If you think of the board like a football supporters club it makes more sense.
Mapp, there is nothing special about aim other than its slightly less regulated and cheaper to be on than the ftse, however if AIM is so cut throat, then don't buy companies that are listed on AIM.
All this cobblers of "Protraders pouncing".... they buy shares they sell shares, they don't see who they are buying them off and who they are selling to and what "pain? What are you talking about? They might have bough a ton of shares today at 120p from someone who paid 100p from them a month ago and has just made 20% in one month. This is what I mean by pejorative claptrap. Pouncing tigers, stealing and inflicting pain on muppets. (so anybody and everybody who sold today was a muppet?)I mean really ,read it back and take a breath. You have simply no factual idea about anything in that statement, its just a fantasy of baseless assumptions you have that you felt the need to share.
AIM is a game. Just watch it move up and tell T/W that his guesswork is cr..
When someone with money meets someone with experience, the person with experience leaves with the money and the person who had the money leaves with experience (Warren Buffet)
Protraders spend their days watching the screen and pounce like a tiger
catching his next meal. In plain language traders steal. They steal from Muppets
who leave in pain, having no idea that AIM is a game.
again, ok fine, but every post that's not about the SP is about info that will move the SP, so why get so huffy and rude about people who want to discuss what moves the SP?
Its not info that dictates the SP, its people buying and selling that move the Share price, and they often over react both buying and selling. An that's where the opportunity can lie, because groups of people are predictable.
Anyway GLA
I got as far as ‘for those who care’. Quite proud, not gonna lie
Good then, because the last thing we should be interested in is actually the single, only thing of any value to every single one of us.
Any idea why the SP has gone from 125p to 118p today after all this good news?
No, well don't worry, its not important because tomorrow it will be better,.....and all those silly people selling the stock will be kicking themselves.....
oh, so it does matter then.....
i wasted 3 minutes of my life reading that drivel. filtered
fwiw, and for those who care, I see these boards slightly differently to some, maybe many.
All that is important when buying or selling a stock is the price the market gives you at that time on that day. What happens before or after is irrelevant.
The best analogy I can offer to demonstrate my approach is perhaps Formula 1 racing. All that is important is the result.
So, its interesting, maybe, as to what the engine maker is saying and lap times prove about how great the engine is and how superior it is to the rest. That may and even should win the race, but the car could crash, a tyre could puncture, a poor pit stop could all cause the car not to win. Its just the result that counts, that ultimately matters.
If you bought this stock 3 months or so ago and you still hold it then you are looking at fantastic returns, if you bought it at 210p you are looking at a substantial loss. The company is the same but timing is everything. All that matters is the price.
So what, that AVCT today they have the best tech, they might not have it tomorrow. What if another unheard of company says it has all the answers, does that still make AVCT a great company although the SP falls to 20p?
It just seems (and this is common on all boards but this one particularly), that any investigation or comment into what really and in fact only matters, ie the SP, is treated almost by many, with scorn. ("don't worry about the price today, wait till next year", as though anybody has the feintest clue as to what the price will be next year, or how irrelevant that is if you need to sell in the next day or so.
Or, if you are concerned as I have been about the fall recently, somehow get labelled as a T/W soldier (which I don't know even what that means btw!)
However if I post simply a hopeful "here comes 150p by tomorrow" or there is an "RNS on its way at 1:30" I'll get loads of recs.(Which personally is instructive to me of those on the board that do that, as it displays nothing more than wishful thinking and supports ultimately only childish guess work or misinformation from the to original poster.)
There is no news that anybody can bring to this or any other board that the market has not already got. (otherwise its insider trading). It is interesting that the posters here who understand the tech and its applications share their views, its excellent background info to go into the mix of whether to buy or sell in the first place but that info is already out there.
Many here I am sure realise that this game is a psychological one, it is driven by fear and greed and it is easy to see how manipulated people become, but the more we discuss these aspects, the more likely we are to be successful investors (see Mapp, just for you I used the term investors). But language is important, crucial actually, because when pejorative language is used it frames our response to its understanding and it can make us completely miss the point.
