@Scott22. lol..
QFI is amazing, seen double digit spreads, its been going since the beginning of time..lol
Selling an unwanted innovative, cleaner, greener, cheaper heavy fuel oil...always gets a life-line, made lots of poor investors.
A company thats never quite made it, and that may next year seal a deal to supply their fuel to one of largest shipping companies in the world ;) Attempt number 2 , previously Maersk
I see the spread as commission, and at other times a warning...If its too high you may get robbed twice, on the initial purchase , and when you return your shares..
On AIM its not often whats shown, but can be..And can put you to a big disadvantage..
So maybe its a secret message, suggesting to avoid that company...
The advantage of AIM is you dont pay stamp duty, and with the more liquid AIM stocks the spread can be as tight as FTSE shares.. So you can keep a little more of your profit, and/or take smaller gains, after all you pay stamp duty on your investment not your profit.. £10,000, the duty is an extra £50, so on a £500 profit that amounts to 10% of your takings, and if you scrape £100...50%
You take the risk the Gov is rewarded regardless..
