Screen prices bid 12p offer 13p, volume @ 10:30 21K / 2 trades

Weak holders fold at a lowly 12p, playing into the firm hands of Oxus !

Reminder

"
Marakand Minerals Limited ('Marakand' or 'the Company') received notification on
10 July 2006 pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Act 1985 that Oxus Gold
Plc and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, being non-beneficial holders, has
increased its shareholding by a further 2,906,407 ordinary shares and now holds
86,659,984 ordinary shares representing 85.78 per cent of the ordinary issued
share capital of the Company
"

Interesting, no dilutive issue of OXS shares.

So balance 14.36m @ 20p can be done for under £3m
OXS getting Marakand back on the cheap!

0238jr - i hope we get the revival; as ever when Khandiza announces s/p
will jump multiples (from 12p!) imo. So best to be holding not watching.

Etr - LOL ! You still in OXS or MKD ? ('the giant is poised' may be GS !)

[0238jr] 28/7/2006 08:03

they say cut your losses, and let your profits run.

i bought this at about 16 and saw profits run to 28. i guess perhaps at that point they had run enough!

hanging on now, covering margin and hoping for a revival.

lol," Every stock is like a human being : it has a personality - a distinctive personality - aggressive, reserved, hyper, high-strung, volatile, boring, direct, logical, predictable, unpredictable. I often studied stocks like I would study people; after a while their reactions to certain circumstances become more predictable."

MKD, the giant is poised and the multibagger beckons

[eriktherock] 27/7/2006 22:32

'Why MKD is a multibagger!!!' Should read "Why IS MKD a multibagger?"

Closing screen prices bid 12p offer 13p, volume 221K / 18 trades

Fair volume today considering so few free-float shares!

Using 3 for 1 conversion rule, MKD should be at least bid 14p
Buying MKD looks a cheap way into OXS imo (under 39p)

(OXS closed 42.25-44p)

[cezary] 27/7/2006 13:46

Glad to see someone hoovering up.

[giant steps] 27/7/2006 11:24

Hammer-bottom reversal ?

MKD still sitting on huge attributable assets even when JV shared !

[phillis] 27/7/2006 11:23

Well I'm certainlty tempted but my confidence level in OXS has waned a litttle of late

[giant steps] 27/7/2006 11:09

Phillis - last chance to buy under 12.5p ? (37.5p in Oxus money !)

OXS should look to clean up (MKD 12-12.5p, OXS 42-43.5p)

[giant steps] 27/7/2006 10:55

MKD 12p-12.5p, buyers enter at 12.20p online

Low volume decline from 18p may be easily reversed

[giant steps] 27/7/2006 10:27

Cezary - Yep, could well be a real snip.

A rising OXS share price could do wonders here !

[cezary] 27/7/2006 09:46

Definitely not for the weak hearted here.
Still bargain of the century, when Oxus sort themselves out.
As the OXS share price rises which it will, it will drag the MKD share price up.

[giant steps] 27/7/2006 08:54

Phillis - yes, i see the stampede this morning for the exit !

Are Oxus still offering 3 for 1 ? if so may go and buy a bucket load

[phillis] 27/7/2006 08:39

Expect you'll be piling in again GS?
This is now either the bargain of the century or the last chance to get out before the lights are extinguished

[giant steps] 27/7/2006 08:26

MKD screen prices bid 12p offer 12.5p, volume @ 08:25 NIL (OXS 42.5p-43.5p)

[phillis] 27/7/2006 08:23

Last chance saloon

[giant steps] 24/7/2006 10:07

OXS share price still under pressure, bid 39p offer 41.5p

MKD n/c 13.5-14.5p

[otd] 23/7/2006 23:56

At this share price one could consider buying for the project in Turkey alone....

[nobull] 21/7/2006 23:02

Slapdash

What would be the point of having the exclusive right to negotiate the development of Khandiza if the Uzbeks would only give you a zero percent stake in the joint venture? The delays are annoying. (The Uzbeks see no point in hurrying while zinc goes up? They don't have to account to their fellow citizens for the delay in creating jobs?) They are unlikely to want to give us anything like the NPV implied by the $5.8bn figure of (recoverable?) metal in the ground that Mr Trew gives prominence to in the report. I imagine they only want to give us the absolute minimum (they don't get favours back from Britain?) and perhaps would prefer to give as much as possible to their favoured friends, the Koreans. It wouldn't inspire confidence in other foreign investors if they insisted on Oxus having a zero percent interest in Khandiza. My guess is the project will get the go-ahead, but perhaps only with us letting the Koreans have big stake in it. The delay might be due to each side waiting each other out to get better terms?

[giant steps] 21/7/2006 12:16

Cezary - tongue-in-cheek !

80p good call !

[cezary] 21/7/2006 10:59

gs...not really!!
I think all these so called 'soothsayers' looked back in history where the last 'bottom' support level was...I think around 1st August 2005 when it was at around 40.25p. In July/August 2004 it was around 43.75p.

Ok, I predict now that after all these problems because OXS is now oversold; the share price should pickup and we could be back on an upward path towards 80p again.
