Ros, well done on your blood result, that's great. Diabetes is not a trivial illness and takes a lot of effort and discipline to manage.

Nick, heartening to hear you have beaten cancer too. I've lost friends and family to this unfair, indiscriminate disease, and some far too young. Research and medicine is advancing all the time, and hearing about you and Sanchez fills me with hope for the future.

I'll tell you what is trivial though, trolls. They can do one. Another filtered, over and out.

My very best wishes to Knuttie, RK and your loved ones.

Sanchez, it's very heartening to hear you have come out the other side and are now well.

Health is wealth and I wish that for everyone.

I've not seen Liveleak but if the whole building collapses, the escalators will be the least of their worries.

The Chinese authorities need to act sharpish and enforce the new rebar rules. I'd say the same thing if I wasn't invested in Vanadium. With the earthquake risks in China, corrupt officials and steel mills are playing with people's lives.

Daisan, that Terminator clip made me chuckle.

Seems that no matter how many times we see off a troll, to paraphrase Arnie 'They'll be back' in one guise or another.

Never mind, we have numerous Sarah Connor esque characters to combat the trolls, and there's always the filter button.

I'm immune to troll attacks anyway, I have my BMN fundamentals force field. Nothing gets through that.

Live long and prosper my fellow bushies :)

You have the right idea MIKINAMAN, festive family fun with your grandkids is better than watching Trolls. And, Twister is a classic.

Talking of trolls, the ones that pop up on this board will never shake my belief in BMN. Our fundamentals speak for themselves and we are Brexit proof. I first invested 12 weeks ago. I sold UK bank and entertainment shares and put the profits into BMN. Since then the shares I sold have dropped by 14% and 18% respectively. My BMN investment is up 69%.

I've no doubt BMN will be my best investment ever.

Welcome GoodThingGoing, your nickname is very apt for a Bushy!

GLA :)

That's fab Nick, I've been checking every morning, so will have a few days off and let the excitement build :)

Thanks Ninvestor, looking forward to seeing us on the first page :)

Great news! When will we appear on the official AIM100 list? I'm sure someone said it was going to be updated in December.

@MIKINAMAN, just checked the Radio Times and Trolls is on BBC1. Saving Mr Banks is on BBC2.

Decisions decisions lol :)

Yep, can see us hitting the big 50 today. If an RNS lands in the next few days, I think we could hit 62p by New Years Eve.

Cause I gotta feeling, woohoo!

* It's good to hear that there will be $300m support for communities and workers in developing countries that switch from coal to renewable energy.

Got distracted and forgot the $300m :)

It's good to hear that there will be support for communities and workers in developing countries that switch from coal to renewable energy. The World Bank, UK and Canada will provide 'financial, technical and advisory support' to transition away from coal to cleaner energy.

'Programs will support the deployment of solar and battery storage, geothermal and offshore wind development, coal plant closure, and improvement in energy efficiency, particularly in buildings and cooling.'

'With the new financial support from Canada and the UK, the World Bank will also expand its work to help countries that have made the decision to transition away from coal, close mines and address the resulting socioeconomic impacts on workers and communities. This means taking steps to protect jobs and skills and preserve the environment, including through strong social safety nets for coal mine workers and the reclamation and repurposing of coal mine areas.'

Blimey, never thought I'd be on a BMN ramper list. Even more bizarre, skier1 and Sbuild are above me!

I'm ranked 180 - there's more chance of me throwing a 180 in darts than being a ramper. Everyone ducks if I step up to the oche :)

P.s. It could be one of the other regular TBP contributors, e.g. Paludina, Loudspeaker, mitchoftheday, Calder Capital etc. I only singled out BBN, Ophidian and RK as Alfa said their articles are on the way soon. It could be a newbie :)

Kudos to all those who make The Bushveld Perspective the invaluable resource it is.

Ooh, I wonder what it will be? We've been told to expect a few in the near future, will it be by Alfa, Ophidian, BBN or Richken. Any of them will be a treat I'm sure, like opening a new window on an advent calendar :)

Caught up with the last few days posts this morning, great contributions by LTHs and newbies.

Thanks to one and all :)

Developing new materials for the fusion reactor. Success in developing vanadium alloys strong at high temperatures and appropriate for manufacturing and welding. https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2018-12/nion-dnm120618.php

Agree RK

If there's a spin off it should be Lemur. It doesn't fit with BMN/BE and its green energy vision, and feels like putting up with an odd relative.

MaryMac and incoming, welcome to Bushy share chat :)

As a newbie ATM investor, I would prefer BMN increase its stake in AfriTin and fund phase 2. The sell off of ATM was before my time as a BMN investor, and tin and vanadium will both be part of the renewable energy growth story. I think AfriTin sits better with BMN's future vision than Lemur Holdings does.

@sontam67, if you are selling shares (not in an ISA) and gifting the proceeds to your child, then you do pay CGT, if you exceed your annual CGT allowance.

I have added a couple of links you may find useful, the 2017 article answers your CGT question. The other is a recent Hargreaves Lansdown article about how to minimise tax when investing for children.
