I have as I try to do with all of my stock holdings. I.E. Today I was told Standard Life have invested I think from memory 5.40% in Centamin - They are not mugs. They have as partners Aberdeen Asset Management / Scottish Widows, etc. Scottish Widows are no mugs either they in the old days were always either the best fund manager or one of the best. The stock market works in advance so sometimes you have to wait for the turnaround. Most shares are cyclical but it always pays to be safer and spread the investments around. I have investments now across most of the market to be honest. I retired early from Lloyds and now do it all as a hobby which I enjoy. Don't put all your eggs in one basket but the advice seems to be buy on the dips for some investors which is why the shares that have fallen the most have been coming back, but these are speculative short term buys and once you are happy with your return why not re-invest and spread the risk. You could re-invest your free profits in more riskier stocks after all they will not have cost you anything. You could have one or two of those in your portfolio. i.e. As the market fell I have bought into Marstons, (I have now sold off) Capita, Stobart, and all of the banks (some of which I have sold). I do not hold any airlines but see RR as a good bet later - but not yet. It always pays to try and make the most of your annual CGT allowances too if you can. My wife and I both hold stocks for that reason. Good luck - no one knows everything we all learn from our own experiences as we go along in life it is just that I probably have less years left now than most - so always try and smile and look on the bright side and the good things in life.

We have in favour the impeachment - can't help the USD surely? The Extra Stimuli to come? Then later the target full employment will bring inflation! -The three amigo's! Our time will come very soon I am sure. Well i hope so anyway otherwise I'm in the dog house, or will be able to claw back some of my years CGT requirements. A win win or lose win. ATB.

Even if the actual production fell last year due to the Pandemic the prices today alone should make up for the shortfall. Going forward if production continues at todays prices we should see an upgrade in profits. In my opinion. The most recent report I found most refreshing. ATB.

I looked them up on the LSE official web and even found the time you quoted which was correct by the way for the large trade yesterday. The LSE did indeed note them as Off the Book. Indeed if you looked today you will also find a load of off the book trades as well. This will help you the OFB trade is not unusual.

We still await todays Stimuli report from the USA but it seems the Impeachment is taking over events. However even that will not exactly help the dollar and generally as the USD falls precious metals will rise. Your call if you or anybody else sells I am here for the longer term. I would not exactly say Centamin is over valued in any case all things considered. I would say the likes of the travel firms, airlines and entertainment stocks have been coming back far too quickly by opportunists for my liking and could well suffer financially longer than expected. In times of trouble I will always stick with GOLD/SILVER miners and in the past it has always worked for me. Good luck whatever you decide to do. ATB.

I do not understand why anyone would sell when we have been told already production is picking up by HOC at a time when the Silver price for the year is up 53% - madness. I would expect a nice divi too. Perhaps Mr Hoc himself will come back in here to buy back shares with his, when ex divi and he will have lowered his income tax position that he would have otherwise have paid?

I think the whole World market is waiting in anticipation for the Fed or Biden's stimuli to be discussed and implemented. For the past couple of weeks we have risen in early trade and then fallen away in the afternoon with no direction. Once we have this as it is expected to be discussed later then we will rise. As you say we just have to be patient. It seems the Senate at the moment seem more interested in discussing Trump than their own economy. I would have put their economy first and then the other issue could have been discussed later, but that is only my opinion, but perhaps it is in hand and we have not in Europe been given the feed? Fingers crossed for more beneficial news later. Standard Life/Scottish Widows/ Aberdeen Asset Man are no mugs and they felt to invest a substantial sum so we should all look forward to some good news very soon!

Suspect due to his respectful relationship with the Biden/Yellen stimuli idea he will be in favour. We might get a few pointers going forward to liquidity of the USD and this will have an effect on our precious metals prices.
Also I understand the package is being discussed today in the senate and house so perhaps we might get some direction for prices later. We usually pick up in afternoon trade as Wall St. opens and so the wait in anticipation continues but will be worth it. One main concern is also how quickly the main US competitor China is recovering and they need a big injection of money to recover post pandemic quicker than they are. A good place to be here in this share in my opinion, and I am glad not to be too exposed to the Airline/ travel comps, and entertainment stocks which the restrictions continue to be with us for some time yet, and where profits likely to be taken before the tax deadline!

Could be interesting as he will clearly offer support to the Yellen/Biden stimuli idea as his relationship with them, particularly Janet is a very good one out of mutual respect.
By then we may also learn a little more regarding the stimuli proposal if discussed in the Senate or House.

As he has a very good relationship with Janet Yellen and the Democrats I am sure he will not be adverse to their massive stimuli idea at a time when the USA economy needs an injection to keep up with China and the East.
Starts tonight at 7.00pm GMT.

The US Stimuli has been discussed behind closed doors from Monday but I understand a proposal may be coming for further discussion tomorrow. Bloomberg were reporting on the idea it will be filtered to those who need it most which makes sense and may actually gain bipartisan support. If it gets through the House and Senate it will then come in fast, but by then considering the amount of 3 trillion we will be heading northwards I am sure. UBS if shorting will be caught out in the cold and as our own Snow melts beware of the short avalanche as the Reddit climbers come back on board!

I expect the results to be a lot better than what analysts were expecting prior to the most recent statement we got out of the Board recently which was far more positive. In fact if it was not for the better one or two of the management would end up with a reputation in tatters and possible shareholder action I am sure!

Biden trying to get the Reps on board and is suggesting the stimuli is directed to those that need it first most. Meetings were held Monday and a suggestion is being put to Senators tomorrow for discussion. If it goes down well the proposal the vote will be later to go through the House and the Senate. The proposal has been filtered to only apply for all those earning less than Usd100,000 or Usd200,000 per household, and increases for the no. of dependents. The stimuli is massive as your have said DK and we should respond very positively once approved which is starting to look now very likely.

I have a feeling this is the missing piece of the jig saw you found yesterday. I worked out the off the book trade to be about the total of both the lend yesterday and the amount today. Quadrant really are taking a chance on this. B/Rock will earn off both and the share price reflects a lower price on sentiment than it should otherwise be. This is the bit of the market I do not like and I really do not have any sympathy if retail traders take up the slack and drive the price higher at the expense of the short. No doubt seen we will have another statement from the hedging Co to say they have increased their position when in fact all that has happened is it is a transfer of a voting right or as they call it a financial instrument. Seen all this before the stock holder cannot lose (i.e. B/rock) but in my eyes it gives the wrong impression and sentiment.

I have an old investment book somewhere and it said as such. The reason they sometimes down grade "openly" a stock is because they do not own it themselves, but would like to at a lower price. With the USA Stimuli getting closer and and now only needing a simple congress vote in favour with the democrats holding a majority it looks like it will go through, and all being equal we should rise up. Once Fres get motoring they are just like a large industrial and will gain momentum. I have learn't to never write them off. Fingers crossed as the precious metals are currently rising now quite fast as wall st. opens!

Great price and timing to come in here. Results are starting to look better and short term we will have a precious metals rise in Stimuli and when the dollar falls, then inflation and the precious metals market should be used as a hedge in time - interesting.
Or you could invest in travel comps and airlines and wait two yrs for profits!! Your call not mine, ha.ha.

This has been an interesting occurrence for a few days as everyone is starting to get frustrated as to when/if Biden will actually get his stimuli through. However it is now reported he just needs a simple senate majority to do so. So once approved it will become very interesting we should rise up quite strongly but this market and the activity in is is very strange.
Inflation will rise with the stimuli and what is the markets hedge - Gold!! Fingers crossed.

Maybe it was tied up as I said earlier with the internal deal suggested earlier between perhaps B/Rock and the Hedge fund Manager or it was two Fund Managers trading outside of the exchange. Certainly interesting - perhaps we will find out later more if someone is stake building and wants to keep their growing interest share quiet until they have such a holding to disclose their intention? Worth us watching that one due to the amount involved as you say. If it was off the book I understand the trade was outside and off the order books and so I presume outside of the stock market regulatory rules if that helps explain.

Autonomy - Not sure mate if you were looking at the 1.5 m U/C at the end of the day as this was not a trade just an uncrossing of the brokers books. Hence U/C.
For the Short I am not sure they always appear in the "open" market as are in effect loaned out and all that changes in most cases is the amount of voting rights held at any one time. However big fund managers do put through some very large numbers in a day as trades which they can by referencing them to a large number of clients. i.e. They can be group trades for numerous people/ clients not just the one. Someone also explained to me once that a Short does not have to be disclosed at the same time by the Hedge Company and the disclosure can be disclosed later after close. Maybe someone else might be better to explain the reporting rules but I wad told they are not as one would expect and not the same for as regular retail trades .

Yes Tesla man said he was getting into it today and Bloomberg report this was the reason for the Bit taken. I think he must have had a dodgy Chinese and he should stick to the real thing -rather than a virtual play on Gold- I feel half the time he is on another planet - but then he comes out with something really clever. I am not sure he can run his batteries in BITCOIN elect. contacts but he could on Silver or Gold.

Hi Chaps - yes I don't blame them if you can get it. Buy loads of stock - lend it out in the meantime and charge a fee and get a commission on the Hedge gain (if there is one) if there is not one and the price goes back up then you get your stock back when the loan is repaid at a higher price. The one thing they could not have projected is the Reddit traders, and I know one trader who when company shorts its stock buys as many as he can in the knowledge the price is false and underpinned in that if the stock is ever sold (and the jury is out on that one if the short is ever sold) then the price will come back on the sentiment anyway. The Reddit traders have a point roasting the fund managers, and I note with interest when they complained to Biden and congress they just said they did not like the shorts market anyway - so if anything they were indeed looking at the Reddit traders as Robin hoods. I have a sneaky feeling they will be back and why not start buying into CEY. Sooner of later the production with big dumpers and all is going to produce. i.e. You buy big bucket dumpers for a reason!! Good luck chaps soon we will be back up to over £2 a Share I am sure.
