More than happy to stay on the topic of WRES if you can. From time to time I might call out on off-topics that are clearly hypocritical, insulting or otherwise.
WRES - the commissioning of the plant is now delayed by about 3 months from the original stated delivery time. We'll see just how long it takes. The emergency placing (ahem warrant conversion), was presumably needed for La Parilla, as I can't see how you could justify converting them on such "favourable" terms any other way. £1m ain't going to last long at all if they don't get the plant up and profitable quick sharpish = another placing to follow toute-de-suite. I predict first profitability at the end of 2019 - best case., and meaningful profitability is unlikely to be achieved until well into 2020. The first months of ramp up will be key, and perhaps a clearer picture will form. Then again perhaps it won't as MM is the master at dressing things up, and until he can be nailed down on some hard and fast numbers (i.e. pre-tax profit, net debt etc) then he can talk it away in generalities.
I remain an interested observer, watch the chart and if all of the ducks line up at some point, months down the line, may even dip a toe in.
