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

:)

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

a very unexciting update ..... am sorely tempted to short again

and so i did, later that day at 28.75, though relatively modestly ..... yes, i know i kept that one quiet as i was unsure whether or not it was a smart move

Good job magicjo not about.......... oh dear.,.

did i miss the sharp rise?

post 393 :-))

i have no need .... i own up to mistakes, and assuredly this was not one - read 392

I'm only joking but it could be read that you were thinking of shorting (post 392).
Then post (393) some three days later if you shorted later that day, your post states you indeed shorted . The day of this post the share happens to lets say crash after the three days before were fairly modest falls. It can be read this way, not that I am reading it that way. In other words not to be picked up about it, would be best would it not, to post ones actions not three days later?
