And enjoy a blue day for once.
They don't happen that often, and though I'm not selling up any time soon, it's still nice to see.

Yes, they're very good I find. Unless there's a technical hitch they do operate pretty smoothly. I haven;t been impressed with their lack of live prices lately, which they put down to a few limited service and people working from home due to the pandemic, which one cannot really argue with, since we're all affected that way in some form or other.

But their execution on this platform has been swift, perhaps because there are not as many trades to deal with as AIM. My only bugbear is that they can't be traded normally, as in you execute your own trades there and then and you have to leave it in the hands of the broker. But given that several alternative markets are only tradeable via the phone it's not bad.

A hundred quid to you is a lot to someone else. I too prefer a longer term approach and more patience with AIM investments, but each to their own in this game. These companies could go belly up at a moment's notice, and the ones who got out with a 'mere hundred quid profit' plus all their initial investment would be the winners, wouldn't they.

You can never crow too loudly on AIM where profit and investment strategy are concerned. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Despite all this I'm still an advocate for the long term approach. Just make sure your pick/s is/are well-funded, and sending out the right signals, keep your ear to the grapevine for signs of distress. Good luck to anyone who makes money, small or large, here.

Probably easier opening a free Fund and Share account with Hargreaves Lansdown, or an ISA with them. You can buy and sell in there, though either function isn't particularly straightforward. You have to put a fill and kill in only atm, but at least you can do it online and both my trades were executed straight away within 10 minute, last week.

Good luck.

Probably because you appear to be up at 3 am.

This board is full of children. Just calm down.

I agree, is it gonna be hair pulling like this all year?

We're only on hole 1 of about 100+!

Yes but they're not magic men.
Mining anything is very hard and very tedious at times. If you're an impatient/worrisome type, mining probably isn't the best arena to be invested in. There'll be ups and downs here, same as all miners. We don't know if this is an up or down because we have no results yet. The share price could bomb on excellent results, because this is AIM and its irrational. It could fly one afternoon on a literal nothing.

So it's best not to overthink things or you just drive yourself, and everyone else, mad.

He also indicated there was a backlog at the labs so I suppose they're at their mercy really. I always factor in 2 weeks plus whenever any claims are made in mining, lol.

Laughing emoji came out as ??.

Don't take it seriously guys. It' seither blame Rishi, Nicola, or Meghan week. :D

Red everywhere.

Lol, Meghan Markle's making the stock market go down. ??

Well I won't plug other companies on here in keeping with the spirit of the rules but the sectors I'm interested in are gold/lithium mining, alternative pharma, fintech and fuel cells. Good luck here and in any other investments you may have. :)

What's the rush?

*advantageous change, not chance.

Me personally, I've done all that jumping in and out of shares. I'm not a trader and wouldn't know where to start. So my policy has become to research and buy into 4-5 early stage companies, or companies on the cusp of seemingly advantageous chance, Then sit tight and think a year ahead at minimum.

This one will go through peaks and troughs until it morphs into a different beast and it may take time or bomb, who knows, that's the worst case scenario. So funding and mgmt are important.

I've regretted selling up companies early in the past, or being scared off, only to find them in a healthier position a year later. I consider this a growth investment and I see no major reason why the UK can't or won't open up to medicinal cannabis. And we need every bit of bounce back ideas and investment we can get.

So, even if it takes awhile, it's a sector packed with interest and potential and this company look well placed to be part of it, if all pans out. GL all.

People looLOOLed at big companies once too.

'PS. If other people don't see a problem then it's just me being too picky.'

Yeah I wouldn't worry too much. They're a tiny outfit and are at a fairly early stage. I've seen much worse presentations tbh.

When I was in GGP in a big way they produced a ton of grade A graphics and spent a lot of effort on presentations long before hitting a home run with Haveiron. Everything was about another asset, Ernest Giles, which panned out to be unviable at the time, too big and remote to get serious with. So you see the opposite can happen, a company can spend tons of time and effort on presentations and websites and still come up against a wall. Or with nothing. It doesn't matter what material format the company produces, only physical lab results will do the talking.

Those gold grades look tasty. Upgraded to 80 g/t and a return to Blue Moon pending some regulatory stuff. I'll take that.

I mean there are a few license applications across Creswick. Maybe there are other interested parties regarding other JVs, idk.

I think it more likely its just a generalisation for the layman, until something is signed off. If the current deal on the table hasn't come off so be it. But I've yet to see a company boast on a presentation that a deal was 'near completion' or all but done when it wasn't. They tend to stay neutral.

If the deal comes off, it's merely a case of amending the presentation and uploading it again.

Sorry if the link doesn't work as I'm on mobile.

Good to know alternatives to the frankly quite poorly-regulated wildwest of AIM are getting coverage. Though sadly platforms with nowhere as near as much retail footfall I suspect. A bit like selling via Ebay vs the smaller indie auction sites. You continue to stay with Ebay for the traffic even though it rips you off. The same will be true with AIM. But let's see what the future holds, that could change.

BP: Shares in Issue 20,350m.

There's probably nothing stopping VELA consolidating at some future point anyway. Huge shares in issue are totally par for the course on AIM. I wouldn't worry about it. Plenty of big spenders will snap up tons at a time on here.
