I did not mean you... if anything I would expect you to take the cream off the top on any spike. But it is hardly moving on Google

MMs only ticked the price up by 0.96%; I reckon the excited punters quickly push it up more than that.

Troajan's HEX has got the punters overexcited this morning... have they got enough spare funds to 'grab some more' or 'average up' or enough time post messages about retiring in the Bahamas to attract more punters?

Cloned horses: making them run faster will put more strain on their hearts. Breeders will not admit to having CRISPR edited horses, so these horses will end up in the general population and breed and in doing so introduce genetic anomalies into the population which will weaken the population as a whole in due course.

The reverse of survival of the fittest...

Yeah - it is even worse than that; the placing is at 0.075

Is this the long awaited beginning of consolidation in the copper mining industry? Will the pursuit of junior copper explorers now heat up?

'The deal gives Anglo access to Teck’s much-coveted portfolio of copper mines after a period when it has itself been an acquisition target and has faced pressure from its shareholders.'

Copper, copper, copper... Commentators have been expecting copper consolidation and this might be kicking off the game; as pawns are removed from the board, those that remain become more valuable. This is good news for EST - the Verkhuba deposit will always be of interest; good results from the early exploration campaigns will make the whole portfolio of more interest.

Some drilling results soon...

Copper-to-Gold Ratio Plummets to Financial Crisis Levels, Flashing Economic Warning Signs

The Copper-to-Gold ratio, a key barometer of global economic health, has plunged to levels last seen during the 2008 financial crisis, signaling growing investor anxiety and fears of a significant economic slowdown. This decline is driven by a powerful divergence in the two commodities: soaring gold prices fueled by a flight to safety and stagnating copper prices weighed down by a darkening outlook for industrial demand.

The ratio is calculated by dividing the price of copper by the price of gold. As of September 2025, with gold trading at approximately $3,645 per ounce and copper at around $4.49 per pound ($71.84 per ounce), the ratio stands at a stark 0.0197. This is remarkably close to the levels seen in October 2008, when the global financial system was in the throes of a severe crisis

'UK faces mounting stockpile of used EV batteries'

And - the EU is slowly bringing in a mandated recycled content % for EV batteries; if they keep to their timeline [doubtful] then recycled stuff could command a healthy premium as there will not be enough to meet demand.

Seem to be hard to judge... Underlying EPS of 4.66p leads to a p/e of around 12 which seems too high because of the debt. But 'ROIC improved 100bps YoY to 5.9%, on path to medium term target of 15%' suggests that the EPS has scope for significant improvement over the next few year.

It will be interesting to see how the market judges the results in the light of a targeted increase in return to 15% which is 150% higher [organic jam made from hand picked fruit in a biodynamic orchard].

'Unlucky nomlungu, you eventually lost.'

That is one way of admitting to Farage's record of repeated FAILURE.
