Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Agree with Fluker and other comments. Great net debt reduced by £4 million between 31.12.20 and 31.3.21. 1353 wholesale volume for Q1 even higher than the 2019 figure Vorlich001 posted. 55% of units sold being DBX and clearing inventory/increased ASP also good news. Hopefully UK and EMEA demand will significantly increase in Q2. AML also reiterate importance of specials. All in all confirms all of hopes regarding performance to date. Good luck all
Have not posted in a while but a couple of points:
1) I suspect Adeem’s sales will go on for at least another month. However long it takes it takes. Bit like II in that it is frustrating and timing strange as they know where AML is heading. Also what IR told, I think, Tinypie, suggests some elements may be maintained if several entities involved. It is not like II who were closing their fund;
2) keep the faith MattyG6R. The high you refer to was early February 2021. 7-10 days later was the Adeem 7% threshold rns. Initially I thought that the drop was down to natural fluctuations in the sp after a sharp rise. Remember we were 1360p in mid December 1st day post consolidation. On reflection, drop mainly due to Adeem selling 7% in up to £2 million chunks. Take point others have made that it seems to be a sector wide drop the last few days looking at Ferrari sp etc;
3) use this opportunity to either top up or (like me if bought initial shares in a regular account) use this 1810-2050 trading range to transfer shares into an ISA with limited risk of losing a load of shares;
4) I suspect good news tomorrow. Cannot see Rob’s £25 forecast next week being right (but would be delighted to eat a large slice of humble pie if it is correct) but hopefully it will quicken Adeem’s exit.
Margie123 - I applied for £1000 and got approximately 55% of that. Do not know how they worked out the proportions. If 2.5 times oversubscribed would have expected everyone to get 40% of what applied for. Only caveat is mine is split across a fund and share account and an isa. Not sure if the shares held in isa counted given the shares could not be placed directly into a isa.
Will be interested what happens when the SP hits the 2040-2060 range as that has previously been a trigger for large sells. Would normally expect SP to pick up ahead of results.
Hoping it is a positive Q1 results a little earlier than last few years. Strange day for the share price today in a narrowish band. Three times hit 1960 and got pushed back. Have a good weekend all. Be relieved when Adeem out so sp can properly rise. Hopefully will be like when II finally sold out.
I contacted the sfo and Luftkin’s solicitor in February but did not get a response. As a public body, in my opinion, the SFO have a duty to explain how we went from sentencing in February 2021 to a mention hearing on 21 June 2021. Something must have happened in the background.
We should be positive tonight. Sp at its Highest level in around a month. Maybe not a breakout on one of Englangder’s charts but certainly an air gap between sp snd the bottom of the channel. Positive also a steady rise this afternoon. Does it maybe mean adeem no longer selling or is it people or IIs buying in in advance of q1 results? Time will tell. Whilst people were getting frustrated with the relatively narrow channel we were trading it, strong support around £19 is a hell of a journey from where we were. Remember we opened at £13.60 on consolidation in mid December. Have a great weekend all.
@MadMan111 - I am separating out the recruitment side based on what I read via BBC and Welsh press. There are different financial consequences of redundancy, versus an unfair or wrongful dismissal claim following the termination of an individual’s employment. Redundancy is the role no longer being required, hence legal opinion you should not recruit into a role you have made redundant for at least six months. 95 does seem a big number in the context of staff numbers and a full DBX order book for several months.
I am surprised no one has commented on the Citi upgrade and £28 price target.
I totally get the anonmisity to derampers but would suggest gt4’s post is re-read. I think it is legitimate to question the job losses, which are front page news in Wales. Best possible spin is the previous management did not structure the workforce well (which is now being addressed) or is part of Tobias and Lawrence’s “low hanging fruit”. Worst case is dbx sales not good, but think can discount that from the two directors and non executive directors purchasers. Remember once those roles are made redundant AML cannot fill them for something like six months without opening themselves up to the risk of employment related claims.
Dukeofyork - please can you clarify if there was a typo and you meant 6p by quarter end (not Christmas). I thought your 2021 Year End Share Price Prediction was 16p. If revised downwards please can you explain for the benefit of the new posters why you are still bullish (over triple where we are now) but not as optimistic as you were.
Stephen, I hope you have retained your shares and continue on this bb. Your posts are informative. If you have left (1) good luck with your other shares and discussion group and (2) you will be added to a list of fondly remembered former posters like Dimi, Nevas, Synxs, RoxburyHouse. ATB
As well as the fib retracement helpfully raised by Dr.Anomaly, presumably at some point there will be directors buys if the share price stays how it is. Not sure how they came to the 5.5p valuation in January. But the Whites, the new II and others will surely be concerned if goes much lower than the 5.5p they paid six weeks ago. Tomorrow a big day in my eyes as Friday tried several times to break 6p, today 5.8 then 5.5p and then seemed to test below that!!!! Appreciate it picked up towards close. I am not sure if Synxs still posts here but he or she made a valid point on AML that if you believe in the company, the fundamentals etc then block out the share price and remember why you are invested. Was well under water with AML and now it is by far my best return.
For those who have not seen Stroll’s interview on CNBC, I would recommend it. As well as general AML stuff I found it interesting that: i) Reichmann was name checked by Stroll (and also appears in the Bombardier publicity) so is clearly valued (previous suggestions on here was he was being marginalised); ii) rapid covid tests for each staff member before they enter into AML premises; and (iii) Brexit having little impact due to forward planning.
Doyezee - it may be Adeem/Primewagon shareholder group selling that is causing this. Remember when II were selling and we could not understand the drop. Similar in the autumn with the other former Kuwaiti director. Very strange day so rise by almost £1.50 from previous days close and be down by the afternoon!!!!
Hopefully doyezee. Tradegate ok so far so fingers crossed remain above Englanger’s £19.84 support line:

All - just catching on postings and agree results were great. Were people not surprised that Stroll was not part of presentation or the Q&A? Not sure whether it was because Stroll was not there or they are getting more confident about the turnaround but Tobias and Gregor seemed more open at answering questions asked than in the July and October q and as. There also seemed more analysts present, all of which asked detailed questions, which I took as a positive.
Market had two bad days at end of week. So be interested what share does when ftse flat or goes up.
Englander - thank you for continuing to post your charts.
Doyezee - regarding your post of 25 Feb 2021 at 17:28, whilst the prices predicted may have been incorrect, I find gt4racer’s view of trends quite informative. We have lost a number of posters I valued such as Dimi, Nevas, Synxs, Amann etc and I hope we have not lost gt4racer.
