african minerals appears to be upping its stake - possible takeover / offer?

i've still got half running at a smallish profit ..... that's always the difficulty when travelling and especially when in a diff time zone

Ah cynic - you've landed then... on your feet?

yesterday evening and been at meetings all day

Working hard then :0

sure am ...... just finished doing me e-mails for the day (2230)

I hope that's not 2,230 emails cynic... no, just being silly

oh not you Mistress T; surely you could never be silly

:)

Glad I didn't sell any.More rises tomorrow. 8-)

yes you've had a good day..... i didn't have the b***s...... no comment cynic;)

have put in a stop at 33.5 which, if sp keeps moving up, so will my stop ..... really don't now care if i get stopped out and that proives "too early", which only hindsight will clarify

i owe Number2 Son an expensive dinner i think!

=================

and now stopped out
it was always my intent to sell before the news anyway, so i shall now sit back and watch ..... don't think i'm brave enough to short, though just may be persuaded later

i put my small profit in lonmin.....£1 up so far from my ave.,.

have now shorted here at 34 with a stop at 40 and a limit at 25.25, as unfortunately i'll prob be in a meeting by the time the news comes out and/or market opens ...... however, there looks to be little or no buying interest, and any news on monday is surely going to have to be pretty amazing if hefty profit taking is not to ensue .... we shall see

was expecting news today, but perhaps later ...... in any case, effectively no interest at all in this stock today

many pages of abuse back (post 271), Number2 Son reckoned
"Meant to be 2 resource upgrades and release of pre-feasibility study for mining operation before a big industry event on 4th february"

now it may be that his info was a bit wonky, but if not, it should be of considerable concern that this update from BAO is now relatively significantly overdue ..... that never presages well, though i admit to being an interested party (short!)

sp currently drifting day by day, so a caveat is certainly in order after such a massive run north

Cynic, No specific dates were said. Just during Feb, So technically not overdue. Good time to close yer short. That's what the company is obviously waiting for. ;-)

i note your useful comment blanche, but meanwhile interest in this stock has faded away and it continues to drift south ..... i am now nicely in money, and i may heed your advice to bank a(nother) nice profit, say before w/e .... certainly i need to remind myself that shares are for making money and that it is all too easy to blow profits, even with sensible stops in place

i heeded your advice and obeyed my own discipline .... i can now watch and wait with total equanimity :-)

Gonna be another Sharp rise in the sp any day now. Don't miss out.

perhaps .... i've certainly done well of late, purely riding the momentum
