jamesjohn - yes it does take differing views.

t looks to me that the bull rise petered out at 1.2p to buy, yesterday morning, which is 3x the level paid by those that bought in at 0.4p and still hold.

since then its drifted back.so some gains have been given back.

there have been some blue sky prices quoted for a buy out,but CH has placed all his cards on the table if the co. can stretch things out a bit, and revenues from pg 10 don't drop even further it may make it till xmas.

i suspect AST is running on fumes so it may be earlier than that. heavens knows where AST would be without the £1.5m placing last oct, i dread to think.

the result of that placing was that shareholders locked CH out of another raise of funds, as things stand.

i don't see why any possible suitor would be in any rush to buy.

the year high sp falls dramatically from end oct onwards.

don't see that CH has any more cards to play. he needs the permits and then has to see if an offer is made.

this is not a three bed semi on homes under the hammer. i would not be expecting loads of offers, in tbe end zCH may be left with hobson's choice.

if no news next week, i see red days.

btw would you buy more at 1.2p ?

Monarch / Carefreecarry -

Just seen both your replies and clearly neither of you would buy more at 1.2p

Just as i suspected. But I'm guessing you will hope others will, to improve your own positions.

Let's see where the sp goes on no news next week - it will drift imo.

Wonder if anyone on here feel 1.2p + is a good price - deffo needs to be someone with a more positive view than you two guys.

GLA.

stockdale - would you buy more at 1.2p + next week with no further news ?

guess you hope others will - why wouldn't you.

am off out for a while, got stuff to do.

enjoyed this mornings debate, will look in later to see if there have been any cogent replies to points i have raised.

gla

carefreecarry - would you pay 1.2p + to buy next week without any additional news ?

aim is all about sentiment in tbese situations.

jester, did my quick in and out trade on the back of scully's ramping last week, and very grateful to him for all his time and effort, keep up buddy lol.

monarch - check my history.

have traded AST in the past.

did an in and out trade last week on the back of scully's 400+ ramps.

said yesterday i would not wish to be in over the weekend.

if there is no news next week i would expect that many who have paid over 1p this week to be quite nervous.

not sure personally if i'd buy in again, it would depend on timing , sentiment, news and how close to the cliff edge this one gets.

would you pay 1.2p + next week without news ?

think sentiment had turned in terms of risk reward hete.

though that won't stop rampers encouraging, others to buy in the hope of improving their personal position.

monarch - scully has filtered me rather than debate the issues i have raised, maybe you would like to help him out.

btw have never filtered anyone ever. take on board all thoughts and views, it creates viewpoint.

still - scully, there is a saying "i n the land of the blind the one eyed man is king" !

scully - more abuse !

you are coming across as very rattled.

please go through the issues i have raised and correct me where you see fit, if you are able.

look forward to a full and frank debate.

jamesjohn - i wasn't disagreeing with your post, just a follow up from me, looking to see matters through the eyes of any possible suitor.

monarch - no need to swear, don't get stressy buddy.

feel free to provide cogent replies to my concerns - seems scully is unable to do so.

god where would AST be without the £1m placing in oct 2017 - oh forgot CH squeezed out an extra £500k - so £1.5m.

its that money that has kept the lights on for so long - that's the reality isn't fella.

if you don't like my posts feel free to filter me.

jamesjohn - AST have been waiting over 12 months for the permit to re stimulate, not that it would be able to go back into both wells, as it just does not have the funds and it had reached point critical both in financial and operational terms.

any company looking at a take over would need to understand why these permits take so long, as the asset in the ground needs multi wells to be economic.

rns info on what is behind the delays has not been forthcoming.

is it CH and the bods incompetence, or just that ARSO work extremely slowly, or is there another reason.

any new company looking to get involved will need to understand the true reasons.

no new company would want to be waiting similar timeframes for future permits.

scully - just read your reply to kelsbells to his concerns just the usual de ramper statement.no response you his views.

in my experience on aim more people lose more money listening to over the top ramping, as opposed to those with a more bearish view.

i recall a number of prolific rampers on other bb's getting absolutely slated when their blue sky thinking did not become reality, and people lost money following their posts.

several have never returned to post again - AST is operating 2 wells one pretty much out of action, the other producing reduced revenues month on month since April.

revenues don't cover costs, even with drastic actions the lights go out by xmas,

even with re stimulation permit AST had no money to go back to attempt to resolve matters.

shareholders have closed down funding by placements.

any company taking a look at AST will look to pay bottom dollar - CH has blinked first here. clueless - or desperate imv.

scully - you may not like what you read - but that's not my problem is it ?

made my position clear on this one, took a sneaky little buy and sell last week - pretty much based on your - what was it 400+ ramping posts.

got out with a nice little profit. whilst you were spending most of your time yesterday defending your buy decision on your pharma share bb, sentiment here was weakening.

the sp rise stalled at say 1.2p to buy, as people are seeing the real risk reward here as too high at that price.

its now dropped back with the bid down to 1.05p.

rather than asking me not to ask questions today - why don't you provide cogent replies. or alternatively filter me.

Durham - regrettably a moot point, as explained by obone's reply.

by NOV highest 12 month sp will be 1.5p and falling day by day.

think the armageddon rns has played into any possible buyers hands.

no rush to buy - as day by day AST's position becomes ever more precarious.

CH - clueless.

timpson - you mention the highest sp over 12 months for a t/ o at 2.68p.

however this falls to 1.5p if the permits were delayed and we reach nov. say another 8 / 9 weeks !!

now due to the aug 6th rns all parties have been made aware that in addition to the operational problems with both wells which any suitor was probably already aware. they have also been made aware that AST is now running on fumes.

only necessary maintenance works to be maintained, CH on half pay etc, and even with these drastic actions the lights will go out by xmas.

why would any company considering a buy out want to pay more than necessary ? the longer no offer is made the more challenging and precarious becomes the bod's position. any company looking at a possible t/o should sit and wait.

CH has shown his hand here, his cards are face up on the table, not a good poker player imv.

gla.

Scully, i can send you some tomato sauce to sweeten the taste, think its going to be a tough chew !

Bradis - the bid needs to hold above 1p, other wise there will be some nervous buyers from late yesterday and today.

someone bought 1866295 shares @ 1.23p this morning, for £22955, could be down a few quid if there's no late afternoon rally into the close.

I sold yesterday - would only day trade this at the moment, not sure i would want to be in over the weekend.

Those in are likely going to have to defend, their position on Sat & Sun, from those that are not convinced.

Always the way in aim.

GLA.

An unfortunate series of events for KAZ.

The Baimskaya buy in followed by President Trumps antics.

Brokers, downgrading. ( however they always have an agenda )

Am looking to buy on the dip - but not yet, feel there may be more pain to come -imv

GLA.

I have traded this one a few times in the past and did a cheeky in and out from 0.82p - 1.1p this week.

Am wondering who was / is buying at circa 1.2p.

Surely not the guys that got in at say 0.4p, diluting a 3 bag.

Neither imv would it be those LTH's locked in at over 2p - would have thought they would have got in at sub 1p if they were trying to reduce their average - have had plenty of time.

At 1.2p new buyers are paying 3x those who got in at 0.4p - seems strange to wait this long, and to get a bag the sp would need to reach 2.4p.

Am genuinely interested, to me with these aim shares sentiment plays a huge part, i just wonder at what level will people see the buy in price as too hot.

AST will need early positive news on the permits to continue the upward trend, imo. If there is no news today and say for the whole of next week i can see a little slippage here.

Anyway am off to he gym, will look in later.

GLA.

arsenal 17 - not even in disguise in truth - last call is just unable to change his posting style, or his number of daily posts.

straight back into his two favourite bb's, using teletubbies as his new posting name.

mick b on lloy suggested his previously suspended names also.

have no prob with his stance, on any shares, we all have different views, however continued posting by the minute, must switch people off, not sure he had worked that out yet.

the same can of course be said about nervous rampers on some aim shares trying to hard to achieve the opposite effect.

oh happy days.
