ILU - Iluka Resources

[rcw1]

yes the long wait has me concerned a LOT of things can happen in the next two years

this could easily become a take-over target ( cash finances and resources stock-piled ) the perfect recipe for a leveraged buy-out

i hold ILU ( just saying )

after watching the take-over of Rinker ( remember them ? ) i could see the whole thing ( effectively bought out with their own cash stockpile )

yeah lots of things could happen ... but hey that's the nature of the beast bloke ... Tom O'Leary would need to be on his game. Expect that though.

Kind regards

From Iluka's website:

i bet the long-term holders of LYC and choking with laughter and frustration at this whitewash

there MIGHT have been processing in Australia if WES had taken over LYC

but here we are strangled by paperwork and red-tape again .. and 'the environment ' still reigns supreme in political thinking

( i hold ILU and WES )

This looks to me as if is likely breaking above its seven month downtrend resistance line?
Hasn't looked back since my paltry maiden buy. Was hoping to accumulate but don't think I'll chase it.

Iluka dropped 6% today on ordinary volume, however Vanguard group has been accumulating and posted an increase of substantial holding notice. Can't be bad - can it?
Competed with other possible buys for my attention today (NHC, WHC and SND).
Not a call, but a little further down in price looks possible?

Vanguard ( i hold VAS and ILU ) openly advises that it lends portfolio shares out so maybe it is bad

since ILU is shrinking in market cap. one might wonder where the extra shares are being allocated ( surely not into VAS )

have they a new resources-focused ETF on the way ?

i have a 'low-ball order ' in the market for extra ILU

am very cautiously accumulating

have been in ILU for a fair while

in theory i am down 49% , but then i was given some SRX ( since take-over ) and DRR ( so buying price is not the whole story )

i am treating this as a titanium play ( with some REE potential in the longer term )

i have been kind of 'channel trading ' this without actually using that strategy here , ( just taking some cash off the table when it breaks $11 )

Bottom of the bicycle pick up for me - zircon + rutile - along with the longer term aspiration to be a REE processor.
A jaded ex holder has made an appearance on the thread (ShareSuccess) - all grist to the mill for my contrarian thesis. Cash from trash.

Uh oh, Market Matters sent out a trade alert this morning - they're selling ILU (and buying EVN)
Good for me I guess as I'm maintaining a buy disposition.

Via Market Matters today:

"Morgan Stanley has become bullish on Rare Earths, upgrading both Lynas (LYC) +6.97% and Iluka (ILU) +2.08% to buy equivalent, saying… “Generative AI is fast enhancing Robotics capabilities which is expected to create a sizeable humanoid market… this could add cumulative incremental demand of up to $US800 billion across covered critical minerals by 2050,”

Via Market Matters. Is this good or bad or nothing. I mean someone sold a big pile but equally someone bought the big pile and not at a big discount? Almost added today, went for more IPG instead.

Held
Accumulate

"A block of 5 million shares in Iluka Resources (ILU) -0.83% , equivalent to 1.2% of float, traded at a market value of A$18 million around midday.
The price was A$3.60 per share, a discount of 0.4% from Monday’s close; Iluka fell 1.1% Monday and is down 29% this year"

well that depends on who was buying , ILU used to have a reputation as a good swing trade , so is some fat-walleted trader sense a market bottom ?

if not a trader , does someone think there is a bid coming for that rare earth stock-pile sitting above ground ?

or maybe somebody thinks a partner is coming to JV a rare earth processing plant to put the stock-pile through

but what if it was a big seller ( offloading to a broker ) does the seller fear ILU will be booted out of an index of two in the next S&P rebalance
