nicely done jolly. ... be still and wait without hope, for hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love, for love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith, but the faith and the love are all in the waiting. Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.

bermondsey, i don't think that anyone over on the myn board ever offered a shred of evidence that mxo had sold its 14+% in myn acquired at 0.30. i had mentioned mxo's three month lock-in expiring circa 2nd week of november, which would add another 100,000,000 to the placing overhang over that share... --> that led to another poster ('helpful') questioning whether mxo still held the shares, and if the lock-in might have been relaxed early. but he didn't say that mxo had sold, nor did he provide any supporting evidence for his idea. helpful has been a very, very persistent bull for myn for years despite endless placings and huge dilutions, & i suspect that he was simply trying to downplay that extra overhang from mxo's share as part of continued attempts to pump myn. up until yesterday, the trading volumes in myn simply do not support the idea that a big holder such as mxo has been able to dump 100mill. (and if myn had strangely chosen to release mxo from the lock-in early, it would be naughty not to RNS such price-sensitive info about large stake. mind you, AIM being what it is, it is hard to rule out some naughtiness, eh?) (yesterday's myn volume higher, but still not at profit level for mxo.)

i think the iron was a worthwhile resource before the iron ore price cratered. but it then became effectively worthless, doubly so because the chinese stitched up the area. now, even if iron ore price soared again, no-one could exploit the asset without shandong's nod.

is always in the detail, so no idea how this will eventually play out in the court. but it seems a refreshingly straightforward line of defence: "it was sold as seen, m'lud." gl honest & polite folks.

"Why the Fca never took a look at this i dont know." the FCA has too few resources to chase too many problems and is not well incentivised. so problem companies (a gentle way of putting it!) like sula are just too small to bother with, imv. some interesting reflections on the board today, & some old names. i am inclined to agree that the coltan story was a very cynical and obvious lie from the start, and reddest of red flags. but that was just a desperate attempt to survive the disastrous iron ore price collapse. gl and atb to all honest and polite folks.

yes, it's a markedly more civil discussion board.

just out of interest, sain, do you have any position in purp these days? (me, am holding a small long interest without any high conviction in purp, because i do have a modest position in wpct at the moment.)

milly reported to admin for posting false information regarding BoD transactions.

"Add in an easing of geo political risks" any good reason to expect that?

good post.

swings and roundabouts. positive coverage re oxford nanopore in the papers today, but then tom winnifrith slating that coverage in his 'bearcast'. pays yer money, takes yer choice.

16:00/16:13, good posts.

tomorrow

yeah, i do think it will have reached higher than 2.40 at some point before the end of 2018. (NB that's not a bet about what the share price will be specifically *at* end '18.)
