The Talga Bar

[cosors]

I'm a couple of days late, but have to say I am so grateful to see Mark finally addressed the topic of The ORB.

I submitted this question on the day of the Webinar. I thought Talga needs to know that we haven't forgotten about The ORB, and quite frankly I'm sure 99.9% of shareholders would touch The ORB given the opportunity. I never actually expected the question to be addressed, but the interview coordinator understood the mission (whoever you are, legend), and here we are!

Thank you @cronk for feeling the same way and educating the people of HotCrapper.

Now Mark refers to it as "The Great Graphite Ball" which I admit has a charming ring to it. But I'm sorry Mark, in folklore it's known as The ORB.
But with that out of the way, we have some answers!

• The ORB is healthy.
• It is owned by a shareholder.
• It has been relocated (currently in storage).
• It will be installed in the foyer of a building (a new building?).

Speculation is running wild to try and find out who the owner is.
Earlier in the webinar Mark mentioned Yandall (Creasy) has some graphite objects in his possession, and Mr Creasy has the financial means to buy and display The ORB, so this theory has merit.

But then again, @Gero addressed this theory with a "I couldn't possibly comment" comment. I would have let it slide but the winky face is very suspicious. So Gero is officially a suspect as well.

I hoped Marks comment "everyone can see it and touch it on their way into the building" meant it would be some kind of business foyer, but I don't think we can rule out a private residence. Because a few minutes later Mark says "In future years hopefully you could be invited to our shareholders place and see the big ball to which you mention" - Sounds like a private residence. So who is this mystery shareholder, and can we be friends?

Some questions answered, but new questions in their place.
The mystery continues.

Thanks Tim for this information and riddle!
That's really interesting. From this information I would speculate that MT has known the person personally for some time and it's not just a commission to a stonemason.
In my speculation this person knows what Talga very well going back to when Talga was cutting large blocks from the first quarry to cut electrodes from.
I speculate further and agree that perhaps the foyer belongs to a private institution or company and not, for example, a library or public authority. Such gimmicks that are meant seriously seem unlikely to me. So a privately run company with personal contact to MT that perhaps goes beyond a shared investment interest, who knows, maybe friendship.
And one more thing. It's been put back into storage as it's not ready yet, not yet. Wild speculation, maybe the building isn't there yet and it was thought years into the future.
Thanks again! I like puzzles like this. It gives the whole thing something personal, like a mission and a life's work.
You know, for me it's been more than just an investment for a long time. I like to compare it to a novel I'm reading. We've all learnt a lot!
So now I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything gets rolling soon and the Orb can roll into place as planned several years ago.
By the way, I first saw it as a W20 dice like some people know from games. Maybe they both like to play? Another speculation

But do we know of any buildings that are to be built (soonish)?

Not me. But it's still early here, so I can dream. It will be the building of a global group of which Talga will become a part of and move in. Talga supplies everything to do with the anode. But there's still a lot missing for a battery.
I'm currently thinking of Long Time Tec and Foxconn in a different context. Maybe something is brewing in a similar direction?

Perhaps it is worth looking for which company is already playing with this in the company symbol?

 

[cosors]

But maybe it's just something we have no idea about. In any case, it has been conceived long into the future. That seems certain to me.

I dream big for now and of a globally leading group. And I was able to follow the development in retrospect, then.

Maybe it's something which took Elon's fancy, and he's building in Germany.

 

[JNRB]

The building had to be redesigned,
nobody had realised the orb had become sentient...

I wouldn't have a problem with that as long as Musk keeps his fingers out of it!

I really should have thought about that question regarding the dry battery electrode process

Good God there is some rubbish going on over at the Toilet Bowl these days. Some numbskull called "TiTty2000" is ranting away egged on by some other moron called "Blacks" demanding that MT be held accountable for their capital losses so far.

It goes on all day interspersed with a bit of sanity from Gvan and @Gero plus a few others from here. Seriously 50% of what is posted now is by people who have no idea why they invested in the first place.

Mmm...........................come to think of it ????........................LOL

Actually if someone who posts over there could refer to him repeatedly as TiTty2000 it might shut him/her up

why should anyone bath in the sewer? I would rather wait for my enlightenment (ehh enrichment hehehe) in solitude. Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

It's their job to attract attention. Attention is their stage. They want our money and they almost always win. The only way is to ignore them. I know that's hard. That's why their job works. They are only gone when the job is done and a pump is due so that they can milk again.

 

[cosors]

Take a look at this. I think it's a clever idea. Whether it's beautiful or makes sense in the long term remains to be seen. But I think every approach to change something should be tried out, even if it's just an isolated solution to convince conservative Texans or Bavarians, for example.

Don't think so. Looks just like idiots to me. I read HC on occasion but I don't interact. They don't read like pabs at all.

I just had a super speculative thought about the orb. Why shouldn't there be a connection between the decision today to reorganise the board and this cube or dice? Maybe he's freeing himself up to go one step higher. Provided that something new would emerge, of which the Talga Group would be a part. Such steps would have to be taken early on.
Perhaps he has the feeling that when the judgement comes in, the team will be in the best possible position and that the Talga Group as a whole will grow together with something else. Absurd, but maybe the two are connected? Here in the bar, such speculation is allowed.

BASF has an ongoing case against themselves because of a plant in China and human rights violations against the Uyghurs.

Ohh dear.. Mark got margin called. Thank god, its "only" 200k shares. That means he is all-in and water is up to his upper lip. Hope that doesnt trigger sharks smelling blood in the water. We had such a good day on the stock market. Sigh.
