Recent MXCP sells, see corresponding RNS from MXCP
The 164k trade at 16:01 looks like a buy to me, not a sell. That shows confidence.
Thanks 2cv. Maybe it really is that simple. If I have a few hundred K to spare I'll try placing a huge limit order and see what happens :-) I thought maybe they were trading in some dark pool somewhere, although I didn't think companies this size were available in dark pools. Anyway, just curious.
No, the MXCP and director buys are a very good sign. The bad sign is that their buys are below the sell price, thus dragging the SP down. I'd say the deeper problems are within AIM's trading mechanisms, not the company.
I was hoping that someone with more knowledge of the internal workings of AIM could explain how MXCP, the CEO, directors, relatives and friends can all trade at favourable prices compared to everyone else. I wouldn't classify this as whinging, but perfectly justified curiosity. Since the value of my investment has been falling I'd like to know why, when the fundamentals tell me that the opposite should be happening. Oh well. Just to make my position clear, I'm an LTH and believe that by the end of 2017 the SP will be significantly higher than it is now. So don't put me in the same group as the shorters/derampers.
True, but back in 2015 the trading update didn't arrive until 17 Feb, so maybe this year we'll have to wait a few more weeks. (I hope not)
Yes, but how did Ian Smith get his shares for only 53p,which is below the sell price? Can I also buy below the sell price, or are the rules different for mere mortals?
Looking at this a bit more closely, the main problem is not that buys are shown as sells, but that on large trades the SP actually falls. Look at the huge sea of red in all the recent trades, I'm convinced that the large trades (more than 10k pounds) were all buys, but in nearly every case the price has done nothing but fall. Extremely frustrating. Hopefully it'll all come good eventually and that some day the SP will start to reflect the real value of the company, rather than manipulation by the MMs. I'll agree that purchases by the directors and relatives / friends is definitely very positive.
So some of those recent sells must have been buys. MMs playing with the price to make the buys look like sells. Tsk tsk. Same thing happened the other day over on TAX. There was a 2million (!) sell but based on the corresponding (TAX) RNS it must have been a buy. At least the MMs are consistent.
I don't see anything new in this article. Yes 365 has been a disaster but that bad episode is almost over now. Not much longer before 365 is either shut down or has to make an acquisition. If I remember correctly they have until end Feb. to finish this. I notice 365 mcap is under 1 million so most of the initial investment should have been written off by now. Mxcp have other investments too, not just 365, so there's plenty of scope for improvement. Besides, 365 was 2016, and that year is over. Time to look forward to the rest of 2017.
Not entirely sure what you mean by "trades get hidden" - as a non-premium user you can only see a limited number of trades, older ones are no longer visible unless you pay for the privilege. I've noticed that on the desktop web site if you click "load older trades" some hours of trades mysteriously go missing, e.g. I currently see no trades between 9:38 and 13:25. However, if you go to the mobile site m.lse.co.uk these trades are visible. Seems to be a bug on the LSE web site.
Agree. Probably won't see much movement until we get more news, and that might take a while. Maybe some new info when the final results come out (in the "post period end" section), otherwise I fear we'll have to wait until the interims in June. Oh well, prepared for the wait. Had to wait over a year before the supercap share came good. Hopefully I won't have to wait quite so long here.
Looking at the RNS the 2 million trade must have been a buy, not a sell. Maybe those other big trades were also buys. Typical AIM, huge buys and the SP goes down.
Some massive trades just gone through. Seems like someone didn't like today's news. Probably get a holding RNS soon. I was going to buy in here but I guess I'll wait just a bit longer.
You'll see more trades as a premium member, although that's not the reason I took out premium membership. The big buys are shown as 10:11 and 10:09. I assume it took a long time to fill them. Maybe that's the reason for the drop in price over the last few days?
There's an expression in German that translates roughly as "they also cook with water", i.e. they have the same resources as the rest of us and are no better than anyone else. That's exactly what I think of broker ratings.
Wow! Not much of a delay before showing, only about 20minutes. I'll never understand how these delays are set. Over on another share I noticed delayed trades of this size took 2 days to appear.
Just noticed there were some new broker ratings last week. Finncap 117 and numis 93 (!) Not that I pay too much attention to broker ratings, the previous ones weren't very accurate. I wonder where numis got that number from?
FYI, been here since the Pinnacle days. Did very well with the spike at the end of 2015 (bagged). Currently have an average of 7p. I'm an LTH, not a trader, so prepared to wait. I was very patient with the supercap share which is doing very well at the moment. Just needs patience.
OK, a bit more seriously this time. So AD4's yearly revenue is around 10m but the mcap is only 17m. Seems seriously undervalued to me.
