SALES PER ACTIVITY (Data as of 31/12/2005)

Copper operations & others: 100%

On this thread (below) I posted the graphs and yield for most of the mining companies a year ago. Might be worth having a look to see how they fare now. I suspect most of the yields are cut by at least 50%.

29 Jan Credit Suisse 115.00 Neutral
18 Jan JP Morgan... 85.00 Neutral
15 Jan Nomura 90.00 Reduce
15 Jan Liberum Capital 155.00 Hold

What's up with this one today , up 15% !

i think ANTO was up much the same, and have now cashed in

Copper is not up much today so i was wondering if it was currency fluctuation but ANTO operate in a different part of the world to KAZ so i doubt it's that .

all on the back of anglo i think

Been out all day, are Miners in general up today as well?

think so ...... i am also not really around

Well you are your both here .

only because it's 17:45 in europe and i'm now back at my hotel b4 going out to dinner

Not for long in my case, I'm being taken out to dinner apparently.. how very very kind of you Alf I didn't know you cared.

You've got some hopes Stan , cynic take out a left winger ,i don't think so .

Oh your so reactionary JB, unlike the very generous Alf.

There you go ,that explains it ..

Britain's top share index rallied on Thursday, rebounding from the previous session's falls after a drop in the dollar boosted commodity prices and gave a lift to mining and oil shares.

Britain's FTSE 100 was up 1.1 percent at 5,898.76 points at its close, snapping a three-day losing streak that had seen the index shed 4 percent.

The rally came as expectations for a rate hike from the U.S. Federal Reserve evaporated. That sent the dollar tumbling, making dollar-priced crude oil and metals cheaper for holders of other currencies.

This has done well of late ...

Again having another good run here , results on the 25th Feb.

Up more than 16% today.
