I have created this new thread so that anyone who is interested in attending a celebration lunch, day out, whatever to celebrate TMC's share price reaching 20, can register their interest and voice an opinion on what they would like to do.

When,.......Obviously timing is not yet known.

Where,......Somewhere pretty central to most posters.

Who,.........Is it just investors, or do we include other halves.

What,........Theme park, slap up lunch, piss up.

Any ideas, put them forward on this thread and we can all openly discuss options and formulate a day of celebration.

commodity prices in general are unlikely to recover significantly for at least the next 12 months ... if you (any of us) were that percipient, we would have made many billions by shorting the market 12 months ago ...... therefore what makes you think you (any of us) will get it right this time?

World oil demand will contract by far more than previously expected in 2009 due to extreme weakness in the global economy, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Wednesday.

Demand is expected to fall by 980,000 barrels per day in 2009 to 84.7 million, the agency said in its monthly market report. The IEA's forecast last month was for demand to contract by 500,000 barrels per day this year.

hyleo .... that is not strictly relevant to the recovery timescale of hard commodities such as nickel ..... i would hazard a guess that oil demand will lag, though i would still expect to see crude prices recover sharply once the OPEC cuts really start to bite (can cuts bite??)

I'd say it has a 100/1 chance of reaching 100p again worth a punt imo.

did you back Foinavon too?

How do you know I'm a jockey..?

cynic we should all look forward and not take the ostrich position, you do know what happened to the ostrich?!

there is looking forward sensibly and realistically (and that includes timescale) and hoping like Mr Micawber ..... of course the recession will peter out in due course, but it does not necessarily mean that the likes of TMC will be around to benefit ..... i will just hark back once more to the latest RNS and its very gloomy content.

we should also not forget that all shares are ultimately for trading, not for sticking in the drawer and forgetting about.

cynic you have forgotten the nickel ore will still be there when the recession is long gone.Why do you say you are not interested in minnows when you spend so much time blogging on about TMC and others like SEO etc?

SEO merely causes me mirth ..... TMC i used to follow - and probable lost quite a lot of money on it too ..... generally, i comment to throw some cold water reality on shares which have caught my attention for one reason or another

cynic others see opportunities, you can't be right all the time. Sometimes its better to keep quiet.

of course not, and though i am sure yours are words of wisdom, i am very happy marching to my own band

If everyone kept quiet there wouldn't be much point in a FBB, contrary opinion is what makes a Market!

Opinion based on ignorance is not worth considering.

what ho young peter .... where have you been hiding or were you headfirst in a snowdrift ..... i shall think of you when i am enjoying the sunshine in dubai at the back end of this month, even though i shall be working pretty hard ..... am quite surprised you guys aren't beating up the somali/yemeni pirates

any good news for you perchance?

halifax .... you no likee, then squelchee or at least no reactee .... you velly silly man!

cynic have you been drinking too much chinese "tea"?

i do have some first flush darjeeling here in the office, which though damn expensive, is delicious ..... so in answer to Q, no

cynic try some jasmine much better for you.

i hear jasmine is a very pretty girl .... seriously, i do commend first flush darjeeling to your refined tastebuds
