Wow, another buying opportunity, ffs

I think everyone expected, me included, a bit more newsflow.
But when you think of it besides directors appointments, notifiable interests there is not going to be a lot of newsflow from the company, they can’t put out announcements saying ‘we’ve sold cars’, they’re supposed to sell cars
Also as AML gave no future guidance on figures in the last quarter due to Covid, then they don’t have to issue a ‘profits warning, nor a ‘trading statement’ saying we’re ‘ahead of expectations’, as I say they gave us no expectations.
However, we live in hope of a announcement before the 12th, you never know.

Doy, that’s what I think don’t forget it was Toto Wolff who openly advised Vettel to buy shares, they wouldn’t advise Vettel to buy if it was a bad investment, no use having a disgruntled investor who is also world ambassador for AML.

3300, let’s be honest the sp has held well in the recent climate, I do think it’s being manipulated but for good reasons, not bad.
It may be getting kept steady for a deal or to attract staff with share options, or to get the financial institutions to come on board as investors.
If the price rockets then crashes the big players will stay away.

Test, no just having a nobble.

3300, I just do it as and when I have money and don’t set limits, I use trading 212 but although it’s easy to use some trades are taking a age to do and the price could go for or against in the meantime.
I’m considering going back to a broker for when I start selling, as I will have control over the price I wish to get.
But as I’ve said I don’t want to play the price moves, obviously that’s gone against me so far, but it’s not a loss or a gain till we sell, so that’s the time to judge strategies.
I hope we all win.

3300, I agree it’s each to their own, but I’m always weary of being completely out and I don’t think the margins are worth the risk, but what do we know.

Order filled I now have 4,000,000 shares.

Exactly Crank, I’m just trying to top up 475, and it’s been pending for 10min.
I’m not holding out of bravery I just think you could miss a leap, although a hop would do.

Reading the bb this morning there’s a few holders who said they wouldn’t sell but have done so, the big move was DavidH who sold the lot, risky at this stage!
And Rox is here as his wife’s spokesperson as he is controlling her shares in AML, a risky strategy at any stage, lol

Crank I was expressing a opinion, and I think the private thing is nonsense, I said he could of put the company into administration which is perfectly legal, although immoral.
Anyway it’s caused a bit of lively debate which is the way it should be.

Crank, forget the private nonsense, if Stroll wanted the company for himself could have put the company into pre-packaged administration and bought it back immediately, happens all the time.

XLNC, they are totally separate companies, the Aston Martin deal with Racing Point is a sponsorship deal.

Crank, I said I believe there would be a further fundraising and more shares issued for that to happen, they may have already bought InvestIndustrials shares up, obviously that would lead to dilution.
Stroll owns Racing Point, and has a controlling stake in Aston Martin so at some point the question will be asked ‘which company are you acting in the best interests of’.
If they were all under one company it avoids any ‘conflict of interest’ issues the that could possibly arise.
Take the Vettel deal for example, he has signed for Racing Point but it’s supposed to be a deal partly funded by Aston Martin, where are the boundaries there?
It would be a clear strategy and it makes a lot of sense, I’m not claiming to be original in these thoughts, they were tossed around a while back.
But it does make sense.

Am sticking my neck out and reckon AML are buying Racing Point at the moment, I think Aston Martin will be doing the deal in cash plus shares, that’s why the 50p share price is important, in these deals you need to value the shares known as the ‘strike price’. In this case 50p.
Aston Martin would then ‘own’ a full works team and I believe then Toto Wolff, Andrew Newey would join the company, it may need a further fundraising which would lead to some dilution but as it’s a much bigger pie I feel the positivity and ‘hope factor’ would swallow that up.
Aston Martin would then then be a very attractive proposition, Lewis Hamilton could be the icing on the cake.

Crank, unfortunately that was a poor decision by them at the time, a IPO at £19 a share, we know it is about the mkt cap but that stunk of snobbery.

The only way we could be wrong footed on this is, it may be Geely and not Daimler we go with, with the Asian market being so lucrative what could be better than linking up with a Chinese co, again Moers might have been Stroll’s trump card in the original negotiations.

Crank, I’ve no fear of them taking it private, they would have to reward investors with a premium to the sp, put it this way would you turn down a bid of 75p a share, of course you wouldn’t.
I’d take it & roll on to another share, although I see the sp going much higher long term, but a bird in the hand, is better than two in the bush.

Without a shadow of doubt in the world this price is being held up, and held down, it’s so obvious to the fanatics on here who monitor every price movement, me inc.
But to the outside world it’s barely noticeable because it doesn’t matter to them.
The only conclusion is that there is a big deal going on and the share price forms part of the deal, if AML are putting a deal together to buy Racing Point it’s no good if the share price is vastly inflated, if we’re doing a cash plus shares deal.
The only way a deal could be financed is through either Daimler or Geely backing the deal, and they will want the sp to be a true value of the company it’s investing in.
Think about this one, why did Palmers AML prefer the Stroll consortium over Geely?
Oh yes Lawrence Stroll is worth 2bn, his other investors aren’t short neither.
Daimler is worth 40bn
Geely is worth 20bn.
Stroll’s consortium could of been squashed by either.
So we must assume Stroll was part 1 of a much bigger deal, otherwise Geely would of squashed them like a fly.
Moers walks out of Mercedes with a pat on the back and we’ll see you soon Toby.
A top executive like TM would almost certainly have been put on ‘garden leave’ in normal circumstances.
There are extraordinary circumstances appearing here and we can see it with our own eyes just by watching the sp.
I think we’re waltzing up the isle, and the wedding date is set for the 12th, possibly sooner.

Chinese auto finance rockets 400%, business must be good in China
