The SP hasn't budged from what I can see despite it being all buys (10 million + ) and not a single sale.

Some big busy as well.

SP still 0% though ...

Nice £60k+ buy for 7.7 million shares at the end of the day there by the looks of it.

Yesterday the MM dropped this 10% on opening with literally zero sells. After a few hours it recovered to sit back at 0% for the day. Yet again.

Today so far -

We have just over 10 million buys and just over 2 million sells.

8 million more buys and the SP hasn't budged. Yet again.

I know MB said yesterday that there hasn't been any manipulation from either the MM or some other nefarious agent ... but make it make sense.

Good to see some chunky buys anyway. Hopefully it continues.

Be nice is these big buys started moving the SP north again for a blue finish ....

Wonder what a JV / Field sale would do for the SP ...

Can't see any other news being able to significantly shift the SP north at the moment.

Even if someone was going to go for a takeover now, what would be the most likely best takeover SP that we could hope for?

I can honestly say that I never thought I would see us this low and especially after the news flow THAT we have had compared to years of nothing.

Still feels manipulated. Regardless of whatever and whoever is to blame for the SP ... Mike Buck needs to pull some decent RNS' out soon rather than just getting ready to kick back OUT in Singapore over winter again.

I've never known a share likes this truth be told. Beyond frustrating.

GLA ... especially to fellow LTH.

How much is the wage bill and in particular MB's wages?

What do they do all year and particularly during winter shutdown?

Why is it taking so long yet again to get a simple answer from the MG regarding the tax to be paid, if any tax at all on payments coming in to us?

Buy Volume Today = 230,580

Sell Volume Today = 17,531,698

The Share Price is showing as +0.61% up for the day.

As per normal, nothing make sense with this share.

Nearly 8% just then in real time. Makes the -5% drop this morning seem even more illogical.

Investor33 - I totally agree and remember those sudden drops and the immediate climb on the day as well. If you are using stops on the AIM for shares like this then the MMs will just see them as easy targets to hit in order to quickly hoover up shares. It isn't right that a SP can be manipulated so much ....

But hopefully the fundamentals and sentiment will soon change so much that they can't hold the SP back anymore then.

GLA

The MM dropped the SP down by over -5% to a low of 1.15p on opening today.

There was no huge wave of sells, so that drop was based on what ... ?

Now we are now currently up by nearly +4% and that's after recovering from the -5% negative at the start of the day.

I have never been 100% sold on the whole "MM manipulation" theory, but it's irrefutable that this SP is constantly being suppressed, kept down and dropped at the slightest chance there is, and then stifled from making any decent gains when the news is positive or the buy volume way outnumbers the sells.

The drops always seem to be large and exaggerated like the last 15% drop after last week's RNS. Even on that day the amount of buys eclipsed the sells.

Anyway, let's hope that today is the first time in a while that we have a blue finish after an RNS has been released, and we also see some positivity return.

GLA and especially to fellow LTH

Buy Volume = 2'907'010

Sell Volume = 294'008

Total of 2'613'002 more Buys than Sells.

SP = -1.96% down

Nothing really makes sense with this share these days.

What price per share would people be happy with for a theoretical takeover then?

I've been here since 2019 and have a substantial amount of shares, so I wouldn't like to see anything less than double figures offered regarding the SP.

10p, 15p or more per share?

Seeing Met1 go from sub 2p to up to 55p makes one wonder if MATD can do the same given the right news flow.

Hoping the SP continues to move northwards next week now anyway.

I don't think anyone thought it would still be this low given all the news we have now had.

GLA

I'd like to think MB and Co are very busy finding alternative buyers and having them ready to approach for a quick deal if PC does continue to drag this out.

I have wondered myself if the constant suppression of the SP via block selling as soon as it climbs even just a little is to facilitate a much lower takeover price for someone out there.

In fact, it's the only thing that makes sense sometimes given how low the SP is now despite us currently being in a better position than we have ever been in before, and also being so close to even more expected positive news again.

It really doesn't add up.

And the SP drops. Yet again ....

These AIM stocks are clearly very easy for the MM and powers that be to manipulate.

I suspect that the signature and confirmation of income is the only thing that will be able to break us free of their manipulation and finally let the SP go again. Frustrating, but it's another big positive for us today.

Come on MB, get those papers signed and money in the bank. Get us all out of this limbo!

GLA

Happy Xmas Y-Alam.

All the best to fellow Matadors as well. Especially fellow LTH.

Here's to 2025 hopefully bringing us some long awaited good news.

GLA

It does indeed seem that the same shares are just being juggled now.

As soon as there is a sizeable rise, like clockwork along come the sizeable sells to push the price back down again. Often in nice round numbers and sizeable blocks as well. Doesn't all quite add up as to who and what is behind doing that but we'll all just have to wait and see what the next RNS does to the SP now.

Come on MB ... give us a long awaited great RNS with zero caveats to break us all out of this limbo.

GLA

Not all RNSs have crashed the SP.

The operational update on 29th May resulted in a 39% rise in the SP on the day followed by a another 4%+ rise the next day.

From 2.92p up 5p in one day and then a high of 5.20p the next day.

This was then followed by a steady drop over the next month as the market correctly expected a raise to happen as it had done for all previous milestone RNSs.

Wether there will be the same expectation in the market for a raise if another very positive RNS like that lands next then we will have and see, but ... if the next RNS states that we have a sales deal all signed, sealed and income finally secured, then that would surely boost the SP by a lot and also mean that an imminent raise would not be needed?

We need to know much money is left from the last raise of course, but I can't see how they would have burned through that already. Plus MB needs to the SP to be a lot higher than it currently before he could dilute it again.

Plenty of RNSs due, but as always we will have to be very patient, wait and see.

Fingers crossed for a red dot one day soon and with it also a very positive RNS with zero caveats in there.

GLA

Roxy - Yup, the strategy is bang on the money for this share. We would have all made a bundle dipping in and out at the same times every year for the last 5 years or so. As mentioned, we live and learn.

Like Investor said, good for the guy who did so as well. Always best to learn from people than envy them. It's certainly something that I'll be checking on all future trades.

Investor - We are both indeed in the boat, but it's a big boat with plenty aboard by the sounds of it as hardly anyone will be in profit at the moment.

Been a hard lesson this one though and a lesson that is quite particular to the AIM as well I think.

Hopefully we'll have some cheer before XMAS soon. At this price, those with said strategy in mind and money to trade at the moment must be hovering over the Buy button as this is hopefully the very bottom of the dip now ....

GLA

Investor - You and me both! That's the problem with letting emotions get the better of us in trading. Best to just bank the profit and ignore all the noise most of the time. I'd be topping up / averaging down at this price if I had some spare at the moment, but I'm already heavily invested here and I don't want to put any more money into the AIM.

I also do still believe this will climb a lot from where it is at the moment based just on what we have been talking about.

All this is in IMHO of course. Everyone has their say, and rightly so. The next few months will reveal all anyway.

The smart money such as that guy who posted on ADVFN about the yearly movements of this share must have made a fortune over the years on Matad though without even bothering to watch the news every day about it. Just rocks up at this time of the year and waits for a decent entry. Wish I'd have realised earlier as well, but it is what it is. Live and learn.
