You're right Ian, love that little car. Cheers.

The Peel P50 vid took me back to my first car in 1962, a Messerschmit KR 200. Fantastic fun for a 17 year old airman. After 70 years have graduated to a Panda Trekking, which is also great fun - and practical. Fancied a Jag with the dividend, but as it would only be used for special occasions, will rent one when I need it.
Can't be long now, GLA.

Cheers Koph, it makes sense to me of the protracted negotiations.

The knowledge we do have, as stated in the Sunday press, is that the western economies are desperate to prevent the total monopolization by China of the very materials we hold in abundance. The eventual ownership of our company will be critical to the prospects of western manufacturers who are, to a large extent, subject to the agreement of the Chinese making make these essential commodities available. There is only so much of the stuff, no one is going to get all they need - and it's only going to get worse as demand increases.

The value of this company, imo, is strategic - and way beyond the price of the metals. All I know is that our investment is being managed by experts and we can have confidence in them to get the right price for what we own.

Chrysalis, brilliant - thanks for such an encouraging and credible analysis.

GLA, W.

Dealer, i think there was a sense of anti-climax following the latest rns, and perhaps expectations have moderated. Whatever is going on behind the scenes, I'm confident that the BoD is acting in our best interests, but the outcome of this labyrinthine negotiation is not an easy one to predict.

Sure we'll be happy with the final result.

Thanks for sharing your story Andy, It's humbling to read of the difference such modest expectations would make to your life. I hope your £2 target is exceeded and leaves you in the blue. You are in the company of a great crew and I hope you can share in the celebrations with us when the deal is finally landed. Good luck for the future, W.

Bit of blue today Angus, good luck.

Good luck Angus, hope it works out for you. W.

The table of trades is overwhelmingly blue. Each buy is a vote of confidence in the share and the BoD . Even the sells are not necessarily a negative vote, as all buys are voluntary, some sells are obligatory. The efforts of the naysayers seem to be having little effect. - In some ways you wonder at their will to carry on!

GLA, W.

This isn't like buying a house, it's like buying a two acre plot in the middle of Mayfair with full planning permission.

GLA W.

I feel gutted for you too SS, after hanging on for so long, Just hope the price is better than you're expecting to help compensate for your sold shares.

Brilliant analysis Caw and very persuasive theory. Connects so many details of egm statement. Difficult to see how they can keep the price down much longer.

Gla, W.

Stix, Thanks for bringing this article to our attention. What a belter, justifies our faith in the company and despite being under water for so long, still don't feel deterred from adding more.
GLA, This has to be a the start of a very good week. W.

Just a thought - but a possible scenario.

The rns could happen tomorrow or Tuesday, to declare an agreed price, plus an invitation to vote on acceptance. This would allow a week for the votes to be registered before the egm on the 28th when a formal acceptance (or not) could be announced.

Perhaps it doesn't work like that, but whatever happens, we must be on the cusp. GLA, W.

Title of email received last night. Having read about the 5 star hotel in Sicily, I think their timing for a celebration holiday recommendation was spot on.

Agree Mjd, I hope The Hooch is still following this bb. It would be great to see his comments on the latest news.
