hi george,If the millions of shorts are funds that replicate the ASX200 hedging, then they will have the funds to keep the SP under control until they are able to cover. They don’t care until the upside is double their downside so, they are not in pain until $1.60-$2.00 depending on what level they sold/ shorted shares. OCO, one cancels the other (Rises vs short fall in SP). On the other hand any shorts without a corresponding Long position are fucked.
If theis ML only or something else only, and then other positive announcements follow in the following weeks, then IMO there won’t be a 50c - $1 spike in one day, more likely 20c-30c then a gradual increase to $2 as each further
comes out over 2-3 months.
Shorters will have time therefore to cover positions at 20-40% losses, then double up with Long positions and get more $’s back.
Just saying, don’t think there will be a massive short squeeze. Caveat: If ML, BFS, FID and further Offtake and another big player were all to come in on Wednesdaythen true massive, massive short squeeze
.
I am just happy that finally ML is imminent, after being so imminent for frickin months and month. Got sick to death of
and it is “next month or next week, or end of week”.

99% chance great news on Wednesday and 1% chance the wheels have fallen off the AVZ train.
very much agree with your sentiment... i think most will have to $1.80 to cover before the short losses exceed the shares held gains..... and will be somewhat in control until they do.... fair chance a lot of them will be happy to hold post ML, finance offered and FID anyway, even if purchased originally due to their own mandates to hold...at that stage they wont feel the need for the hedge..
my initial thought was the TH was for the extra 15% purchase.... but, realistically, when you think CATH isn't handing over the funds until ML (as it would appear), then, why on earth would nigel commit unconditionally to the extra 15% until then also....
so, farked if i know what if not the ML... either way... all looking positive and happy with the DRC commitment with Zambia... even though it wont get off the ground for some time...
