Starting to head in the right direction. It will not take much for this to fly once it starts properly. I have a very good feeling about this one ;-) Aberdeenman

They will have been working that trade over days, brought the price down to fill it no doubt! But I agree no one sinks in that kind of money without knowing something!!!! Price should now rise as confidence is rising. Got to remenber shells can produce spectacular returns with the right people involved. Aberdeenman

More a case of small volume. Easy to sell or buy a decent amount, so I doubt there is any liquidy issue, just the MM's making money on little volume. Needs some news here to spice things up, but I doubt that will be long! Certainly looks primed for good things. Aberdeenman

Always a difficult week this one, just before the new ISA's kick in! Aaberdeenman

Yeah they are messing around with this one big time. They look like buys to me. Aberdeenman

Haven't seen anything Panama. But I suspect even if he has cashed in warrants, that the resulting shares will not be sold on the open market. I am sure these boys have a fair inkling what is about to happen here, so will be holding! Aberdeenman

Doubt it Panama. From the Hayward appointment RNS: "There are a significant number of exciting opportunities in a variety of sectors, including natural resources, exposure to which would be highly advantageous to Red Leopard " My bet is Natural resources, given the above and the expertise of Hannam & partners. Hannam himself was once dubbed by the city as the 'king of mining' Very big hitter in Natural Resources. The deal they are pursuing is likely to be large!! "Known as the "king of mining M&A", Ian Hannam worked on nearly every major deal in natural resources over the past 10 years, from the merger of BHP and Billiton to the creation of Kazakhmys. Most recently he brought together Glencore and Xstrata in a $90bn (£56bn) deal, but Hannam also pursued JP Morgan's smaller mining activities in Afghanistan, working with the Pentagon to demonstrate the country is safe for foreign investors. The task was well-suited to the 56-year old, a former captain in the Territorial Army, where he served for 20 years. It was a pastime that lends itself to anecdotes and his PR man happily verifies a tale that Hannam parachuted into the US with an SAS unit, before travelling to New York to start the training programme at investment bank Salomon Brothers." https://www.theguardian.com/business/2012/apr/03/ian-hannam-profile-king-mining Aberdeenman

Haven't been involved with a company that has used them previously, however they look like big hitters, not usual AIM stuff... Anyone got experience of Hamman? Looks like the newsflow is picking up!! Aberdeenman

Thanks Panama. I had thought 88e would have risen earlier, but with such a large placing it will keep the price down for some weeks (IMO) Yes Panama was very interesting! Aberdeenman

Doubt that very much!! TW will never have been in, just plugging it on back of a stand at his investor show. Have a read of his MO in the link below: http://guerillainvesting.co.uk/2017/03/31/exposed-tom-winnifrith-going-jail/ As for Akers, no certainty it is him, and I suspect the warrants conversion is likely to be because news is not far away. Conversion of warrants gives the company money, and only give the holder shares instead of warrants. It does not mean an actual sale of shares. Aberdeenman

Panama, Yes Afren was one, although Hayward seemed to have been part of the good side in that he was involved in dismissing the CEO/COO, however he seems to have made mistakes, indeed the FT said in an article he lacked operational experience and that helped in Afren's demise. But given he was catapulted into the job of interim COE there seems to been several factors at play. The other one here is Chris Akers involvement. some like him some hate him. His performance at Yolo is a negative that many are unhappy about, however look at EVRH and all seems very well indeed. As I said all about risk/reward. My feeling on this is that it is all planned out, Hayward is quite a big name as is Akers, they are not here for a little return. with a shel potential can be upwards of 10 bagger all the way to xxx bagger. A lot depends on you timescales, getting in on a shell is truly ground floor. It can take a while as a RTO will be involved at some point more than likely, but price normally rises into the RTO process. All about risk and reward. Wouldn't bet the farm here but certainly worth some attention. As for Panama, I know I owe you an email!! Aberdeenman

Micmac, Cynicalbear amongst many others constantly ramp and deramp shares depending on them and their mates short or long positions. So what he says does not count for much As for TW, now he has maybe got the cash in the bank he may now be criticising this share. He is the biggest fraudster on Aim as we all know, read the article in the link http://guerillainvesting.co.uk/2017/03/31/exposed-tom-winnifrith-going-jail/ So not fussed about what either of these guys say. I am invested here, and unfortunately at CTAG, for my sins. I only post on BB's where I am invested in and don't deramp shares. Another thing, rampers do not point out risks, I have been at pains to do so here, but I feel the potential rewards far outweigh the risks. Aberdeenman

Downdutch, will email. Aberdeenman

Meant to say Panama, price at the moment is good, was above 0.4 very recently, getting back to there is an easy 30 odd percent profit! I get the feeling things are moving behind the scenes. Add in the fact that the price moves on little volume (big shareholders are not selling) means there could be some pretty big gains. There is, however, a bit of baggage but I am confident the potential rewards far outweigh the risks. Aberdeenman

Nice to see you here Panamabob Got a good feeling about this one. Can make a lot of money on shells. Exercise of warrants today only confirms to me that something happeng sooner rather than later!! Aberdeenman

As for RLH, I think things are about to start getting very interesting!! Many may not realise, but some serious money to be made here. Got a good chunk in here now. Aberdeenman

Cannot speak for MrS, but I am in it. all definitely not lost, company still going forward, but they need cash, that is the biggest short term issue. Although why cash was not managed better (why such a big team?) is a different question!! Aberdeenman

Maybe all that is left in their portfolio after CTAG delisting?? Aberdeenman

Cannot be 100% MrS One thing for sure though,Chris Akers did not get involved with his own money to 'see what happens' If I were a betting man, I would have thought a matter of weeks, not months. On the other hand I doubt it is within days. I DO expect there to be further news in the interviening period, which is why this is a good entry point IMO. As always, for those that do not know about shells, there is always a risk, but the rewards can be substantial!! Aberdeenman
