Grace, just found your message! It was buried!
Nice to read a calm(ish) post. I did enjoy the final remarks.
Plenty of frustrated people today, hopefully tomorrow things will a bit quieter after everyone has had the chance to sleep on it.
Onwards and upwards!
Agreed, that a bounce tomorrow is likely.
Why did it drop? Because it was being ramped on the promise of imminent important news.
The news did not live up to expectation, the important news is due q4.
FOMO is the curse of AIM.
I think a bounce tomorrow is on the cards, how high I don't know (we won't be at 60p though)
Good see a load of big value buys at the end of the day, yes I did see the big sell too.
The important thing is that the big buys mean that the serious buyers are still in the game and it isn't just small timers soaking up the shares averaging down.
Wow glad I sold half last week!
I am loss making on the remainder now, but not too worried
In terms of volume this is on par with many days last week and like many days last week buyers and sellers in pretty equal. value.
The only concern for me is the value of the transactions i.e. are the big boys selling large and the buys coming from a swarm if little punters averaging down.
More angry with the likes of saint-tropez who I hope will have the good sence not to post here for a while. Although I was not taken in by his nonsence I get very angry at the thought that others might have been.
Looking forward to a better tomorrow.
The drop today is not really an issue. The RNS indicated more news of substance to come in q4.
Sure the sp may drift for a couple of months, but I suspect those out of pocket today will be fine in a couple of months time.
I suspect today might be an overreaction and there will be a little bounce tomorrow.
Hopefully this will stabilise somewhere between 50 and 55p by the end of the week.
The results still look pretty good as far as I can see. The only negative health effects of note seem to be vascular in nature and as such it should be possible to adress those side effects.
I did not expect a drop today and I think it has in some way been influenced by ftse shares doing well today. We seem to do well when they do not.
The other influence is self inflicted, I note saint-tropez has been a bit sedate today.
Definately good news, but not sure its going to 10 bag today.
It seems the more significant update is coming in q4 2020.
Really pleased with the results, I would expect the sp to continue rising.
Don't see any reason to expect a drop on the back of that news so I am just going to sit back and see what happens. You probably won't hear from me again before midday! Gla
I know your pain Raf06, I was 99.9% down.
There was no way I was averaging down in 2019 as the shares were confitti and the directors not buying.
If I brought more at the last consolidation when the shares were 3.7p I would have got back all my losses and made money too, but I had been burnt too many times by VAL and assumed that first rise back in Feb/Mar was just a P&d.
However as things settled down VAL started to look more credible and I put in more cash and it has paid off if only to the extend I have clawed back some of my loss.
I will never be complacent with VAL or AIM in general, but the rise in VAL from 3.7p to now over the time it has taken to get to that level means that it is not a simple p&d.
I wouldn't recommend buying in or averaging down at these levels, but there is a good pipeline of updates to come and things have changed somewhat with change at the top.
Just looked on yahoo, they show 10% down too, pretty damn certain it didn't show that at 5pm when I last looked! As far as I am aware the lse figure above is correct and what I remember that's what yahoo showed on Friday.
I wouldn't worry, I wouldn't trade in the first half hour, almost certain to be in auction and it's unwise to panic buy or sell.
It's not certain that a RNS will land at 7 am Monday, but if it does worrying if its 4.6 or 10% down will be irrelevant.
Sensible advice Baxsterssoup. As I said earlier I derisked (or potentially handicapped myself) and as soon as I did I switched off and only looked again at 4ish.
Nothing happening till Monday when it will go up, go down, or remain at a level as such I don't see much ponit to look in on Monday (as far as I am concerned ) untill midday when the shape of day is becoming apparent.
No RNS, then the next day and the next will be the same untill the results are in.
Enjoy the weekend all and relax no ponit worrying about VAL over the weekend.
Today is definaly hard to interpret, same sort of volume as the 3 proceeding days, more or less equal numbers of buying and selling, but the wicks on the candles have been getting longer and today a dip.
I would say that there have those who took profits whilst they had them and what's left are those willing to gamble on a furher significant rise next week.
I have a foot in both camps, I sold half my holding today, very well could have handicapped my chances of recouping losses, but I feel good for having derisked a little.
Both Bown and Slater have derisked, but as they both have keep the majority of thier holdings I think there is still fair reason to belive they are confident of further gains and there is no reason to read much into them derisking.
Cheeky, the site stopped showing trades after 15:30 yesterday. Not sure why, I don't belive for a second that there were no trades after 15:30 yesterday or 16:00 today. I wouldn't think it indicates anything. I am sure there will be someone around who uses L2 who could confirm.
Hi Ricki1991, glad you are having a good experience with VAL, but I got into VAL when I was new to investing and I got burnt.
AIM is very treacherous even to experienced traders.
Admittidly the company is very differnt now, but AIM is not.
Good luck with it, but be careful not to let yourself get carried away with somebody else's enthusiasm. Golden rules, don't panic buy or sell and don't buy because of FOMO
I would say the most likely day for the 201 update is Wednesday, then today, Monday and least likely Tuesday
If we don't see one in a few mins I would guess any RNS will relate to TR1 shareholdings or price monitoring. Gla it's very exciting at the moment.
