I don't trust CEO's on the whole Longlad , but if he doesn't put his money where his mouth is here then credibility gone for good, you reading that ED?
Yes the other side of the coin is getting done over by brokers listening to their whispers and saying no we don't do that and then get on the phone immediately and sell, sell, short knock the f out of it .
But that is my concern with his doubling of shares , people shouldn't agree with it blindly it is usually there for those with plenty of money to make more money and do over retail investors.
The works - ahem. Perhaps that does describe me.
e) Need the money for a spliff!!
I invested directly into Northern Leaf's pre-IPO raise a few months ago. I only found out afterwards that FFWD (which I held) had done the same. Now Chrystal Capital are getting in touch to see if I want to buy into Yooma's dual listing. Am I right in thinking it's better to invest here (esp. if headroom in ISA) while SP is still so far under NAV? Isn't there more of a discount on the Yooma holding via FFWD than direct...??

One last nonsensical rant before I head out.
‘ CEO has pledged to buy shares once he is out of a close period’
Remember our other New Zealand buddy saying he has fully funded, and then the plonker got taken to the cleaners by the spivs.
Point being aim CEO’s have to be taken with a large pinch of salt
We do wonder if all these so called sales are all sales, as the MMs vary between 8p and 8.15p.
From last nights 8p they are paying sellers 8.125 for stock , if they are sales. Why would they pay sellers more this morning? It is time for the MMs to say if a trade is a sale of buy and it is then published so everyone instead of them having to guess which it is because both buys and sales are below the mid price.
So we tried a dummy purchase and was quoted 8.09p to buy. This appears to indicate we are correct in our thoughts and all trades (most of todays) above 8p are purchases and only 8p (two of them) are in fact sellers.
We are also at the top of a massive everything bubble, potential investors might want to wait for signal to buy, even if it means missing the bottom rather than being tied up for 6 moths (opportunity cost).....or a gazillion years as is the case here.
I took a few more this morning....no point waiting for that Ed lad buying shares, and eml.l is busy after all

I’d agree, except with one small detail ‘ furloughed gamblers back to work’....none closes their paddy power account.
Is it that time of the month?
Fair stink luckorange
South West news coming soon I think
Too many companies fighting for the same money too, those that keep shareholders updated on a regular basis do well.
ffwd need to at least do a presentation on the recent EGR rns .
A lot of macro noise about a crash being imminent means a lot sit on the sidelines with cash and are prepared to pay 20% more (mm's usually mark them up by that much on good news)
Spreadbetting companies taken the big gamblers out of the equation , furloughed gamblers back to work, sell in May, could be many reasons.
Hard to keep up with the ffwd investments and how that relates to the company sp.
Reasons for holding ffwd , they have money in the bank , CEO has pledged to buy shares once he is out of a close period . Seemingly the investee companies are starting to wake up and the Alfredo Pascual appointment is there to move it forward in the growth space (puns unintended).
8p seems to be the bottom so it is a matter of waiting for the company to actually keep shareholders informed , who knows they may decide to do it one day eh?
People also often sell if they have another stock in their portfolio and they believe its about to multi bag too, but feel it’s going to come sooner, so they gamble on switching some or all, possibly to enter back in again. Also I believe there will be a lot of people that have averaged down, but are leveraged up and waiting to get out the over exposed portion
AIM attracts gamblers. A lot of people here are high risk taking individuals hooked on the sure thing bug.
Also times are hard.
It's fascinating to see people sell at this point. It's cool of course and people should do what they think is right. But with the head of FFWD news being built up, I'd find it really hard to justify a sale of my holding except for the following: a - I need the money to pay an urgent bill and can't afford to hold anymore. or b- I am a LTH and just plain bored here. My friend has just tipped me off about a sure thing at the 3.30 at Haymarket. or c - I don't know what I'm doing really and am panicking a bit. or d- I have moral objections to cannabis and so can no longer hold or e - ? Grateful for views from other posters about what (e) could be. Thanks in advance.

Indeed and why I bought some Portage this afternoon.
Pirateflag
Not one of their best decisions....or to rephrase; another one of their balls ups
FFWD sold Portage at an average of $17. Still comfortably higher than that now at around $26.
sure they sold out around 20 bucks, i have no worries holding Portage, as you know there doing a 1 million ordinary shares public offering at 23 dollars per share, shouldn't take long to rebound, just bought a few more, i wonder if FFWD got out yesterday ?
Don't worry Mat.. Those chaps who are far cleverer than us ( who scoffed when I sold 1k at 35 ), have said they knew this was going to happen...LOL....Yet they didn't sell at 40 and buy back nearly twice as many...they must not be that clever then
I WILL BUY SOME AT 15 DOLLARS AND FEED THEM AND BATHE THEM AND TAKE THEM FOR WALKS .
THEN WHEN THEY REACH 30 DOLLARS I WILL SELL THEM AND BUY SOME COUPONS FOR FLAMINGO LAND AND TAKE YOU ALL OUT ON A SPECIAL DAY TRIP
Did we learn at what price we sold half our Portage shares at? Can we now buy them back more cheaply?
Feck it I took some....higher than the offer so perhaps should have waited
yes. Take a look at Portage pre market.
says it all
