Kelso and Ashley must just be scratching their heads in amazement and laughing at all these events unfolding. It's almost as if we have lost the plot.

I personally am interpreting this that we have NOT had a good first 5 weeks start to the year @THG Nutrition (and hence now starting to change the faces).

Just imvho

Everybody decides for themselves but I just see it moving very quickly indeed Coldspy and particularly if we get the slightest sniff of a formal plan and it will probably become impossible to buy and move fast if we get any leaks of Putin and Zelenski moving to a phone call, video conferenced call or them proposing to meet. Then it would be lift off.

It's not even back to the 105p to 110p level it was at prior to that fictitious and super exaggerated claim worth only at face value about £800k. So I'm sitting tight to avoid any rushes and adding on any dips.

Prior to today the company had one CEO, now it seemingly has 5.

This point needs absolute clarification from a corporate governance perspective.

What is happening to the 1 CEO that they had prior to today - Matt Moulding?

Dippy Airplane,

Absolutely right that this should have been RNS'd.

Hopefully MM now reverts to a Stelios at Easyjet type backseat shareholder only type role and actually lets other people get on with making the decisions.

Guess who called that very move first !! OSG

I swear Matt reads this bulletin board (and with good reason)

On the front foot this morning...

Brett Baier *Fox* News - apologies.

All eyes on Keith Kellog and the US Vice President JD Vance and their visit to Geneva and then onwards to Kiev...

Bret Baier Fix News

"Lets talk about that. I know you want a Russia Ukraine peace deal. How do you get both sides to the table?"

Donald J Trump

"I think it's going to happen, we've made tremendous progress in the last week...We're dealing with the Russians, We're dealing with the Ukranians. I think there is something going to be done, I hope..."

@20.24 onwards,

The negative read across being on widening the spread downwards

Will IR be of interest to musk ?, that would give mfai a boost

Maybe not Musk but there will be others.

Surprised at the negative read across tbh.

What's with the big spread btw and given they have openly said they will beat this years and next years guidance?

Good old Elon !!

Definitely a company maker @ Filtronic

A bit nearer to that FTSE250 entry point.

Loverly

Kyk just to add to what you say re Frasers in that they don't appear active today for its a quiet volume day. But I'll bet on a poor market day and when the MM's decide to knock the share price back then that is when they will become very active. Don't forget they have got to just over 5% already without moving the share price dial upwards.

The newsflow needs to come not from others but from the present THG Board, and in abundance, and to make sure the market cap is sitting nicely above the automatic entry position for FTSE250 inclusion so it is not left to chance.

Failure to get there and imvho I fear will open up all sorts of old wounds and cans of worms such as the constancy of previous delays, lack of action including RNS Reach, AGM voting etc...

LT1, the articles I've read say that around 50% of the Rare earth minerals are in the Donbas. That leaves 50% to Ukraine, so actually a sizeable bargaining chip given the vast size of the country. I second though what you say in that it's good to see physical update that communication and engagement direct with Putin is happening.

I said this last week, Trump is the best chance of peace that Ukraine / Russia have and that is primarily because Putin relates to and likes Trump (and his direct leadership style). They get on and importantly Trump has got a full team "all hands to the pump" on this to deliver a peace deal.

So incorporating a several articles together things pans out as per timetable this is the suggested pathway.

~Kellog to Geneva this week to unveil / discuss the Trump Plan with EU leaders. (Get them to "Buy In")

~Kellog then travelling on Kiev

~Trump meeting with Zelenski at some point this week (date / location unknown) But it's Trump so we will get to hear!!

All hopefully working towards

~ A phone call between Zelenski / Putin (Meeting between Trump / Putin we might also expect prior)

~ A face to face meet between Zelenski / Putin (No doubt Trump would also be in attendance if so)

~ Ceasefire agreement / Territory Freeze

Fingers crossed that he does deliver for their should be an almighty rebound @FXPO.

Just some clarity on the Rare earth minerals

Just look how piddly things are on the volume front and not one thing seemingly being done to inspire anyone to invest.

No - RNS Reach, RNS, Capital markets days, Investor webinars, CEO in the City, or doing the rounds with the media of fund managers to sell the company ...

Less than 45k volume traded in the first half hour this really needs some concerted effort to get this over the line for the FTSE 250 and not simply left to chance and hoping for bad luck on others market caps come 4th March.

Yes nice unexpected boost and Elliot as ruthless as they come on the activist investor front.

Yes, Lots of storeis now doing the rounds and Donald J Trump now seems to putting a lot of devoted time into securing this peace deal. Phone call with Putin and everything pointing to a meeting with Zelenski this week. Would not be in the slightest surprised if it's at Geneva later this week...

Cong they were eligible for inclusion when they entered the ESCC category but it is decided by the market caps of all the companies around them on the 4th March, as Rock8 points out. If things stay as they are then they miss out.

Best checking the rankings in 3 weeks time as it will give a good indication and hopefully between now and then there is a conscious and sustained effort with news and no manipulation or kick back off the shorters.
