Nice update.
Should be an interesting day.
I wondered how long it would take for the first filtered comment to appear

Stnz,
You have Zegnah (or whatever their name is) making more than 1,000 posts every 30 days on the ARB board, each one a generic copy and paste ramp
Any other board is quite sane by comparison.
Good luck here

Dave,
Good work.
I always thought the requirement was to release news 'as soon as is practicable', but had never seen a specific timeline.
I had a quick look at the FCA's Principles for Business, and found the following:

Notification Requirements
FCA Handbook reference: Principle 11 (PRIN 2.1.1 R)
Anything relating to the firm of which the appropriate regulator would reasonably expect notice.
Time allowed: Appropriate

A separate search for the FCA definition of 'Appropriate' throws up nothing specific to RNS announcements that I can see, but suggests that they do see 'appropriate' as being within 48 hours (or as soon as practicable afterwards) for other FCA activities.

Plenty of time.
I guess that they could draft several versions (to be agreed by the nomad), depending on possible decisions (e.g. win, lose, defer), and just queue the relevant one for an auto 7am release when any decision is known, but they could wait and do the same during the day on Tuesday.
I suspoect if the result is likely to be known before the market opens on Tuesday that they would need to release something for 7am
Feel we will see a Tuesday RNS in any scenario

... for the posts and links this am.
Plenty of reading for a snowy Sunday afternoon

With the end of the month falling on a weekend, will we see a Funding RNS during this coming week, or on Monday week?

Can't disagree with you there, Brocal, I name-checked Ineos on a couple of occasions last year.
Will be interesting to see who throws their hat into the ring, perhaps a bidding war will ensue!
Will keep my feet on the ground though, and await what will hopefully be a pleasant, and profitable surprise.
In profit, and happy with my holding as we enter an important stage in UJO's growth

You cannot hold back news though, it is against listing rules.

To add/calrify my position here, I am expecting positive updates from the company in the run up to the HY results, and intend to make a decision on my holding based on news and progress seen up to then, with a view to perhaps reducing my holding.
News and the HY figures will be key though to any decision

I don't need to ask myself anything.
Have been invested here for a long time, happy with my holding and the long term prospects and potential SP move, and have no intention to add further.
I don't knock any share I hold (I do question aspects when required though, as any rational investor should), have never deramped, or ramped, and invest for the long term, so short term movements are of no real concern to me.

I note you haven't answered the shorting question though.

Again, Uddin, What shorters?
Where is your evidence that this is being shorted?
You have all the typical rampers language with all the standard ramping cliches seen every day on every board and the frequency of your posting is a standard giveaway too.
I suspect though that even though you have all the talk, that you really don't understand half of what you say.
This will be where it needs to be based on facts, news, results and the actions of the company,.
Your childish boom, boom comments will have zero effect, and is just a real turn-off for genine holders/investors

Don't see much evidence of derampers here, let alone them working overtime, Uddin.
Your ramping is pretty clear though.

These shorters you say are hurting, which ones are these then, do you have evidence of anyone shorting this stock, or are you just parrotting the usual rampers BS?

Tks clark.
Not sure how I missed this.
There has been an LSE glitch recently on RNS, but still.
Later report date than expected, but allows plenty of time for more news

With the HY results due sometime in the next 3 weeks, or so, there will surely be a clearer picture for investors to make a more informed decision as to the currnet situation (albeit, as at 31/12).
I was surprised we did not get an RNS this week yo notify us of when these would be released (vased on last year timings).
I will certainly be reviewing my positin here based on news in the coming weeks, and the release of the HY results

PHE were already around 8p when the placing (5.5p) was announced.
It has done very well over there to not only hold, but rise too.
I think the additionl shares were due to hit the market either on Thursday/Friday, so looking good when placees could make quick 50% plus gains. A lot of shares went to a major shareholder, so seems may be a lot in sticky hands.
A good precedent though, especially if you have a core of large investors who are supporters and are here for the long term

I think it is fair to say that, up to a point in a companies development, AIM shares are always a high risk, but imo it is not the same to say that all AIM shares are high risk.
I certainly would not consider the likes of established AIM constituents like Fevertree, ASOS, Youngs, etc to be 'high risk' now.
EQT are certainly not there yet, but there is still some risk (as there is with all shares).

For me, the biggest 'risk' to shareholders currently would be the ever-present possibility of dilution through fund-raising.
Not suggesting for a moment that this is likely anytime soon, or trying to deramp, but this is always a possibility (indeed, as it is with any listed company).
Sometimes, an opportunity comes up when a placing/fund raise is in the best interests of a company, regardless of the current position of the company.
How many times have we seen a company state that they are fully funded for the next years' operations, and then a few months later, they place for some new opportunity that has arisien?
You have to trust management to do what is best for growth (while seeing something tangible to back this up).

I am comfortable here, with perhaps a higher average than many, but the end of 2021 with all that is in the pipeline operationally this year, and expected to come to fruition, plus the likelihood of JV/partnership opportunities should put EQT on a much sounder financial footing, which in turn will open doors to better, and cheaper options for funding, if needed. We have already seen a good step in this direction with the Altair RNS.
Just my view on this - EQT will be a very different company this time next year.

Rjb,
I would ask the same as klick, as well as the reasons for investing.
If you only invested less than 3 weeks ago, what was the draw and what do you think has changed about the company in such a short space of time for you to consider altering your investment view?
Did you have a target 'exit' SP when investing?
Don't rush to make a decision (whether the SP is rising, or falling) if your investment reasons have not materially changed.
If you are just taking a chance, as you say, it doesn't sound as if you invested for the long term.
Only you can decide at the end of the day, based on your own particular circmstances - too many factors to list here.
Would you sell all, leave some in, is the money for something specific, a new investment opportunity?
Good luck whatever you decide.
I perhaps invested for similar reasons, saw an article I thought was interesting , did some research and bought in over several trades, rather than in 1 go (my preference).
I have only been here for a few months, but I invest for the long term, as trading is not for me.
Personal circumstances can change of course, just like the investment itself can change.
If you can afford it, and don't need immmediate access, you are right, it can be better than money in the bank (and also more fun, but frustrating).
Oh, and from your initial post, I do not consider myself an expert in any way, still a novice and learning despite around 25 years of investing 'experience'!

You did a lot better than Tiger 16 (oh dear), but still no cigar
Lets see what happens with both of your Monday predictions.
Good luck

The public questions on these briefings do nothing but show just how stupid the a vast majority of the general public are.
The media questions aren't much better.
Pretty pointless exercise really,

Good to see an increase in posting here, a markedly positive outlook all round, and genuine excitement for imminent news on multiple fronts.
Volumes much better today
It cannot be too long now for some news and a potential re-rate
