It's pretty poor to use mental illness as a means to mock, discredit, or abuse posters whose views you disagree with.
Post reported

The shorter is being shorted.
And has been for a long time.
Not really sure the relevance of this, tbh, unless it is to infer that Jupiter must be wrong to be shorting here, as proven by a bigger fish shorting them?
I thought all posters here were totally against shorting, full stop. Or is it ok for a bigger fish to short a smaller one, so long as the smaller fish is not Avacta?
As posted many times, the Jupiter short here is immaterial for them, miniscule compared to their AUM, and hardly significant here either. A bit of a red herring as to why the SP is not higher in some peoples' eyes, imo.
When the sales come, the SP will rise as the market can value the company on a sounder basis, and the short will be closed long before Jupiter begin to see any pain from any potential rise. And Blackrock may well still maintain their own short, or increase it further.
Others will disagree as to the significance of this (both shorts), but it is a diversion, at best for me, from the real news awaited here which is what the market is waiting for too. Tangible, bottom line enhancing news

YTSS,
Maybe not (re: not an AIM share), but the SP action is similar with other small cap stocks at the early stage of their development.
Often a quick rise mostly due to hype and expectation, then a drop back once volumes slow and revenues are not immediate, fund raises to establish and grow, etc.
TGR have already shown more than many companies at their early growth stage, and although funding is still likely in the short term, the foundations for growth, delivery and profitability look to be good here in the medium-ling term (imo).

Excellent post Shareinvestment.
Agree totally that the SP rose too high, too quickly.
Have seen it many times in AIM shares, and the sad thing is that some end up feeling 'locked in' when it inevitably drops, and some will always use the previous high as a benchmark for future rises, even though further down the line the company is in much better shape than before and may not jump massively, or multi-bag on the 'big' news like everyone expects.
Its how the markets work. Bog rise on hype and expectation, but the SP often struggles to match those highs in the short term even with confirmed growth, cashflow, etc.
Definitely a 2 year plus hold for me. In at £1, so circa 30% down, but not remotely concerned at this stage.
Great comms from management and plenty in the pipeline to be excited about for the future.
Will be adding when new funds become available
gla

More than happy with this news.
The order size, delivery date and any related SP rise today irrelevant for me as this will surely lead to more orders, as expected.
Well done AB and the team

Agree.
They would normally have a model portfolio in mind and would look to invest based on a pro-rata basis the size of funds available at launch.
There may well be some liquidity issues of course, with some smaller companies to prevent reaching full target straightaway, and perhaps they are looking to take some stakes in some private companies that will also take longer to complete. The latter is more likely, imo.
A 20% return in the near term is not to be sniffed at though, given the levels of investment to date.
Sadly, I have had to sell out here as I need funds while awaiting a property sale to complete and this holding was outside of my ISA, but will be back in once the sale proceeds are available.
I will be keeping an eye here in the meantime

Aiminvestor,
Any and all Director dealings need to be publicly declared by RNS.
Exercising warrants, buying, selling, award of shares, etc
It is impossible that the CEO is doing what you are suggesting

Fci,
No one on this board is shorting this stock.
How many times does this need to be said?
Please do some research about shorting, the majority just seem to throw it around as an insult, or to try and discredit other posters.
It is nigh on impossible for a PI to take out a short position on an AIM stock, or find a broker willing to offer this facility.
Always exceptions, of course but the widespread chat about shorting on AIM by PI's is just another BB myth
DYOR

Caravanboy,
Do you know the history here with SFB?
First gas was originally slated for end of Q4 2020 (others will try and suggest earlier) and has been moved several times since (at least 4 times, maybe more - check the RNS, presentations and IQ's), including shifting from Q4 2021 to Jan 2022, then Feb 2022.
My money is still on 'by end of Q1' being announced before this year is out, a small movement, but still another movement nonetheless.

I have Ech on filter, so no idea what they are saying, but to suggest ANGS has not had delays is ridiculous.

And, the next update will not be 'an amazing one'.
We are expecting several scheduled updates on various fronts that will be welcome, of course, but nothing that the market is not expecting to see.
Incremental rises here on news, as I posted earlier this week. If we get a couple of pieces of news, I see a consolidation (finally) over 1p going into the new year.
Any bigger rise will happen only when the company is seen to be delivering consistently, and on time. The weeks leading up to first gas more likely to see higher volumes, and actual rates will determine how far it may go.
It could be anything from 2p upwards, I would not want to predict an upper range, even based on their SFB figures, but it is ALL about delivery.

The above is based on SFB only, any positive updates elsewhere will be a bonus but for me will not add too much in the short term as the markets are interested in seeing a return in form of cashflow after a long wait.
All imo

Awaiting their promised operational update, hopefully this will lead to increased comms over the coming months as requested by many
gla

Interesting.
Didn't see this as a possible avenue for MODE.
Innovative, and a bit like a share save scheme.

Not MODE's problem, but wonder how this works for the company wrt employees and tax implications

zoom,
It is pretty clear that this share will not go ballistic, rocket, or multi-bag on any news received.
Yes, good news will see a rise, but this will take a long time to get back to anything like decent levels, purely due to the lack of trust in the market with this share, the delays and long periods of silence, and the SP decimation caused due to the leaked fund raises over the past 2 years, not to mention the accompanying dilution which has been far worse than it could have been.
Delivery is ALL that matters now, historic highs are irrelevant when trying to judge what any future SP could be.
Still more than 50% down personally, but see confirmed production levels on several fronts, at the levels shouted about by the bod in past RNS with cashflow to match for me to even get anywhere close to breakeven.
Sadly, this is never going to get to mid-cap status that the bod and die-hards here seem intent on telling everyone, unless something exceptional happens. Very unlikely, imo

It's quite clear in the RNS how investors can submit questions.
Maybe actually submit questions, rather than post them on here and decide for yourself that they will not answer them.
If you submit them and they do not answer them, then fair enough to have a moan, but to moan for the sake of it seems easier for some.
Of course they will choose to be selective with the questions they will look to answer, but, as the saying goes, if you don't ask, you don't get

EQT, like AFC rose far too high far too quickly, and the SP/MCAP seen at the start of the year was not justified, or sustainable.
It was fairly clear both here and there, imo, but that doesn't suit some posters who will also use those highs as the yardstick and a source to make an unfair comparison, or an unrealistic short term prediction.
You get the same posters on there as you do here, disgruntled mostly due to the SP action, perceived lack of action, and their buy-in price rather than what the company is doing.
They are making clear progress though and have a plan.
Just like here, it is not all about the SP, but EQT are up more than 25% in the last month, so it is easy to pick any timeframe in the past to try and make a point one way or the other, like with most stocks.

Apologies for off-topic.
From the thread title, everyone's a looser what? lol
If 'loser', then there are plenty of winners, both here and there, so the 'everyone' is another disingenuous comment.

Back to AFC, still more than 7 weeks before end of year here. Expecting positive updates, but will be holding AB to account if no delivery on his 'expected' sales
Surely some will be happier that we are back in the 60's now rather than the 50's? Or maybe not.

Jeez. Not this again
This pops up every few months on various boards.
Do some research on shorting before becoming a sheep and believing the BS continuously posted on these boards.
Disgruntled, poorly researched and greedy investors losing money on shares always put the blame on shorting, when there is little actual shorting of AIM shares - easy to check the official register for open short positions, albeit at disclosure levels -and certainly NOT by PI's.
Any petition will make ZERO difference, regardless on your individual and 'independent' thoughts on this

Saw your post on the EQT board, aandi, so had a look out of curiosity.

I would suggest the trades are cancel/rebooks of a previously reported trade.
For example, the 5m trade has the exact same time/date stamp for the positive and negative trade (08:56:25) and price (0.2005) as an earlier trade.
I can see the same for one of the 2.5m trades too.
I don't have L2 so cannot see back much further than what is shown here.

Trades can be cancelled and rebooked for any detail that is incorrect, even non-reportable fields, so could be an incorrect commission amount, booked to the wrong account, trade bring split between several accounts, or many other reasons.
My guess is a cancel and rebook of several trades for one reason or another due to the matching time stamps.

I could be wrong, but I think roll over trades would have different time stamps.
Just my thoughts.
Apologies for butting in on a board I am not invested on

26/10 RNS and October IQ answered at month end both outline an update in November with defined and detailed plans for SFB side track and commissioning schedule.
Another IQ answer noted in a recent RNS "timing of the side track is dependent on out of country machinery making safe passage into the UK. We will update as soon as we are made aware of likely timelines".
They have also noted the IQ requesting more twitter pictures to show progress.

The proof is in the pudding, of course.
I expect them to hold to these announcements/promises as we are now at the business end of SFB getting to 1st gas, and as the IQ states, the market needs confidence that all is going to plan.
Regular updates, whether by RNS, or not, is my minimum requirement between now and end of year.
Can see the SP finally breaking and holding above 1p if this happens, maybe a 10-20% upside from current levels by YE with continued good news.
GL and team well and truly in the spotlight in the coming months. Time to deliver

JustBe,
I have voiced my concerns about this issue on here several times in the past.
I have also contacted DB on 2 occasions in the last 10 months to express my concerns (and have received a reply both times).
I am still not happy about the situation, the responses given, or the events in general of the last 2 years plus here, but feel that it is pointless to keep repeating the same thing over and over.
Your message loses it's impact if this is all you do, and I feel that you lose any credibility as a 'useful' contributor on here, and one to take note of, but perhaps you do not care about that?

Have you tried emailing the company directly?
If you send a reasonably, and politely worded message to outline your concerns, I am sure DB will reply, and perhaps offer to call to discuss (without divulging any price sensitive information, of course).

Perhaps this is an option for you, rather than posting the same thing on pretty much a daily basis?
Unless, of course it is your intention just to troll this board and be no different to the dangerous rampers that you keep warning everyone about?

Perhaps, but they need to deliver on more than 1 front for the SP to make any real movement.
imo
I still fancy this is 1 year at least before hard-trodden longer term investors see their current losses being reduced significantly, even before any future raises, which are inevitable, whatever the many may say.
WN is key

It is odd, as the time and date of a reported trade cannot be altered.
It appears to be a late trade, perhaps in the after-market auction, and not a delayed trade from earlier today, or before.
The price does not look right on that basis though.
At circa 5% of today's volume, I it could also be a worked order dealt throughout the day and reported on the final 'fill' on an adv basis.
I wouldn't be surprised to see an adjustment to follow, as something does not look right based on the reported detail.
We'll maybe see next week.
Not sure it is significant though, as less than half of 1% of shares in issue

They may have no option as to when to buy/sell in their fund.
If a fund receives a large inflow (or outflow) they may breach restrictions unless it is invested (or divested) immediately to correct any restriction breach.
They are more constrained than any PI, and in any case are less concerned about entry/exit price per se than a PI will be as they tend not to invest for the short term.
Even a general rebalancing, or initiation of a position, especially for a small cap share, they will be more concerned about liquidity to complete any order, so will likely use limit orders to control their entry/exit rather than try and time any dips/peaks
