How do I recommend your post MrPaisa? Cheers, per ardua ad astra

I shouldn't worry too much, stokey. I'll bet Chris Fraser doesn't either. Regards, per ardua ad astra

Absolutely, GK. I must admit to noticing a few similarities myself. Although I'd prefer not to dwell on the advancing years, however. Cheers, per ardua ad astra

''Selftrade showing a price of 35.86 right now.....happens all too often. Does anyone know why?'' ..... Because the prices are delayed by 15 minutes and 35.86 was the price at the top of the offer during the closing auction. Give it until AT LEAST 16:50 in future and you will no doubt find the price adjusts to reflect the accurate closing price. Regards, per ardua ad astra

Lol. Plenty of scope for a typo there, Scotty. per ardua ad astra

''Fortunately we don't feed Poly4 to animals. Bit too crunchy.'' ..... Don't you believe it: ''Maiden animal feed take-or-pay offtake agreement'' http://otp.investis.com/clients/uk/sirius-minerals/rns/regulatory-story.aspx?cid=485&newsid=469915 Regards, per ardua ad astra

I hope those that can make it this year have a thoroughly enjoyable time and, whilst I have no doubt whatsoever it will be positive, what leads you to think that there will be plenty of 'news' as such? Procedural issues aside, AGMs tend to be more of a roundup of what has been achieved in the past year and expectations for the year ahead. At such an exciting time in the company's development it will good to have the opportunity to chat with the executive over coffee and biscuits of course; and therein lies the true usefulness of attending. A slightly frank and informative or unguarded remark or, some more flesh on a particular issue is what really makes the day in my opinion. If you think there is likely to be anything announced that is not yet in the public domain well, I think you may be somewhat disappointed. If you do go, I hope you find it useful, however. Perhaps you could be so good as to report back any of your findings to those of us unfortunately unable to attend this year? Regards, per ardua ad astra

No. Not at all. Particularly when using DMA. But that's a whole other issue. From the perspective of an average PI, if I wanted to buy shares today and like now, the spread is 33.81 vs. 33.88, yet my broker is offering me 33.84 to buy - so I take it, what do you think the transaction will be recorded as? Cheers, per ardua ad astra

Perhaps there hasn't been 5,187,103 in sells or 2,970,794 in buys then? Regards, per ardua ad astra

Lol, fair play. Good luck to you then. per ardua ad astra

''I am here until buy out at many multiples of current SP.'' ..... But... will you be happy with that? per ardua ad astra

''there is a slight possibility of a small dividend in 2021.'' ..... Yeah... about the same possibility of Scotland winning the World Cup this summer, I reckon. per ardua ad astra

Morning, Cranleigh. The Redcar Steelworks site was highlighted in the Telegraph article on the 12th also: ''Sirius wants to build its own loading dock at Teesside. Before then, however, it hopes to make use of the dock that shipped metal from the steelworks at Redcar, which closed in 2015. The abandoned steelworks, at the tip of the Wilton site, casts a long shadow over the area''. If there's synergies, benefits in timescale or efficiencies to be found it's great to know we can rely on our CEO to unearth them (pun intended). Incidentally, I wasn't aware Will Woods was born within earshot of St Mary-le-Bow Church. Who�d ever have thought it, eh? Cheers, per ardua ad astra

''These shares whether large or small holdings are in sticky PI hands.'' ..... Hiya, Camp. Hope you are well mate. Whilst I have no doubt your hands are rather sticky (best not go into that though, eh!), I'm afraid I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that one. Don't get me wrong, there will be quite a few hardcore PI's, from whose cold, rigor mortis clenched fingers you'd have to prise their shares, however, on the whole, I reckon your average PI will struggle to stay the course once long fastasised for riches start to become a reality. And tbh, I wouldn't condemn them. Once the s.p. starts trading in three figures a 10% drop (something we've all ridden many times before at these levels) starts to become an entirely different proposition. The way I see it, true riches are made in the market in one of 3 key ways (of course there will be variations on the theme, however...). By far the easiest... 1) Sheer good fortune/luck; being in the right place and at the right time as something entirely propitious appears out of left-field. You may not have earned it, but you'll jolly-well take it thanks very much! 2) Hard work and persistent diligence; researching, putting in the hours, being disciplined and consistently banking decent returns. You won't get rich quick, but you play the percentages game. And you work VERY hard to turn them in your favour. And, 3) You pick a stock, you research it exhaustively and, come what may, you hang in there regardless. There will be times when fortune scowls and berates you and it's hard to steel your nerve and hold on. But you do. And then, there will be other times - quite probably even more testing - when fortune conspires to favour and to bless. Where you see significant returns on your investment; you've 3 bagged, 4 bagged or, even five bagged. But we're not talking penny shares any more; that initial investment in pennies is trading in pounds now and you've got enough for a new car - maybe two new cars... and a holiday. Your daughter's wedding! Can you hold on? Can you keep your eyes on the prize and just be patient that little bit longer? Well... if you can, good on you, you've certainly earned your return. Through all the ups and the downs and the interminable waiting, if you can hold your nerve, stay the course, and defer significant rewards for the ultimate reward well... you've earned every penny. It won't have come easily but, sometimes simply holding will be the hardest thing we'll ever do. Regards, per ardua ad astra

Good morning, Vin. I generally trade Sirius using CFDs (and they�re simply indispensable for bed and breakfasting or bed and ISA), however, with DMA the spread on the order book actually works in your favour because you can buy on the bid and sell on the offer. Can't help you with spread bets though as I've never placed a spread bet in my life. Cheers, per ardua ad astra

First couple of hours of the week, people are taking up positions. Hence the initially high volumes. Swing traders, day traders, hour and minute traders all take their positions. Naturally - unless something substantive to underline it occurs - volume then dissipates somewhat. As for resistance, on a daily chart it's calculated by identifying pivot points based upon the previous month's high/low/close data. Once you have your pivots, with a few simple calculations you can then determine support and resistance levels. And should anyone be interested ~34.5 is 1st resistance and roughly 36p 2nd.

I know, it�s crazy, right? Whenever I buy a small number of shares a guy turns up on a moped laden down with some of Domino's finest. A 55 share buy seems to be a pepperoni with extra cheese and 56 a pepperoni 'passion'. I'm building my portfolio whilst trying to decode the menu. You can imagine my dismay though, when feeling somewhat adventurous once, I thought I'd buy 57 shares only for the fella to turn up with a Hawaiian ffs. I was gutted. Pineapple on a pizza - what's that all about? Sheesh... per ardua ad astra

''you need to push your bed against the wall mate'' ..... Ha, ha. What a delightfully charming turn of figurative prose, Scotty. I liked that. Cheers, per ardua ad astra

''Shorters are having to close their position to meet a margin call'' ..... Good morning, Kapersky. Please don't be overly offended, but to my mind such a statement - whilst potentially accurate in the odd case or two - is little more than speculation somewhat akin to someone else hypothesising 'holders will have to sell to pay off their credit cards'. There may be someone feeling the heat with a margin call somewhere, however, I think it would be somewhat naive for investors here not to appreciate that the vast majority of short positions held in Sirius will not be closed out with any ''short squeeze'' at all. Rather, they will most likely be closed through bond conversions. Of course the corollary to that is any potential selling pressure from bonds that are converted has already been absorbed by the market via the initial short positions themselves.

Good morning, WHATIF. The MTS (Mineral Transport System) has been designed to accommodate our nameplate full capacity of 20mtpa. This is a huge volume of Poly4 yet, there will be no need for additional tunnelling. It�s all been conceived as a part of the current plan and engineering schedule. Regards, per ardua ad astra
