As you say, losing 2nd place makes no difference to all the brand exposure that we got and people know that Seb still came 2nd really. However, poor Seb must be gutted, things just never seem to go his way...I feel really sorry for him. We're now back in 7th position and trailing a long way behind Alphatauri and Alpine. So unfair, I bet Lawrence Stroll is raging.

There's too much arguing on this site without us starting about advertising. It's happening and nothing we can do about it.
On a lighter note...with Lance at 12th on the grid with a free tyre choice, and Seb at 10th, I think we have a good chance of getting both drivers in the points this afternoon. With us just 1 point behind Alphatauri, this is a great opportunity for us to move up to 5th in the constructors championship. Enjoy the racing if you're watching it :-))

Chat...Am I missing the point I don't know? I know nothing about rap music because I don't listen to it and I'm not interested in that type of music, but I have nothing against it or the people that perform or listen to it. I haven't even listened to this hit from start to finish, all I'm saying is it's reaching out to a lot of younger people and changing the way they view our cars instead of them thinking they are just for older people. Is that such a bad thing? I try my best to treat all people the same regardless of sex, age, ethnicity, education, employment etc, providing they are not a criminal. The way I see rap music is it is just a type of music that millions of young people are into. Just like millions of young people were into punk rock and scar music back in my day, but that didnt make us all criminals.

I know some of you don't want to hear this, but this single has now gone to number 2 in the singles charts. Like it or not, an awful lot of the younger generation are viewing this video. Not my thing either, but you know what they say..."no publicity is bad publicity". As Nelladrahcir so eloquently put it...Embrace, engage and enjoy.

Great piece of work with the figures Richard. Thanks very much.

I agree that the SP could eventually go over £100 Jack, I just think it may take more than £500m EBITDA and we might need to be debt free so its going to take time. At the end of the day, that's why I'm invested though, because I see us being comparable with ferrari in the future and that includes the SP. Ferrari only sell about 10000 units a year, which we could easily get to with the new cars that are in the pipeline and our excellent marketing. F1 will bring in lots of new customers and I think the rap video by Santan Dave and Stormzy is genius for attracting new customers from the younger generations. At the moment, a big difference between ferrari and us is the average selling price of the cars, theirs being far higher, with much higher profit margins. No reason why we can't get there though...ASP will be driven up massively with mid engine cars and TM is driving efficiencies via Project Horizon which will increase profit margins. I know people get bored of me saying this, but we are on a very long road with lots of potholes along the way. But the treasure is waiting at the end of it. I'm no expert of course, these are just my honest opinions :-))

You're right Vorloch, Adeem is just a repeat of II and they should be out during this quarter. That will allow us to rise in Q4 as you say, possibly with a jump when year end figures come in. We just need to be patient. Merciaman's post was interesting too, I agree that £100 SP may be optimistic based on £500m EBITDA, but that isn't the end game, it is just Stroll's mid term target which incidentally, he will be expecting to exceed. Who knows what his targets are beyond 2025?!

Canada John. Does anybody know what's going on? I doubt it. I was discussing exactly the same thing an hour ago with my son who also holds AML shares but doesnt post on here. We think exactly what you have just said...market makers are tempting people in again and then when it rises to a certain point they'll sell a load of Adeem shares and back down we go. The trouble is we may be wrong, you may sell a chunk only to find that the SP keeps rising cos Adeem have finally sold up. We won't be selling any, too risky and too stressful but I know that many do and are very successful. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I know this video has been included before. It's not really my sort of thing though its not bad as far as rap goes lol. Let's hope it's a huge hit...it will be great advertising for the younger clientele.

I think I'll just stay as I am for now but thanks for all the advice everyone.

That's convinced me Pappalazz... I won't be transferring. They make it as difficult as they can so they can hang on to your money as long as possible. I dont have any complaints with HL though it does sound like IG provides information that unfortunately HL doesn't.

IG definitely sounds good but my holding is in an ISA with Hargreaves Lansdown and I don't want to have to start transferring it. Thanks for the info anyway.

Thanks C26. Do you have to open a share dealing account with IG before you can see the share deals?

News has already travelled far. I love this statement from TM "The business has stabilised and now it's about the growth story".

A few more good days like this when Adeem can make big sales and they will hopefully be out. Where do you see the sales going through C26? Is it a premium service or can anyone view them?

It doesn't come as any surprise that Adeem have sold some. As the price edges higher again, they'll probably sell more. At least they should be safely out before the next set of results which will let the SP rise freely.
