You are, as virtually always in my opinion, on the money Alfa. But credit where it's due, his first album was good.

So, I got up early and thought I'd walk down the cashpoint. I'm in Tobago for anybody who doesn't know. I pass a street food vendor. Dunno what their selling but thought I'd get one on the way back anyway. When in Rome, spread the wealth, out of cliches etc. So I am approaching said vendor when a chicken runs across the road in front of his stand.
Now, unless you live on a chicken farm you are only likely to get one opportunity in your life time like this. I rose to the occasion, pointed at said chicken and said, to an audience of 4, 2 vendors 2 customers, 'why did it do that?'
Not one of them so much as cracked a smile. I thought the Queen should have jumped on a plane to here and given me the Queens award for comedy. She may be on her way, who knows?
Anyway, to more pertinent matters. How cool was Fortune in that interview? I'm not suggesting for a minute that he listened to my advice over the years to slow down but slow down he has. First real time I have seem Mikhail speak for any length and just so impressed with the pair of them.
More than happy my retirement is in safe hands.

ld bunch do the lot.

Would have finished this nonsense but a bit ****ed and it's late. Sorry. This is part 2 by the way..

Bushveld Minerals. They dig up all this Vanarium stuff yar? Nobody knows why they do it, they just do apparently. His chum Jocasta told him all about it. Have you seen her year book picture at Roedean? I expect you have. A bit thick but cracking nuts.
Anyway, I said what has this got to do with me? Well apparently since uncle Mortimer made me senior vice president of Mortimer Mortimer Mortimer Churchill and Mortimer it's what I do. I thought it was all about lunch options and totty but apparently not. I have a billion pounds of clients money that I have to invest. Rather tiresome and frankly an awful lot of work to get my million pound a year bonus. Bung the lot in Apple I thought. That's a big share so I have been led to believe. Job done. But no, seems they want to ring the last ounce of blood from me.
So he explained it all to me. There are a lot of megawatts and trigalots and triceratops involved but to be honest it all goes like uncle Tarquin's you know what. Straight over my head.
They do say that inbetween the floggins and Foster C's special brand of entertainment I left Eton with a C grade in maths but in reality I can barely count to C.
Anyway, back to this Vanarium stuff. They dig it into the ground (after they've dug it out of the ground?) and it stops earthquakes. Well, as I told Rupert, we don't get a lot of earthquakes in Surrey. Or Gloucestershire or the Antibes or Monaco so I can't really see the point but he still thought it was a good idea.oh I nearly forgot, it's also like a steroid for ever-ready's. Quick jab in the bum and your B9 will power Cairo for a week. Assuming they have power in Cairo. Bit sketchy on the colonies I'm afraid.
So I was stepping off my private jet in Aspen and who should be getting off theirs at the same time? Jocasta! (Cracking nuts) now, as I told you, a bit thick, but she insisted on headbutting me in the face and screaming at me to pay attention or she would call nanny in her nursing home to talk some sense into me though I'm sure nanny sits in her own wee and thinks she's a frog or newt or something now.
Well it turns out this Vanarium stuff, sorry, it's actually Vanadium. You say Vanarium I say Vanadium what. Let's call the whole thing off and get that foxy bit of totty from the typing pool to lunch at Browns and a bit of how's your father what?
I digress. Don't worry, Jives will make somebody clean it up.
So anyway, where was I? Oh yes, how's your fa...... oh no sorry, Jocasta (cracking nuts)
So this Vanadium stuff is jolly useful. Half a percent added to steel makes it 30 times stronger so buildings can withstand earthquakes and not fall down and kill the peasants. Now this sort of thing is jolly useful. Especially if you are like my cousin Tarquin and insure buildings.
So basically, when Jocasta (cracking nuts) removed her ski from my nether regions she explained that there's more. You can make these big batteries out of the stuff. They go on forever apparently. Anyway, this Bushve

Well I'm behind you guys/gals time wise so I have only just read them. Got confused for a minute. Wasn't sure if they were put out by BMN or Carlsberg! Anyway going to read what you lot think now.

Gr, thank you mate. I'm seriously looking forward to meeting everbody, including you.

Ooerr mrs.

So, blue day. 2.17% up. 2 out of 3. About 3% on the week. Can't be bothered to work it exactly.

So,
Numpty5 top travel tips #3
You're going on a trip. Doesn't matter what. Visiting a butterfly farm. A Turkish belly dancing evening. A Turkistan sewing machine museum. Doesn't matter, the principal is the same.
Now, you have to remember how the tour guide earns his money. Yes they get paid but that's only part of it. They stop at certain places for comfort breaks and refreshments and what ever whereupon you are descended on by lookie lookie men and purveyors of quality goods such as snide timex's (who can honestly say they have never been tempted?) Lapidary jewellry of class and distinction, Raybuns, Omagas, flat plack cherry de-pipping machines. All the usual stuff.
Now, your tour guide gets a small, probably VERY small kickback for bringing you sheep into the lions den. Quite right too. That's how commerce works. Profit isn't a dirty word and everybody has to earn a living.
Now, this is what you do to not get hustled. You pull the tour guide to one side at the start. (You are probably one of numerous couples on this tour bear in mind) and you say this.
Here's the thing. I have a certain amount of money in this pocket. Slap a pocket for emphasis. It's in this one. It's money. Repeat it if you want. This pocket right here (slap)
At the end of this trip, whatever is left in this pocket (slap) I am going to give to YOU. Okay? (that's called qualifying and making sure they get it)

They will then bat all the hustlers away from you. Trust me, it works. It's not my best tip for avoiding hustlers but it is a good one.

Bassguy, eloquently put.

I could pop over to Trinidad if it helps. But what about my legions of travel tip followers?

Bearlybullish, pretty cr*p one today I'm afraid, got 14 days of this so can't give all the gems too early. Trust me you will be a hustler free zone by the end.

First to the important bit though. 2.13% down today. Still up overall and not worried in the slightest. We all know what's coming in 2 days.

Numpty5's top travel tips 2.
You're going quad biking. Be the last person. Can be a pain in the dessert but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Everybody is going along at the safe and sedate pace of the tour leader. But, being at the back you can drop off. Let them get a good distance in front and wind that throttle open and see if they are as dangerous as people say. They are by the way.

I don't think for one second that Vanchem is priced into the SP yet. With all the Brexit nonsense lately I think missed deadlines are programmed into our psyche at the moment and whether we know it conciously or not we have become a nation of believe it when we see it thinkers.

Oh and also dryland, as to the time, I'm in a different time zone. 4 hours behind you.

Because dryland, he wasn't supposed to give me that much. That was kind of the point.

Okay, I have been telling you for months how the SP goes up when I'm on holiday so I have decided to keep a diary. There is an added bonus because I am one of the worlds best holiday travellers. So I will be adding numpty5's top travel tips. There won't be one every day because I don't have 14 but I can promise you this. Pay attention and you will NEVER encounter a hustler abroad ever again.
Now, to the important bit.
SP - up 3.3% Not a bad start.

Travel tip 1. Tip the first day. Like mad. Especially if you are on an all inclusive holiday. Lots of people think they shouldn't have to. You are wrong. There is no point tipping on the last day because they can't help you after that. Tip like mad first day. Generally you are giving out pounds which to them is tenners. Do not take the proverbial and go over the top because that makes you a ****** and you will get no respect.
By tipping a lot however you will get their attention (and they will tell the other staff) and you will magically find your drinks get stronger and you get seen over a crowd of heads.
Want a drink to take back to your room? I have had a waiter pour a bottle of wine into 2 pint glasses for me. All for less than a round of drinks in England.

Was chatting to my financial advisor today. He reckons the way to go is to buy 3.5 million shares in a forward thinking industry leading Company earning shed loads of money already from the largest resourced most cost effective Vanadium miner on the planet with a clear plan to benefit from not only the increasing demand and price of Vanadium, but also about to quadruple it's processing facilities and with advanced proposals to benefit from what will almost certainly be the biggest growth industry of the next two decades - energy storage- and then get on bulletin boards and do everything I can to undermine them and promote rival inferior technologies. Sounds reasonable. Her name is Cupid Stunt mind.

There is no such word as 'productized'

Pretty much what I thought faramog. Still there's obviously something in it for us or Fortune the Master wouldn't be doing it. On the plus side, I'm on holiday for 2 weeks tomorrow so as I have told you before, The SP will do well.

Can somebody explain what Avalon are actually buying? Do redt have any intellectual property or is it just some degree of expertise, an order book and an overpaid board?

By the law of averages Fortune has to do a good deal at some point. But I've been here since 2013 and so far he has only ever done brilliant (sometimes astoundingly briiliant) deals, so I wouldn't put money on it. He could have bought redt with our pocket change. A weeks profit. I will be very surprised if we don't end up owning red/Avalon down the road for a fraction of their worth.
Just my opinion based on watching the master at play for nearly 7 years.
