Yeah there seems to be a lot of OTT ranting here.
It can take a week to get a bleedin' plumber out at the moment (he says waiting for one)...let alone getting highly specialised experts in and out of a quarantining area.
Personally I think a lot of people on here aren't living in the real world. I had to check back as to when the DOID deal wasn announced...thinking judging by all the ranting it must have been at least a year ago....but it was only 4 months ago back in November! That's hardly any time at all, even in normal times, let alone a pandemic with travel restrictions.

Problem is Caracal Gold has Jason Brewer on the management so I wouldn't go within 1000 miles of that stock and probably explains why it's "cheap as chips" as I imagine almost nobody who's been around for long would either.

Of course their asset was bought from some rather random Australian entity that's very hard to dig up information on...

Boris Johnson used to pay Dominic Cummings. It doesn't make him not an evil hobbit. World leaders used to consult Uri Geller the spoon bending nutter. Being consulted by world leaders probably actually makes you MORE likely to be a complete lunatic than your average person.

Did a dip sample of articles on those sites and they're utter horsesh*t. The worst kind of western idiot, who'd happily see zero support to the ukranians fighting for their existence, because they think they all just want to be Russians, which they don't.

viable - just in case you'd not noticed, if you buy before Thursday, you'll get the dividend.

Of course it's behind a paywall tho, so not particularly helpful, unless you're already paying them, in which case you've likely already read it ;)

The big paragraph was a quote from a guide obviously ;)
(forgot the speech marks)

I know you can't technically sit on price sensitive news BUT you can drag out completion of things to time the release...and so if you've got some good news upcoming...you wouldn't want to do it when the market is being decimated by war (or on a Friday). So being overdue isn't a bad thing! (it's what I'd do if I had news nearing completion around this time!)

That 1milion was flagged as a 'T' trade, which is a protected transaction:
A protected transaction occurs when a large order is going through the market. The buyer (or seller) may wish to keep the order anonymous from the rest of the market as the size of the order could greatly alter the price of the stock. With a protected transaction, the dealer will put the trade through in small quantities rather than knock the whole order out in one hit. The entire transaction is reported once the deal is completed. The LSE is notified at the start and at the end of the transaction. However, the market as a whole isn't told until the end, thus the order is protected.

So, whilst it could have been a buy from previous day(s), it could easily just have been a worked sell (and that's probably a bit more likely).

And half of America is practically supporting Russia because they're still so brainwashed into believing the twisted Trumpian nonsense (there's even a Democrat presidential candidate who's starting to sound a lot like Trump). Beggars belief.

Gold just sh*t a brick and nosedived. Vlad cashing in his gold coins to pay for the war?

PS - Sky News is now showing the missile strikes on airbases if you haven't seen yet :p

Voltaire - that's quite likely ;)
And no the Russians didn't have air superiority to begin with. Ukraine has nearly 150 aircraft and over 40 attack helicopters. That's what the Russians will want to nobble (along with air defences) first, as nothing is really a match for aircraft.

There has been communication disruption Voltaire and it sounds like Russia are now going for the Ukrainian airbases and anti-aircraft defences before they move in more (which is fairly standard as they will want air superiority first).

Grimrip44 - I heard the same nonsense from people saying Putin would never invade Ukraine. Stop being so complacent and realise that history has shown wars can escalate from very little and there were people like you saying the same back then. This is fact. Being flippant about it doesn't make you brave it makes you foolish.

Never ever be complacent about war thinking it won't affect you much. That's the attitude that led to world wars in the past....and world wars with modern military firepower would be extinction-level bad.

Whilst I share the good wishes towards the Ukrainians...that did make me laugh Peoplepower1 and such a Gen Z thing to say :p
If we all call putin a prat it's really not going to make any difference to anything ;)

It's moving....had a few profit takers but every MM's ticking up now....except Numis who've been asleep since the open and are probably going to have to move soon as they've ended up on the ask which has caught up and overtaken their wide spread.

sake of = sake of avoiding
(obviously)

To use a relationship analogy he probably thinks it's easier to do it and seek forgiveness than to ask permission.
He won't be seeking forgiveness but he might be gambling on taking it back like crimea and then everyone just accepting it like crimea for the sake of a world war.
He might be right. Who knows.
Ultimately this is the problem when you have nuclear-capable aggressors - it's not easy to say "oh we'll just stop him".
