RE: Vanchem and Vametco8 Nov 2019 07:42
This post Vanchem shorting/selling is all about a fast buck. Those involved may try and portray longevity to this situation leveraging a short term V price argument to do so, however as we have already dropped a fair amount when arguably we should have risen (30% increase in production, rise to 28.5p the week before etc), the game changes slightly. It is now a question of timing an exit so as not to be left holding the baby when others make the decision to close or re-enter. BMN didn't suddenly hit a difficult period by completing Vanchem, it in fact unlocked a great deal of pent up potential - increased production up to nearly 9000mtv, the potential for 3 more kilns, diversified product and geography, Mokopane's supply chain, early electrolyte, better downtime management (already pretty good) and so on. Strategic excellence that takes Bushveld to a whole new level of influence within the vanadium market.
Sellers and shorters know what Vametco ultimately did for BMN and Vanchem will deliver similarly in SP. It didn't happen overnight when Vametco happened and vanadium prices were lower than today. Have a look back, it is worth your time.
This negativity that pervaded yesterday is a flash in the pan on this story. In the grand scheme of things for those that have been here years it presents opportunity. Just as the dips from 10p to 7.5p did.
Fortune deserves and is worth backing. He is delivering relentlessly and will continue to do so.
