I have heard some say it is the Khashoggi incident putting the Saudi regime in a bad light (a great deal of BAE orders are from them). If that is all it is, then it's a great buying opportunity. I bought a few hundred this afternoon, fwiw. I suppose it could be down to.the fear of a general election and subsequent Corbyn government, which would be bad news for the defence budget, and therefore bad news for BAE. I do not believe that we will see a GE, and if we did I do not think Labour would win due to the number of Labour voters backing Brexit. Imho dyor nai

Funki, to describe Barbados as deserted outside of peak time is disingenuous. I have spent a substantial amount of 'off-peak' time there and what you say is not true.

There are tourist numbers produced, they highlight the number of visitors arriving each year and breakdown by nationality. They do not include anyone arriving via cruise ship as the figures are calculated on arrivals at the airport. While these figures would not relate to any hotel stays, it should be noted that there is a contribution to.the economy from such arrivals. It's a Google search away.

Predators, I appreciate the thoughts of those who present balance. Anyone that thought this would stay at 50p after such a sudden and drastic rise is inexperienced with AIM, to put it mildly. Having accumulated mostly in the lower single digits, of course I took half off the table in the 30s; anyone that didn't... now you know AIM. That gave me enough splash to take back my holding, top up a FTSE 100 divi stock and buy a new (2nd hand) car with insurance. That being said, I will keep a healthy chunk in case of a big RNS but as I see trading opportunities I will slice with the intention of growing my holding on dips.

I think it's a combination of things, recent IoT expo could have gained some interest, spate of high profile data breaches, non-sector followers slowly gaining insight into growth potential following gdpr, and of course there will be some chartists just following the patterns. Still holding my stock here, already on a free carry so appreciate that I may be calmer than some buying in higher than I did but I intend to hold this for around 1-3 years at least.

Let's pray for 2 blockbuster RNSes then

John Laycock takes 100k shares at 9.5p, presumably no placing in the pipeline? RNS not showing up on HL or here, displays on ADVFN though.

Nothing wrong with ASX, I think they have more credibility than AIM in certain ways.

Yes I believe it is that one (without actually following the URL) as it was called Chinese treasure iirc

Orchy, I'm afraid I don't have a link but I have been shown a copy of the full document. There is nothing new in it but it scrutinises the figures and shows that 20p is fair value today, as it stands. Any more progress would presumably add value from there. It also compares the resource to market cap ratio with industry peers and highlights a huge discrepancy in undervaluing eme in comparison NAI

20p target for value as things stand today. Cenkos say so, not me. Dyor nai

Thanks aunty. Gla!

On a day with more buys than sells. Any idea why that is?

Main tourism in BBD is UK, Canada and USA. It's a place where the rich and super rich spend winter. As such, it's hedged against currency weakness to.an extent, because the usual demographic are not as affected by such things. Not to say it won't impact, but it won't be impacted as much as, for instance, Spain or Portugal.

Fwiw I think that the current weakness is based on perception of the new 'tourism taxes' introduced by the newly elected government. This will be balanced out in time by the introduction of pro homosexual policies that attract the pink pound to.the island as a Caribbean destination that is way more welcoming to homosexual couples than many other islands. In case you don't know, the new Barbadian prime minister is a lesbian, the island has recently had its first gay pride and it's assumed that gay marriage is on the cards.

I vaguely remember an interview (either share talk or proactive investors) where CP explains that the goldbloc units are digital representation of physically vaulted gold. As such, I believe his explanation concluded, the maximum number of goldbloc units could only ever be equivalent to.the amount of gold mined historically. He went on to reiterate that in order to generate that amount of goldbloc, all gold would have to be held through Lionsgold. I take this to illustrate the notion that goldbloc is a digitally gold-backed currency, rather than an abstract cryptocurrency imho

Thank you Coopgare, I appreciate your input

There were the 2 tax rebates from hmrc and irs recently, I do not know what kind of cash requirements to expect though. Are you able to explain the water issue at all? Is it likely to be coming from one zone, or impossible to say?

I'm hoping to make it but can't be definite that I will be able to just yet.

Anything is possible but I doubt it. Too much value in Mako for that. China getting closer too.
