A lot of buying pressure here. The shares are in demand so the MMs have to raise the bid and offer not to get caught out.

It's amazing what a company like Turner Pope will say if APTA pays them money to say it!

Prospects are great at APTA, but paid-for Research Notes (in general) are usually just about worth the paper they're written on, as long as it's two-ply.

Sarah Brightman got removed by Admin Lloyd Webber?!?

Occam's Razor says that there is radio silence because there is nothing material to report.

Which has been historically true of ITX !

Bagzzz must be fairly happy because he doesn't need to pay any rent. He gets to live in your heads for free :)

I appreciate Bagzzz's posts. He's clearly a shareholder, but one with his feet on the ground. A cautious approach, imo, is generally more accurate for AIM stocks than those PIs who ramp their holdings to the moon every time there's an RNS.

Yep, algo-trading is a whole new world!

Some of it is "price discovery", i.e. testing whether other MMs are actually trading at the reported bid/offer, some is picking off small amounts left on the bid/offer to nudge the price up or down.

But unless you're also an algo-driven trader using L2 to time trades for small % gains, I would just ignore it.

It is generally good advice to ignore Buys vs Sells too. The only things that really matter are Sales Volume and then, if it's a high volume day, whether the price is going up or down. The rest is just noise.

MMs only make money when people trade, so on low volume days they will shift the bid/offer up or down by a greater margin to try to tempt or scare PIs into buying or selling. Ignore price action on low volume days. By looking at Google, or your portfolio software of choice, it might look like your share is up or (usually) down quite a bit. But if it's a low volume day, the share price isn't indicative of a real market. And this is true of most days, especially on AIM.

There are many PIs who post on message boards, daily, discussing Buys vs Sells. Most likely they are complaining that there are only Buys, or more Buys than Sells, so why hasn't the share price risen? And assuming therefore the MMs are crooked.

Ignore these people, they don't really understand what they are doing or how the market works :)

For successful trading on AIM, buy on low volume days when the price is dropped, and sell at a higher price into volume!

Freddie, chill out. There's plenty you don't know, so don't fret and don't post every single minute of the day.

It's not PIs buying and selling at these volumes, it's MMs.

Excuse the AI generated answer, but the response is correct and it's easier!

Algorithmic trading is designed to generate high volumes of trades, often causing a surge in small-sized transactions across various market caps. These automated systems, driven by AI and quantitative models, constantly monitor real-time data to execute trades based on technical indicators or price thresholds.

- Impact on Market Activity: The high volume of small trades is a direct result of algorithms designed to execute orders in smaller, faster increments.

- Small vs. Large Caps: While often associated with increased activity in mid-to-small cap stocks, these algorithms also actively trade in larger stocks.

- Mechanism: Algorithms analyze order books and trade volumes, constantly scanning for opportunities to buy or sell.

- Liquidity and Execution: These high-volume trades affect market liquidity and can influence, for better or worse, the overall price action

We have Helium (3 and 4), Hydrogen and Oil.

What's not to like?

Welcome on board! The good ship Mendell welcomes all investors with stout hearts and ice in their veins :)

No one is going to make any money while listed on the AQUIS exchange (unless MDH gets bought out), so it's in everyone's interests to get moving onto AIM. When it will happen is up for debate. The move has been "in the works" since 2024, so I wouldn't set the alarm for 7pm expecting an imminent RNS.

Chairman Nick has a few fingers in a few pies, and reminds me a bit of an East End wheeler-dealer type. 'Ere, guv, wanna buy an 'Elium company that fell off the back of a lorry? Going for a song, mate.

When the crypto fad reared up last year, Nick proposed MDH also get into crypto mining. But thankfully he's been quiet on that front since then.

I've been here for many months, and I only trust what's written in the RNSs. So, the pattern of endless delays leads me to believe there will be no end in in sight, at least in the short-term.

Other investors are more recent, or they listen to rampers on private chat groups, so they're a little more impatient, thinking the move to AIM is going to happen any day now.

The paperwork, we have been led to believe, is basically complete. And now that MDH is actually producing and bottling helium, the final is are being dotted and ts being crossed.

tl;dr your guess is as good as mine!

I added a little more today. The drop is overdone now, nicely below the placing price.

The risk/reward at 3.7p is very much to my liking :)

Totally agree with your points, RKB. Patience is needed, and not even long-term patience either, just medium-term.

The warrants give a certain amount of confidence, although I will add that the BOD can also totally re-issue more warrants for existing warrant holders if they need to move the goalposts. Their pockets get lined first, so expect some shenanigans if the June and July deadlines come and go and we're still on AQUIS.

Still sellers, but it's not RB and it's very unlikely to be the Insti that bought in recently at 30p.

Most likely to be short-term PIs who are getting impatient, or panicking that other impatient PIs are selling.

The drop is most likely, imo, correlated with the plummetting BTC price, because, again imo, I reckon most PIs think that a digital infrastructure fund is just going to be a stash of crypto.

And, imo, PIs are happier and more positive buying BTC at the peaks, than when the price has dropped 40%.

It's good to hear you chuckling again, Bagzzzy :)

Mickey, you sound nervous.

Ignore the rampers, ignore your contacts on Telegram, and just relax.

It won't happen by end of Feb, but will most likely happen at some point in the future :)

Trump is bad at capitalism. You can see it in the number of failed businesses he owned. You can see it in his 1st term as pres. And now it's clear (again) in his 2nd term.

Bad at capitalism and bad for capitalism.

Cronyism at its worst.

Good to see the awful poll numbers, Tro.

Trump has betrayed everyone (as was predicted by many) except for the billionaire oligarch class he's creating, beholden to keeping him in power.

As long as his Brown Shirts don't disrupt democracy in the mid-terms, he is cooked. Which is absolutely why the USA will no longer have free and fair elections in his lifetime.

Excellent news.

Great prospects here, certainly in the medium-term, for this well-run company.

Yes, it's time to gear ourselves up for the Annual End-of-Feb delay until End-of-April!

I've got so much jam on my toast, I've developed diabetes :)

Many of my stocks are massively down today... MKA, BOOM, AMRQ... is it really PIs panicking over the metal drop?

But... the world will still need metals and raw ingredients... i don't get that selling mentality!

His purpose isn't to be correct, it's to be disruptive, as I'm sure you well know.

Like a Russian bot farm. Constant spamming of FUD. It doesn't have to be correct. Quantity is a quality all of its own.
