Always welcome your views Alfa - it's been another odd day of trading here for you to pull the corn out of and make some sense of.

Glad we're finally getting some traction here and some blue which is long overdue. Thought this would be well in to the 20s by now, but news has been quiet. Mind you, we've had our maiden share dividend of course and some share buybacks, but the results later this month should get peoples attention soon enough. Good luck to all holders here.

I can only speak as I've found and I've always felt that JP is one of those rare MD's on AIM who actually plays with a straight bat. In fact if anything, he tends to be a tad too reliable on delivery and I think the market has perhaps taken advantage of that at times. The guy simply exudes confidence and positivity in both formal interviews and in person and during that Proactive Investors interview, I feel sure that JP was confident that news would follow - the simple truth though is that some things are out of his hands.

There's not many shares on AIM in which I'm as confident of future success as this one, but like a coiled spring, I feel sure it will break out at some point soon - when is the only question for me now and that's something that no one can make a promise on. As ever, good luck to all holders here.

Someone looks to be quietly loading up at these prices and I’m surprised this hardly moved today. Lots of positives for me here in 2019 and fancy a top up myself if it stays at these levels.

I can't believe the SP is down to these levels again.

AFC was another of those companies that I bought in to years ago in my early days of share dealing (at just 2.7p as I recall), that has simply disappointed. They seemed to have enormous potential in those early days, solid technology and a real zeal to succeed, but since its meteoric rise to 80p some years ago, AFC have just steadily dropped and dropped.

I look in from time to time as I have a soft spot for them, but it just seems to have various false dawns, slow progress in almost all areas, the promised commercialisation is always soon or next year and all managed and communicated by a truly abysmal board at the helm, who I can only imagine are trying to see who can do the best Captain Pugwash impression.

Awful and my condolences go out to all holders here who deserve so much more.

Has anyone seen this Pumped or Dumped website? LOL ... I don't get the time to comment much on these boards so was truly surprised to see me even listed, but of all the shares I've checked so far, it looks like I'm listed as 11th here on SML and 3rd on Stratex (which I truly slated towards the end of selling out, as it was abysmally run under the former regime), but I'm nowhere to be seen in the top 204 on my biggest holding BMN?

Not sure how they measure their rankings, but I've only ever offered my honest opinion on all the shares I've bought in to and I remain convinced that 2019 will be SML's year for a rerate. The SP has been truly hammered this year, but with two income streams next year and other assets developing, the fundamentals are looking good for 5p from here on in.

A truly inept and visionless non-Executive board and management, who clearly all majored in failure and shameless trough gorging, before rocking up here to share their skill set on the casino that is AIM.

I genuinely believed that Armadale had some decent assets developing here, but have since come to chalk this down as one of lifes share dealing lessons some time back now. Just feel that they’ve been poor in almost every sense - nothing really happening, the odd empty promise and statement thrown out to help smooth the way for the next cash call (to keep the lights on), then rinse and repeat. In fact, the only magic they’ve performed over the last few years has been transforming £2800 of my hard earned in to about £560, but I’m only thankful that I can laugh about it now due to successes elsewhere.

You get the impression that if this board ever do make a success of anything, it’ll only be through blind luck or accident, rather than any actual hard work, skill or game plan. They’re not dead in the water (albeit they’re doing a pretty good impression for now), but I’ll continue to look in from time to time for a laugh and to remind myself what I must continue to avoid, if I’m to continue making profits in this game.

Hopefully fellow holders will see this rise like a phoenix from the ashes one of these days, but I for one won’t be holding my breath. Good luck to all holders here.

Crazy times and as I've said before, Warren Buffet's statement is all the more appropriate here ... 'The Stock Market is a Device for Transferring Money from the Impatient to the Patient'.

Anyway, I've bought another £5k worth at 40.36 - fill ya boots.

Well I don't have enough spare/free cash in my accounts to buy 80085 shares like some of our more esteemed holders here, but I've bought another £5k worth for now with 11,647 at 42.875p.

Was rather hoping to diversify a bit more with the free cash in my accounts, but right now, I just can't think of anything else on AIM that has the short, mid and long term prospects of BMN, so if MMs want to continue playing silly b#ggers here, then I'll happily be back for more little lumps. Good luck to all holders here as ever.

Great news and hopefully this will mean we'll see the last of the trolls for a bit now, until the next upsurge is due.

Agree that this has been more than a tree shake, it’s the usual MM prolonged drop after a big rise, hoping to panic the weaker holders and make some longer term holders consider selling to buy back in cheaper, but that’s a dangerous game, as we all know that this will quickly bounce back soon enough and I for one would hate to be caught out.

Trolls out in force, many with under 10 or 20 previous posts to their name who won’t be seen again once their job is done, but all this effort for tiny sell volumes so far. Would be interesting if an RNS hit later today or tomorrow to ruin this MM game to help them buy back some cheap shares to cover their lack of shares from previous weeks.

Nothing goes up in a straight line of course, but if that large seller isn’t there to help back this, then it’s a dangerous game for the MMs too. Expect we’ll see the usual wodge of delayed trades later tonight to confuse everyone and Alfacomp will have his work cut out figuring out what’s happened today. Squeaky bum time, but we all know where this is heading ultimately and as other LTHs have said, it’s a time to sit back and remain calm.

With over 300 trades in the first hour and over 500 in the first three hours, this is looking like another record trading day in the making and I can only pity poor Alfa, who must be wondering if he’ll be developing a repetitive strain injury doing all this trading analysis.

The MM's have their work cut out too and are flapping around like a two pound fish on a hundred pound line. Yet again, they're pulling every trick in the book, flapping all ways, quickly raising and dipping the SP, increasing and reducing the spread and dropping in loads more delayed trade notifications again no doubt and all the while, demand just continues to snowball. And worse, with most LTH’s holding firm and with few (if any) warrants left to play with, the MM’s will just have to roll with it for now and wait for demand to subside a tad before they have any wriggle room. A dangerous game, especially with several key RNS's on the horizon, any of which could hit at any point soon and all yet to be properly built in to the SP.

BMN remains the best share on AIM and I'm sure most will agree that this is the best chat group by a country mile, with some of the best researched, knowledgeable and devoted posters I’ve ever seen. I’ve been here since August 2015 where I bought 90% of my holding and I can only express my sincerest gratitude to all those sharing their views and research here and for keeping the trolls at bay.

As ever, good luck to all holders here.

Come on ... which idiot or idiots are selling all these mini blocks of 100 and sub 1,000 shares in Amerisur for a quick tenner and ton a pop? Do they just love throwing money away in fees or has this share simply attracted the poorest shorters on AIM?

I've seen the odd small sale now and then on shares (which for the most part you put down to some poor soul who has accidentally pressed sell when testing the price perhaps), but there's loads here and not even the odd person claiming it to be an MM signal either. Strange.

The timing of Leigh Creek could be perfect ...

Had my eye on this one for a while now and can't help but feel that its another typical undervalued AIM share.

Anyway, I've finally dipped my toe in the water here with a £2.5k purchase this morning at just under 11.2p, but at least its showing as a buy - good luck to all holders.

Totally agree. Theres no surprises and we knew production would be down this quarter. Personally, I'm surprised the RNS referred so much to the last quarter rather than to the corresponding period last year, because whilst production may be a tad down, the price which the Vanadium is being sold at up to Q3 has increased 137% relative to the comparable period in 2017.

BMN is making money hand over fist, so Id be surprised if any long term holders would sell given all that's here and coming, other than those chancing a quick buck on any over done drop by the MM hoping to time a re-entrance at a lower price.

I for one wont be chancing it, as it will rebound quickly, but I'm sure I can find a few bob to add to my holding if any liberties are taken. No matter what happens in the first half hour of trading today, this remains just about the best investment on AIM and is only going one way and nothing ever goes up in a straight line.

I haven't seen any reports of Resilience selling, but only know that when I posed that question to John Peters in June, he was of the view that they'd sold none at that point. As you say though, just because we have confidence in SMLs future, it doesn't mean to say that Resilence might not be thinking that they can use this money and make it work harder for them in the shorter term at least, so I'd be surprised if they still retain their full holding and any shares sold can only help with liquidity here.

I've had about 700 posts removed from my history for some reason, but I remember TWIS well - a proper pump and dump merchant and not seen anything of him since, albeit I suspect he/she is under another name by now.

Has anyone else mentioned the first couple of minutes of this interview re SML today on Proactive Investors ... is this the same John Meyer predicting 35 dollars next year on Vanadium?

I’ve been here for a couple of years and still holding from my initial purchases at 0.37 and 0.27p and have had some small top ups since which have so far been less successful. Am still massively in profit though so can’t grumble, but can’t believe the SP is so low here - it should be at least 2p pending news. I remain firmly of the belief that true value will start to be seen at some point in the next 12 to 24 months and that 4 or 5p is not too far off. Happy to hold for now, as it can change quickly.
