Doesn't really work does it Victor Tymers?

You go from playing the Market Maestro who understands every SP move to the poor victim at mercy of mysterious market moves from post to post.

Consistency dear boy... might improve your Pumping & Dumping game - instead of being a silly Dumpling!

I think one major reason is the reputational damage Alien have done to themselves the last few years (constant management and strategy changes with eventual comms blackout slowly until recently) as I don't know many AIM focused investors who talk well of Alien at mo if not invested and you ask them about the company - BG will need to turn that around this year and he is making more effort with more comms. RS a

Given the 'complex' nature of his positions at both WCE and UFO, the 'matrix' of ASX companies some of these execs we've seen recently and the RS connections - he'll need to convince the market that motivations for Alien shareholders ROI will be clear of any conflicts of interest. Additionally, perhaps I wonder if a lot of the hype is wearing off as WCE also didn't see a rise on the ASX after last results and more understanding of the scope/size of resource (MRE update etc.) and actual path to production (financing ability of WCE into production being it's a junior) needs to be the focus.

Saying that the Herd is oblivious usually to details such as the above, so despite higher Silver prices, been a bit disappointing as other silver related stocks seem to be benefiting - but I say 'bit' as I've got to the point of finding Alien almost farcical in last few years and not too fixated on anything but a quick profit than a long term position once the Herd hopefully pushes in.

AIM is usually about high risk/high gain and usually questionable management around the bulk of the companies, so no point in wasting any emotional energy around such positions, any investment in a company needing equity raises and financing to establish revenue is usually more guaranteed to failure than success after all. Whenever you put money into this kind of investment - it should always be with the understanding that sure you might get a multi-bagger but more likely to lose it all or make a loss in terms of odds.

Quite amusing seeing the usual Social Media and LSE P&D merchants coming in to try their usual tricks and fall flat though on a few occasions here :-))

I emailed admin and they are looking into the RNS not being relayed on their site with the data supplier as I mentioned it is also delayed or missing on other boards.

WCE only finished 6.82% up on ASX at 24 cents from 22 cents but they've done well since JV and Green tech was 8.33 not 10% plus. , hopefully a better day here as Alien hasn't really reflected the grades and silver price since the JV.

Didn't they amend that market release saying it was an error.

https://hotcopper.com.au/threads/ann-correction-to-trading-halt-request.9001219/

West Coast Silver Limited (ASX: WCE) (West Coast Silver or the Company) wishes to correct a statement made in the Request for Trading Halt made to ASX today. The announcement refers to the lifting of the trading halt “requests the trading halt to remain in place until the earlier of the Company

releasing an announcement to the market concerning the proposed capital raising”.

The statement is a drafting error and should not have been included. As per disclosed in item (a), the corrected statement is “requests the trading halt to remain in place until the earlier of the Company releasing an announcement to the market concerning the exploration results from Elizabeth Hill Project”.

For the sake of clarity, West Coast Silver is not currently conducting a capital raising. The Company will release an announcement to the market on or before Wednesday, 4 February 2026 regarding the exploration results from Elizabeth Hill Project. This ASX announcement has been authorised for release by Bruce Garlick on behalf of the Board of Directors of West Coast Silver Limited.

Typical sloppy work from the execs orbiting this ASX matrix of companies... but you work with what you get :-)

Think of the market cap as a cake or pizza.

Think of shares as slices in the cake or pizza.

Imagine a cake or pizza sliced into 100 shares.

The market price is £1 per share/slice when you buy your shares and you buy 1 share/slice.

Your portfolio says £1 for your value in that company on that day - and you own 1% of a company which has a mCap of £100 (the size of the cake overall).

The company does a raise at 90p and adds 10 slices/shares.

The cake now has 110 slices and you now only own 0.91% of the company at a value of 91p (both figures rounded up) and mCap of £100 when you multiply the SP x shares in issue, so the cake is the same size but has more slices now and your ownership percentage has decreased.

(Remember I rounded up to 2 decimal points so sums seem slightly off).

Should the market over time favour the reason for the raise such as for drilling a tenement - which then leads to great assays and these then raise the SP to £1.10, then you have benefited from the equity raise over time with a greater ROI on selling your share/s at £1.10 so a 10% increase.

So even though the cake had 10 more slices (10% more shares in issue), it has grown in size too (the mCap is now £121 vs £100 when shares were issued), and each slice is now worth more than the £1 you paid when you bought your share.

Should the opposite happen and the SP decreases under 91p then the mCap drops and so does your return if you sell your share/s.

No the ASX halt is commonplace before announcing drill results or just before capital raises etc. so stop ramping making out this is the primary reason B_Positive, although I expect good results too.

Alien being Alien and the volatile markets actually mean that we might see illogical response to even out of this world grades as we have hardly reflected the crazy silver price growth of late - so as always, anyone piling money into a junior should always consider a longer timeframe and the high risk nature of juniors than be swayed by rampers or trolls on chat boards.

DYOR and be balanced, a way to go to see any path to production yet on Alien assets, so it will be volatile ahead I imagine.

What have you called correctly moon - nothing - you missed out on the largest rise GGP has had since 2020 and then were buying Alien and silver during peak hypes, not to mention al the other dodgy stocks I've seen you posting on the last few years.

You should open up a pet shop, now that you might be good at ;-))

Hi Figes, sry was driving as getting some work done in a rental property, but it's common practice on ASX to call a trading halt Vs some indication of what results might hold, albeit I personally do expect good results from the assays.

Absolutely - trading halts are normal practice on ASX prior to releasing results, capital raises etc. as have been watching many ASX companies inc. juniors for 5 plus years now. It is to avoid speeding tickets as such with ASX queries on big speculative market moves on the stock when news is expected or rumours might be circulating.

I agree James, lots of panic from many being exhibited here,.on both sides of the ramping or trolling coin as such.

You either play this volatility or hold on based on your own thoughts about the company and market outlook, we've had an amazing rise back - this is investing for you and once again we see over the last few months no one could predict either the rise or drops with any meaningful accuracy.

Always an element of risk in volatile markets and sectors, you have to understand sentiment rules and often takes logic right out of the window for a while. Just form your strategy and decide what you're doing as best fits your needs and risk profile.

The AI guy seemed to be talking about Silver mining stocks specifically corradus.

These AI vids proliferate YouTube etc, everything from 10 best breeds of dogs to mining stocks to every topic under the sun. They are more about generating traffic and ad revenue than being 100 percent accurate or useful.

Sry should read, apparently some intend to ride the train beyond their own life journey :-)

Auto correct has gone mad on my phone of late!

@elcobbledore, no one times their buys and sells perfectly. If you are sure that the long term price will be X, then just consider what kind of range you want to buy within to manage your risk if you get things wrong.

Uncertain times mean volatile ups and downs, largely unpredictable as can be seen from the inability of anyone on either side of trolling or ramping line here or other LSE boards to actually predict short term in any useful capacity.

Longer term positions mean longer term strategies just as day trading requires discipline but the longer you hold a position in anything you also assume risk as well as opportunity.

Some of us can afford to take huge risks here as we have passive income from property etc. and other sources of money than riding everything on the markets and/or one stock and not yet heading towards old age, others need to think in less advantageous positions around their financial capability, age or life events conspiring against them.

We didn't all climb aboard the train together and we won't all be getting off at the same station, apparently some I tend to ride through trian behind their own life journey :-))

Moonie - you and your top analysts spent your meagre funds buying in at Alien during the spikes like a bunch of numpties...

@Speedy - not aimed at you mate, always regard your experience and knowledge as first class :-))

Everything is a narrative guys - whether the normal media or otherwise.

If as many of us expect this is just a correction - all good.

If not - everyone is generally back at some level of profit with the wish to secure them if they wish or fear the unknown.

One things for sure - having such a controlling, maverick and confrontational POTUS will favour higher gold prices whatever goes on alongside the other geopolitical and fiscal instability plaguing the world.

So much fear and panic still from many showing itself in various ways - it's so easy now to ensure you profit if you don't want to ride the train, just be decisive whatever you choose and use your own judgement and then afterwards - OWN it.

DYOR :-))
