when he closes. It is not as though they actually want the Zinc.

Well written, even if only a reminder of what you already know.

And yet the share price still dropped by over 5%; what would the drop have been without the apology?

The default will rattle emerging markets and, to some extent, China. The Chinese property sector remains fragile and vulnerable.

Xi will be very unhappy if Putin dumps on his economy as they try to live with Covid and formalise his unprecedented 3rd term. I read the commentary from GMO, and they favour emerging markets for the next few years. Any defaults would make EMs more attractive.

Could be 'unshaved' - a very close haircut?

'On the ground, tickets for the twice-daily, 3½-hour train to Helsinki topped 9,000 euros (about $9,800) last week. The cars have been so packed that its operator, Finland’s VR Group, has introduced a third daily service.'

China's state media buys Meta ads pushing Russia's line on war

Facebook sucks; I have never used it and take time to make sure I block their tracking cookies etc. But FUCK them for allowing this; people in the UK will be seeing these ads as far as I am aware. Just another $ for Nick Clegg.

I only got 4% from my speculative BREE purchase but it is groceries for the month and when I read messages like the one below it reminds me that discipline is so important.

I bought to hold overnight for the results; stick to the plan, take the profit or loss and live to fight another day.

Patel missing from PMQs... Is she off doing her job, or just an embarrassment to Doris?

Most of the factual truth getting into Russia seems to be getting in via family and friends in Ukraine. But I have read too many stories that the people in Russia are not believing what they are being told.

Using a VPN in Russia to access 'prohibited' sites [radical sites like CNN, BBC or other 'fake media'] can get you in a load of trouble; is it worth it if you already know you are under the thumb of a dictator who will happily sacrifice your life?

I knew it was getting cold but had not thought about how cold a metal tank could get:

'Russia's stranded troops face dying in tanks that become '40-ton iron freezers' during -20C cold snap - after warnings cornered Putin could detonate mini-NUKES in worst-case scenario as 'clusterf**k invasion' fury grows'

Market cannot even swallow 10k shares without the seller having to accept a price under the Bid.

This IPO is leaving a nasty after taste for those that nibbled on the Primary Bid launch. I could go on but it would sound like I was suffering from parotitis.

'They should try and deliver this time but a delay should not be more than a month.'

I thought the whole idea of having a 'long stop date' was that there would be no more delays accepted by VAL; if another month is OK then surely it would be a 'soft stop date'?
