i think these could be a great buy below 20p

[barnetpeter] 04/11/2008 13:10

Strong rally today.

[edmondj] 04/11/2008 13:10

Funny how all the high-risk stuff seemed to re-rate from mid-morning!

[barnetpeter] 04/11/2008 13:05

Strong rally today.

[barnetpeter] 03/11/2008 21:18

I agree but I have bought a few of these at 19p. A big discount to nav of approx 60p.

[hectorp] 01/11/2008 16:22

AN awful conglomeration of holdings, too many all over the place IMO.
SO far I'm not interested, but will keep a close eye.
I'm only in aq couple of minnows in the UK and CEY, Yamana , Kinross for gold and for silver , First Majestic. So far so good last week.
Will probably add Silver Wheaton.

[barnetpeter] 29/10/2008 10:50

energyi - do you think these are a good punt at around 18p?

Any comments on the Proposals??

[energyi] 25/9/2008 04:50

you will have to get the latest list of holdings to do that

[masurenguy] 21/9/2008 16:28

Since the NAV is just slightly more than double the share price I would like to see a complete breakdown of how they have arrived at that figure !

RAB SPECIAL SITUATIONS COMPANY LIMITED (the "Company")

The Directors today announce that the Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share based on the
estimated value of the RAB Special Situations
Master Fund provided by the Investment Adviser as at 11 September 2008 including income was
73.03 pence.

RAB Capital's involvement with Nor­thern Rock has cost the firm dear.

Chief executive Philip Rich­ards has had to stand down at the firm to concentrate on improving the performance of his £790million Special Situations fund which he used to buy Northern Rock shares. In the six months to June 30, the fund lost 23 per cent of its value.

[bisiboy] 26/7/2008 12:38

forced by redemptions on the main fund, however this just makes a more compelling case for buying a dicount on nav already discounted by forced selling.
it doesnt change the fundamentals in the underlying companies i can see
a monumental rally in junior resources at some stage double or even tripple
in a short space of time.

[stuart14] 23/7/2008 12:53

Rumours of these guys liquidating positions now, could explain the truely dire state of the junior mining and oil markets. RSS were prolific investors of juniors over the last few years.

[bisiboy] 12/4/2008 10:39

think these are due a good run
now look oversold
