Vast Diamonds

I am indebted to Alastair Ford for his piece on VAST. It took VAST ten years to recover the huge collection of diamonds that VAST had legitimately scooped out of Zimbabwe and which had then been nicked by Mugabe with, believe it or not, machine gunners aboard helicopters. Lord Carrington decided that Mugabe was a thieving oik when in London for settling final arrangements whereby Rhodesia became Zimbabwe. But I doubt if he ever foresaw Mugabe using helicopters to murder Zimbabwean citizens.

Anyway, after years of wrangling to recover these diamonds, VAST has been able to get them to Dubai where they are being sorted into gem and lesser quality stones. It looks to me as if there is a huge haul emerging. I bought 9m at .51p this morning and, whilst accepting that there is obviously risk, reckon that this is a doubler or trebler for starters.
