To The Old Bee, many thanks for opening my eyes to the AIM mkt. I can appreciate the need for MMs to sometimes maintain a price but in an actively traded stock I would think a genuine bid and ask could be established to reflect prices based on buy versus sale volumes. A day's exposure to a trading desk would be a real education.
How does a sale to buy ratio of approx 6:5 justify an 11.5 % price decline? Does price not depend on true supply / demand or am I being naive as to how prices are determined?
Buys outrade sales by 4:1 but price down over 5%.
Can anyone explain that?
Are prices not order driven?
Colour me dense perhaps but how can purchases be 4 times the number of sales and the price goes DOWN?
Trading volumes today would normally signal a run on the stock. Don't know why I'm investing.
I clearly haven't any understanding.
What am I, as an average punter missing with AJB's diving price? We had a stock WELL over £4, now it's arrived at £3.75. Appears again that investment logic is on its head.
Company is losing more 'friends' every day. Beats me!!
Buys outnumbered sales by 6:1. Price down almost 2%. How can the average punter have any belief in the basic workings of the market. If I want to sell my car and have six offers am I going to knock the price lower?
Company had excellent update and the stock thanks. Time to get rid of my few holdings. It's all in favour of the crooks running their books.
Bought 1.4million, sold 234 thousand....price dropped....does that not defy the idea of prices based on supply and demand? I'm now waiting for a day of massive selling for the price to rise!!!
Buys 436m, sold 370m, price falling like a stone. Where's the logic?
Far more shares bought than sold yet price down 43p. Pls educate me, is the price all down to a market-maker's whim rather than actual demand?
Price down 1.25% on little volume. More shares bought than sold. Is manipulation by the market makers a true market?
I reiterate my query of 4 August. Sold volume is double the number of shares purchased yet price up 76 pence. I've always believed prices were order driven. Presumably prices are determined by the market maker and not by a true bid/ask process. This is very basic stuff but would appreciate clarification. Coming from Canada I assumed London market would use an order driven system.
Stumped! 900000 shares bought. Twice that number sold. Price goes north 36p. How??
How can share price advance when twice as many shares were sold than were purchased? Logic seems to be turned on its head here!
Should this stock not qualify for suspension as clearly raiders are intentionally trying to drive down the price to panic investors and effectively rob them of a viable investment. Trading activity is so unusual that the LSE's surveillance people, I would think, would get involved, or am I being terribly naive?
