I know its a guess that previous directors have sold out and you can't base your investment strategy on that. As hopper said it's the fundamentals that count and on paper these look very good here. That's why I invested. I think the problem with this share is the actual investors. We need better investors. As positive drill results have come through we should have seen a steady rise in the SP, but instead we have had spikes and troughs. That's the problem with an AIM share where over 90% of shares are owned by small investors. We desperately need institutions on board to give some stability and if that meant a small raise I would support that. Ok that would dilute us slightly but I would prefer that over this.
I really hate all the ramping and deramping. We have had scores people on here like Stocks posting multiple times a day, ramping saying they were long term investors and now they seem to have long gone. Moved on with a nice profit, hardly daring to show up again. Fair enough I suppose, but everyone is just looking out for themselves. I don't believe anyone on here. I have a lot of money invested here and at one point had on paper a very large profit, which will be the case for many invested here. I am still in profit, but not by much. I can accept loosing profit, but will not let myself lose substantial capital even if the selling meant hurting my potential future profits. I will always sell to protect my capital. I think if people are honest a lot of people feel like this. I have been in some shares before stuck for years with large paper losses and then permanent loss , so am more cautious now. That is the real reason for a lot of people selling, as illogical as it may seem to some, with such a prize at stake.
That's also why I have mentioned several times about the sale of Leigh Creek. I know it is not the core asset of SML but if that fell through or got delayed it might mean a loss of sentiment and drop in the SP. It doesn't really take much to do that does it. I think we should get an RNS on this by tomorrow, so not long. I am keeping a very close eye on this. I can handle the SP hanging around here or even temporarily dropping to 1p but if it looked like dropping to 0.7 to 0.8p I would be rushing to the door.
Sorry for the rant. Hope it's all unnecessary.
