Well my average is 2.2p, so the share price has to rise 300% from here before I'm back to break even!!
From KeithOz over on the Kavango board - hope he doesn't mind me reposting:
"Ben said 'It's still early days in the programme, but the data we've already gathered are intriguing'. I'd agree with that, in fact the word I used a couple of days ago was puzzling. It seems everyone is convinced (with good reason, imho) that these are pukka carbonatites, but the first drill produced results that were not expected.
It makes perfect sense to try and refine the subsurface definition, and AMT is ideal for that - by changing the frequency used, you can visualise 'slices' at different depths, and together with the existing 2D AEM you can build up a pretty good 3D picture of your targets, and thus optimise drilling.
Also very encouraging that Mindea have once again opted for part payment in shares -and at a strike price well above market price. I look forward to more info from Ditau - the guys & girls on the ground would not invest more in this project if they thought it was likely to be a dud."
Putin will still be selling his iron ore to China, they have developed a close relationship for this reason - China needs Russian commodities. Plus he can get paid without needing the SWIFT system, as China have their own.
Today's rise shows that there are winners and losers in every scenario. Presumably SS's exposure to the defence industry responsible for today's rise?
Yes I was on a webinar with them and the fund manager was going through the disposals within the fund. Their reasoning was that after a call with the management team, they didn't feel it was a stock that they would want to add to, so questioned why they were holding it at all. I don't think they felt it was a bad stock, but they've recycled the money into Calnex Solutions, which they felt offered a better opportunity. I going to continue holding this for the time being.
I learnt this morning that the SDL Free Spirit fund sold its position of 2.3 million shares in December. Obviously this would've put some downward pressure on the share price.
Buy low, sell high is the mantra, yet so many investors don't seem to be able to get their heads around this. Buy into the dips and have a medium to long term investment time horizon. If your investment is down it's only a paper loss unless you crystallise it.
No idea???
I’m still 25% down after two and a half years invested here. A complete waste of time and money if this is accepted. Still, that’s investing for you!
Very disappointing price if this goes through.
Private equity firm Vista Equity Partners is nearing an agreement to acquire British automation software developer Blue Prism Group Plc for about 1.1 billion pounds ($1.5 billion), people familiar with the matter said. The U.K. technology company is set to recommend Vista’s bid of 1,125 pence a share as soon as Tuesday, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private. The offer would represent a premium of about 35% to Blue Prism’s closing price of 832 pence on Aug. 27, the last full trading day before takeover interest became public. Blue Prism said in late August that it was in discussions with Vista and TPG about possible offers for the company. Both firms have until 5 p.m. local time on Tuesday to declare whether they would will make a firm offer under U.K. takeover rules. After the Vista deal, the buyout firm aims to combine Blue Prism with existing portfolio company Tibco Software Inc., which it acquired in 2014, the people said. Vista plans to maintain Blue Prism’s U.K. headquarters and invest in research and development, they said.
While Blue Prism’s board is endorsing the Vista offer, other suitors could still emerge, the people said. Representatives for Vista and Blue Prism declined to comment.
Shares of Blue Prism have fallen about 31% in London trading this year, giving the company a market value of about 1.15 billion pounds. One of Blue Prism’s independent directors, Murray Rode, was previously a longtime member of Tibco Software’s management and served as its chief executive officer after its purchase by Vista. Activist investor Coast Capital, which owns just under 3% of Blue Prism, recently said it’s open to a private equity takeover of the company after initially opposing a sale. The investment firm’s founder James Rasteh said the company’s management had now earned his trust.
The software company’s depressed valuation reflects concerns about gaps in its product portfolio and its distance from key clients and investors in the U.S., Rasteh said in August. He said his firm had spent five months drawing up potential operational improvements that would accelerate Blue Prism’s sales growth. Vista, which focuses on investments in enterprise software companies, was founded by billionaire Robert F. Smith in 2000. It has more than $81 billion in assets under management, according to the firm’s website.
