Looking at the time stamp yesterday, it will likely be a sell, and was sitting on the book which dropped the price in the afternoon.
Really doesn't matter now, as its been filled, giving the current SP

Judge-mental - as VAST have been in a negotiated process for a while, we don't know what, if anything they have had to compromise on. I think they may have to give up something(??) to actually get it to court after all these years - Zimb hasnt changed that much

And two more things - it was good that he said on the pod, that the money raised wasn't going to pay the deferred salaries (it was an obvious concern) - however, maybe Sandy could help re his other business interest) if he deferred his salary for so long, hes got £85k to buy shares? If he's been sitting on a cash pile for a while, he could have extended some bridging loans to VAST re cash flow hiccups due to missed shipments and thus reduced dilution

Steward, after so many years, the diamond news is undoubtedly welcome, especially in terms of timing, re the debt cliff in May - the more considered approximations of value mean they should pretty much cover all the debt - personally, I think actually getting the money back to VAST Plc isn't going to be straightforward, but it should be able to be used as collateral in the shorter term.

I've long advocated the need for a lot more drilling at BP, but wasn't aware of the license conditions make it a necessity - though as usual, we haven't been told anything about the drilling that was meant to take place last year Q2/Q3 - maybe it has been done and that's why they've been able to start bring the copper concentrate grade closer to the needed level (25%-28%) - imo, they should release a mining plan presentation, covering drilling, grade, revenue etc, to show what they are trying to achieve. Its so long since any 'investors' have had anything meaningful to look at re BP. - would think Q2, BP may break even - Q3 maybe VAST at topco level
TJK may surprise, but as normal, investors are given minimal information, allowing the sentiment manipulators plenty of room to speculate

Sadly, historically, AP's podcasts are always more hot air than reality - like an estate agent really - as he knows, he cant be held to anything not RNS'd - if the company is in a better position, put it in black and white

Does that answer some of your Q?

IQ15.7 "BP- is probably profitable now-awaiting news"

AP did a podcast yesterday, which mentioned when he hoped BP might break even (always optimistic)

He didn't say it is profitable now - are you suggesting you know more than him?

InvestingGenius (cough), your post at 8.00
'Yep i've been here sin the sub 0.2p days when the board was full of posters saying it was a strong sell and was going to 0.1p'

You already rewriting history?
You were saying strong buy at 0.4 - 0.45, then said the same thing at 0.2. Now the news has worked out for you, hopefully you averaged down enough at 0.2 to make some money.
Btw, just before you try and sl@g me off - check my posting history, cos I havent made any 0.1 price predictions or said strong sell
Did you and techguru participate in the placing thus time round?

Muck 'I wonder if part of the placing proceeds will be used to pay Director deferred salaries…'

I wondered that too - they did say on 31st Oct placing that they had near term liabilities of £933.000 (and didn't state that the money raised then would be used to settle those)

'AP got it right on this one Give him a bit of credit at least.'

Are you saying that to everyone who got impaled on the spike you were inflating??

Well the placing isnt a surprise and at least it's a decent chunk (they had agreed to pay 2nd 500k to Mercuria (1st last May)) so it was needed
I had asked for directors buys in the market last week to show confidence in the diamond news - well at least AP has contributed in the placing (why not other directors?)

You could almost wonder whether some of the rampers were here to help get the placing away?

Dbh 'Not worth considering something more than 5 years ago.'

Remind me, how many years ago did AFCR have the diamonds taken away from them? Bet your considering them now though....

Why K3NTY - are you a stubborn, smelly, hard to remove stain......

gemstar, you think, yet others only abuse
Yes, if those warrants have been exercised (why wouldn't you) then that cash could prove invaluable
It would also possibly explain the size of some of the trades, which were being questioned by many

But sadly some dont think past their keyboard....

Mr8008 must be generated by a poor ChatGPT bot??

Mickey, have you been writing another chapter from your autobiography ??

‘Pointless and clueless poster ’

Edd 'Pecten is one of our resident deramper/shorters,'

More accurate might be 'Pecten is one of our resident realists'

You like trying to blame VASTs underformance on things like "they act like a pandemic and the Ukranian war should not of hindered Vast from working" but fail to explain why they have performed worse (in SP terms) than the majority of listed companies over the same time ? Or are they a special case because you timed your buy in badly?

K3NTY (and dealer 55, you've been around for long enough, so should know better)- heres a free tip, try debating the points raised, not the poster who raised them.
If you can't manage that, go and buy some new pom-poms

K3NTY - judging by your post below on VLRM recently, are you being a tad hypocritical.....

"A lot of investors unhappy with RP at Wishbone, he seems to be an expert at crashing a company’s share price. Last August wishbone trading about 17p and less than 6 months on the share price is under 4p. Vlrm on a similar path and will drop lower imho.
Just pointing out facts to potential investors who may risk it here."

Thankyou for the mature reply machoman - accurate and factual information should always be welcomed

Of course dbh, you have control over my posting behaviour.....

Why, is anything I posted factually incorrect?

K3NTY, like Firwood, I sold them last week, no where near the top, but a nice profit nonetheless
