No :)

It's way more complicated for the Insurance Companies than just increasing their surrender values. The Status Quo suits them just fine as enough people just let their policies lapse so the Insurer pockets the past premiums and has no further pay-out risk. Then there are the people who accept the Insurers current level of surrender value, again plenty of people don't shop around. Then there is the inertia of these massive organisations, this is probably the main reason that things are unlikely to change any time soon.

He can't disclose added AUM in an interview, that needs an RNS, but he did say that there were deals in the pipeline.

From the RNS: Alpha's ordinary shares of £0.001 each ("Ordinary Shares") will commence trading today on the OTCQB Market under the ticker symbol "ALPGF".

14.30 is the official opening of the OTCQB.

Most of the buying over the last few days has probably been the US brokers getting some stock.

I am at a loss to explain all these little trades. They make absolutely no sense to me.
A more pertinent question is for how long have B. Riley Securities, Inc. (www.brileyfin.com) been loading up in anticipation of the OTCQB listing?

Only by those weird little trades so far though, need some proper buys to make it real :)

Are out in force this morning, 2 minutes of trading and over 80 trades but amounting to less than 700k of shares.

Starbuck911: You show the depth of your knowledge and research done into ALGW by saying it's an AIM company. Would you care to share the size of your holding in ALGW?

LOL. MMs flushed all those little traders out and the SP is now 2.75-2.85 :)

I'd guess that all these little trades are the buyers from 2 days back who have had their stop losses triggered. Given that the SP dropped yesterday when there were more buys than sells, though churn was thin, I wonder if the MMs dropped the price to deliberately flush out all these ridiculous small momentum traders who must be making them a lot of extra work for little pay.

As I mentioned before these are people using Freetrade + momentum algos. Freetrade may be commission free but trading such small number of shares gets you a poor price. A buy trade of the market size (100k shares) is quoted at 2.75 atm.

Stretchum: Do you mean imminently (in that you've heard something) or at some point in the future?

All these small buys are from Freetrade 'customers' using momentum programs to give buy/sell signals. What a complete waste of time, even if it worked, how much can you make on £1 worth of shares?

Yup, 2.95 to buy now.

Remember that ALGW need to have about £100 million in AUM to break-even and we're a long way off that. Once AUM is in the region of £250 million ALGW will be making good profit and will have proved the business model, then we'll be interesting to the BIG BOYS and can expect buy-out interest. This isn't going to happen overnight.

@ 10:20 - Since 10:04, 4 sells total 86k shares, 28 buys 1.2 million. Last 2.60 paid

While I'm loving the increase in sp recently there has been no news released and GS has always been very careful not to let info. leak. Volume of shares traded has been very thin this month though 30th November was 17million. Historically a 'good day' of volume was at least 25 million and a 'VERY good day' over 50 million. Contrary to many on here I do not think that there a only a few shares not in 'sticky' hands so let's not get too carried away. Having said that I believe that ALGW will make shareholders a LOT of money, I wouldn't have bought nearly 5% if I didn't :)

At 10:04 - Buy vol = 1.3 million, Sell vol = 0.3 million. Last 7 trades all buys last 4 at 2.50
