Tilly, if you are on a windows PC. Screenshot the image (with it all in the screen lol), paste to paint application, upload to a file sharing site like dropbox or Google Drive. Viola. You could even add text to the image via paint to add more context.
Personally I go with catbox cos it's free so naturally it's labelled as malware/adult content but I've never had any issues with it.
LB. You are also a gentlemen and a scholar. That's some fine legwork to produce that.
Totally understandable. I may have only ever being small fry here bet between EUA and a couple others now I wonder how different my circumstances would be if I'd being more disciplined in top slicing. It's nice to say I've seen a 10000% gain, be even better if I'd banked some of that.
But we live and learn, all the best to you Ian. For whatever reason I'll never forget my boo boo over the term consolidation when i first joined EUA, the rest of the BB cast me off as a bot fly but you gave me a chance and an explanation.
A retired telecoms engineer my be all you are in your eyes but to me you're a gentlemen and scholar.
Folio, truth be told I've noticed declaring holdings rubs some up the wrong way and I must confess to having my own Mr_Wolfe side tehe. I agree about the AGM as well, I think some are building themselves only to be let down by their own expectations. However you never know what a Thursday could bring with EUA and it's understandable that despite the official RNS comms that some investors are feeling like mushrooms.
Myself I'd like some clarity on amount of Rhodium we have. Knowing that could make me of the mind we want to retain more of what we already have as opposed to aiming for the fattest special divi possible which is what I want as a minor LTH.
Have to concur with CTC, I've being here long enough to view calamari as slippery but I'm more live and let live than most I suppose. That said I strongly disagree that there's nothing wrong with shorting. Ask certain Micro-asian countries what they think of one George Soros and his shorting antics.
In a sane and fair world investors absolutely should be able to profit from both directions of a given companies share price, or commodity, currency etc but as is; we don't live in a sane and fair world so personally I'm on the side of outlawing or at least severely limiting amounts of leveraged margin available to people even if you can back it up. That includes the rich and vapid.
That said I do agree with Calamari that the unlimited risk of shorting is not for me and I consider myself high risk high reward and that in of itself, if the efficient market theory is to be believed, should act as the correction method for bad/dangerous behavior. Looking at BR I don't know so much. Anyway.
21k in ISA, most the burger flipper has ever owned in it. The long untouched 140 quid trading account is down to 7500 shares due to a derisk early on into the special military operation and moving out recently kinda necessitated a slice and could demand more before the good ship EUA get's righted. Was kinda hoping this would be 8.5pish by now so i could flog 2500 for 200 quid as I could do with the scratch. Ce la vie.
First couple thousand bought in January after talk of Hydrogen focused EUAv2. Then a few rounds of sell and rebuy along with a couple of dip buying during Russo-Ukie conflict and voila. From 28p avg to 13.9p avg for ISA and as ever 0.982p for trading.
I still think the ACF report is the target range, (or rather 80% of that range for divi) due to a myriad of variables like strategic nature of basket of metals, natural scarcity, scale, % of shares held by BOD etc but damn if there's not some holders fatigue setting in over here.
It's amazing how moving out changes one's perspective and priorities lol. Papa need some gosh darn money! Second ever rent in 4 days and I'm looking at 2 credit cards thinking you're gonna pay one another off this month lol. And the gaffer wonders why I'm now chewing him out for a pay rise regularly.
And it's not like I don't deserve it, staff in my place pretty much insist that I cook their food when on break as opposed to the other chefs and I'm the one who consistently gets compliments to chef when I'm on grills. Kinda frustrating when the servers get tips and drinks bought, chefs in pubs get compliments.
Just something to bear in mind the next time you're in local boozer and slip the server a fiver after a good meal, unless you want them and them alone to benefit from it due to stellar service you may want to check if it goes in a jar and also if that jar is for just front of house.
Bit of an industry gripe there, I only get tips at Christmas. Some pubs are better than others. Well that's enough bo ll ox fro
10 cans of Darkfruits for me lol. Started a work holiday on Sunday, my PC broke last Wednesday. I've being climbing the walls without muh PC and I just got it fixed and back to me an hour ago so just about to enjoy a short bike ride to the local Tesco to procure drink and munchies for a long overdue night of geeking out.
Think I might go with a horror/survival horror game, be interesting to play one of them for the first time in my own place all on my lonesome XD
GLA and enjoy your evening.
Dickie, I have found keeping trading trading for early entry and isa for derisked position building helps for peace of mind in these high risk high reward aim investments. For example with EUA I had the one trading account investment avg 0.982p for nearly 2.5 years, at one point 140 quid was 10000% up. Never sold any until recent events tho…doh!
So despite starting my ISA position in the 27p range in EUA, off the back of RNS talking about EUA2,only for Putin to totally not invade Ukraine and EUA’s fall to hurt like hell the low avg trading account helped keep me calm and rational while all about me where losing their heads. My Isa avg overs there is now 13.9p so better positioned for whatever transpires with EUA.
It’s not quite the case with UFO yet there’s certainly an element of holders fatigue borne from a languishing SP increasingly, I would argue, detached from fundamentals (you don’t need production to get 1-5% NPV of 3 month spot from Mr Market but dudes being depressed even b6 his standards lately). However because I stopped averaging up in the trading to focus on a isa position in the 1p-0.75p range it’s not quite as frustrating because I know if something happened like my pedal bike broke I can still take from trading in profit to cover the unexpected things in life. Well, a couple of times until trading would be no more.
Sometimes I do wonder how different things would be now if I’d being more disciplined with that 3p spike, I would not be sustaining 4.5 grand of debt picked up through lockdown that’s for sure.
That said I’m 9nky talking hundreds here and there so maybe that’s why I’m more chill than some other investors dabbling in the high risk side of things. Plus I do smoke an appreciable amount of herb, best part of moving out? Smoking a bowl full in my kitchen whilst stark naked having just stumbled out of bed XD Wot? I’ve lost 4 stone in the past 1.5 years so I cut a good look these days :P
Anyway, enough waffle from me. Horses for courses as they say and just sharing my own anecdotal experience of investing these past few years. All the best everyone.
Being a smoggie who grew up in the shadow of Eston Hills/ICI Industrial Works I knew some stuff about iron ore mining and steel production(depending on wind direction washing would come in dirtier than it went out hence the term smoggie ) but like you Norm, I know way more after a few years here. I still remember being a newbie reminding people about the potential of a DSO operation while most where focused on silver in Mexico and the as yet to be acquired Elizabeth Hills.
Seems like it’s always a case of this time next year with me and my investments but that DSO operation in 2023 may well be just the capitol catalyst I need to bust on out of the wage.
GLA.
Lithium evaporates.
Stay frosty people. Emotion and investing don’t mix well.
GLA.
Actually had that happen one year when I was a kid although they didn’t twok the tree as well. Scarred my mam for many many years to come. Was about 20 years before she could put presents round the tree on Xmas eve without being panicked that someone was going to nick them.
But yeah, probably going to be a painful opening. Salvage what you can, bottom draw them, accumulate for a later date/other projects to bear fruit. Thems your options IMO.
GLA.
Oh ffs. Wrote a well worded spiel that amounted to; check Rare Groves posting history. Technically inspired, nothing good to say about anything they ain’t holding unless a trade went bad on them. But then page reloaded on me for some reason….
Also I said some stuff about still holding, pulled some out to take advantage of geopol inspired EUA stuff, moved out 3 weeks ago, it’s being a helluva couple months and weeks, would love to add, stuck in the wage cage firmly now, no more investing for this burger flipper, UFO gives me most hope for my own personal future out of the 6 holdings I have retained.. More so after talk of offtake partners has just derisked UFO in my eyes.
Anyway. All the best people, even you Rare but broken record/broken clock playing a different game to investors etc etc.
Littleredrooster, preach it! Q word is banned in my work kitchen. I know causation and correlation are not necessarily linked but ye gods the amount of times that word has being uttered by a server or manager and brrrrr goes the ticket machine within moments of them saying it.
As per usual my timing could be better but after a while of NT to buy on Halifax the burger flipper is in off the back of HfB's posting in BOIL last week. It's hard to resist tcf levels of resources, more so in the current global climate. It's nice to have some exposure to lithium as well.
21667 shares 0.5538p avg Not much but enough for my limited means although I am kicking myself for not getting in here earlier. CLON is one of a few that has sat on a low MCAP watchlist (sub 15 million) for over a year but never had the scratch to invest in or my attention was focused elsewhere. Decided over the weekend I was gonna change that today.
Although being completely honest being a burger flipper and having moved out last week this may turn into a trade if things go mental short term :)
Finally can I just say that reading this interim statement was entirely pleasant as opposed to overly tedious, whoever wrote it has talent.

Poor comparison. One man's power tripping ego (Kwon) brought Luna to it's knees by making it a target which made it go the way of all so called stable coins. I like blockchain tech but yikes some of the spin off stuff is basically techno-ponzi schemes.
Also where's the rug pull here Calamari?
I've never invested in crypto but understand it more than most who have lol, be interesting to see what Dimitry had in mind with Lybrion, physically backed tokens with PGMs and that RNS which talked about getting approval for permanent underground storage facilities. That dot joining there has always excited and intrigued me.
HfB is not the messiah, he's a very well researched investor!
Tell you what, I could do with some of that Chudditch stuff right now. Moved out finally Friday gone and without gas or leccy since cos previous tenant got it cut off. Phone died mid conversation with EDF on Friday and work all day Saturday abd Sunday.
Hopefully with a fully charged phone and powerbank via work I can get that problem sorted today. Be nice to actually plug my fridge and freezer in let alone get my PC up and running again lol.
GLA. Our time will come when Baron boil'th over.
