Oranges in China, or Lemons in Cyprus? I'll take the lemons, thank you very much!

Good morning to you. Erratic trading pattern. Algos are kicking this one around at present, parameters hit a kink when the announcement was made and the write-downs announced. This only adds to Rio's dependency on the China trade. It will be a few days before the algos models are adjusted. Good luck. Got to do some (real!!!) work now.

Today's announcement was pretty ugly. I am on the sidelines for the time being. Good luck with your trades.

It seems as if politics is rearing its ugly head!

Well done with your BHP venture. Good show! However, my *0 pence target for BAE Systems remains, and will not be buying here at any price higher than this. If it should not reach that prized (but lowly) buy-in price, then rest assured by capital will be employed selsewhere.

I am out if Nat is in. Tan is tangent to our purpose but vector indicator. Bakries can do with a new range of mince pies. So that leave decisions. - Will remain sitting on the fence eating my bananas for the time being. Good luck to you all!

The buy order remains active indefinitely. Have a good day. Regards. Seifert.

I have issued an electronic order to buy 5000 BAE shares when the price hits 80 pence. It saves having to watch the screen all day following the tedious antics of brokers etc.

Firstly, a happy new year! And plainly I was being facetioius as equally as you were being fatuous. As long as the current management remains in place, £5, or even £4 is a speculative punt. My opinion. I have a buy order here here at 80 pence, by the way.

I will take your £5 for my shares. When would you like to make the exchange?

I confess I am astonished at the rise in Rio lately, and wonder what is driving it! With so much supply out there, I think I will look at futures and options, and stay away from shares, as this is making no sense to me whatever. Good luck all, and wish I had bought in at £30!

I feel I must echo come of your sentiments. If one is already 'invested' here, then you must be your own judge on the dynamics of what is happening behind the scenes. Disclosure - I would consider speculating here, not investing. At the moment not committed so speak from a totally different vantage to others. But one this is for certain, this Rothschild is no Nathan, and is no match for the banana skullduggery of the Indonesian conmen who own both this company, and that whole country. Good luck, And yes, you never know if some external pressure will mount and force these scallywags to price these assets at their current value, which I am sure is £10 +. I believe in the assets, but no faith in the actors (i.e. managers)

And I'll eat my wolly hat if these guys show any integrity to retail investors. - Disclosure, I am not invested here at the present time, but only looking speculative to jump in and out. Thus, rete my comments and opinions in that context.

That wouldn't be Egyptian pounds, would it?

I hope you are right, because these playboy scallywags without the nous to see that they are out of their depth, they should try a diet of bananas to get a feel for what their up against. - And as for resignation letters, what has that amount to thus far? Your best hope is not the likes of Rothschild or Mr. Tan, but the British legal system which, hopefully, will force transparency on this company, and use the law to seize assets, or the threat thereof, in order to protect the lemmings, which in this case is you and I, old son. - The way to beat these crooks is to be a bigger crook! And that takes time (and luck!)

Riddles aside, my personal view is that Frau Merkel is in no hurry to resolve the Euro 'crisis' and, in fact, represents a game play in compelling recalcitrants to change their ways. If Europe stagnates then we have slow subdued growth in China. Too much steel being produced and iron ore in surplus. Spot prices must reflect this coupled with an (unjusified) rise in the dollar as the haven of sheep, the Americans get to finance their trillion dollar deficits on the cheap, more sheep pile into treasuries, and it will just keep going round like this until Frau Merkel is satisfied that the format she wants for Europe emerges. I wish her all the luck in the world, and am sure she will get her way, because she is patient, and this is a patience game. As for RIo Tinto, well, it's caught in the swell of events, and tossed around like a cork on a wave. Good luck.

We are all post event analysts, barring insider informatants! As for my price prediction, the factors are two. Firstly, there is a hell of a lot of iron ore around. Secondly, the dollar's rate of exchange. Third, Frau Merkel. Of the three, I focus on Frau Merkel. - I decline to give a price, because if I am wrong and you act on it, my conscince would spur to to compensate, and I don't want that on my head. However, I think I've provided enougfh information for you to guage where I stand here. Good luck!

My point, Mr. Castro, is that this reasoning applies whether it's £10 a pop or 10 pence a pop, because the people first in line for a payout is not the likes or you or I. This 'geezer' Mr. Tan talking about £5 a share. He's yakking on about his stake, not anyone else's. You are not going to ride their backs, so I wouldn't be planning on that free ride. I am looking how I can position myself. As I don't want to potentially causes others' losses with my own strategies, I decline to present them here. But offering up general facts about banana republics and the goings on there - sure, we all know it, but greed and 'easy money' often blinds us of the facts. I hope you make a lot of money here. I hope everyone who followed the mug Rothschild can recover their paper losses. But I would not more bet on Mr Tan than I would on Rothschild. I have learned the hard way to play my own game. - Now, light up a cigar and good investing!

Is that Sterling or Egyptian pounds?

Of course it' s undervalued. How many other stocks are undervalued? But I would rather be trading Cuban cigars than Indonesian coal. Or rather, better cigars than bananas. - Indonesia belongs to the elite, not the people. No body gives a hoot about the people. They are merely goats owned by the elites. Ditto the UK, but the grazing land is somewhat more luxurious, despite the pattern being the same. - So, take care, and while this stock may make great gains, beware that losses remain a fact of life too. Good luck. (PS. Disclosure - Yes, I am keeping an eye on here, not as an investor, but as a speculator. I have a target that I am prepared to take a risk at. I could of course be wrong. It won't be the first time, but I don't want people being influenced by my antics no more than I would be influenced by theirs because, as alluded to earlier, this company is based in Indonesia, not the UK.
