Biden tried to prove he is up to the task and fumbled, again. He doesn't see it though

"President Trump is articulate with a very high level of acumen." As long as you ignore the fact that he lies nearly every time he's being articulate with said high level of acumen. He's dangerous, like another leader who thinks, "The breakup of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical tragedy of the 20th century."

Has anyone read Red Notice and/or Freezing Order by Bill Browder? I highly recommend reading these books, in fact it should almost be compulsory reading if you're invested here or anywhere that Russia has it's tenticles

SJN1 "Lot of ramping but no one highlighting the material uncertainties and how this could all go very wrong very quickly"

It has already gone wrong - stock markets are forward looking and fundamentals get priced in. The stock price more than halved upon news of Russia's invasion, preceded by a massive drop caused by just the potential of war. The stock price also pretty much halved upon news of the legal proceedings against it

If Trump does win (which with each Biden geriatric stumble looks more and more likely), then I bet his idea of ending the war is to give Putin the majority of what he wants

SilverSpoons it's no use posting a link that sits behind a pay-wall

SilverSpoons, NATO doesn't canvass for new members. Individual countries decide themselves and then ask if they can join NATO, and the existing members then decide if they can join. Sweden and Finland both joined as a direct result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and Sweden had trouble joining due to opposition from an existing member. Putin / Russia brought it on themselves, just like Putin will bring on his own downfall himself IMO.

Great, there's a war on, but we are greener than other steel producers

This board is always going to attract delusional conspiracy theorists. Unfortunately the war is not going to end anytime soon. Even if Putin drops dead tomorrow, the unbelievable coincidental deaths of his opponents has assured the next in line will be similar to Putin.

In the short term lets hope the Ukraine Supreme Court overturns the court of appeal decision regarding the claim against Ferrexpo Poltava Mining, which would result in at least a 100% gain from today's price IMO.

I don't comment on here much, but I've been in and out of FXPO for about 5 years. On the face of it a deal looks like a good idea, but IMO would be akin to paying a ransom - you then set a precedent and you're then potentially easy pickings in the future. If you think you're on the right side of the law, then fight it as high as you can in the court system. If Ukraine and their judicial system goes down the corruption road then they will shoot themselves in the foot for all the foreign investment needed to rebuild their country after this war.

It looks like Russia might have struck a deal for North Korea to supply them with arms to continue their invasion of Ukraine. I'm not sure I'd trust Kim Jong Un, even if I was Putin. Both are a good case for never putting an angry short man in charge of your country!

I sold out of this at around 1.60. I'm scaling back in now. Oversold I reckon. It must be due for a retrace soon.

Massive volume today relative to average. Didn't move the price much though. I sold 80% of my holding today and have put it into NASDAQ stocks. More happening over there at the moment, plus the share forums don't quite have the same whining feel to them as here!

I dumped my shares. Made a good enough profit and I was becoming nervous about a big Russian retaliation for Ukraine attacking inside Russian territory. I'm sure Putin will be well ****ed off with that - it will be tugging at all his small-man insecurities. Might dip back in at some point, if it goes back down enough.

I’ve just watched that YouTube link with the Peel Hunt analyst. It may be an unfortunate comparison given his lazy eye, but I’m not sure if he’s seeing straight

I can't imagine many here still holding at 195p?

Mindcheck, "dangerously insane" is a good line - I would assign that to your leader and his speech a few hours ago though.

I've had this on my watchlist for ages but never dipped my toes in. From an outsider it seems a big problem is the crazy volatility of the Vanadium price - by my research and calculation over the past 5 years there has been a 564% swing between the bottom and top price, which shows through in the company's financial statements. Very difficult to operate any business with this sort of volatility.

JohnNth, so let me get this straight - you make a statement, then rather than back up your statement with proof, you say the burden of proof lies the other way? You should be a politician. Then to top it off you personally attack me, after calling out another poster for doing similar to you, linking it to losing the argument. Did you just admit in a round about way you lost the argument?

JohnNth: "Facts on the ground indicates the Russia carried out an orderly withdrawal instead of a hastily one"

Do you have a link to support these "facts", because the rest of us don't seem to be finding the same "facts".
