Talk about death by a thousand cuts. When the Ukraine starts to build again after the war, foreign companies will be very guarded about investing in the place without cast-irn guarantees on their independence.

Totally agree. The idea that Putin's Russia is a threat to NATO after it failed dismally to conquer Ukraine has been used by those who do know better to achieve their own ends, eg EU exerting its control over defence of member states. Russia is a paper tiger and will be pleased to get out with a so-called victory.

Investors Chronicle was upbeat after the results and gave a buy recommendation. Obviously, there was no pleasing some after a good set of results.

The has been claiming it is the white knight against the dragon Russia. The reality isbthat it shares the corruption and double-dealing of its former boss. Letting them join the EU would be a joke.

Considering the fact that Zelensky persistently talks of Ukraine having the same values as the West, it would be a shame if the Ukrainian courts behave in a way more fitting of a banana republic or a corrupt dictatorship in their dealings with any company.

Amen to that; precisely my position too. If we still had share certificates I'd have enough worthless paper in this company to start my own recycling centre.

This share has stood out like a sore thumb all day and the continued rise does make you wonder what is going on.

Looks a bit fishy to me. Price reaction to large holding well over an hour after the market opened and percentage gain now half what it was at peak. Lots of coulds around and good luck to those who are stayers but I've sold and taken a modest profit.

82% rise today at present. Just under 4p to buy. Good news on the way?

My investing history started with Australian mining boom of the early 1970s so I know where you are coming from. I remember being in Istanbul in 2016 glued to the hotel wi-fi checking my mining shares when they were just coming out of the last great collapse and Anglo American, BHP, Rio Tinto etc had all left tyre marks near the edge of a cliff. As you say; these companies are roller coasters. In the long run you win but for short term buying and selling, timing is critical and that is why I try always to buy near a recent bottom - although that sometimes that turns out to be a step towards another bottom! Good luck

Up nearly 5% again so far today. Burn shorters burn!

Sell price currently 100.4 so looking good if Barclays have it right on their chart. Make that 100.7!

It's hard to believe that the markets immediately respond to these dubious, unacknowledged scare stories and thereby enable shorters to make an easy quick buck. Personally, I topped up yesterday.

The severe fall (enough to make one reach for a cigarette!) is due to the WHO trying to put pressure on government agencies to treat vaping as harshly as smoking, presumably tax and where it should be banned.

Is it possibly anticipation of a successful outcome to the arbitration over its Indian claims? Up again this morning

It looks like the market might be at last recognizing the value here against a background of a good summer and thw world cup - how it dropped to mid -90s at one point seems in retrospect ludicrous

Seems odd the drop this morning when the report merely reiterates the warning about margins last month. I agree with you and have topped up.

Wonder what would have happened to the SP if the RNS had been negative and the IC and Numis had said sell!

Totally agree. If you stand back from the projected claims for the future and just look at the figures you have to ask why would anyone buy this company. For all anyone knows the rest could be all smoke and mirrors. Past price just looks like a bubble. Buying now would be trying to catch a falling Texas chainsaw.

Record year, steady if not spectacular growth. Initial jump in SP followed by another drop; which is the right view of what's going on? I just bought another chunk because I am optimistic about the future.
