Some good new re pet coke prices (from https://news.metal.com/newscontent/103185694/Post-Holiday-Surge-in-Petroleum-Coke-Market:-Analysis-Behind-the-Explosive-Price-Increase-[SMM-Analysis] )

Some takeaways
1. Petcoke prices are increasing due high demand
2. anode producers are positioning for continued growth
3. higher taxes and tariffs applied to petcoke
4. flake graphite demand is increasing

Caveat emptor: mining dot com in a Cn owned website and likely does not provide a non Cn perspective on anode material demand, challenges or concerns.





most recent article I found on same website discussing flake graphite, link: https://news.metal.com/newscontent/103114057/smm-analysis-downstream-demand-rebounds-november-sees-growth-in-emnaturalem-emgraphiteem-imports-and-exports




So much negativity in this forum ATM. IMHO, if you feel something needs changing, rather than sit there stressing about it, change it, rip the band aid off - the pain will be temporary compared to the stress you guys (some) are feeling. Question: if you had a bad burn on your body, would you continue to burn it to make it better? Other than your own stress, you are also driving further negative sentiment towards your investment causing a spiraling loop. Make the hard decision because right now, we are only succeeding in making the detractors and trolls('s) job easier and you are not helping yourselves, please guys, find a way to become at ease with your investment (leave, stay, whatever, just stop being your own enemy).


and, may the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows.
