There has always been a lot of animosity between the Fed and Trump so it is possible there will be no rate cut though having said that I do not believe that the Bonds being sold depend on the rate cut. If that was so then SXX would be very near the knuckle and scraping around for investors to take up the bonds. We all have our opinions based on hearsay , speculation, vague reports etc . At the end of the day CF will get the mine finished and in years to come it will become a member of the FTSE 100 and be a company lauded around the world for its foresight and innovation. There will come a time when every fund manager in the world will want to hold SXX in their portfolios. There is one hurdle to overcome the bond issue, representing only 10% of the total cost of the entire project. In all honesty why would the cornerstone investors back out now when they know they have within their grasp a company that will become a world leader in the fertiliser industry and will return their own shareholders capital growth and income from dividends for years to come.. I know I switch from optimism to pessimism and it is because I have a lot of money at stake and to lose it at my age would be a major hit. Not fatal but would would leave me with a reduced income in my retirement. And to all those who say its a gamble I agree. Yes i was looking to make some money in the not to distant future, my first reason for investing, but I was also swayed that this is a British enterprise based in Britain and something we could all one day become proud of. If I lose everything it will hurt very badly and I only have my self to blame. Buying shares in any company whether they are FTSE 100 or aim listed is just like walking down to the bookies and putting everything on Frankie Dettori in the DERBY. It might look like a winner but strange things happen along the way. Good luck to all those who are waiting for good news and I mean that most sincerely.
