Perhaps pre-digital age, signals may have been sent - hence the constant and utterly tiresome '1 code' RNS coming BS posts seen on nearly every board - bit not now.

Why would Institutional traders want their counterparts to know if they were buying or selling and lose any potential competitive advantage?
They will speak to their dealers/brokers who may sound out the market for any buy/sell trades, not each other.

Another BB myth that just won't go away, no mileage whatsoever in this (imo), especially in this day and age of enhanced market abuse rules, compliance monitoring processes (in-house and FCA), etc.
Really not worth the risk for II's.

So-called 'in the know' shysters a different matter, of course

Wonder what this may bring that could impact fortunes here.
Possibility of an online sales tax. Not sure this would be likely to dampen the demand for consumers to shop online, or the method they use to pay, but who knows.

Also, not strictly on-topic, but with the China/Alipay connection, the fast growing Chinese Shein brand would be a good one to get on board here.
China's answer to Boohoo from what it seems, although getting the likes of Boohoo or Asos on board would be a coup too.
Shein global sales at around $20bn last year, circa £250m in UK, and rising rapidly.
As well as the usual credit cards and PayPal, they accept interest free instalment payments with Klarna and Clearpay, as well as payment via Google Pay.
You would expect modern brands like all 3 to be open to new and innovative payment options with rewards being offered, particularly given the age group their products are aimed at.
Wishful thinking perhaps?

As well as COP26, we have the budget this week.
Potential green measures to be announced, and the delayed Treasury paper on zero emissions by 2050 still to be released - perhaps this will be done at one or other with a fanfare?

Not seen the last couple of Extreme E events, so will watch this later today. Like others, surprised there does not seem to have been more 'behind the scenes' type pieces, a perfect opportunity to showcase the 'green credentials of the event and how the charging works as well as other aspects on how they are 'different'.
I thought there would be a separate one at each event, but they seem to focus on the project each one is highlighting in the various locations. A bit of a shame really.

Also like many, hoping this weekend of racing will lead to some good news being released this week.

I really hope it is a shorter time too, milnrowmug, I just feel that it is the 'same old' with all of these small cap oilers.
UJO's assets are unquestionably the best propositions, but it always takes longer than anticipated to deliver (if they do), and they do tend to go off chasing the next big thing, rather than delivering on what they have to generate the cash to then look elsewhere which is highly frustrating.
Appreciate the non-abusive reply.
I am positive on the assets and happy to congratulate the bod on good news, but it has not been a smooth ride here, regardless of what some would have you believe.
And I have communicated my thoughts to DB on a couple of occasions too, so not one to idly sit on my hands.
Happy to hold for a longer timeframe, despite my issues with certain aspects, until I have reason to see otherwise.

Good luck to you

Have been invested for well over 3 years actually.
Circa 50% down thanks to the efforts of the bod failure to get things going when expected, a consolidation that has not had the desired effect, etc.
And UJO are not producing anywhere near predictions made in the last 2-3 years from their portfolio of assets, no matter what they may be producing now.
At least 2-3 years behind schedule getting assets producing, 3 (4) leaked placings along the way. and no perceivable action to plug the leak, the source of which must be known by now with so many opportunities to uncover.
And a silent bod who release the bare minimum to keep investors updated and keep things deliberately vague when they do.

But, it is just easier to call anyone with a negative opinion on certain matters a non-investor, a shorter, or trying to get a cheaper price than accept that not all is good.
Same on every other board here.

You know it is possible to positive overall in an investment, see the possibilities, BUT also have negative opinions on points of operations.
I have accepted that it will take at least another 2-3 years to recover any paper losses here, when I fully expected to be well in the money some 2 years ago.
The constant point scoring and attempts to discredit anyone seen to be on 'the other side' of the fence does no one any credit here, everyone is either ultra pro-UJO and won't have a bad word said, or ultra-anti, and won't admit to anything positive here.
No middle ground exists, or any truly rational overview of the pros/cons, apparently

No expert, but I am guessing that there are also outgoings too, so this income (lower than anticipated), is unlikely to keep UJO going for too long without further income generation, what with the additional works costs, expenses, salaries, next big thing to invest in (running before you can walk), etc.
Still some 7 months before end of year results expected, interesting to see what information is released on cashflow, if any, before then.

Presenter taking a tour of South Crofty mine as part of the program.
Short piece, but interesting to see and mentions the mine coming back to life with current drilling.
No mention of CM by name, but talk of Cornwall becoming a world leader again

Governments do not like making long term decisions though.
It is all about short-term 'wins' and clever sound bytes to get re-elected.
A radical change in mindset and policy making process needed.

Things like climate policy really need to be collaborative cross-party decisions made for the good of the Country/planet, not something used as a political football for point scoring, lecturing the masses, and posturing on the world stage.

Not really.
There is still much to do and despite progress there is still zero cash generation and no certainty of success, so the current valuation is not that surprising given the company's past history.
EA approval (imminent?) and 'tuning on the taps' (only some 14 months later than expected) with flow rates as anticipated will be the catalyst for any SP re-rate, not being advanced with a risky (and not a given) project.

The market likes certainty, and bigger fish will be happy to wait for production before investing (and pay the higher SP it brings).
We have only exceeded 1% volume on a handful of days in the last 6 months, with only 1 great volume day in the past year.
Some perspective and realism needed.

In the meantime, we need clear and regular comms from the company as each important milestone is met, whether that be RNS, tweet, IQ response, etc, as price sensitivity dictates.
Too many false dawns here in the last 2.5 years to get carried away yet.

Knowe (or anyone) will not be forward selling any shares that are not yet admitted to trading.
It is impossible.
Their fund manager, will not even reflect the newly issued shares onto their account until they are confirmed available at the custodian, so a trade cannot possibly raised.
If they do add them to their internal systems (for internal admin purposes to check the account remains in compliance with its mandate), it will be on a dummy identifier which will be 'hard blocked' to prevent an order being instructed in error. Again, the shares will only be moved over to the tradeable stock identifier when the shares are confirmed available at the custodian.

They could be placing orders on their existing position, but, as others have said, a TR1 would be needed for any small trade, so what would be the point, especially for a known long term holder and supporter of ANGS.

Forward selling of placing shares. Another BB myth

RT003,
I have been posting similar on this and other AIM boards for more than 4 years.
Still waiting anyone to provide a single shred of evidence that a PI can take out a short, or a broker that will accept one from any of these small caps.

The lack of understanding of even simple market knowledge widely available to anyone who dyor from many on these boards is staggering.
AIM is clearly a blind gamble and nothing more for many, despite how much 'research' they supposedly do.

Outright lies, myths and supposition around shorting, RNS requirements, Director dealing. MM games, manipulation, etc are the norm.
Too much emotion involved for some and not much realism, or open- mindedness in their outlook (on both sides) a lot of the time

It's (buy/sell) an indicator only. Nothing else.
All sites get exactly the same trade info at execution as per MiFID II regulation and interpret it on a best efforts basis.
Investors should not take this info as gospel as full and correct details only need to be reported to the regulator by T+1.

No one cares about direction of smaller trades only though, it is the chunky ones that matter. And high volumes.
No point complaining. It is much more complex than people realise, and not a simple 'IT fix' as many seem to think, despite the requirement being implemented to improve transparency !!

I think it is very naive to say 'no more placings' so the leak issue has gone away.
How many times has an AIM company declared that they are 'fully funded' before then raising some money for some new, too good to be true bargain addition, or an overrun to an existing program that needs more money?
Is that exactly what has happened here several times now in the past 2 years?

If there is one thing that is certain on AIM, it is the need for additional money at some point down the line.
How that will be achieved is the key, and delivery on the scale promised for so long is what is needed here to move away from these diluting and damaging fund raises.

We hear this every time it goes over 1p though.
Followed by talk over 1.5p and 2p coming this week/month, etc
I would not be at all surprised if this drops back under 1p again.
EA news and major milestones being reached on SFB will be the catalyst for a higher SP (gas prices still irrelevant at this time).
gla

I want to see orders as much as anyone else (still more than 2 months until I will judge performance on this front), but realism suggests this will not rocket to 100p plus on details of orders.
Sorry, but I just can't see a near 80% rise from current levels on news.
The 80p plus highs seem to be getting used as the benchmark for where this 'should' be at a minimum pre-sales, whereas this was a false high (imo).
Any rise will be dependent on size of orders (if figures given) and likely a smaller jump leading to more gradual increase as and when others are announced.
Just my thoughts whilst awaiting further news.

The Director buy today is a good sign too, regardless of how anyone wants to spin it, and it is NOT an indication that news cannot, or will not be forthcoming either.

Just a few short paragraphs, but some media exposure nonetheless

Typical DM ****-take article, but the gist is that the Ministry of Defence is trialling glasses which have a virtual behaviour monitoring system that tracks soldiers’ eyes – and sees whether they are fatigued, disorientated or stressed.
No details worth mentioning though.
An interesting avenue for further scope of use though

Thanks for the correction Cheekyboy2.
I didn't refer back to the actual placing RNS details, I just looked for TR1's.
Rookie error !!

Edit to my post from Fri 18:04
It should have read tat I expected a delay until 'sometime in Q1' from the Feb first gas date, and not Q3 as posted.
A simple typo, not intended to rile the likes of DrAim
