6 year backlog?

One interesting thing I found in that article was the BMN share price shown over time next to the FeV price. Aside from the first peak there does appear to be some correlation.

I hope the price here is not solely being determined on FeV price as that would appear a little short sighted.

This is from last week, apologies if already posted. Bushveld is mentioned.

"This year it is vanadium, another esoteric element of the periodic table that is on a wild bull rampage.

Vanadium prices in China have more than tripled over the course of 2018, albeit with some recent softening from their early-November peaks.

The share price of South Africa’s Bushveld Minerals BMNB.L, one of only a handful of primary producers, has soared from less than 10 pence per share at the start of the year to 42 pence currently."

Chartist2 there was no company fundamentals reason behind the false drop from 50p whatsoever. True value just based on what we already know is far north of 50p.

I think I will run to the bunker before the fireworks start....!

Well if there is a short they may try and put a lid on the price again so stay alert.

If not then expect a massive sell to be printed in the next three days. Whatever the supply was appears to have run dry.

37.5 paid, starting to fly

I thought the point of a market size is that they have to make an offer at that size, or does that apply only to sells?

Hopefully we have turned the corner.

Expert10201 SP Angel look at the fundamentals of the company and the market we are in, they take no notice of how the share price is being manipulated.

The same as BMN holders should do.

Whatever the policy is I just wish they would get a move on and announce it as per signposted plans. It was signposted as H2 2018 and H2 2018 has very little time to go.

dryland Alfa's trading analysis shows more buys then sells almost every single day. If there are more buys than sells why the daily drop?

Another theory here, if an II has placed a large sell order, say 10m shares can we see buys exceeding sells ad infinitum then a massive 10m shares printed when they are exhausted?

I am thinking about what UncleJohn said earlier about lack of buying pressure . Correct me if I am wrong but this statement seems totally against the trading analysis Alfa has been doing which has almost every day as the net position being buy positive. Those shares must be coming from somewhere and on at least two occasions in the past there has been a massive number printed out of the blue which then led to a change in behaviour.

To answer this question you can select from either Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen or No Limit by 2 Unlimited.

Type "Indefatigable cycling" into Google - it speaks volumes.

@gkb47 a bit harsh. A newly registered poster who chooses with their "first ever" post to attack the company is only ever going to be seen to have an ulterior motive and responded to negatively.

dryland in the link I posted the other day it was mentioned that some regions have no backlog whilst others (including Limpopo) have huge backlogs. Staff being arrested for the killing of the regional manager doesn't help progress applications.

My personal hope is that now the department is getting it's house in order it will be allocating extra resources from other offices to help clear the backlogs in affected regions. I (and no doubt everyone else here) would be somewhat disappointed if the feeling was that we would have to wait another 2015 - 2013 = 2 years for Mokopane news. Hopefully the necessary pressure can be applied internally regarding this as ultimately it is South Africa that will benefit from both income from the operation and batteries deployed stabilising power supply. The time is now to grant the licence to take full advantage in the next couple of years.

Expert10201 you sound nervous about your investment this morning, not sure why?

As it is now 20 days since the flash drop from 46p to 41p could todays morning flash drop be a shorter trying to renew their T20 day position by early buying then engineering a new T20 drop to cover it?

No idea, just theorising.

Alfa I don't doubt that people in the city may have heard that there was an investigation but that is somewhat different from Fortune discussing the fine and outcome with a room of II's which if they acted on the information would certainly fall under insider trading. Of course now they are free to act on the information as we all know.

I certainly enjoy your observational questions that often mean you already know the answer - have you seen evidence of II buying in the trading today?
