We had some (potential) price inflation for the exit on Friday, so would fit that this manipulation is someone entering OR shorts closing. Hard to know where the SP is actually heading at the moment!

RNS notes the 17th which also happens to be the day the SP increased to it's current trading level (from <50 before) - I'm no expert but that looks planned to me?

Shade over 57p average. Dropped from ~75p (iirc). Holding is a smaller than it was - moved a bit back to cash as a safety net and reduced exposure here a little. Not massive numbers compared to others mind!
Not planning to reduce any further and I'll be topping up again if the price drops under 50p at anypoint.

@Paul - today we've tracked the FTSE (relatively) - looking at the two side-by-side the peaks/troughs are similar. Think you spotted previous that AML did follow the FTSE just with slightly larger swings either way - it seemed to stop doing that for a period... Which got me wondering whether we've moved back into a "new norm" after the price has been held back for a few weeks? Looking at the small rises and falls now, it does seem to closely mirror what the FTSE is doing this afternoon.....

The only advice I can give is don't take advice (apart maybe from this :P). You have to do what works for you.

What reason(s) would there be for an artificial inflation of the share price?

Take it while you can - I've held out on other AIM shares for a bigger profit and ended up watching the SP nose dive again. You may well have the last laugh if you get back in at a lower price further down the line.

Cash gives you options and a profit is a profit and you still have 50% sat to accumulate.

Just my opinion. DYOR

Was thinking exactly the same today - given the control we've been under for the last few weeks I do wonder if there's someone buying in at the moment - maybe we'll get confirmation in due course. IF it is a big buyer then that can only be good news for us - can't imagine they're going to want to let go of their shares for less than they've paid for - so hopefully we have a new level (pending Q2 results)

As an aside, the tip over 57p has brought me back into the blue in AML for the first time in ages! Averaged down from 74p (with a few mistakes along the way) so hopefully we see a slow and steady upward trend from here!

Looks like it - and has be been for a few minutes now. Massive order being filled? Can anyone see?

Next week could start off strong too - if the news on the Oxford vaccine is published on Monday and is as positive as has been hinted... May well only be short lived as the economy is still screwed in the short term but could be some positive news and some small glimmer of hope!

AML has done well over the last few days - seems to be bucking the trend somewhat with everything else going red... Regret taking a small reduction earlier in the week ~50p to increase cash reserves - but at least it gives some options now if things do decide to drop here or elsewhere. Looking at what JT has said and from seeing some other companies in AIM it looks like the price is being heavily manipulated and carefully controlled here. Obviously just my opinion etc but hopefully we get a period of gradual increase rather than a rapid rise (and the inevitable pile in/profit take)

As always, just my opinion, DYOR

Hopefully not too late - good luck today - all the best and take care!!

Volume has dried up.

As much as a I love some science, from the way things have gone recently leaves on the line probably has a bigger influence on the SP than what the charts say!

Hopefully there's a steady flow and we don't end up "controlled" as we have on other occasions! Dropped back a bit now so really hoping we're not in another "manipulation" phase!

Might have to take a laptop with me then! Ha! Can't relax anyway usually so this will be a distraction

Exactly the reason I'm after something too - provide a bit of structure to deals and hopefully help work out the right time to get in and out. I've timed things badly recently and lost out of some quick wins which have turned to longer plays with increased risk!

Thanks both - ordered! Hopefully some good holiday reading sat by the pool in August!

Which book did you go for please if you don't mind me asking!

Cheers!!

Can only talk from experience over the last month or so. I'm also by no means an expert or massively experienced... Make your own mind(s) up.

As I said earlier, arrived late to the part here on the last rise and got bitten for an average of ~ 1.6. As the SP dropped over the next few weeks averaged down to ~ 0.8 with an increased holding. Still, when the prices were rock bottom around 0.45 the initial holding (before average down) was over 80% down. It sucked. A lot. However, averaging down helped a lot - increased the exposure sure but certainly helped.
Topped up a little today at just below 0.8 and again as the price increased around 1.1 - so my current average is ~ 0.88 or so. Now sat back in a loss after being a good chunk up earlier today. It sucks (yet again).

HOWEVER a loss is only a loss if you sell up - until that point you have a chance.

The fundamentals of this company haven't changed - Monday is another day - the price might go up - or it might go down, that's the risk you take. Long term, there's every chance the price will go back up again - if it keeps going down, try and keep drip feeding in to reduce your average where you can and be ready for the upside. It maybe a few months down the line - but this time you'll be a lot wiser - maybe a bit less greedy and certainly be better placed to make the most of the situation!

Made a rookie error and got in at ~ 1.6p kept faith that things would come good and rode the price all the way down to the recent lows which hurt. Managed to average down to a shade over 0.78p over the course of the last week or so and finally back into a small profit. Small holding compared to others, but in for the longer term now and happy to see things turn around.
