I'm so hyped up, I'm humming the Rocky tune and shadow boxing the cat

YTSS, thanks for reference to the Robert Friedland VRFB project JM mentions.in the interview.

I think your link broke, here it is :)

That's fantastic Endion, best of luck!

BMN could be the goose that lays the golden ostrich egg to help realise your goals :)

Endion, I have to ask about the Ostrich :)

Do you work at a zoo?

Thanks again BBN. I understand our strength in being fully integrated. I'm a recent newbie and only asked the BE spin off question as it's come up a couple of times in other posts. I couldn't see the benefit of a spin off, so your posts today and Daisan's reply have eased my mind.

Thanks Daisan, phew....that is what I hoped. BE was a big factor in my decision to invest with BMN.

To clarify, I hope BMN do not spin off Bushveld Energy

Top class posts BBN, thank you as always

As a result, do you think there is less chance of a Bushveld Energy spin off? I hope not.

Another example of innovation in climate control. Vanadium dioxide (VO2) has been used in a project to self-regulate heat on windows. Made me think of July heatwave, especially in Japan. What a difference it could make around the world.

According to Associate Professor Madhu Bhaskaran, lead investigator on the project, the breakthrough could help meet future energy needs and create temperature-responsive buildings.

“We are making it possible to manufacture smart windows that block heat during summer and retain heat inside when the weather cools,” she said. “Our technology will potentially cut the rising costs of air-conditioning and heating, as well as dramatically reduce the carbon footprint of buildings of all sizes.

“Solutions to our energy crisis do not come only from using renewables; smarter technology that eliminates energy waste is absolutely vital.”

swampdub, now that's innovation for you. Huge improvements to air quality in just 5 years too :)

Vauch, hindsight eh? It gets us all.

With upcoming news we could hit 80p in December.

Keeping my fingers crossed for BonScott to win £1 cup :)

Coffee, if I had some spare cash, I'd still be adding now.

My last top up was 30.36p last week. I'd been waiting on tenterhooks for a dividend to arrive.

I bet there were lots of people who considered ASOS a decade ago and thought....yeah that's as far as it will go. Just like the online shopping revolution, this will be transformational.

I started investing at circa 28p and still think that was a bargain.

People you give gifts to will be charged Inheritance Tax if you give away more than £325,000 in the 7 years before your death.

The 7 year rule
If there’s Inheritance Tax to pay, it’s charged at 40% on gifts given in the 3 years before you die.

Gifts made 3 to 7 years before your death are taxed on a sliding scale known as ‘taper relief’.

Years between gift and death Tax paid
less than 3 40%
3 to 4 32%
4 to 5 24%
5 to 6 16%
6 to 7 8%
7 or more 0%
Gifts are not counted towards the value of your estate after 7 years

@993444 I sincerely hope you do enjoy the cruise in 2109

You must have shares in the fountain of youth too :)

Thanks Alfa, I suppose we'll be popping up in more of these types of articles now we're getting a higher profile.

Found this recent article interesting. It's about the pros and cons of BMN having zero debt. I'm still learning but thought zero debt is a good thing for us at the mo.

Alfa, lol.....talking of the moon.

Trump's Space Policy Directive is to send Americans to the moon again. What are the chances he'll have the astronauts building a wall to keep the pesky 'illegal' aliens out.

This is very heartening to hear Tyfoon :)

Especially as Trump thinks the Earth will cool back down on its own, denying his own administration's climate change report. Grrrr :(

Welcome planckepoch, yes BMN still has plenty of legs....like a centipede! So much more to come.

nobbynewcomer, welcome to you too.
