WIlly -agreed. Might add that despite its spin, ALRT is far from pioneering, even with its dabbling in AI with one of our police forces.

Eg from March last year

And note this comment from Altia, who say they work with every UK police force...

"For example, AI is regularly used to transcribe interviews and analyse the resulting data."

Yes, good. If that October article gets diverted again you can find it by typing the alrt ticker into the yahoo finance site, where you should find it in the historical news flow

Ok. Strange. . Try this

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/defence-holdings-plcs-lon-alrt-074650335.html

Institutional holdings have fallen even further from 7.2% to 6.12% in the last 48 hours - and their number reduced from 3 to 2.

Hell of a change from October when it was about 62%

Tom W (the shareproph editor) has just tipped ALRT as one of his sell tips for next year. He's a very knowledgeable, experienced commentator with a brilliant record for his bear calls - so ignore him at your peril.

Spreadex - but borrow availability has been intermittent, and they can mess you around by making you close your positions when you don't want to, citing low liquidity. And then a company can get suddenly suspended or delisted and you're left paying the borrow charge for ages. I made a nice 20 k killing on Tingo a couple of years ago but had to wait several months to be able to close via the US OTC market. Often a dangerous ,frustrating ride, not for widows and orphans.

Pounds btw not number of shares

Yes , I did swerv, thanks. I was still holding a circa 6k short this am ( 17 k originally), but found it all a bit nerve wracking recently.

Now I'm just stressed at the prospect of the six foot high fence panels I erected yesterday being smashed down by strong winds due in an hour. Wish I'd used concrete posts.

Good luck here, whatever you position.

I've completely closed my short position now. I think it could still go a lot lower in the coming months - I think it's still way overvalued but couldn't resist cashing in

"Project Ixian will enter its first phase of value realisation in December, marking a key milestone in its commercial rollout".

I think the wording is 100% clear. The use of the word WILL, not 'working towards' 'hoping to' 'targeting' etc."

What about the following word ENTER ? ( Rather than COMPLETE)

Entering discussions with a client about what they're looking for and what you might be able to develop and provide doesn't seem much of a milestone to me. It's so trivial no wonder they.ve felt able to flag this news way in advance.

Looks like some heavy sells from just a few traders going on over the last couple of hours . Too big for small private investors imo.

Maybe leak about an imminent fund raise?

Swanny - agree. After the further fall today I just compromised and closed half my short position. I think it could go much lower in the next few months, but too tempting not to take half my money and run!

Buried t - yes, I wouldn't stake more than 10% of my capital on shorting a small cap, but an engineered spike doesn't usually last long and sometimes offers opportunity for greater gain.

Lionel - yes that's me on advfn, and if I wanted to pretend I wasn't I wouldn't copy my posts verbatim.

What on Earth is your point? Never trusting a shorter is like never trusting a bull poster because they're 'talking their book' even when they're making quite valid points.

Wanting the delay to end so I could cash in if I wanted isn't dishonest - there was a danger I'd have been forced to close out at the suspension price and miss out on the gain.

Given some of the detail in the trading statement I decided to hold my short position yesterday

"Based on current circumstances and modelling of various scenarios, the Company expects that its existing cash and financing facilities will support its operations into 2026. "

Note "INTO "rather than trough.

That strongly implies a cash runway of under 6 months, and another fundraising attempted well before that

Although they've supposedly applied for lifting the suspension CHILL hasn't said that it was for IMMEDIATE approval, so it might be the company rather than the regulators delaying things.

The accounts have been so bad they might be trying to avoid a huge 'disorderly 'frenzy of selling when it happens - leading to another suspension.

TGR are in a roughly similar position and that seems to be the voluntary stance of their management.

I notice the net liabilities had ballooned in this latest set of accounts !!

If the FCA had formally made lifting suspension conditional on releasing these latest interim accounts the company would have been bound to tell investors.

Still, I suppose the FCA might be dragging their feet because they're not convinced it would be trading as a going concern. Not sure the company is either ! Given the big word salad they dished out again, damned irritating there was no update on the suspension.

"In the UK despite the huge drain on capital and the many hours of time wasted in having to deal with the Americans chill.com has continued to grow. "

Well the COSTS have probably grown, but they admitted that there's been no material REVENUE growth, at least for the 6 month period following the abysmal figures in the last reported accounts. Maybe they have since abut May but revenues aren't the more important metric of earnings, and they also admitted that even now they're still only striving to achieve financial stability
