False Rome was built in a day. That it wasn't is a popular myth. A bit like using private mode in a browser is how you get cheap flights
So from August 13, 1961 - 9th of October 1989 gregorio..........!
is more like c.28 yrs then and not overnight........? :()
All the best (despite you living there........! :)
WOW so much?
In many ways the East Germans and the RUsskies were always adding to making it bigger and bettter.but it did not last,on the 9th of October 1989 it down in a matter of a few days. So things can go up very quick and also come down quick, like the share prices, funny of world.
Lorna has just had a Sharing bavette with blue cheese, beef dripping wedges & ranch salad, along with a protein bar and a red bull, so we could easily be 5% up this afternoon ππ
Back to blue this afternoon? I think so π
"So, according to the dates offered by ancient historians, it took 1,229 years to build Rome"
All the best (I know, cos I've got Google.......! :()
"How long did Berlin Wall take to build?
two months
The construction of the Berlin Wall began on August 13, 1961, and it was completed in less than two months, on October 3, 1961.22 Mar 2023"
All the best (maybe the finishing touches took just shy of x2 months........! :()
That is interesting gregorio; it also happens to be the same day a my birthday! :0)
The Berlin Wall was built overnight on 13th August 1961 I know, i lived there.
Tobethebest: π π π Itβs a very tight spread, might need bigger size shorts. By the way LSE is showing βNo Shortsβ, so M& S is really the best place π ππ
I think itβs still a little cold for shorts.
HE1 climbing back up? π
Less "satire" and more "attire" Blubay ;0)
Is that meant to be satire?
There it is.
The Rome wasnβt built in a day post π
Wow look at the buys!!!
Best place for shorts is M&S
Gla time to top up!
Most of that gossip is just pure nonsense intended to make people feel good or bad about holding their shares. In theory MMs can and do influence price by raising and lowering their bid/offer for shares, but there are multiple MMs making bids/offers on each stock and they don't really operate as a cartel. HE1 trades on AIM SETSqx, which is done by MMs participating in periodic auctions through the day. Contrary to popular belief they don't employ thousands of little gnomes to sit all day and monitor the chatter on every individual share listed on the London market though. If they're not active they just widen their margin and the trade will move towards to those with more competitive prices. Some MMs will be very active in some shares when there is trading action to address, but legendary rumours about 'filling a big order' are usually nonsense. A company like HE1 has billions of shares in issue with high trading volumes and it's really not that hard to get them.
Morning Peeps.......!
Here ya go EauH2OOh.......! :)

All the best (something for the w/e poss...........! :()
Ok so whilst we wait for news, may I pick your brainsβ¦
How do Market Makers (apart from buying/ selling shares), influence the SP? I see conversations about MMs holding the SP down. How? Who sets the spread? I assume a tight spread encourages buying and a wide one selling?
Thanks
Oh, and Market Makers and primary dealers like Liberum capital avail of exemptions from FCA declaration
Ha ha yes indeed.
Will put to good use. Cheers
For example, there are zero declared short positions for HE1 currently, go figure...

OK, to back track, you can see data on declarations of short interest disclosed under the FCA's Short Selling Regulations but I think everyone agrees that many short positions evade that disclosure in various ways, or aren't covered by it.
Thanks Blubay
Earlier in the year, I was reading LSE chat on a share that topped the leaderboard in short positions. People were referencing percentages. It was an AIM share.
Will keep reading LSE chat. ADVFN is awful. Never any useful discussions. Just mud wrestling.
To be honest, one of the most reliable bellwethers on AIM is to watch the discussion forums like LSE and gauge the appearance and disappearance of obvious short trolling discussion threads ;-) Those threads just don't appear on stable shares.
