XST (X State) are currently drilling out a breccia pipe system in arizona - historically the highest grade uranium in the US in this area. Director bought $500 000 (half a mill) worth of shares recently...now that's a significant chunk! I just dipped my pinky in at 44, seems to be good support here...results are not far off.

Combine that with credit suisse taking a 5 percent holding just before makes for interesting reading. Will be watching this one with interest.

Yep, forgot that one. Credit Suisse jumped on VMS early days too, made some profit there. They are also notoriously conservative when it comes to investing in speccies, so they must be confident of a return?

It is an off-market trading, not spend and risk money, so it does not count. So there is no impact on SP movement as wished.

PS. I am not ramping down this, XST might has very good future because in USA. It is hot in USA.

A overlooked ann. on 16 Mar, GMI' s directory Peter Griffin spent $137,000 for 100,000 share. GMI is a listed management investment for global miners.

And Mar 22, Kieran Rodgers from BSM spent over $226,000 purchased 754,007 at 30c each. from Mar20 to Mar 22. A bit too quick to ann???

DGR

Last week, the spouse of Director Christopher Rawlings has bought 260,000. Not much for $24,960

A couple of things make it significant:

1. Director's spouse has different surname. Must not be the first marriage, or she is a strong woman, cannot be easily screwed;

2. She increased her share holding (exclude option) by more than 50%

TAP – Tap Oil

On the market purchase of 14,285 shares @ $1.475 on 23/3/07 (only $21,000) by non-executive directors N Taylor, P Lane, M Sandy. It states that the share purchases form part of the directors remuneration package, however the following day an announcement was issued in regards to the acquisition of a share in a new perspective tenement with Woodside, adjacent to an existing discovery.

2 Directors of TAS yesterday indirectly bought $307,000 each worth of shares and options for their superannuation funds. Sounds promising - Anybody care to shed some light on it as I don't fully understand the indirect purchasing - Does it simply mean that the aren't buying in their own names? Link to TAS announcements:

Here is the refreshment for the purpose of this thread. The significant is:
Mini $50,000 (could be less if increased share holding by 50%)
Nature of Change MUST be On-Market Trading
All dividend reinvestment, exercise options, free share and options, placement entitlement, Off-Market Transfer, etc does not count.

Reason: On-Market Trading is put the directors at same footing as you and me. Since he/she has insider information and we don't have, usually it is an excellent indicator if the director is reasonably capable and reliable.

But also patient required sometimes because the ASX insider trading rules. It might take a longer time before the expected price action taking place.

For example, Bakehouse Quarter Fund's Robin Tedder bought 45,666 shares at $3.86 is a good one,

Fnbar International Limited's John Chan bought 73,600 for $57,880

Yes.

Mmming,

Does the directors indirect purchase of TAS satisfy your criteria? If so do you view it as significant that they have purchased $307,000 (each) worth of shares and options "on market" from what I can gather? This is a large investment in the company by "those in the know" considering only $67,000 shares have traded so far today.

niknah · 29 March 2007

Maybe a bit late for this one, the share price has gone up maybe 10% since...
SHV, Maxwell Fremder brought $1mill during 2/mar - 7/mar(9/mar announcement)

The latest TAS situation, as far as I read, it is acceptance of Entitlement offer or so. It means directors acting like you and me on the same information, that is the Prospectus. There is no advantage for directors. So is no value to you and me.

Investment or trade is more a kind of art than science. There is no absolute rules or criteria. In this instance, just close your eye, pretend you are the director on the board. You are expecting a positive news might have huge impact on the market. Can you keep the secret? 99.99% chance is that you cannot. You might tell people in your circles just doing your duties.

You might tell your "wives/husbands" (include ex-), daughters and sons, parents, etc. Also you might take actions by yourself. buy, buy, and buy a lot...

But you have to disclose it to the market, and smart people might pick it up, follow the leads....

There's been some activity with BSM recently.

On the 21st, the leading shareholder, Intec Hallyer Metals Pty Ltd, increased their holding by ~10% (1,004,007 shares at 30c = $301202) over a series of onmarket purchases.

Over the past couple of days, several of the directors have been increasing their stakes with the exercising of options, in quite large amounts.

SP has rised from 30c to 32c over this short trading period.

mmmmining · 29 March 2007

Directors exercise options can only be considered as neutral sign at best if the exercise costs is less than the current share prices.

Directors would exercise the options because:
1. The options are going to expired soon;
2. Since most options for directors are unlisted, it cannot be traded on ASX. If directors exercise options way ahead of expiration date, there are two major reasons: The company needs money, or director needs money by selling the exercised shares (director might need to transfer some of the asset to settle a broken marriage).

svensk · 29 March 2007

True, but the 10% on market increase in holding by the leading holder is still significant.

Director recently buys 800000.00 dollars of LTR and further reading shows EQN holds a 10% stake.Drilling going on so could be one to watch

RMI has a very interesting share holding action. Sinom (Hong Kong) Ltd clean out Anchorage Holdings, another Hong Kong based company, end up with 13.4% of RMI. This is why Sinom nominated director Zhang Chi's interests increased by 22.5m shares.

Nevertheless, something might in brewing, I don't know. But RMI is a dirty cheap company, WOWO Gap nickel laterite deposit in PNG has 14mt+ contained nickel, and 120,000t Co, and an Argyle Iron Ore project in WA.
