Also strow, now is the time of year to release and bury bad news in low volume (this is why many bad trading updates and profit warnings come out just before Christmas).
Now is not the time to give out good news, as nobody is interested as its holiday time.
If we get no news from EKA before New Year thats a great sign, then I am fully expecting a good news update in the first 2 weeks of January. The Times rumour would then probably be correct about EKA taking 100% of Chelyabinsk and expect some big upwards movement in January.
