Trouble is with investing in shares the value goes up and down, and AIM is the Wild West were companies can raise time and time again.. There are rules and limits, and ways around them. So makes holding a bad idea, and its been expensive learning that... So you are best selling some with the smart money, and buying back lower, but all easier said than done...
He1 is real example of the worst case....
The LTH just got slaughtered, only for the traders to 10 bag as the CEO suddenly changed tune to ramper..
He1 showed there are no limits.
The previous raise, most LTH believed a vote would be required, but the company got around that so the LTH were taken by surprise, taking a hit to their full holdings, never an open offer..
The latest raise, within a few months was announced to market 3 weeks early, so the selling started. But after initially claiming they were fully funded for the next phase, the announcement suggested the raise was a top up..So the LTH held . The company was believed to be limited ~1/3 of shares in issue as agreed at the AGM, they got around that issuing almost 3x the shares in issue at a 72% discount.. No top up, but the full amount, they had blown most of the money..
From 900m shares to over 3bn, 3p at time of announcement to 0.25p on placing.. then it x10 bagged, pumped probably
Luckily QED are nothing like that...
