I think its incredibly easy to sell, it's at what price to buy back that's the difficult decision.

I'll just hold.

Svend, I'm just curious as to why American English is taking over the English language.

It's defense in American English but defence in English as a noun and defense as a verb.

It's the same with Licence and Licence, Offence and Offense.

You are an old English pirate, speaking Hollywood English?

Robdon, why use trading212 then?

I bought over 252000 yesterday morning via the Hargreaves Lansdown platform, absolutely no problem at all.

How much is using trading 212 costing you?

Lokomo, let me tell you a story.

In 2022, on the thread wasxa poster called CW1966.

Now this guy had at least 5 Nobel prizes.

He posted everyday about macro/micro economics, about geopolitics, about military startegy, about macro/micro economics, he even posted about Fed Chairman Powell's sppeches and what he really meant to say, reading between the lines.

He sold his entire Rolls-Royce holding at 82p.

Now Warren Buffett, who I suspect is more successful as an investor than you are, clearly states, "you can't time the market, it's time in the market that counts".

But, here you are.

A world famous economist, worrying about Macron's government falling and Reeves budget and making predictions based on your assumptions and hypothesing about market fall percentiles.

Make yourself a brew, dear me.

Svend, simple question.

Why the American English, you do know tge difference don't you?

https://www.dictionary.com/e/defence-vs-defense/

Svend, defence is a noun, defense is a verb.

Svend, seriously, I expect better.

How do you spell defence???

Peakdread, agree 100%.

I'd listen to a Haitian witch doctor before a chartist.

Re Dusty, he's been on filter ever since he posted that he'd spoken to his brother-in-law's wife, who is a lawyer, about something someone had said.

Seriously, discussing that?

His wife is a psychiatric nurse, really.

She'd section him.

Anyway, it's only green from now on.

Darbinator, agree 100%.

sold 9443 Rolls-Royce at £10.59p and bought 252682 Empire Metals at 39.48p ealier this morning for that very reason.

I think we'll see 80p after the MRE is analysed and digested.

Of course loads of day traders and small investors will sell, these sells will i think be bought by deeper pockets with more patience and possibly institutions.

Svend, wonderfully put.

You could write a screenplay whilst I see if Jonny Depp is up for playing you.

Go have a little dabble yourself.

timmy, i was taking the **** out of you.

why empire.

well, it's a micro exploratory mining company that has in its possession the largest titanium field in the western hemisphere, politically stable and in a very mining friendly environment.

in 10 years this will be a massive major player valued in excess of £10 billion .

that would equate to a sp of around £15.60p.

i'm holding 12925533 at an average of 7.91p.

i can wait.

it's like buying microsoft when gates was writing software in his garage.

no ifs, no whats, no maybes, this is the best investment of my lifetime and i'm still holding rolls-royce i bought at 70p.

I did Timmy, but there was no independent analysis of the field, no independent scientific analysis, no independent financial analysis, no independent sales or marketing, no independent financial analysis.

So I didn't go anywhere near it.

Jon, I've given you the tip of the 21st Century, but, I don't blog🤣🤣

Seaking, London market is closed Monday

That's why some people become astronauts and fly to the heaven's and some people are too scared to get in a lift.

At £1 billion capitalisation the SP is £1.56p is so £10 billion £15.60p and £13 billion is £20.28p.

So what's this 18,600p?

Seriously, this is worse than a driver saying he drove into a canal because his sat nav told him too.

Isn't the human being supposed to control technology not the other way round?

Mavern, I'm the same, said I'd never buy shares again, only investment trusts or ETFs for diversification and growth.

However, saw Rolls-Royce in 22 very cheap and bought in at an average of 98p, sold heaps at £8 to £11 and started buying Empire.

Holding 90000 Rolls-Royce and just under 13 million Empire.

Empire get to a capitalisation of £4 billion implying a SP of £6.25p and Rolls-Royce double to £20, then it's time to go down the Investment Trust and ETF route.

Good luck to all.

Doc who is talking about ML?

Verg, absolutely agree 100%, but there's been so much chatter from posters about index trackers having to buy in and not ONE tracker exists.

It simply shows that the average poster has no idea what they are talking about.

Of course it will highlight a derisk by inclusion in the AIM 100 and hopefully AIM 50 for even more credibility.

All this chatter about AIM100 index trackers and institutions buying into Empire.

Can anyone name 1 Unit Trust, Investment Trust or ETF that tracks the AIM100

You're in luck—I'm here with some up-to-date clarity.

AIM 100 Index Funds in the UK

Short answer: There are no index funds or ETFs in the UK that track the FTSE AIM 100 Index directly.

The FTSE AIM 100, along with other AIM-focused indices like the FTSE AIM All-Share and FTSE AIM UK 50, are maintained by FTSE Russell; however, no passive funds have been created to mirror these indices .

From commentary in the investing community:

> “there are no tracker funds or ETFs which track the AIM market. … many AIM companies are small businesses whose shares are traded infrequently and it would be difficult for a manager to buy every company.”

This highlights the practical challenges: AIM companies tend to be small-cap, less liquid, and harder to track as a bundle.

Alternatives for UK Small-Cap Exposure

While there are no direct AIM index trackers, you can still gain exposure to UK small-cap stocks via funds that encompass or overlap with AIM-listed companies:

iShares MSCI UK Small Cap UCITS ETF (LON: CUKS)

This ETF is UK-listed and focuses on small-cap companies, likely including some AIM constituents, though it doesn’t target AIM specifically .

FTSE 250 trackers (e.g., Vanguard FTSE 250 UCITS ETF, HSBC FTSE 250 Index Fund)

These track medium-sized UK companies and may share some overlap with AIM aspirations—but again, they are not AIM trackers .

*FTSE All-Share or broader UK indices **

These cover large, mid, and small-cap UK companies, offering broader market exposure. Still, the AIM component is not explicitly differentiated.

Summary Table

Goal Available Options

Track AIM 100 Index directly No such index fund or ETF exists

Exposure to AIM or small-cap UK companies Consider small-cap ETFs like iShares MSCI UK Small Cap UCITS (CUKS)

Broader UK small/mid-cap exposure FTSE 250 trackers (e.g., Vanguard, HSBC) or FTSE All-Share funds

---

Final Thoughts

No funds currently track the FTSE AIM 100 or related AIM indices directly, largely due to liquidity and structural challenges of the AIM market .

If you're interested in small-cap UK exposure, CUKS is the closest ETF available.

For broader exposure, consider trackers of the FTSE 250 or All-Share indices.

Let me know if you’d like help identifying specific UK small-cap ETFs, exploring investment vehicles with accumulating income, or narrowing down options based on fees or platform suitability!
