Do I detect some discord on the BEM forum? Seems my post that ruffled a few feathers the other day is gaining kudos and another step nearer to reality.
By the recent comments, the last paragraph from that RNS could have been written exclusively for Beowulf sometime in the future.
The only unknown is how long into the future.
Just a reminder….
“The Company does not believe that any of these options are likely to recover any value for the Company's shareholders.”
This share is so dire that the concept of a positive result from the courts would make little difference to the advancement of a working mine near Jokkmokk with BEM at the helm. The Sami must be ‘rocking in the aisles’ with every announcement and development in this Swedish/BEM farce.
The market has already decided, look at the share price.
“the Mayor of Brussels was perfectly within his rights to do what he did today and I'm very glad he did.”
Well you got that wrong again Suzy didn't you, seems the court didn't agree with your Communist views. Very apt as this forum seems to like suppressing free speech.
Pocko.
“But you didn't post it on their board? Post it on HZM.”
It came from the HZM BB and was meant for this BB. If you don't understand the reason for the post, re-read it.
Actually I'll repeat it especially for you….”No it's not the wrong BB but the shambles and the scrambling shown by this company (BEM) to raise funds is just a reminder to the ‘rose tinted’ on here.” Judging by your reaction I'm guessing that includes you.
Free thinking? read different thoughts and views to you.
“Don't put words in my mouth. I could tie you up in knots all day.”
With that high opinion of yourself, what could possibly go wrong? I'm glad you've got the time.
Get over yourself, it's a public forum principally about BEM, it's not all about you.
Have a nice day all.
“You are comparing two projects at very different stages of development, with very different financing requirements.”
Yer don't say Pocko, as I said BEM’s “journey hasn't even begun yet”
This is precisely the place for my ‘musings’ as you call it, especially with BEM's journey to-date. Surely even you cannot deny that the last fund raise wasn't handled well and was a struggle, probably resulting in more dilution than necessary.
Perhaps there are a few who could be saved but that's up to them. It's also up to me to post my thoughts on an open forum.
With your attitude to free thinking, perhaps you would be more suited assisting someone who's in the news today, the mayor of Brussels perhaps?
Failing that, if what you perceive as negative posts and they bother you, just filter me. I'm sure there will be more comments from me that you won't agree with.
“The company announces that, after a period of discussions to restructure the group's debt in conjunction with seeking a fully funded solution for its 100%-owned Araguaia Nickel Project ("Araguaia" or the "Project") and actively engaging existing and new potential investors, the Company has been unable to secure interest in the full financing needed to complete the Project or in a group acquiring the Project. In the absence of a financing solution, Horizonte must now consider alternative options for the Company's subsidiaries in the interest of its secured creditors, which may include raising financing at the subsidiary level, a sale of the Project whilst in care and maintenance, the liquidation of the assets of the Project, or other options available under Brazilian laws. The Company does not believe that any of these options are likely to recover any value for the Company's shareholders.”
As a former shareholder in HZM myself I feel for the PI’s that are still invested.
No it's not the wrong BB but the shambles and the scrambling shown by this company (BEM) to raise funds is just a reminder to the ‘rose tinted’ on here.
Beowulf is showing all the same traits and is heading in the same direction and their journey hasn't even begun yet.

"Who is right/wrong ? 34.5p will be seen in 2014....IMHO-DYOR
I've just done some research and the year is 2024! From that I deduct you're on safe ground stating "34.5p will be seen in 2014"
RickEngland. “my average buy is around 16p after divs”
I never include dividends when calculating my average, just buys and sells.
I always take the money, never reinvestment, (DRIP).
Perhaps I should start.
Just saying.
“Over 7 million Uk adults struggling to heat and heat”
Unfortunately it's a fact of life that when you're illegally resident in a country that you were not born in or a citizen of, you will struggle. If you still need heating this time of the year, chances are you're used to somewhat warmer climes.
End of.
New figures just released by the Office for National Statistics will make reassuring reading for Hunt and Sunak. GDP grew by a modest 0.1% in February. More or less in line with expectations…
Still, GDP has now grown for two months in a row after expanding by an upwardly revised 0.3% from 0.1% in January. These latest figures point in the direction of the UK economy expanding in Q1 and exiting the shallow recession of the second half of last year. Improving output in the production and services sectors had a big part to play in the growth bump. Now analysts are expecting an optimistic outlook for months ahead of us.
Recession , what recession!
Blink and you missed it.
Never mind potential wrongdoing by motor finance firms There is a lot of concern about this from the dealers’ side. I think dealers want to know whether they are going to be liable for any of this and at the moment nobody knows.
With terms from the dealers such as ‘this is definitely not an investigation, it's an inquiry’ you can see they are very nervous about the whole process. If dealers are deemed liable in any way, some may even be wound up. I'm sure the Financial Ombudsman Service is aware of this, and I'm getting the feeling that's why they'll go after and find the banks liable. Whatever the findings, this time around if the banks are found liable they shouldn't just role over and pay. It needs defending vigorously.
LONDON (Reuters) -British lenders have been told by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to ensure they are adequately prepared to meet the potential costs of customer complaints arising from its review into the motor finance industry.
In a letter to bank bosses on Friday, the watchdog said lenders should assess their ability to meet potential future liablities resulting from any spike in customer complaints.
The watchdog said it planned to set out its next steps in September, but said that some companies were struggling to provide the data it needed and it was prepared to extend its review if necessary.
A judicial review started by Barclays (LON:BARC) against an ombudsman decision on a motor finance complaint had also created uncertainty and could affect the timing of the review, the FCA added.
Lenders should continue to investigate complaints they receive in the meantime so they can be resolved quickly once the review is completed, the watchdog said.
This is written as if this FCA review is a foregone conclusion.
Who else feels safer now after the ECHR ruling
“encompassing a right to effective protection by the State authorities from the serious adverse effects of climate change on lives, health, well-being and quality of life.”
What next? Perhaps we could get protection from government policies resulting in adverse trading conditions against any losses from individual investments
The world's gone mad.
(Reuters) - Bank of England policymaker Megan Greene said interest rate cuts in Britain should remain "a way off" because of the persistence of inflation pressure, which is still more of a threat than in the United States.
Greene said that markets were wrong to expect that the British central bank would cut rates earlier and by more than the Federal Reserve this year, arguing that a later start to policy easing would be better.
"In my view, rate cuts in the UK should still be a way off as well," Greene wrote in a column published in the Financial Times.
"Following surprisingly strong U.S. March CPI inflation, markets now expect the Bank of England will cut rates earlier and by more than the Federal Reserve this year," Greene said.
The next policy decision by the MPC is due on May 9.
Expect more and more ‘slabber’ from the so-called knowledgeable before next month, if nothing else, it keeps them in the financial news.
Lloyds Banking Group plans to cut jobs in risk management after an internal review found the function was a “blocker to our strategic transformation”
The restructuring was outlined in a memo last month from Lloyds’ chief risk officer Stephen Shelley, who said two-thirds of executives believed risk management was blocking progress while “less than half our workforce believe intelligent risk-taking is encouraged”.
The lender was “resetting our approach to risk and controls”, Shelley said in the memo, seen by the Financial Times, adding that “the initial focus is on non-financial risks”. A new model would enable Lloyds to “move at greater pace” with clearer roles and responsibilities, he said.
Loosening Lloyds’ risk controls “could potentially have catastrophic consequences for the future of the bank”, added Brown.
Lloyds is two years in to a £4bn, five-year investment plan to diversify its income away from mortgages towards income streams less dependent on interest rate changes including wealth management and insurance.
The lender, which has about 60,000 staff, has reviewed thousands of middle-management positions across its business in an effort to increase its focus on digital services. About 3,600 people work in the bank’s risk teams.
“I read that professional share tipster malcolm Stacey is now also apparently calling a £1 Share price target for Lloyds bank
When it happens... all on here will claim to have called it from these levels.”
I've chosen 90, 91 and 91.5p for at least the last five years in Meerkats/Asp1 EoY competition. Seems folks and even professional tipsters are finally beginning to take on board the potential here.
But I'll say this only once PP! Hehe 😆
Humza Yousaf is like the tortoise on top of a post
"'You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he definitely doesn’t belong up there, he doesn’t know what to do while he is up there, and you just have to wonder what kind of idiot put him up there in the first place.’
And that just about sums up the SNP.
A funny ol' thing these BB's, everyone getting excited after a decent rally and now with the futures showing negative it appears peeps are really taking an interest.
Up or down, It's still only money, it's not life or death.
A lot of new faces appeared of late, mostly all expert's as to the final outcome, casting views at the rate of two men…Laurel & Hardy that is.
