Fairplace Consulting Share Discussion Threads

[montyhedge] 22/2/2007 07:25

Don't forget these were well over £1 a couple of years ago, directors buying and more importantly these two guys buying 22% and they have good reputations. Can only see one way for the shares up we go.

[topvest] 21/2/2007 22:11

All looks very encouraging - nice to see the large overhang disappear. Nice to get the timing right!

Ooops...I think we all missed this!

Thats good, might be some press comment tomorrow, these guys have a good reputation, they would not get involved with this tiny company if something was not going to happen, like I said market cap peanuts.

[tonyx] 21/2/2007 21:15

montyhedge,

They are showing in my online account so I must have them.

[montyhedge] 21/2/2007 21:13

tonyx
I hope you got them, because I expects shares to be 17p - 19p tomorrow.

[tonyx] 21/2/2007 21:12

Mmmmm...my 20K buy hasn't shown up!

[tonyx] 21/2/2007 16:38

Very interesting company especially after the interims & the 2 guys taking stakes. Have taken a small 20K nibble for now.

[montyhedge] 21/2/2007 16:19

Smart coming in just bought another 100,000 at 15p.

[montyhedge] 21/2/2007 16:00

Market cap £1.5 million, watch rise tomorrow.

[montyhedge] 21/2/2007 15:56

The two guys who have taken a 22% stake have good reputations and will have a following, I can see this going to 35p easily, market cap is peanuts. A nice short term winner.

[dod5] 21/2/2007 14:19

this is ok now, i like to see a + next to shares that i hold

[topvest] 16/2/2007 20:58

I thought that I would start a thread on Fairplace. Interims show some encouraging trends...starting to turn the corner?

[holdontightuk] 06/4/2006 21:05

Bought some of these yesterday, along with ROK.V, GAL.L and another but the name escapes me due to too much vino on my 10th wedding anniversary!

SUBJECT: Cobalt-Shortages feared through 2007 Posted By: Trespasser

Cobalt
Shortages feared through 2007 if demand surges
Purchasing December 28, 2005


World production of cobalt appears to be in balance with demand in 2005, which increased by 4,000 metric tons to meet suddenly improved orders from firms making aviation and aerospace engine parts. However, production setbacks in Zambia and Norway could result in severe cobalt shortages over the next two years even if demand from aerospace metals fabricators continues to expand just at its recent rate of growth.

Actually, buyers and analysts believe future demand for cobalt-bearing superalloys is going to skyrocket. That's because Airbus has received 687 purchase agreements through Nov. 30, 2005, while Boeing had 800 new orders. And those tallies didn't include announced orders by China for 70 planes from Boeing and 150 from Airbus because Beijing hadn't yet signed firm purchase contracts.

One issue is that Zambia's largest producer, Chambishi Metals, is delaying deliveries to customers for up to three months because of production difficulties at its Luanshya refinery. Falconbridge declared a force majeure on deliveries, also because of refinery problems. Since the supply problems were made public in December, buyers haven't encountered any problems with deliveries or quality issues. But prices responded to the threat of tighter supply with spot sales of 99.8% cathode charted by Purchasingdata.com increasing to $16.40/lb in mid-December from a November average of $13.40.

After hitting a nine-year high around $27 in the early months of 2004, high-grade cobalt prices have been in a steady decline because of increased supplies. So, from an annual average price of $24 in 2004, monthly prices moved from $19 to $14 and back to $16 in 2005-to an annual average of $16. Some analysts see rising future demand - triggered by hybrid motor vehicle needs - pushing the price back up to the $18 to $25 range from 2006 through 2008.

Another factor that could boost demand, tighten supply and bring prices back to the early 1996 peak area of $31/lb is the increasing use of cobalt-bearing superalloy Invar M93 in cargo containment systems for deep-sea liquefied natural gas carriers. There are a record 126 LNG carriers on order worldwide to be delivered in the next three years. Each new cargo containment system will use an average 550 metric tons of the cobalt alloy

Grandich:

I have contended that $500 gold was not a question of "if?" but "when?". I said the second leg of the bull market should take us there and we would know it when gold began to rally against most currencies (including the U.S. dollar) not just when the Euro rallied. Well, in case you've been missing for the last couple of weeks, let me be the first to tell you – The second leg has begun!

When the Euro began to fall out of bed, many people thought a short gold position was a no-brainer. The daily mood in the gold pits was that it was only a question of when gold would break below key support around $410 and then below $400. However, when gold held above it and even began to stick its head up despite further erosion in the Euro, the shorts began to cover. This was followed by reports that physical buying of gold was very strong, as The World Gold Council (www.gold.org) reported very strong demand for the first quarter of 2005. The combination of the short-covering and physical buying gave new wind to the longs and we have since picked up a head of steam that appears it can take us to new highs above $454 this summer.

Silver – Key resistance is in the $7.50 area. The commercials bang the heck out of it when it gets around that level. They may not be so lucky next time around and we could see a big run to above $8. I'm not a big silver bull as I do think most metals will see their highs for 2005 in the next few weeks. However, it's not going to fall off the cliff, either.

Copper – Has held up surprisingly well given a belief that an economic slowdown was apparent worldwide. Continuing low supply and the real estate bubble that hasn't officially burst yet (signs are already apparent, at least to yours truly) has lent support to copper. A short squeeze is underway IMHO, but I'm afraid once it runs its course, the highs for 2005 and maybe even 2006 should be in place. The upside is $1.75 but the downside is $1.25. Enjoy it, though, while it lasts.

Platinum and Palladium – The most consistent metals in terms of maintaining a tight trading range. And there's nothing on the immediate horizon to expect otherwise - although I suspect Palladium could surprise by getting above $200 and staying there.

Uranium – I've been "hot" on Uranium for some time (but was bearish on uranium shares until now). Believe it or not, I'm even more enthralled now. The recent news of a company going public whose primary purpose is to buy and sell uranium has, IMHO, opened the door for similar companies to be formed that can become almost self-fulfilling prophecies in pushing up uranium prices. I hadn't given much thought of uranium getting past $50. However, on the belief that hedgefunds and sophisticated speculators will see Uranium Participation Corporation (U-TSX-V) has a model to play the uranium bull market, $100 is now feasible.

Cobalt – This is my sleeper metal. The hybrid car market may just become the main car market faster than most think. And the use of cobalt in hybrids can greatly boost its upside potential

Breakout!
Looks like it will now move up to test the old highs near $0.80-0.90

Exotic metals may take off with superjumbo A380
Jan. 18, 2005


From India Times.....


Prices of certain rare metals used in aircraft manufacture like cobalt could take off as the superjumbo Airbus A380 is built in the next few years. Aluminium, used extensively in aircraft manufacture as a lithium-aluminium alloy, is in plentiful supply in a market of 30 million tonnes a year. "In the global market, the amount of aluminium being used (in the new Airbus) is akin to a wart on an elephant's backside. When it comes down to it, it is the high-value metals that will benefit," a metals trader said. These are typically nickel, cobalt, titanium, tantalum and rhenium. Nickel is a one million-tonne a year market, while annual cobalt availability is some 40,000 tonnes. But rhenium is perhaps no more than 45 tonnes, traders said.
