I share scepticism about specific broker targets simply because there are so many variables that can affect the sp that it is very difficult if not impossible to consistently be accurate, whether professional or pi. I think ConMan94 made a valid comment in that the target itself is not the important point but what the thinking is behind it. It can reveal what direction the company may be travelling during the target period.

The fact that the broker is paid by the company is of course a relevant point BUT the broker also has their own reputation to think about. That should moderate wilder targets and it is also relevant to consider the quality of the company and his likely it is to deliver on plans and promises. It is worth remembering that the brokers may well have access to information not available to the wider market so I always study SPAngel and ARC comments carefully for any hints.

However it would be incorrect to say that broker targets are never accurate. For a period of time during 2017 / 2018 our broker targets were regularly achieved in reasonable time, as can be seen from the data below.

SP Angel

Target raised from 11.00 p to 14.3p (+ 30%) on 30 November 2017, and achieved as closing price at the end of March 2018, some 4 months later.

Target raised from 14.00p to 18.28p (+ 30.6%) on 23 Jan 2018, and achieved as closing price in mid April 2018, nearly 3 months later.

Target raised to 24.94p (+ 36.4%) on 27 April 2018 and achieved as closing price on 30 July 2018, some 3 months later.

ARC

ARC set initial target of 14.00p on 01 March 2018, and achieved as closing price on 29 March 2018, just 1 month later.

ARC. Raised target from 14.00p to 19.80p (+ 41.4%) on 10 April, and achieved on 26 April 2018, just 2 weeks later.

Whilst I understand some if the cynicism directed iPad broker targets I would also suggest that anyone who entirely ignores these broker reports is missing out on a potentially useful source of information.

Hope that helps.

Fantastic that she came through it Faramog.

Numpty good luck with yours. Keep bb updated ... oh and you just made the band!

Faramog and Sanchez hope no offence was caused by my intervention and I know how easy it is to get a little 'over excited' here. Been involved in a few squabbles myself. However we are all on the same team and simply want this fantastic company and its share price to do well. Having a loved one facing surgery does put things clearly into perspective.

If our health holds out then we are looking forward to an exciting year with BMN. In my opinion the BoD are doing an amazing job in building this low cost vertically integrated vanadium platform. 2020 should see more of these plans come to fruition. Should make us all happy.

Regards. Pdub

Thanks RK. She is already back to her chirpy self. Thankfully nothing like that terrible ordeal that you and Claire had to endure. Even so glad the worst is over.

Regards. Paul

GND back on ward and smiling. Looks like textbook operation. Both very relieved. GND says thanks for the well wishes. Much appreciated.

Kind regards. Paul.

Good question. Bought GND a keyboard for Xmas but she is still learning. I guess bass would be Bassguy. Drums? Well one or two contenders that keep banging on about perceived negatives!

For vocals there are so many in good voice about BMN ... enough to make a sizable choir!

Of course anyone is welcome to declare their musical talent here or suggest other appropriate band members.

Forgive the O/T. Just a bit of fun to relieve the waiting until GND comes out of theatre.

Regards. Pdub

... thanks for the well wishes. Will update bb later.

And if anyone buys her a drum kit I will hunt you down ... lol. That did bring a smile though Ophidian

Regards. Pdub.

Faramog please move on from this and improve your language.

For context I am in hospital with GirlieNextDoor waiting for her heart operation ... a little more important I am sure you would agree. We log on hoping for distraction by reading discussions about BMN only to find this pointless squabble occupying too much space. For the sake of everyone please get back to respectful posting on topic.

Regards. Pdub.

Alwaysone I thank you for those last two posts. They perfectly illustrate why you are not well received. All these useless time wasting comments about long term shareholders, yet you bring nothing positive for the benefit of others.

You have nothing to be proud of here.

Alwaysone ... this is not the BBC where every left comment has to be balanced with a right comment.

This is a bb dedicated to discussing all things BMN. Now perhaps you hadn't noticed (but then you were rather late to the party) that BMN is believed by many here to be one of the best resources companies on AIM. The astonishing progress being made by the company is the reason for the very positive comments on this bb and I see no reason to invent negatives just to please folks like you.

I was very positive about BMN back in the period 2013 to 2016 when the sp was low. I suggested that those with patience would be well rewarded. BMN was then one of the best performing shares on AIM in both 2017 and 2018 so my positivity has already been fully justified. However my confidence in the BoD is stronger now than it was then and with very good reason.

In 2019 there has been a pull back in the sp BUT the company continues to deliver on its promises and give a few surprises along the way. The last 12 months has seen the building blocks being put into place for the next phase of the company's development. That is why we are so positive here and why as far as I am concerned the short term sp is of no consequence given what appears to be looming on the horizon. I am sure that when everything falls into place this will be reflected in the share price, and maybe a lot quicker than some think.

Now if you wish to carry on your whining about your treatment here then fine but it really is a waste of time. If your posts warrant respect you will get it.

Just my opinion.

Supertanker? Speedboat? No way.

BMN is more like the Cutty Sark ... A majestic clipper pushing the boundaries of technology and trade.

Paulbpmurphy I wonder if Fortune and Mikhail share your pessimistic view of the share price?

Do you think that the V price will remain where it is for the next few years? Don't see many in the industry agreeing with you!

Do you think that take up of VRFBs is going to be that slow, despite massive pressure on a global scale to forge ahead with renewables and energy storage? Doubt if FM and MN do! Perhaps I am more honest In saying I have no idea how far and how fast the sp will rise, but I am very excited by the progress being made by the company and I would hope this will be reflected in the share price in a much shorter timescale than you suggest.

But what do I know?

Just my opinion.

Oh and thank you to those who helped me achieve my dream of owning a Martin guitar. A lovely OM-28 Modern Deluxe. I smile every time I play this beautiful guitar.

Thank you so much.

Kind regards. Paul.

... to all BMN shareholders from myself and GirlieNextDoor.

From a personal perspective 2020 surely has to be better than this year! Surgery to remove appendix on 01 January followed by bile duct cancer diagnosis on 03 January. Surgery to remove part of liver plus other bits and pieces in Febuary and chemotherapy April to September. Does rather place into perspective share price issues! A huge and heart felt thank you to all those who offered their support on this bb. It was very much appreciated.

So is 2020 going to start off on a more positive note? I certainly hope so but GirlieNextDoor has to have minor heart surgery next week and I have my next scan on Saturday. If we get through that and the sp rises I think we can assume that 2020 will be a lot better!!!

BMN has made amazing progress this year, despite sp issues, and I think the next 12 to 24 months have the potential to make shareholders very happy.

Have a happy and safe New Years Eve and see you all next year.

Kind regards. Paul and Su.

Great work RK. Thank you for sharing.

Regards. Pdub.

993444 RK is perfectly entitled to his opinion and to express it on this bb. Whether or not you agree with him your reply was way out of line. I don't recall you being so rude before on this bb but I believe you owe RK an apology.

He is a strong supporter of BMN and has done much to maintain a positive tone to discussions here. Despite he and his wife having had to face the challenge of cancer he has always found time to be supportive of myself and others going through similar ordeals. I believe RK to be a kind and generous person and worthy of more respect than was shown by your comment.

And for the 13 that recommended that comment ... really? Merry Christmas to you.

I don't do specific sp predictions so I will not be participating in the Corbine Cup.

Fizzy perhaps one of the reasons that you receive a hostile response here is because sometimes what you write us just plain silly, not to mention misleading. This quote below is a case in point from one of your posts on Thursday:

"... Unlike the boyband I do not pretend all is going well sp wise.... "

Firstly the use of the term 'boyband' which I presume is a very childish insult aimed at all the positive minded shareholders that post on this bb. How old are you?

Second please point to a single post from those same 'boyband' members that suggests that anyone is happy with the share price. I can't find one. However I can only assume that you are incapable of distinguishing between that and those that are happy with the progress that the company is making ... a very different matter. Personally I am delighted with the company's progress and I defy you to be able to give me one reason why I shouldn't be.

I suggest you stop fretting over the day to day sp and concentrate on what the company is doing to grow the business and improve efficiency in order to generate a longterm return for you as a shareholder.

I neither like or dislike you. I don't know you. I can only judge you by what you have written on this bb. If someone writes silly, aggressive, misleading or insulting posts then they will be judging in that context.

Try toning down the attitude and you may receive a more courteous response.

Kevkan thank you for taking up my invitation to discuss BE. I agree with your comments.

I am a little disappointed at the lack of appetite to discuss BMN operations this morning yet plenty of speculation concerning shorting etc. However fair enough that's where the focus is at present. In the end none of this will matter providing BMN continue to deliver.

Therefore I shall wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Switching off for a few days.

Regards. Pdub.

... or is 2020 looking like a transformational year for Bushveld Energy and the energy storage industry in general?

The evidence placed in the public domain through BMN interviews and RNSs certainly pushes me towards that conclusion. Any thoughts?

What a good job the company (BMN) is doing so incredibly well then isn't it!

Some of you lot need to stop being so bl**dy miserable. It's Christmas!

2020 is looking like a year full of action for BMN. Aren't we all so lucky to be invested here before the sp takes off again.

I going out to get slaughtered on 0 % beer tonight yet again. Some of should think yourselves lucky that nothing worse has happened to you than a little dip in the share price and for reasons nothing to do with the company.

Night all.
