Why is everyone so worried about the consolidation? Surely the more NB point is the period after the rights issue when we see where the share price will net out? If its above my 32c break even over time then great ( R32 when the consolidation happens ) if not poor me.

At least my intention when starting the Lonmin talk was getting people to be aware of some of the more interesting JSE challenges happening.

IF your average price is 21 cents


My average price is 30 cents so I will loose a fck load

Nope, consolidation happens at whatever the current price is. So if they are 21c the new shares will be at R21, if they are at 32c the new shares will be at R32 etc. So you will not lose any more than you already had to that point...

I don't understand this.
How can the price go from 21c to 21R or 32c to 32R?
So if I bought 1 share at 21c it will be worth 21R when the price goes to 21R?

Here is an example on your 100k scenario:

You tried to buy R100k shares at 22c. You would have found that they could not have bought all your shares at 22c. The average share purchase price could have been 23c. This being said, after paying your R100k you would receive this number of shares:

R100,000.00 = 434 782 shares @ 23c average purchase price.

Come 18 December, Lonmin will give you 1 share for every 100 shares you own. No you have this number of shares:

4347

They want to take the volatility out of the market and all shares will now be worth R21. This means that your shares will be worth:

R91 287

This means, with the consolidation, you will have lost:

R8 713

Now you need to pray that the shares climb...

So I should hope the share price goes to 23c then it will consolidate to R23?

Nope.

Otherwise they will fck over the shareholders.

Consolidation happens over the agreed upon price of the rights issue

NO!

If you bought 100 shares at 21c (purchase price R21), they will become 1 share valued at R21.

If you bought 100 shares at 23c (purchase price R23), they will become 1 share valued at R21.

That is correct.

That's how I understand it.

Of course I am open to correction in fact for my own sake I hope I am wrong.

By the time of consolidation, the share may even be worth 20c, 19c... Imagine the losses :) even for those who took up the rights offer...
