'The shorts were', sorry predictive text

Shared by John Lee - 'We spoke with the China Iron & Steel Research Institute (CISRI). During the second half of the year, we forecast vanadium prices to recover and push higher as the stricter standards are enforced, with inspections at all Chinese rebar mills scheduled throughout June and July.'

Every worthwhile source is forecasting vanadium price rises this year. That will mean yet again we end the year with a healthy average vanadium price and more great profits.

The shorts we're an opportunity that is passing. Anyone decent started their short much higher and will be looking to close or, looking as I shared on Twitter yesterday, has already closed out some of their position.

The large shorters always bail first leaving the rest of the sharks to fight each other to get out.

And I would further note that following the Vanchem announcement the subsequent completion of the acquisition is not far away and anyone with an eye on history here will know what Bushveld's share price did around completion of the Vametco transaction.

If anything this is a better deal and there aren't any warrants in play

These visitors do nothing but embarrass themselves with their lack of any genuine knowledge and pseudo-calculations. They never present any kind of well articulated argument, it is always personal insults and goading.

Anyone who bought in during the rise through the 30's and 40's bought into a company whose growth plans have crystallised and grown considerably since then,. Not least by the recent acquisition of Vanchem and the absolutely clear building of momentum behind South Africa's move towards renewables and energy storage, a space within which Bushveld Energy is positioned to be a major player in,and one.that will also extend across the breadth of the African continent.

That's the thing about shorting, the folks who do it will do and say anything for a quick buck, they will backstab and denigrate, contradict and mislead. That extends to each other when it is time to sell
- which is what creates the inevitable short squeeze as they race to close before each other. Long term holders don't have that concern and can focus on the business in hand, which if you actually research further than the immediate vanadium price, will show you a business transforming.

To criticise all the research, learning and positivity generated as a result of the unveiling of Bushveld's plans over time and shared by this board freely in a clearly genuine manner, into exuberant ramping is simply mischaracterisation and nothing more than the superficial pettiness we have come to expect when trolls turn up.

I am with you 100% there PB.

Exactly Faramog, at what point did the V price fall nearly 25% in the last 5 days.

This conflation of the vanadium price directly driving todays situation is a fallacy.

This is everything to do with manipulation, shorting and inducing panic whilst transactions are processed behind the scenes. It is absolutely naive to blame all of this directly on the price of vanadium without acknowledging and understanding the extent of the other clear and present forces at play here.

There are a lot of traders trying to get their narratives to stick here today. That in amongst all the crap being spouted is a fact.

Look at PEEL on L2 and ask yourself if that seems legitimate and why they might want the number of shares they do.

Is anyone seriously doubting that we aren't being manipulated anymore?

Could it be more blatant.

LSE rules state - users found with multiple usernames will be permanently suspended.

So LSE, are the rules just for show?

So many round number trades lost within that 24p window. It would be the perfect smokescreen for the shorters to have the close out of some of their position processed. Against a background of trying to panic PI's into selling a load of shares cheaply to help build a long position at low, pre-Vanchem announcement prices.

Uncle John, we may well be agreed on the latter half of your point, but we certainly aren't all agreed on the former. Each to their own, but that is the case.

I am afraid we will have to disagree on the details here and move on.

This line of - its all linked to the vanadium price is BS. At what point did we track the vanadium price all the way up, yet we are suddenly reasonably suppposed to just accept we are exposed to every minutiae in its movement down, even though we have a business model that is designed to prosper at these levels and that is launching a VRFB arm that is designed to succeed at exactly these levels. I am sorry, but some seem very keen to focus on admonishing the shorters, quashing any suggestion they might be looking to close, suggesting PI's are selling and using inflammatory language like "tanking", Also the short did not start after the vanadium price started falling, I would suggest some more research is needed there.

If you think it is that simplistic Steve then I am afraid you are very wrong.

I wonder at what point they will suspend us.

We are being shorted Vauch, potentially using Golden Summit's shares, purchased during the peak of our rise to 49p.

Kevkan, I agree there is a change in tack today. Started as per recent weeks, but there does seem to be selling more aggressively to match buys and keep the SP down. And yes it is the kind of behaviour we see before the worm turns somewhat.

It is important to remember in these times of frustration, that the buys bought during periods like this end up being the most profitable. I can remember deliberating over buying when we dropped back to 7.75p all that time ago. It felt like this, and look and those buys now.

There is almost 25% upside, just for getting to 30p at the moment. If you are in this for more than a few weeks, the value on offer to the upside is stark.

Remember in 12 months time, Mokopane, Brits, Vametco and Vanchem will all to some extent be in operation. Our electrolyte sales will be commencing and we will be helping Eskom make the transition to renewables and energy storage.

All for 24.64p. (not live of course)

Isn't that degree of opportunity what investing is all about. Buys shouldn't always feel good - especially at stressful times like these, they should however, always feel opportunistic.

Stabilise yes, but it is important to remember that Mikhail explicitly noted that $40 vanadium makes for very strong VRFB economics and it isnt exactly the worst time for a South African firm to be able to showcase compelling VRFB economics in a country that is shouting about its transition to renewables more loudly every day.

We do have an industry-defining tender to win that is out shortly after all.

As you say yourself Petertee,

'when British Bulls say sell, what do you do?

Buy'

The thing about staying short at these precariously low levels is that there isnt much gain to be had, a greater deal of risk and a tremendous upside to buyers. Doesn't seem like sound advice from the share price chasers.

Well it's safe to say our newest arrivals are, as with most of our visitations, incapable of talking anything other than total garbage.

Just a note to people. Be aware of new ID's both here and on Twitter. There are a number of bot-type accounts of very few followers lurking and watching.

The time to be strong as a community is times like these. You know who is worth listening to. Don't fall for disruption. Be there when we hit the £'s. It's coming.

The trolls do not understand the resolve of this community at all. They are too used to backstabbing each other for a few £ when the time comes to close their shorts or trades. They will soon learn.

We have seen shorters off many, many times and we will again.

Good weekend all.
