Market 'fug' has been too strong for any meaningful action. Hopefully a high 390s finish and a 400 push through tomorrow.

Have a feeling some news on the way.

Have a feeling we are going to get an RNS soon. Some knock news from DRC but also buy out news for the mi-west grain guys (soz forgot name)

JDOS - That page load is slower than the Egyptian judicial system.

Our little egyptian lawyer buddy seems you be one of these guys who plays both side of the fence legally and morally. Kind of par for the course in that neck of the woods.

and this one. http://www.egyptindependent.com/court-sentences-20-charged-with-insulting-judiciary-to-3-yrs-in-prison/ The guy is on the ropes. Why is this case still relevant?

Then you read this and realise what a screwed up country it all is. http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/64/139886/Egypt/Politics-/Egyptian-anticorruption-activist-arrested,-investi.aspx

It also means, 'Everything is negotiable' even taxes.

JMO - I would say that if we were to remain in the EU and/or EAA then I think we should get a vote on the abolition of parliament. Why have layers of government? See how quickly they change their tune then.

investing.com is pretty good for live prices.

407

and risk missing out on the RNS tomorrow morning?

Craig - With the FTSE looking better and Copper looking a bit more peppy, I think we could see just that. Sometimes it takes a while for the market to process the news, so we could see gap-ups over the next few hours.

DH - I think you'll find that it is all interconnected. My guess is that, now this has been resolved that the Gertler and that other chancer will find things a little more difficult in the courts. I also think that the $5bn right down will ensure the likelihood of anyone playing ball should an 'investigation' will mean that 'other problem' will be a none starter and will likely fade into the background. Glencore know that the benefits of the DRC far outweigh a piffling $5bn. It just needs the market to wake up to this now and we could be at 420 by the end of the week.

Guys - This is the classic sell on news muppets. You see them outside buildings with a cig hanging out of their mouths 'selling out' before 09.00 when they get called indoors for that team building meeting. Post-09.00am is when the grown up step back in. Said muppets will be jumping back in at 11.30-12.30 when then 'nip out to Pret' for 10 mins.

I have a feeling that this is the first of a quite a bit of newsflow we will receive over the next few days. It's quite obvious that this Katanga issue was the big bone of contention that was being used by the government. They allowed the other 'legal' actions to be instigated and to perpetuate in the courts as leverage to create a better outcome for this debt. Keep your eyes peeled

shads - I'm not sure if that's true for PFC anymore. Does seemed to have settled around this price in the last week or so. It feels like it is awaiting a 'nudge'. As I always maintain, contract news or asset sale is critical now. Pretty reasonable contract news flow last year kept the wolf from the door but these none RNS 'niblets' are clearly not getting the market excited and maybe creating a gap for hedge funds to increase their shorts. Nothing would give me greater please than to see some big news that would induce pain for that bunch of parasites but some PR is required beyond sponsoring Dubai's Best Hat competition.

Pity this wasn't a 'strong blue' day on the market vitals (FTSE / £ / Copper etc) as this would have rocketed way beyond 400. Grabs popcorn.
