Hi SBK,

Well done re ANTO. Copper rallying a bit now (2.649 as I write v 2.617 close Friday), hence ANTO consolidated a bit. But to double in share price from current levels, it surely needs copper to recover some way further.

I note TA proponent, Zac Mir, who sees ANTO rising to 1000 later, targets a reverse to 750 before that. None of this factors in macro variables, like potential trade wars between China & US, et al, which could send markets & miners into sharp decline. That possibility no longer so far-fetched.

JC is very pro-Brexit & a Trump fan to boot. No surprise to see unsupportable accusations coming from him, nor seeing the poster, Broadmoor, & like-minded company support him.

The rest of us know it couldn't be further from the truth. Of course you're missed by many for your valuable input from a refreshingly individualistic angle.

I suggested a new alias via another email address only as, right now, I can't see much headway in getting re-instated unless iii get back to you with some kind of "final warning".

I appreciate you don't want to jettison your 17 year history, but I can still find Tas's history in a few seconds. Easy if you have a poster in your favourites list. Ditto the late Rumplestiltzkin. I keep them there out of respect. So SBK's posts will alway be on iii & can be linked to in a comment any time via a new alias. Just a thought.

Best regards.

Hi SBK,

Thanks. I was going to link iii's reply tonight for your interest alone, though the key problem remains: sadly, no progress made for any of us in revoking, or even receiving explanations, for your ban.

Have iii actually given you any reasons? They ought to. It's very hard to make headway when iii restrict all their replies to meaningless officialese.

Kafkaesque indeed & look where poor, hapless Josef K. ended up!

Other than the probability that the alias who reported you is also sometimes present on BARC's BB, little is being granted. Whoever that is, it's highly unlikely to be anyone who interacts regularly on BARC's BB & who thus, presumably, understands & appreciates your often thought-provoking sense of humour.

More likely, it's a fairly recent contributor who takes very strong issue with your position on matters like Brexit, ridiculous as that seems.

Per AAA, Wannabe & Frog, like Soi, are all good guys, as I know you'll appreciate. But short of storming iii's HQ, kidnapping key staff & holding them to ransom ("re-instate SBK or else!"), what more can anyone do.

That said, I'll email iii again later & more specifically about your ban. But increasingly, I really think the best way forward here might be for you to try & re-register on iii via another alias. - All the best!

PS: Little significant movement with ANTO today. We really need copper to reverse again, but so far today it's slightly back up.

Jack,

I saw the iii response to you.

It strikes me of being classic Kafkaesque: you are punished (by having your post removed), for an unknown offence, following a complaint from an anonymous accuser!

Still, at least you are not imprisoned in a dungeon and having to wear an iron mask like me.

Anyway, some cheer due that great man John Bercow banning Trump from Parliament and saying true things about him, just like me.

I also note that my torch of righteousness in such matters is being carried now on iii by such as Per ardua, wannabe and Frog.

However, it is rather galling to see them putting their tanks on my lawn and assuming my mantle and going lukewarm on my defence case.

They should be reported to neighbourhood watch!

IMHO,

SBK

P.S.

I think that this is a time for the greater use of stops and limits. I always used to eschew them as House/Banker devices but they are really showing their worth in these uncertain times. Memo to self: check out those long term Fibonacci charts. They always come good in the end.

IMHO,

SBK

[sir buns up knealing] 05/2/2017 19:17

soi,

Saw that on the iii LLOYDS Board. Thank you very much.

I'm planning to set up a SBK defence fund to campaign for my reinstatement. My numerous supporters on the iii boards will be urged to donate in Bitcoins to my Agent's address in Lagos.

I think that we will all need to be nimble with ANTO this week. Should go south but as usual there really is no telling.

Banks may continue to rise on the back of Trump's deregulation policies but I have a hunch that the gilt may be wearing off, given the legal bashing he has just had. Maybe it will be realized that his powers are going to be curtailed by a blizzard of litigation and nervousness in his own Republican Party? But anything can happen these days.

Regards and thanks again.

IMHO,

SBK

SBK,

That was always one of the key issues causing massive resentment across England's underbelly though, wasn't it? UK's future was always prioritising London's interests.

Hence a lot of Northern English cities gave pro-EU London & the government a bloody nose in June's Referendum. Now? The future ain't London as it used to be & it certainly could never be Stoke. Our future is Brexit, regardless of how we feel about it. - Regards.

I thought I would pop in and offer some crumbs of support to the iii bb outcasts and the disadvantaged.
It took so long to find my way here, that I now remember why I did not return.
Anyway, glad to see SBK is still alive. I was concerned that the new US administration was pushing ahead with their plans to reinstate positive rendition in Guantanamo with a little undue haste.
Hears to hoping you can return to iii shortly, it sure feels a bit bleak here.
Best wishes
DS.

ps I think Soi tried to sabotage your most excellent entry into the competition.

[jackdawsson] 03/2/2017 08:01

Hi Soi,

Thanks. Copper still edging down. Hopefully ANTO to follow.

But I'm also mindful for later of Trendfriend's recent chart-based view that ANTO could see circa 950 technically. Hope not, but that may warrant some consideration if it stays well above 800. - Regards.

[sir buns up knealing] 02/2/2017 19:20

Jack,

The plot thickens! It is heartening to know that I am judged so powerful a threat to someone somewhere.

Must be a grasser in our midst? Trouble is that there are so many suspects...

IMHO,

Regards,

SBK

Hi SBK,

It seems iii have now deleted one of my recent posts highlighting the travesty of your ban. WeightIssue has just drawn my attention to that fact on BARC's BB. I'll email them for an explanation.

Copper down, ANTO up, but at least it's on below average volume again. But brokers, FWIW, getting more bullish.

Regards. - Busy day tomorrow, so catch you later.

[jackdawsson] 02/2/2017 14:19

SBK,

Thanks again. Quite agree with your 14.01 comments on ANTO. Time seems the only uncertainty.

Just passed on your ideas to BARC's BB on iii. Of note, posters like Per Ardua ad Astra, Soi, Wannabe, et al, have been most supportive & to their credit they too continue trying to make headway in overturning said ban.

I'll also try again later today as I need to focus on trading screens a while more. - All the best!

[jackdawsson] 02/2/2017 14:01

Hi SBK,

Thanks. I'll put forth your suggestion on BARC's BB shortly. Nothing to lose trying.

Re Trump: after promising to build a border wall &, ludicrously, that Mexico would pay full cost of it via increased tariffs, Trump's already floundering. This explains why tariff options seem a non-starter, unless US wants job losses & inflation:

hxxp://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2017/01/26/trump-import-tax-pay-mexican-wall-would-hit-american-consumers/97108386/

UK politics really has hit the pits. Never seen such dearth of political talent in my lifetime. Especially the opposition. But same goes for all UK parties. One just needs strong financial backing to stand a chance of toppling the established order. Perhaps Soi can help?

Little to add to views on ANTO, though copper's down today, so no surprise to see increased selling on associated stocks.

Now bagged over 310 pts on UKX shorts since 6th Jan, which has eased pressure on my overall leveraged position considerably. But no easy pickings.

Catch up later. - Regards.

[sir buns up knealing] 02/2/2017 14:01

P.S.

More thoughts on ANTO at this juncture. You may recall soi posting on iii after the big run up into the 7s awhile back that when it got back quickly into the 6s he wished he had still held those higher shorts instead of cashing them in for routine profits.

I think that is where we are now and soon the 8s will be 7s. Especially, as soi said that he was sure that I would be fine with my 736 short. However he did not put a date on it...

IMHO,

SBK
