Should be very interesting Sanchez. Rising Vanadium prices. Supply shortage. End of Glencore/Largo agreement imminent. Cheaper production cost due to $/Rand. Easing of restrictions in mining in SA.
All of this on the back of a very welcome period of around two weeks of what appears to be less negative activity around BMN share dealing.
Travel industry body and leaders quite rightly very annoyed at such a comment:
TRAVEL SECTOR BLASTS TRANSPORT SEC'S 'FLIPPANT' HOLIDAY QUIP
17 APR 2020
BY JAMES CHAPPLE
Leading travel industry figures and bodies, as well as agents, have blasted transport secretary Grant Shapps’ "ill-considered and flippant" remark about not booking a holiday this summer.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on Friday (17 April), just a day after the UK government extended its nationwide Covid-19 lockdown for "at least" a further three weeks, Shapps quipped: “I won’t be booking a summer holiday at this point, let’s put it that way.”
Abta branded the remark "a thoughtless comment, not based on any facts", adding it showed "complete disregard" for the UK travel industry and its employees. “It would be better if the government focused on taking the necessary steps to support the sector rather than undermining confidence in it," said a spokesperson.
Aito echoed Abta’s indignation, describing the comment as "ill-considered and flippant". "Mr Shapps owes us not only a retraction, and an apology, but also - very importantly - some long overdue practical assistance, which has been sorely lacking to date," said Aito, referring to the ongoing refunds crisis in travel.
“We need him and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to confer urgently with the travel industry - Abta, Aito and and other leading bodies - to sort out the PTR debacle on refunds and ensure practical and workable steps are agreed to enable the travel industry to plan properly for a sensible resumption of travel, and holidays, within a realistic and workable timeframe."
Just hit $13+ again, so looks like we may retain the current gains and perhaps add some more.
$13 = £10.48 approx....we usually trade around 5% less than US prices for some reason, so not expecting £10+ today, but you never know.
I'm sure that the Closure remit allowed for kilns/furnaces to be kept running on a care and maintenance basis, so it's highly likely that BMN will have been continuing some sort of functionality....as well as hopefully carrying out scheduled maintenance.
LTV, I see your 4.28% on one website but on another I see a chart and also the finish that I was quoting...not sure why the different reports. https://w w w.m arketwatch.com/investing/stock/ccl

Meanwhile CCL is sitting at +4.89% on $12.42 in after-hours trading in the US. I guess you'll need to try and get some of your negativity to spread across the pond LTV as they seem pretty keen on prospects at the moment.
LTV, we'll need to agree to disagree. It is speculative, as is any event that has not yet happened. The other facts mentioned in the article are true and factual.
It's clear that you either want this to fail or that you are ****ed that you missed a lower entry point. I suspect it's the former rather than the latter, as I seem to recall that you were hinting at investing at low prices, but failed to do so when it was lower.
Not too important either way to be honest. Directors, Middle Eastern investors, private investors have already made their choice, and of course some of the hedge funds have already stated that they have now gone long on some previously shorted stock (CCL included), so I've been in and out twice on small trades but am now in for a hopeful recovery to £12-£13 a share.
Also looks like many directors took shares in lieu of wages yesterday as well....unless I misread the RNS
From CNBC:
There could be some good news for the cruise line sector for a change.
Three different sources are reporting solid (if not spectacular) booking trends for 2021, according to some digging by the L.A. Times (first reported last week).
CruiseCompete.com has seen a 40% increase in bookings for 2021 over the last 45 days, with only 11% of those from customers with trips canceled.
An online poll by CruiseCritic.com indicated 75% of cruise passengers plan to rebook at either the same rate of more often than before the pandemic.
A recent note by UBS that relied on industry sources tipped a 9% increase in 2021 bookings as of March 31 in comparison to last year.
Add it all up and it's not a bad sign for Carnival (CCL +6.4%), Royal Caribbean (RCL +8.2%) and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH +4.4%) if they can stay afloat until next year.
