Anybody manage to get some of these? Online was a mess and I couldn’t deal as AJBELL seemed stuck halfway through the listing similar to HL. Shares seemed to have trebled in a couple of days already :(

I had to keep trying on HL. Got there in the end.

Out of interest what price did you get them for?

Any Idea why it jumped so much on 29th? Hey Charles, also what's your favourite whisky?

Thanks Charles really interesting!

An additional Venezuela related idea for you to search on. I am attracted to Venezuelan stories thanks to Swen Lorenz witings. From the arbitration sphere till today Russoro Mining is my best ever to catch with 20x bagging, thus following all VZ news closely. Assuming you believe or give a high likelihood that the US will guard the transition and it wont turn back Gold Reserve may be a really intersting stock. Although the Citgo auction in the US is still pending and an object of appeals, and the banks account seizure process in Portugal also ongoing, one of the most obvious beneficial of the transition may be this company. VZ plans to go through the largest ever restructuring with 170bn debt. But commercial claims stem from arbitration awards has advantages. With a potential large oil (and gold and other sort of) revenue flows in the near future, sources to settle and pay these claims will be given. Besides GRZ already returned to VZ aligned with US government officials, thus may be the main beneficiaries of the mining law reforms. Its Siembra Minera gold mine project had one of the largest undeveloped gold deposit the world. Not a coincidence they made an earn in agreement with Augusta and Richard Warke. And above these their 7 bn arbitration is still going in paralel, although they will separate the mine interests from the arbitrations soon into an entity called American Heralds Mining Corp.

So here is a great transition of a country, arbitrations in the billions, some of that already won and in the last assets seizure/settlement/payment period, and a part ownership in a pontentially world class giant gold mine project, US gov backing, cooperation with a gold mine legend, and a spin off story.

I am really grateful to Swen to introduce me into this sphere.

But as the story unfolds there a lot more to follow and search

Hi Charles, I trade with IG, so am I looking for VZLA on Monday? Thanks

It's still as REDC as Red Capital on HL, and REDC Apertura Energy on Interactive Investor

Is this stock REDC on HL ? I am a bit confused …

Charles Archer's avatar

The company has rebranded -n that was the shell. It'll be VZLA as of market open but HL may take a while top update.

Do you think they’ll have updated in time for the opening bell Charles?

Up 50% in the last days trading.

Now trading around 180p. So those who took part in the fundraising have made an 18x multiple so far. Hard to know what this thing is worth. But with capital raised at about 5% of the current price and a load of similarly priced options out there, I am going to adopt a watching brief.
