Everyone learns the hard way that you can't hold AIM.
In and out momentum trades are the only way to make money on it. Some may get lucky and be in just as fantastic news drops that sends it flying and bagging many times over, but most don't, and end up holding a falling stock that's spiked or are in when news lands that loses 80%+ in a second. Or suspended and delisted like here.
Flybe wasn't AIM, but it was being hyped on twitter for a big buyout sucking people in. A bit of research would have shown it was in dire straits financially and therefor any offer was likely to be low. That offer was so low though that due dil must have shown it to be practically folding.
