If Taiwan kicks off we really are in a new age of War. Some financial prophets have always argued that would be the obvious end to all the money printing..

Know a few Russians who family connected and they are truly in pieces over this. Their visa's look a lot further away now to.

Act of War? Hopefully not!
Commodity price are high unless you're a Russian company on the stock market. Then you're pretty damn cheap! China must buying digging deep into their pockets right now. Fire sale.

Couldn't believe hearing Liz Truss saying they would back people wanting to go. Long drive at the weekend with talk radio on and heard many 20 somethings phone up wanting to join the foreign legion. Poor young snowflakes who lap up media. Ukraine saying come we have weapons. None of course had any military experience and sounded like they would be taken out within a few minutes due to their naivety if battle ever came near. Not to mention the fact it's illegal and they would be acting as foreign mercenaries!

Liz Truss has a lot to answer for to any young brit who leaves these shores to fight a war we wont send our troops to.

The other part staring me in the face is if this isn't going to arm criminal opportunists I don't know what is. Every gangster group within a few 100 miles will be going to load up on free weapons.

Ukrainian.. Come fight with us, free guns!
Opportunist gangster.. "Yeah we'll have a few truck loads of those guns" and be out of here.

Yeah, there is quite a system of laws and protections for shareholders. Especially when the said company isn't going bust. Dividends will always be paid.

You've got to realise the strategic importance of this company to countries outside of Russia.
Steel is needed in a big way, there is a serious amount of worldwide projects on now and planned that rely on steel from Evraz.

This is not in anyone's interest to delist or cause issues to this company. It's a load of media driven war mongering hype because they know a few Russians hold shares and its operations are heavily in Russia.

This is the company..
EVRAZ plc is a United Kingdom-based steel, mining and vanadium business with operations in the Russian Federation, the United States, Canada, the Czech Republic and Kazakhstan. The Company's principal activities include manufacturing steel and steel products; iron ore mining and enrichment; coal mining; manufacturing vanadium products, and trading operations and logistics. Its segments include Steel, Steel North America, and Coal. The Steel segment is engaged in the production of steel and related products, which it sells for domestic infrastructure and construction projects. Its vanadium business is based on processing vanadium **** from steelmaking operations. The Coal segment provides raw materials for the Company’s steel mills, supplies coking coal to domestic coke and steel producers. The Steel North America segment focuses on the markets in the Western United States and Canada, offering products including infrastructure steel, rails, large-diameter pipes and oil tubular goods.

Obviously the coal part has now been delt with and thats why £6 is an unrealistic price, after the disposal of coal assets and the return of capital its more like a £4 share.

60-70p is just the gift of a lifetime because the market is uncertain. It hates uncertainty. If the BOD issued a statement, it would solve the uncertainty. For me though, they did on 25th Feb and said they are paying a divi so it seems Mr Markets memory ins't working well.

Someones buying it now among the manipulation.
This is a British based firm. Unreal the markets here allow this when its way more buys than sells.
A proper up yours to anything Russian.
Thing is with so many world wide holders and pension funds etc, its kind of like carpet bombing just to get a few names that hold the big chunks.
China must be licking there lips at some of these share prices of huge successful commodity companies.
Buy out time indeed.. Some serious wealth and asset transfer happening.

From accounts 4 days ago...

• An interim dividend of US$729 million (US$0.50 per share) has been declared, reflecting the Board's confidence in the Group's financial position and outlook.

Looking at the trading it looks like algorithms from these institutions manipulating the price down with small sells. West is buying up these assets at fire sale prices.

I think 20p is being a bit greedy! Took a punt with 1000 at 69p. Lose £700 or the war comes to an end, Evraz gets back in a year or two to £6 and my dividend is 96%

Act of financial war. Kind of shooting your own though as many many hold this and will suffer.

I hope you bought some at 12p!

I would say it would be a good idea to issue a statement and say we are paying a dividend. Unless of course they want this to happen which looks very much like what is happening. So many small trades, PI's buying this, is there supposed to be some sort of market regulation? Makes you laugh, this is making crypto look stable.

Watching from the sidelines today, I can see way way more buys than sells here. Watching on a few platforms and this just looks like a form of War. Russian connection so no matter how many buys, they take it down. Bit of media coverage to help. This and POLY were two of the best fundamentals companies on the UK markets. We are witnessing a transfer of wealth and assets which looks a lot like theft. There is a lot of British pensions in these companies, Can't believe the BOD here have not issued a statement. Are they in on it?

If they bought at that price, They will buy at this. Dollar cost average. Blackrock are one of the dodgiest most connected of them out there, they know what they are doing.

Does make my skeptical side wonder about the military industrial complex. Warned for decades how bad it is.

Media is telling us all to boycott anything Russian, put up with high energy prices etc all for the greater good. Meanwhile US institutions are having none of that and buying up all the Russian assets they can get at knocked down prices.

Still flinch when I read the price some LTH paid. What was the market cap back then Adgy, Do you recall share in issue?

I can see Blackrock cleaning up here a bit like they are in the property market. This is certainly a transfer of wealth and assets happening right now.

POLY with results tomorrow, EVRAZ with a 30% odd divi being paid next month..

Who has the balls to make the trades.... Blackrock do with POLY.

Blackrock are buying up the world and probably love this situation. Clearly they are taking advantage of it.
