I think my concerns are strategy and communication. I felt that if there was a sound strategy in place they would not need another capital raising in 2017. If, there is a good reason then it needs to be communicated to shareholders. Having said this small cap investing is often like this, potential but shitty market makers, volatile share prices, poor company communication and small investors burned. I would like to see some dirt turned over and ore assessed so we know what we are investing in.

Good luck, as I said below 2018 should be a happier year for oil exploration.

"In 2017, Aura Energy Ltd increased its cash reserves by 734.89%, or 2.34m. Cash Flow from Financing totalled 6.79m or 138,236.25% of revenues. In addition the company used 4.25m for operations while cash used for investing totalled 25.22k." Straight cut and paste from the FT tearsheet. Now why would they suspend the shares for Capital Raising given the above? Two capital raisings in one year? Seems unlikely to me. Thoughts?

Market makers suggest more sells than buys hence sp -7% this morning.

Online gambling group GVC sells Turkish business - https://www.ft.com/content/82b7b380-bfa2-11e7-b8a3-38a6e068f464 via @FT WH worth buying as a recovery play imo. Should a bid occur that would be the icing on the cake. Should, Probable but not definite.

Online gambling group GVC sells Turkish business - https://www.ft.com/content/82b7b380-bfa2-11e7-b8a3-38a6e068f464 via @FT Suggests GVC are positioning themselves to bid. Maybe, been said before, personally see Ladbrokes as a reasonable bet in its own right. Any bid would be the icing on the cake.

Me neither but a frustrating investment!

Not sure about a bid but the sector starting to recover. SP graph for Ladbrokes since August is encouraging, a bid from another business to consolidate would be a bonus but not necessarily rocket the price.

Now if Tokyo gave the green light to Tepco firing up its reactors again that would be a sweet moment for Cameco and Uranium Fuel Prices! At present wishful thinking but with the global concern over CO2 levels one can hope hope that some sanity returns to energy policy in the USA, Japan and Europe.

I think Flybe is being quite smart. It has engaged Eastern to fly some of its small routes and earns a crust from doing little routes for bigger players itself. In the hangar at St Athan are a couple of J32s of which one I believe was involved in some daft idea to run a schedule between Anglesey and Cardiff. The route is at best a charter best operated for the Welsh Government by a third party. With UK roads so crap and some rail links like Newcastle to Birmingham so slow Flybe can make money from domestic routes. They need to stay safe, get their schedule and prices right and not cancel too many flights.

And tomorrow morning they might sell them again....buy on the news....we need hard facts.

"The 4 analysts offering 12 month price targets for The Parkmead Group plc have a median target of 80.50, with a high estimate of 111.00 and a low estimate of 35.00. The median estimate represents a 123.61% increase from the last price of 36.00." Above from the FT tearsheet and if you look at the fundamentals here as of 2015 they reckoned net asset value at 45p so why is the sp 36p? The PMG effect? Part of me says buy more but until I can work out what is going on see PMG as a hold.

Thanks, I did email them for clarification but only got an acknowledgement. So capital raising to start digging? Agree with your point re AIM.

So what caused the suspension? Good news or bad?

Any news of new reactors is good but what will shift fuel prices is a re evaluation of nuclear power by Japan, Germany and others. Asia is where new nuclear most prevalent.

One of the problems we have in investing in small cap companies is the sp volatility. You can be up and down 10% in hours, is this down to manipulation or just small trades moving the prices? I just do not know about sp volatility but I felt the fundementals looked ok and I had some understanding of the use of collagen in cosmetic procedures. Ageing population may want more collagen!.

The rise across the sector suggests the market has had some intelligence that the findings will not be draconian.

I have some concern over Trumpy and US drug prices which perhaps explains why AZ not as high as one might hope.

No, expect volatility but happy to wait a year. Would expect progress and better news in 2018.
