Pianista - think the bb will continue, sure it has with other companies that have fell by the wayside.

You could look back on the CLLN fairly sure they set up an action group.i'll guess it's probably still running.

It's often the case when ex holders of shares sell out for a loss their frustration gets the better of them .

They regret their decision to buy in then sell out at a loss.

Even more so they detest the situation where a day trader and later pop in for a few days, make a trade and claims 10% return.

At this price with the tight spread that is possible on almost any decent up day in this one's sp

For ex holders with actual losses this becomes an obsession, and they post daily, on these bb's, Hoping upon hope that no day trader can make a few quid when they failed to do so.

I see it regularly on several bb's - they start to hate the company and their lives seem consumed with searching out reasons for doom and gloom posts.

It's the road to insanity.

Like a bad divorce where someone can't move on in life.

I'm not invested here, but having bought and sold shares since 1980, I've lost on a few trades over the years, but you dust yourself down and get on with things.

Oppessive ex holders will never give it up, with DEB they hope to be able to post a "I told you so" message - maybe that will be the case maybe not. But it won't change their actual loss.

Life is short some you win some you lose.

We all have the same three choices - buy, sell or hold. It's up to each individual to make up their own minds.

Pianists - think this BB will continue, after all the CLLN bb is still up and running and it's demise was about a year sgo.

I remember all the angst over there. Many frustrated pi's, the bod even had to face a select committee, made great TV viewing. Dont think it helped any pi's though, apart from the pleasure of seeing the bod having to answer difficult questions.

RRR - an observation - you ramp angs daily with one liners - and the sp responds by falling daily.

I just did a dummy buy and got offered sub 5p.

Maybe if you laid off the ramps and leave the bod to sort out the operational challenge's perhaps the tide will turn.

It will require a little patience I suspect, perhaps you should sit on your hands for a little while.

You have given this BB your sell out price at 10p, all are aware of your position.

I'm guessing that there will be some positive operational news before the finals and the agm

Daily or even hourly checking of the sp is the road to insanity my friend.

It is what it is and will be what it will be. All have the same choices - buy sell or hold - and wait for news.

Yep it opened on Monday at 5.88p I believe.

The Monday trade low was 5.27p at 12.45pm

It closed at 5.5p.

All figures curtosy of H & L.

Riskreepreward - you say your £5k top up on Friday dropped your average to 5p, when you more than doubled your holding.

But you started ramping with the sp at 8 - 9p in mid Jan.

I can see how £5k at Friday's price can you get you £10k at 10p so a £5k profit on that trade.

But I'm struggling with the maths to see how your early smaller volume buy in in mid Jan at the higher buy in price achieves the other min. £5k profit you need at 10p to get to your five figure bag ( ie min. £10000 ) you quote in your post today at 14.18.

Impressive that you managed to drag your average down to 5p.

You must be really have doubled down or tripled down to get to that position from your earlier buy in at circa 8 - 9 p - in mid Jan.

I see you mentioned on Thurs Eve 22.41 that you were thinking of putting a few £k's on Friday morning.

I was on a flight from 7 am on Friday so couldn't check any movements till mid-day.

I notice that the trade low was 4.8p. according to H&L not sure how long it dropped below the 5p mark though.

So you are down on your 2 trades here recently overall.

But 10p gives you a tidy return.

What's your average ATM and would you put any more in if the sp drifted downwards in the short term should there be a lack of any early positive news in say the next 6 to 8 weeks.

That is before the annual accounts are published early March.

Riskreepreward - nothing wrong with trading aim shares.

You mentioned in your post on the10th Jan that you were glad you had sold out previously with a £500 profit. When you posted on the 10th that was in response to the sp dropping back to 9p. The headed your post "ouch".

A few days later you got all rampy again, many many daily one line upward share predictions.

So I am guessing you bought back in on the fall somewhere between 8 - 9 p.

You state you are you going to bag a £10k + profit if the sp rises to 10p - how many shares did you buy in Jan ?

You are actually sitting on a loss at the moment then, with the sp down at present levels, no wonder you're ramping insanely 3/4 times a day !

I've no problem with that, nor your trading strategy, however it would be cool if you could put some substance to your posts lol

I speak as another day trader looking for a quick bag. But not one that posts incessantly, as I feel that shows a certain amount of anxiety my friend.

With today's drop - looking at the bid, and spread - is there anyone holding a single AST share at a paper profit ?

Watched the latest interview, I'd urge caution - CH's lips are moving again.

Without permits AST is going to nowhere.

With the amount of cash available, what additional projects can be considered ?

It reminds me of the episode of fools and horses where Rodney and Mickey Pearce were going into invest in the self catering holiday trade, with a coup!e hundred nicker. Grandad's comment - "what you got Rodney a Wendy house"

Great TV.

Not invested here but hoping that pi's win out against the "shorter ODEY"

Hopefully history will repeat itself, when he shorted TLW during 2017, I was holding there as he helped drag it down on the oil price worries, he hugely shorted its shares.

I was looking at a reasonable paper loss in the summer of 2017, and I decided to increase my holding big time by picking up a much larger holding on TLW at £1.58 on the 17th Aug 2017. I still hold today and remain in profit.

Despite sitting on a profit ODEY didn't close his short, greed i guess, the sp there rose and he had to close his short into the TLW recovery, although its fallen since back from its high of £2.70, ODEY was well and truely caught out and cost his investors big time on that short.

Shorters don't always win, I watch DEB with interest, hoping for a similar outcome

Tiger - you must do what you feel is right for your trading strategy.

We all trade differently that's what makes share buying and selling so much fun, though its always wise not to make any emotional decisions.

Btw - i'm guessing you were holding Flyb shares on the 11th - when the Connect offer was announced, i think i enquired in a previous post as to what your average was? Did you decide to sell on the news ? Or have you picked up more shares in the last few day, as it seems traders are having a fine old time over on flyb atm.

Volcano - I agree so many exciting things happening with Southend Airport and Stobart Energy, i for one am looking forward to the capital review.

I notice several flyb posters, suggesting that any move to attempt to block the deal (even if its possible ), could and probably, lead to administration, with all that administration would entail.

As it stands shareholders, are always at the back of the queue, taking potentially the biggest risk for hopefully the higher return in the form of dividends and share price growth, but not always !!

One poster over on the flyb bb, suggested that the FCA group, looking to create a case for a legal challenge, to block the deal which would likely take flyb into administration is like Turkeys voting for Xmas !!

I'm no expert here, so which post no predictions.

Interesting times for all.

its reported on the flyb bb that Richard Branson and his team completed a visit ti the flybe HQ yesterday to advise on ongoing rescue plans fir the trouble company. this is not something i have confirmed personally, but it is raising concern with the flyb pi's, who remain angry that the £100m + connect rescue deal, is weighted towards the costs of future restructuring, staff, customers and the pension scheme at flyb, and not to the benefit of shareholders.

they feel the speed of the potential collapse of flyb caught them unawares, and blame the flyb bod for wrong doing, i guess this will be looked at as time progresses.

the flyb sp fell to sub 9p, following the for sale announcement in nov, and would probably have fallen further had it not been for a team of ramping posters hyping up a value of its sp.

there are suggestions that the connect deal may be blocked which may have the effect of pushing flyb into administration, probably causing even more job losses.

no doubt in the fullness of time it will be clear whether £100m + represents good value for the challenges ahead, in the meantime i expect we will receive visit to this bb from disgruntled flyb pi's, which i guess is to be expected.

interesting times !

stock you cried like a baby to admin back in the summer, when we disagreed, did you not !

shed - i posted in aug and sept stating my view on permits.

way before the minister intervention.

of course my position did not sit well with those wearing rose tinted glasses. i survived attempts to have my posts removed, with complaints to admin.

i only post occasionally here now, but read the bb daily.

am i smug - well no not really, just genuinely disappointed.

anyone who sold out at 1.17p could now buy back in 4x + the same number of shares sold if they now felt +ve for the future here.

bb's are for debate, too often only one view is allowed, on these aim shares, balance is required.

those poo poo'd are entitled to remind others to reflect on previous posts.

stockdale - do you recall our debate after the b. s . conference call in aug.

i suggested that the few that sold on the spike of 1.17p may be proved right.

gosh i took some flack over that weekend and the coming days.

looking at the sell price today, it seems that every pi holding shares is sitting on a paper loss atm.

i expect the finals when published at Apl end will be be a crushing read.

With the small amount of actual free cash in the bank account, together with the dismal placing, CH has little funds to play with.

it's purely down to permits, now for AST.

Am not a holder here, but thought i'd put forward a way forward for Landlords, of these large dept stores.

The high street is changing, and though I'm sure there were many challenges, in Plymouth the owners of the old Derrys Cross building, which used to have a dept store ( the co op ) based on 5 floors, took the decision, to convert the store into 500 Student let pods and 110 hotel rooms, together with 7 retail units at street level, coffee shops etc.

I've copied the link below :

https://www.ehagroup.co.uk/project/derrys-plymouth/

Hope it works anyway its being seen as a great solution to re generate that particular part of Plymouth City Centre, and may be an option for other University cites.

Perhaps this could be a way forward to reduce the overall square footage presently used by retail, whilst also re generating the high street.

Tiger - Surely as i mentioned yesterday - the FCA group over on Flyb is hoping to link with Hosking, therefore that surely puts both the PI's and Hosking in the other camp from Tinker, after all he was scooping up the shares sold by pi's after the sale to Connect was announced wasn't he ?

I am also wondering how Hosking will be explaining to their investors that they though it prudent to hold on to 19% of Flyb when for many years financial RNS showed the headwinds it was facing. If i had funds with them i'd definitely be looking to pull out my investment ! Very embarrassing or them no doubt.

Maybe Hoskings were looking for a 3 bag, like many of the rampers that bought in over in Nov Dec and early Jan !

Tinker should do well with his remaining STOB holding.

I continue to read the flyb bb its making very interesting reading probably one of the best bb's on here atm imv, many interesting theories. Prob the best read since CLLN this time last year.

I see many of the rampers, who pushed and hyped the Flyb sp from its low of 9p, in Nov. are now crying fowl play, what they can't hide is there posting history though. There are 5/6 posters in particular that insulted mocked and poo poo'd a number of posters who urged caution as the position played out.

Surely a few before and after cut and pastes over there on the flyb bb might help highlight the dangers of following ramping hyped posts, for those that got dragged in. But i guess people only want to hear posts that suit their agenda.

Over on flyb posters seem to be puerly focused on the 1p per share over - its part of a £100m rescue package is it not ? Maybe they have forgotten how much will actually be required to develop of the profitable areas of Flyb and, to wind down those areas losing money.

I remain relaxed, if the Connect t/o goes through there are lots of decisions to be undertaken. If there has been any underhand play by the flbe bod, then time will tell.

We live in interesting times.
