Is it possible to assess level of shorting from trades ? I assume a sale has to be recorded somewhere to reflect a short position ?

[pjm1162] 05/5/2017 10:59

No need for this 6% rise today. Fake bounce.2,000 a point short on again from 106. I'll collect my 12k profit when it drops back to 100pI am a pro

Last year the company broke even when the rand was 14.8 to the dollar and platinum averaged 974 dollars. Right now we are 20% worse off. If this platinum price debacle does not quickly recover there is no chance the banks will allow them to draw on their facility without forcing the issue. Shareholders second again.

Now that's an intelligent post.

Production report due on 15th May. H1 was released on May 16th last year, so not late. Surely anyone with such a significant 'interest' in this share would have known that!!

[pjm1162] 03/5/2017 15:38

I think results are late, never a good sign in my experience, I expect at v best break even but I doubt it v v much.

[jw3721] 03/5/2017 11:50

pjm, Thank you. When LMI results to be published?

[pjm1162] 03/5/2017 10:34

My 2 grand a point turned a nice positive colour. Just needed a bit of patience which I have.110 is key resistance now.This should hit 100p area v v soon with a possible 93p target soon

redbaron 10 -

I doubt if my divs. will have covered my 31% loss, in an ISA to boot. However, I live in hope.

[pjm1162] 02/5/2017 18:45

Not closed, still happy, it will go sub 100 soon imo

[redbaron10] 02/5/2017 18:03

bouleversee,you get a good divi with N.Brown (how long for, i couldn't say).I've bailed out totally having bought in 5 weeks ago at 214p.The one good thing going for the share is that it is not a 'bricks-and-mortar'retailer,so the overheads that other retailers have aren't there.It has some well established 'power' brands so it's not the worst investment in the world going forward.

Zuma ran into some major headwinds yesterday. Currency a bit firmer today. Interesting times.

[bouleversee] 02/5/2017 15:59

Thanks. They have been a lousy investment. Can't imagine what the misspelling issue can be; will have to investigate and look and see how much I am losing. They used to do so well that I had assumed they would recover in due course but not so sure now.

[redbaron10] 02/5/2017 14:27

where do i start bouleversee? Results were in on estimates,but there has been some mis-selling regarding consumer protection laws that meant a provisional £30mill odd in exceptional costs for the financial year.But ladies apparel has been performing well with SimplyBe and the big bonus is that Tesco are going to be stocking N.Brown goods,plus they poached a head honcho off of Boohoo.Plus the stock had a Hold rating from Numis,plus a Buy rating from HSBC.All in all a result.

[bouleversee] 02/5/2017 14:05

So what's going on with N.Brown? I hold in 2 places but haven't been keeping an eye on them.

[redbaron10] 02/5/2017 13:58

harry_david been busy with my N.Brown holdings.See if anything happens on the US open here.

[harry_david] 02/5/2017 08:11

Redbaron, apologies Google insisted in changing your moniker!

What intrigues me is how the money men in hedge funds have total control on precious metal prices.They know PMs are a proxy for currencies and they have rigid control now.Geopolitically it is quite a scary world with the Donald and N.Korea facing off,and yet the VIX (or fear index as it is called) is at multi year lows.Gold is around $1270oz and platinum $320oz cheaper.Nothing scares markets anymore.There is just no volatility about anywhere.Palladium on the other hand,because it has no investment value to really speak of,and its industrial use is in petrol car catalytic converters,we have seen a massive increase in demand and subsequently its price.The demand/supply economics are working in this market.Again look at the oil market.There is an oversupply,but oil speculators are taking advantage of the OPEC cuts in production to control the market and the price.It is an artificial market,pretty much like every commodity and asset because of quantitative easing.Investing and stock picking is becoming very difficult now.Meanwhile,there is talk of disruption and even civil war in S.Africa.Things can only get better!
