Danni Boy Fundamental lack of business accumen, initials DB !! your him are you not ?

That is the most pathetic post I have seen in a long time, its ok to be wary of whats going on , but what debt is it that they have to pay ? and why do you think they will still have to pay "the group overheads" once the majority of the group has been sold. Good quality CEO'S command good salary's , its based on what they could get elsewhere not what you think he's worth. He will use the money for acquisitions in sectors relevant to his forward plan, I am happy to let him follow that path (not that he needs my permission) You know as much about business (I run a successful one , how about you ?) as I do about nuclear fision They will be cash rich with a good plan , lets see what they do with it eh

I am a regular contractor to Boulby and one thing I can tell you is that they are the best payers in the UK, invoices are paid about 7 days after receipt which is not indicative of being in any kind of trouble. As regards potash versus Polyhalite, please see below Press release sent out early Jan this year, essentially the parent company has been restructuring for the last few years , it has not suddenly got into financial difficulties. You will find that a lot of employee's at Boulby are shareholders in SXX, this in fact is the exact reason I am in here and they are far more "in the know" than most people here (me included) ICL should not be written off, they are a very switched on organisation who will be a competitor to SXX, but it can only be good for both companies and the region in the long run, Date issued: 4-1-18 For immediate release CLEVELAND POTASH ANNOUNCES POLYHALITE TRANSITION TIMESCALE Cleveland Potash Limited has today advanced a proposal that potash production at its Boulby mine is expected to end in six months� time as the transition to the mining of polyhalite is completed. Ceasing potash production is likely to result in the loss of a significant number of jobs and the Company says it is beginning consultation with its trade unions regarding the implications. Today the company�s acting Managing Director, Andrew Fulton, stressed that the move to polyhalite was vital to secure the mine�s future and that despite the anticipated job losses, it would remain East Cleveland�s biggest employer. The Boulby mine is the world�s only producer of polyhalite, marketed as Polysulphate, which is a multi-nutrient fertiliser containing sulphur, in addition to potassium, magnesium and calcium. Today Mr Fulton said that the Company would have an initial production target of one million tonnes. He explained �When we first announced our restructuring plans two years ago, we made it clear that potash reserves were close to the end and, at the point when they were exhausted, we would make the transition to polyhalite production, with the inevitable impact on our workforce levels�. �At this stage, it is not possible to be precise regarding the numbers involved. We are committed to keeping job losses to a minimum and will be discussing the implications with our trade union. However, job losses could be in the region of 230.� �We understand that this will be a difficult time for our workforce and their families. However, with the end of potash production, we have to concentrate on polyhalite production in order to ensure that we remain a viable business and are able to continue to make a major contribution to the local economy.

My "regret" is buying 9670 shares in PSN at an average of �7.60 and selling at �12.00, jumped up and down at the hefty profit, I had got worried that they were "peaking". Then watched as they rose to over �25 and increased the return of cash to shareholders, Bah !!! But increased my holding in BDEV and had 16500 shares at one point, top sliced 5500 shares in 2017 , to leave me holding 11,000 at zero cost , so happy days , its the ups and downs of investing eh, bombed on Quindell and Coms so not claiming to be a genius :-)

The SP will probably stay put around this level until the 2 divisions have been sold , it then will depend on what they do with the big pile of cash, its possible that they have their sights on an acquisition or two that is more in line with the new long term plan now that should move us further up. Understandably a lot of posters have been knocking the current BOD claiming no activity or plan , the RNS the other day and the end of year figures positively disprove that and if this was a newish 2 year old venture in this position then there would be a lot of excitement for its future. Unfortunately we still have the legacy of the previous numpty to contend with, we need to accept that he has gone, he has no influence at all on its future , he is too busy doing just as badly or even worse with other ventures. I am still not entirely convinced myself until I see what they do with the cash, but I do not believe its any kind of ****house, only a couple of years ago it was and completely on its arze, but not now and one big positive is that you can pretty sure there will be no more placings or consolidations as there is no need

Buying at over �1 , 2 nice buys at 105 and 108

Good year end figures and a huge disposal and change of direction , it seems they have been busier than people think What do you think , good or bad ? I think good personally , we have gone from being fubar to cash rich and moving forward as long as they do not waste the opportunity

I think he (AHO) is working on the tactic's that the company's performance will eventually dictate the price , its all to come in my view, I am �22 k up on share value with over �4 k to come as divi on the 29th May, the share price is almost back where it was before ex/div day, so whilst not stunning, its not to be sneezed at (I have made worse investments believe me)

There are 6 of them at the minute SCAP is on 82 bid and 100 ask , so they want to buy but do not want to sell WINS is on 82 bid and 97 ask, so the same as above CFEP is on 82 bid and 92 ask so pretty similar PEEL is on 78 bid and 88 ask so is happy to buy if they re dirt cheap the others ARDA and SING are more reasonable at 82 to 89 at 82 and 87 respectively i have often seen this happen, then they adjust at the end of play (85 bid 87 ask at the moment) just so you know what is really happening , thats all , the sky has not fallen in yet :-)

forgot to mention - and there have only been 35 trades all day - strange but not indicative of a leak of bad news or any other such thing , definitely not ramping , I am as frustrated as you ( and many others) but not panicking yet, although to be fair I mentally wrote these off quite some time ago, The time to vent your spleen if you can get there is at the AGM, I might wander down this time and vent mine

There is not a sea of anything, there had been only 150,000 shares traded when I posted earlier (now 190k) , that is bugger all in light of the shares in circulation, certainly not enough to warrant a 9% drop ,( now 11%) it is possible that they are walking it down to trigger stop losses even. It started out as a 90-95 spread and is currently 85 - 87 one trade reported on here as 09.42.15 for 35,000 shares as a sell is on my III L2 as a buy @ 91 p a share (its more accurate than here normally) so who knows

The share price has dropped 9% today based on nothing , there have only been 150,000 shares traded so far today, that IS NOT a mass sell off by anyone with knowledge that we do not have , it is MM's walking the shares down for their own reasons , started with a spread of 5 p to trigger it

If this years results are better than those , then we are really moving forward and they have already said that they expect them to be, just have to see if they have been truthful , they are not the same board that beggared the company in the first place , that was "baldy the spiv"

But these figures and for last year (2016 - 2017) not this year 2017 - 2018 or am i missing something ?

is showing yesterdays trade at 14.44 as a buy 75,000 @ 97.50 its normally a lot more accurate than here Just saying :-)

Plus she is ex Cannaccord genuity who are now our biggest shareholder, mmmmmmm ?

It could be you know !! I do not think MB is the same kind of wide boy that DB was,so maybe he keeps his cards close to his chest because he knows the figures are going to be good, lets everyone speculate in the negative then releases a very good picture to prove us wrong , hopefully this would create a feelgood factor that would blow away the negativity attached to this share because of previous management. I think a clue would be VIGO not replying to enquiries , I do not think they could / would ignore them except on MB'S instructions . We could of course just be FUBAR, but I am a glass half full sort of a guy, its not over till its over and I think this smart space malarky is an exciting prospect myself GLA

I am with you, you would have thought that understanding the way that this company has been run and the raw deal given to investors by the previous management, this management would have worked hard to provide full transparency but without the bull. Whilst I do think that MB is probably not in the same mould as the last d head, he is not taking this side of the business at all seriously , its bordering on bloody rude if you ask me.Figures better be good when we eventually get sight of them , but its making me wonder if its not all more hot air, time will tell

He sounds like he has more going for him than our former CEO , Toople (TOOP) not doing so well, and his last venture HEYMENU LTD is in liquidation (google it) Someone needs to tell him , he is not cut out for this type of job !!!!!!

Its gone up nicely for a change, good RNS , pity there are no actual figures for the contracts , maybe in the year end accounts next month Encouraging though
