Maybe I've been here less time than anyone else but a feeing persists we have been right royally screwed by the MMs. To be sure, no surprise if at least one more bulk buy appears in the next 24 hours. We are minnows in this game.

. . . and Fulmar, you may elect to have your own post deleted under the circs. It wasn't smart.

Not me. I've been out for a few hours. Would rather stop posting when there's derision. Have no objection to being put down. I know Zambia, Botswana and the Karoo craton better than most (or maybe all). Carry on as you wish. I also have a good understanding of how Sandton HQ functions. No gripes from me. It was merely an opinion at the outset.

Surprised. Have been out for a few hours. Drop is unexpected.
How those two big trades were worked is beyond comprehension.
And what is the tall tale on Canadian bbs about a bridge repair holding things up?
Another red herring?

I'll let it rest after one last justification = NvS has invariably had to compromise on timeframes. He is an ex-Anglo/De Beers exec and will co-operate. I shall not digress into related issues.

Am now of the opinion that Anglo could relinquish their grasp on the EA for the time being. Peruvian CEO McCulley will focus most of the group's attention on Quellaveco to bring it online in 2022. Castillo's imminent confirmation of the presidency will create some anxiety in Lima before matters settle.

My early enthusiasm on NvS's prowess has weakened to some degree. He tends to miscalculate timelines as we all do. Casa is a good example. I am not suggesting the programme is scuppered but Nick needs to get the newswire humming once more.

Almost fait accompli. Time to move on.
And Brent will charge through $80.

. . . until all the frackers in the Bakken open all their DUCs (uncompleted wells).
They have been awaiting this day.

$74.14 and climbing. Have been adding to oil p/f since $62, spreading risk.
I believe $80 is attainable quite soon. Some forecasts are astonishing.

I believe I might have seriously underestimated a future fossils' scenario.
My excuse: funds are limited.

!Hilarious. I can top both:
In Zim, I have been known to water the garden in a heavy thunderstorm.
In SA, water shortage? What water shortage? But, boss, there's water in the pipe!

Back to reality . . . I suspect a grapevine leak will precede heavy trading activity here.

Reading material recommended.

Tempted to top slice but with Brent looking so strong reckon it has legs to go past $80 without too much trouble. Even with Keiko employing a gang to contest election result, and dragging things out, I feel Castillo will present a new (better) face. The dispute will however continue. Brent will plateau at some point of course.

TAL/TSX may push things along this afternoon.
I now have six very good AIM stocks.

@ 12:00 - Although difficult to do so, it's a time to relax. I am in a similar position on three other AIM stocks. Prefer to be in sound projects rather than the HURs of this world.

Perhaps most folk haven't quite grasped that pathogen detection is going to become part of daily life in the years ahead. It's taken us years to realise that viruses transmit globally via air travel within 24 hours. I certainly first realised it was so when first flying on our old Comet. I invariably brought a cold back with me to Heathrow.

Also, investors don't seem to have registered that KMK's sales will increase by at least 50% in the next financial year.

Trying to get a grip of trade types which can be anything from anywhere.
The above (tentatively) is from the eurozone, Switzerland to be precise, and could be either a buy or a sell. Awkward.

The bid @ 16:30 on 100k was 15p.
Maybe a slightly better day tomorrow.

@ 10.55
Keeping a casual eye on any US activity here from 14:00 onwards.
Presumably there will be some PR across the water.

Together with the recent presentation it looks as though Arnab et al. have really nailed it this time. As my investment is modest I can see benefits to hanging around for quite some time.

(Error) Brent figure was £73.09 on Friday.
Today we are up to $73.21.
Where's the peak and what benefits to PTAL?

@ Mike33
Thanks for your useful research string.
I found all information informative.
And today's news is a very welcome tonic.
