the day traders are elsewhere today, can see this dropping back to the july range of 0.75p - 0.80p without news.

investor 112 - i notice you haven't commented on my post yesterday ( sat 16.25).

maybe you missed it !

scully - recently back on line, and caught up with your posts, i did see the pied pipers repost just confirms my view on him.

not sure how bpc will pan out, but it's a bun fight over there and the spread is too wide - tbe sp could go anywhere - not for me.

i have bbox on my watchlist, i like reit's my share of choice is rdi, have my average down to just under 35p ignoring reinvested divs, so am up - recently posted over there maybe check my thoughts on that one. i like the fact that bbox pays quarterly divs, will revisit it.

i have just asked investor 112 some interesting questions on ast.

catch up later.

investor 112 - didn't you say when you came over to the ukog bb in mid july, that you'd sold out your bpc shares at a 20% loss having bought in at the top - ( your post 12th july ).

on the ukog bb you mentioned, you held 4.25m shares on the 2nd july and that your broker had called you asking if you wanted to sell for 3.25p, your answer - NO CHANCE. ( your post 2nd july ).

i trade ukog and was in when it spiked in early july, i am pretty sure the intra day high on the 2nd july was 2.85p over there, pretty sure it never breached 3p ! happy to be proved wrong though !

i recall you spent a fair bit of time in july over on ukog ramping like mad ( your posts on 10th july where you predicted 5p then your off to bed post predicting 7p in the morning ) !

none of your predictions materialised though, by the 6th august you posted over on ukog ( cut my losses today had 3m shares bought at 2.77p sold at a huge loss can see this tanking even more ).

so with bpc you bought high and sold low, then you did the same over on ukog, it was a good call to buy into ast on the armageddon rns on the 6th aug, though.

may i ask how much did you actually lose on both bpc and ukog ?

why did you believe ukog was going to hit 7p which would have given it a mcap of circa £370m ?

all the best here with ast.

scully - you know i play on aim with up to 10% of my portfolio, but i do it looking for small gains.

sometimes i feel aim attracts people who are looking to find ways to short cut pensions savings.

one way to a half decent pension is to save say a minimum of £500 a month into a recognised pension fund for a minimum of 30 years. but for many nowadays the costs of paying off university fees, then arranging large mortgages, and bringing up a family, makes this extremely challenging.

i see to many posters, getting in too deep in aim shares often, totally all in on one share. hoping for multi bags, and quick gains. some may get lucky, many will lose their pot.

bpc looks like one of those high risk aim shares, to me. if i was playing it i would look to get in and out on a day, again for say 10%. i just could not understand why those that got in early held and held as it rose.god knows how much of their gains they have given back. they must be gutted.

so over there we have had hope, excitement, profits, gains and greed to which we can now add frustration, anger and upset and this will lead to irrational thinking, imv.

add this too the p &d's, and the day traders, and its a toxic mixture.

very easy to manipulate, with some well thought out posts.

scully - the pied piper has so far posted 23 times today on bpc.

so he either got locked in believing his own hype, and is trying to regain his paper profits, or he has bought in on the dip and is off on another p & d again.

think this time he got caught as he was posting very early this morning.

have mentioned to you before, the trick with him if you feel the urge to follow him in is to take a quick profit and walk away imv.

think he also jumped back into rrl recently and that looks major high risk too - that one isn't working out too well for him either.

see you are asking questions over there.

cheers Gerry

August production figures could be the next rns, if they are provided by AST in timely fashion they could be available by 6th Sept.

Only two weeks away, not sure if any more on permits will come out before this data.

Been sitting on the sidelines,did a dummy purchase and its under 12p to buy at the moment, where is the bottom here ?

0.8845p to buy at the moment, that takes the day traders out at the moment with the size of the spread, so its up to those who believe or those throwing a bit more in to get their average down, to stimulate a rise today.

Scullu - yes i read the alba bb when the pied piper was posting.

If he is still posting on bpc either he has been caught this time round, probably not, or more likely, he has joined the bottom feeders who are getting in at 2p ish, for another P & D.

Am off to the gym - will pick up later.

scully - don't know if you followed the story there, ramped daily by the pied piper.

he has so much previous, on many pump and dumps,.

check when he stops posting, and get out - always take great care if he is involved imv.

scully - looks like degsy ( the pied piper ) has lead many on a merry walk at bpc.

check out the rns. not sure what the long term situation will be.

bet he got out weeks ago. a very dangerous poster imv.

will check in later. best of luck with your trades today.

scully - thx for that, will keep an eye on okyo.

got to love the debate on the weald oilers overnight. if there is no rns today at HH, is going to be a bun fight, on the bb's over the bank holiday weekend ! got to love it though for pure entertainment value though.

will check out date for agm here.

temple - it looks like foreign investment is pouring into London commercial property, for full details read the bloomberg report - brexit bound London beats global rivals to lure real estate cash.

based on a report by knight frank - overseas investors spent £6.5bn in the six months to june 2018.

position has been boosted by sustained demand for office space and relative scarcity of supply. London's strong employment market, a surge in leasing by flexible office operators, and nervous property developers postponing new construction have all contributed.

the weaker pound has made has been making London a bargain compared to other cities in Europe, much of the money is coming in from Asia the report states.

perhaps the timing of RDI's move into London office letting may turn out to be an excellent decision.

it will be interesting to read the year end financials to 31st Aug, out Oct, fir a clearer picture.

Hi scully - just picked up your post, I think I mentioned I have circa 90% of my portfolio in long term income and growth shares. So look to p!ay with the other 10% in aim.

I lookfor opportunities, but in general I am aiming to be in and out for say £1k profit on a trade. But honestly if it does not seem to be going my way I get out as there is always another day.

Over on ast there was always likely to be a quiet period and I thought quite a few would take profits at Thurs Eve close. and that looks like the right call, as it's 0.9p to get those shares back again. It could go either way but I see it drifting to the July price for 0.78p until news comes. Will lookfor any 10% days.

Missed QTL for the div but may get in if it slips to 1.35 but think it's probably unlikely. I had held OML for quite a few years, but sold out and moved it across to HIK a while back. Now out of that at 1810p but maybe a little early, often the way with me, always the hardest decision as to when to cash in in a major rise.

If news doesn't come soon at HH think many wealders are going to burst a blood vessel, be good to put both sides of the debate to bed on the Portland. Still many day trades to come throughout the testing though.

With okyo what are your time frames for this to pop ?

All the best.

Gerry

that's 4 red days in a row, only a small slippage today, though there were opportunities to sell at close to or just above 0.9p during the day.

the spread has stretched out again to 12.50%. probably a bit less in reality.

without news the sp seems to be drifting downwards towards the 0.78p level, which is where it seemed to flat line through July, prior to the "armageddon" rns followed by the "hope is alive" rns, a few days later.

you pays your money - you takes your chance. - stick, buy or sell

gla.

Interesting day

people seem to be buying at sub 0.9p.

then sells come in at 0.9p +

at least the spread is down a bit today 5% ish

scully - just catching up on posts last night. re your question over on the other board, i keep trading on aim shares simple. no shorts or spreadbets or similar stuff.

i have about 10 on my radar where i feel i have researched them fully, and purely buy on dips and falls in sentiment, and look for 10% , if i can find it. i don't like holding for too long, if i can help it. sp spreads often make it challenging.

it can takes and months on some of these bb's to understand the interaction between lth's and those looking for a dip. often when news is awaited and is delayed, sentiment can turn and long term posters seem to get defensive or perhaps nervous. then i tend to test resolve with a couple of challenging posts, to gauge reaction.

so nothing complicated for me. i don't ramp, as when things get bullish everyone gets on the band wagon, and its job done. on a number of occasions, i have jumped ship with a small gain only to see a sp continue onwards and upwards, and in those circumstances others may well do better than me. but if they hold too long then often they give back their gains, which is frustrating.

on the other bb, it may come good with all falling into place, and people could get their money back, or make a bag. i'd rather trade on the dips, also i may be unfortunate, and be holding at the time news drops, which would be an extra bonus lol.

looking at okyo, its just too early fir me to speculate, i have not done enough research, i know you are bullish, i am watching from the sidelines, to gain more of an understanding. it could pop any time i guess.

i tend to like those long term exploration co's, like the weald oilers. - always news, always speculation, so many different views, and options as to which horse to back. often disappointments on the way, but always more opportunities to day trade.

only a bit of a hobby on aim with me. i am retired with a pension, and 90 -95% of my portfolio, in boring ftse, growth and dividend shares.

imust get ready for the gym so i'll look in later.

jester - 5 trades in this one for me now. 4 up and 1 down - well up overall and love this share.

over the weekend i suggested sentiment had turned - and it was going to drop back to the 0.7p - 0.8p range, where it was before the two rns and the conference call.

i suggested those who bought at the 1.17p level last week had pushed the boat out. someone actually claimed to have paid 1.25p.

now three red days in a row and the bid is down to 0.85p, i am not going to say sorry for being right, over the weekend, and i know it dies not fit your agenda, but that's truely not my problem is it.

i have made no bones about trading this one and i'll hope to get back in if i feel sentiment changes.if it doesn't, i'll buy elsewhere.

if you had listened to me instead of sulking over the weekend you could have sold out and bought in 20% cheaper - but hey ho.

or maybe you think buying in at 1.2p is better for your bank balance than buying at 0.9p tomorrow morning !

will look in again tomorrow to catch up.

gla.

I see you can buy in at just sub 0.9p, now.

Looks like three red days in a row coming up.

Those buys at 1.2p on Friday look a little expensive at the moment.
