Hi jaygee, What I have recognized with broker upgrades over the many years is that they are reactive not proactive. When a trend is built in to the SP, they call it out. They are just saying "hey look, the share price has gone up and we think it's going to keep going up because, well, eerrr, that's what we think and, errr, it's safer to say that to say it's going to go down" ".

A small equity issue, this should not impact the share price one iota, but - what is missing though is a short sentence to what they want to use the 12K stg for. Normally a company would say. Equity to Directors - here we go, but they must believe it has value to them in the future, so that's a positive to hang onto. Always look on the bright side of life. . JP

GDRs defined, advantages and disadvantages: http://thismatter.com/money/stocks/global-depositary-receipts.htm

The GDRs started conditional trading in London at $9.70. Conditional trading occurs ahead of a company's official listing, when an IPO can still be pulled.

Darn those pesky Ukrainians and Russians. Still need to eat though.

Citigroup - BUY - 198p

I do hope this business with the pesky Ukrainians and the pesky Russians increases the demand for all things precious and non-pecuniary. Afterall, diamonds are forever, unlike currency.

Good morning all you North Riverites. Thanks for the heads-up. I won't be attending unfortunately as I'm based on foreign shores. Anyway it does say it's suitable for "sophisticated investors", so that excludes me right there. Would be very pleased to hear from anyone who does attend. Perhaps someone could kindly post an updated on this board.

I think I need to do A LOT more reserch here! I am not sure now whether a) there has been a formal IPO and b) whether the price quoted here is in USD or STG. Off to reserch the company performance in Russia and see if they have any overseas expansion plans ... http://www.lse.co.uk/ukIpoNews.asp?code=73yrx43f&headline=UPDATE_2Ukraine_overshadows_market_debut_of_Russias_Lenta

Given the political situation there should be a sale off here. Possibly these can be picked up for 6p soon.

Let me be the first here. Buy.

And you posted at 17 minutes past one.

All your lucky numbers again Seatrout. Good weekend to all.

True, makes it look like a "pump and dump", which it's not based on the facts.

Hi pepemartinez. Now's your chance to buy at around 4.6p. Did you bite yet? Waiting, like me? Bit like waiting for Godot - I'm not sure what I'm waiting for now!

Being in here big time is the best investment I have ever made. End of,

Four more weeks of this? I will try to time a good top up in the next 2 weeks, no rush though. That will put me at 3.5mil shares. Lock shields!

The 4th of March is the first anniversary of the spike to 13p. What a glorious day that was.

Good call beanpole IMO too. The question is .. just how low can a PI get in at? 4.1p? 4.7p, 3.9p? As long as this is bobbling around at these prices I can't see much happening. If it had a quick down spike to 3p you might see a load of new money coming in.

Waiting to be proven wrong, but I still think the corridor is 10p to 12p over the next 5 weeks or so.
