George Frangeskides, Chairman at ALBA, explains why the Pilbara Lithium option ‘was too good to miss’. Watch the video here.
the last few days in October I thought these were taking off. but no. still they look like a decent medium/long term bet IMO
but I just have niggling worries that there may be a fruit fly in the chardonnay somewhere.......
coming in. you bought at 4.37 last week?, you little **** you! :) well I was in at 6.37p about 2 months ago, but that'll do for me too i think. I hope I can get a decent price first thing tomorrow.
5-NOV-2007 07:48 LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Image Scan Holdings PLC, a 3-D X-ray imaging technology maker, said non-executive chairman Peter Woods has left the company, and that Ian Johnson will be the acting chairman until Woods' replacement is found. its not because this chaps left is it? well I'm in profit, I think I will sell.
that was a very pleasing hike. Now they're back to what I bought at! well there seems to have been no press releases etc I can find, so who can explain the hike for us?
I actually feel a bit guilty now, since I was thinking how regime change would affect my shares! But its not just that, the situation is on the news here a fair bit and its a shame we can't help out in any significant way. well things can only get better for you guys. You deserve some good government for a change. I don't think a free and fair democracy is as important as simply a leader who isn't a complete ****. I hope its a peaceful change for the better . Good luck.
LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Brinkley Mining PLC said Och Ziff, the global hedge fund, has a 21.33 pct stake in the company and holds 76 mln shares in the company. The company also said Signet Mining Service Ltd has 14.5 mln shares, representing a 4.07 pct stake in its issued share capital. Hedge funds generally know what they're doing. generally
you don't live in Zimbabwe do you? Possibly you would have a good idea when/if there would be a regime change there? Hopefully relatively peaceful and for the better.
well I hope youre right, you seem to be the Africa mining expert on here. patience is a virtue, i've put my Brinkley shares under the bed for safe keeping.
Oh I bought at about 12p, so I'm in for the long haul now! never mind, I bet I get my money back eventually. I've gotten interested in mining recently and Ive a fair wad recently in EMED Mining which looks like it has great potential. I'm seriously looking at First Quantum, Medusa and Mwana at the moment.
are the DRC deals totally scuppered now? the last news I can find, its all pretty vague and Brinkley are hopeful etc etc maybe we'll have some good news out of the blue, but somehow it doesn't seem overly likely.
This was referring to First Quantum, not Brinkley. I'm still hopeful for Brinkley though, but its going to be a long haul by the looks of it.
I just saw in the Sunday Times today that JPM's natural recources fund has a major stake in this company, a good sign methinks
what if the vote is to liquidate the 4 funds mentioned? what would that mean for the company? I think I'm just going to circle like a vulture, I don't fancy swooping down for a nibble yet!
yippee!
Date: Sunday 16 Sep 2007 LONDON (ShareCast) - Despite the turmoil in credit markets, the sale of Southern Water by Royal Bank of Scotland is attracting keen interest. The parties who miss out in the auction are likely to focus on other water companies. Kelda is seen as the most likely bid target in the sector, writes the Sunday Telegraph, anyone know anything at all about Kelda, possibilities of a buyout etc etc ?
ive got Perpetuals Hong Kong and China fund, and Gartmore China opportunities, two of the best china funds. these have done awesomely, in fact I'm a great believer in funds, you need to be a canny investor to beat the best funds. the thing about China is all the talk of the china bubble bursting, possibly mid 2008? possibly never, I wish I knew. but you would think china will start to slow down. New investors into funds in china may have missed the boat?
ive got a fair bit in the Perpetual Latin American fund which has done extremely well. I also noticed Scottish Widows L.A. fund has done equally well (despite their other funds being mingers). i think these are the only 2 funds specifically in LA. Certainly seems like an exciting place.
I was reading about the new Africa fund in the Sunday times today http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/money/article2695901 Mwana Africa was claimed to be exciting because they can't take money out of zimbabwe so have reinvested profits in their mines there and stock. If and when (surely sometime soon?) there is a regime change, the sp of Mwana is tipped to rocket if the country can sort itself out. also mentioned in the paper and the online version are Diageo, Lonhro Africa, First quantum minerals, petra diamonds, jubilee platinum. I am looking at these now. I may get into a Africa fund, the min investment in the fund discussed is 12.5k so I'll not be buying into that, but some others are coming with smaller minimums I may consider
hey valticheck, you seem clued up on mining, have you any thoughts on EMED? I was just reading the recommendation on sharecrazy. lloks good to me. but then again what do I know.
