For all it’s problems it’s still regarded as one of worlds pre-eminent brands, regarded as one of the ultimate status symbols.
It’s always been widely regarded as a ‘man thing’ although the DBX is supposed to have a big market from wealthy Asian ladies.

Although I accept that the car business is of the utmost importance and must be fixed first, who’s to say AML brand won’t expand into luxury goods, luggage like LV, aftershave like Hugo Boss, there’s a whole world out there that would be happy to buy the licensing from AML.
That really is Stroll’s world and he did the same with Michael Kors & Ralph Lauren.
The great thing about licensing deals is you don’t own them but control the quality.
Like Virgin do.

Exactly Darren, if you said your going to Tenerife, Whiteghost would say he’s going to Elevenorife.

Personally, I’ve got to admit I think Whiteghost is a fabricator of the truth, says he got left 19m, does anybody remember his bottle going before the market opened on Friday after the placing was announced, his head went.
I’ve got some friends who are well off, they have never once bragged about it they keep their business to themselves.

Whiteghost I’m not trying to get you banned at all as long as people aren’t abusive then why should they be banned, I’m asking the question that has been on my mind.
You really do have the magic touch and what a wonderful gran you had who left you all that money, you really can do no wrong, just hope you don’t ‘shoot yourself in the foot’.
Why do you switch to capitals half way through, small man syndrome perhaps’, or yes you probably are tall, dark & handsome as well!
Wow!

This guy has just left running Jaguar Landrover after being the CFO for 11years, by the pure nature of his training ‘crunching numbers’ and helping make JLR the massive company it is today, do you not agree he will have performed his own ‘due diligence’ before putting his career and reputation on the line by joining the ailing Aston Martin Lagonda!
Of course he will have pored over Stroll’s plans and feels he can aide & abet AML.

It’s a known fact that AML needed to raise money, but surely it’s better having more shares issued and money in the bank, it’s a trade off they’ve sold the shares not given them away.

And claims to have made 5m, made we should vote him on to the board.

Mom’s should have meant market makers, although I accept there’s the sett’s system to buy off.

Thought I’d play devil’s advocate here and stir a lively debate, but I think it’s worth putting out there, I stand by to be slaughtered but remember I’m just asking the question.

When mom’s make a price it’s quoted at that price in normal market size, if your buying over that amount they will want a premium to the price, and god forbid you are a seller they will bid you a hell of a lot less.

I accept it happens but you claim to buy 675,000 shares at the very, very bottom at .2802p.

I am in the doubters camp, or as Klopp would say ‘WOW’.

This is all in the cause of lively debate, plus it’s raining outside which may stop someone going ‘clay pigeons’ shooting.

The ft states ‘stay away from this wreck’, well plenty of riches have been salvaged from wrecks.

On fundamentals etc the ft are correct to say that and would advise you to buy Glaxo or AstraZeneca, and would be right to do so, fantastic companies for your pension portfolio.

But they won’t double or treble in the short term, AML may not neither.

But one it’s not a ‘wreck’, and secondly if they do turn the company round the sp reall could go double, treble in a short time.

We are in no doubt there is much work to do, many days when we wish we would have bailed out, but possibly a lifetime to regret not owning more shares!!

When a company such as AML are doing a fundraising they’re deemed to be in a closed period, thereby can’t release any price sensitive information, which could affect the price either way.

Now the fundraising is out the way they can start releasing news, and from here on in it should be positive, how can it not be given the world was in lockdown.

Obviously lockdown doesn’t mean things return to normal quickly, but the new owners didn’t want ‘normal’ back, the lockdown has presented them opportunities to raise money quickly as investors know after ‘major falls’, the markets bounce back quickly as we ‘smell’ a chance to make money from the bounce.

Also providing that there is not another spike who could argue that anyone is much worst off at the moment, providing you haven’t lost your job of course, I have many friends who are better off at the moment due to grants, bounce back loans, business interruption loans.

I believe the government handled the health side very poorly, but took care of the nation well financially.

I also accept that money has to be paid back but show me a businessman who didn’t take advantage of any of the governments funding, and I will be dubious as to if he’s telling the truth, bbl with no set up fees, 12 repayment holiday, 2.5% interest fixed, come on.

Next week VAT is expected to be reduced to 15%.

AML in there trading statement is just on the edge of completing a £20m business interruption loan.

The pandemic may have presented the greatest opportunity in post war Britain for a remarkable bounce back

Don’t fret about the next set of results in late July, it’s all in the price, be more afraid to be sitting outside of AML shares and you wake up to a RNS announcement at 7am and at 8am the price has gapped up by 20%.

Remember investing is about now trying to get the cheapest entry point, you’ll always miss it, it’s about time, give this time and one day at 7am you’ll be able to enjoy the gap up.

I looked at the way they used the Primary Bid platform to sell the shares, basically you apply for shares not knowing the price, you pay the amount you wish to commit to the process, say £10000, then when the offer is closed they tell you how many shares you have and the price, in this case 50p.
The point is the offer was snapped very quickly and massively oversubscribed, so investors from Monday will will allocated their shares, and most will be receiving partial refunds, this allows them to sell the shares if they trade at a premium from the 50p placing price, or if the sp price go’s below 50p they have funds to average down.
I believe it’s a win/win situation which will give support at 50p and build on from there.

if I’m honest I was disappointed the fundraising wasn’t a rights issue, with a rights issue you may get 2 shares for every share you hold so from a personal point of view I was gutted.
But AML announced the fundraising at 7am and then announced the funds had been raised by 10am on the same day.
It was ‘SHORT, SHARP, AGGRESSIVE and DECISIVE LEADERSHIP’ from the company, a rights issue would have hung over the sp for a week or so and possibly with the spectre of a spiking of covid19 failing or being undersubscribed which would of damaged the company immortality.
I accept it was the right action at the present time.

Anyone screaming about the debts and saying the company no longer has any validity, against the biggest crisis in peacetime AML have restructured, re-financed and like Houdini Stroll has worked his magic and pulled off several major coups.
Ok forget the Houdini but, through hard work, business acumen and maybe just a little of luck our ‘main man’, has ‘started’ transforming the company.

15,500 @ 52.8

I’m dying to buy at this level but need America to open to sell some stock, I’ll bet by the time America opens they’ll be 55p, I want to get just under 18,000 shares so am sick.

It said on or before, but they were sold within two hours and oversubscribed which could bring more buyers in to the market.

Well done!

Contrarian, they also raised £560m in or around March, regards
