My thoughts are there is nothing comparable on the AIM market to LVCG.
People don't know how to value it.
They might look at the Mcap and think it's too high for them, totally missing the fact that over 75% of shares are held tightly.
The placing at 65p, coupled with a poor market has taken its toll.
Thankfully today's news that the loan facility will be used hasn't really seen a big negative effect.
I view this as an investment, and have been adding when funds allow.
The only way DC can cash in his 40% holding is to sell this company.
That's his goal. It won't happen this year, but things are moving swiftly.
He hasn't strengthened the BOD for nothing.
I'm happy to hold for much bigger gains.

Ast I believe. Been known to put the boot into this now and again. Well founded criticism?

Now I wonder who had that amount to sell and I wonder where it went?
Rinse and repeat, MRS sold down to oversold territory ready for the pump and dump merchants to load up there.

New NED officially joins tomorrow.

She has also been made a Fellow of the RSA (Royal Society of the Arts).

For those that are unaware, our UK flagship event takes place this week in Birmingham.
Yesterday David Ciclitira announced that all shareholders and their families would receive free entry to the show.
A great gesture, shows he values our support.
Anyone looking to take up this offer needs to email Toni Hodges via the Brick Live website.

I've said it before, I think people are overlooking the education arm of this business.
Stephen Reid is a pioneer that works closely with Microsoft.
This week (Thursday) we have a NED officially join us. She works for Microsoft!
We have State backing in China, not for showing Lego statues, but for education.
Stephen Reid gets 20% of Brick Live Education for his services.
The question remains, how much will Brick Live Education be worth?
The new NED hasn't joined for a tin pot project that's for sure.
AIMO

Great find

This has nothing to do with funding uncertainty.
The Mcap is this low because its a coal exploration company that keeps missing its deadlines for permits.
No permits means no coal. Not even the wet variety.
This was sold down long before their was talk of a placing.
This needs those permits, or a rampy RNS that the market likes.

LeMajor. When the ANN was announced that they were changing the drill the SP dropped steadily during trading hours on ASX. I know because I watched it.
However, when trading opened on AIM we were marked so far down we didn't have the same opportunity to get out.
It's the price we pay for being dual listed.
It's not a criticism, it's an observation of how things have gone here in the past.

Just because you haven't a clue about shares you are not invested in doesn't apply to other people.
Surely if you were thinking about investing this is something you would investigate before taking the plunge?
We have just had an opinion from one poster who thinks it would be difficult to offload here.
I disagree, bourne from many many months here, both in and out.
Also I'm not arguing whether news should land on AIM first or not. I'm simply stating that you can't get out quick enough when news lands on ASX.
The change of drill vertical/horizontal was an example.
Good luck

Don't think offloading this has ever been a problem?
Only once recently I can recall this being NT to sell, and even then someone used that as a ramp.
Agree with 128K, sentiment driven boosted by the LSE crazies, the traders will pile in driving the price up.
Plenty of time to get out, unless DW drops a stinker on ASX, which has happened too often unfortunately.

It's well worth following Stephen Reid on social media.
It's obvious from the amount of travelling he does he is a man in demand, recently addressing a group for Microsoft Education in Canada.
Currently he is lecturing in Seattle.
Those attending his workshops can't speak highly enough of him.
It does seem DC targets the very best people to help build this brand, and Stephen Reid has been brought on board for the education arm of Bricklive.
I think this appointment has been massively overlooked, possibly because many don't understand the work SR does.
Coding is becoming a huge part of children's education.
Did I mention Microsoft? ;)

Happy to see us rise above placing price. Let's hope it holds.
The drop to 55p has been brutal but has provided an opportunity for buyers.
Hopefully the corner has been turned.
Back towards year highs by Xmas would lovely.

I know the family:)

To fully exploit this technology, further funding will be required, however the timing and quantum of any fundraise has not yet been decided.

It's there in black and white!
The problem is getting a placing away under current market conditions.
Consolidation then a raise, a nightmare scenario on AIM at any time, let alone now.
You could argue though that the fundraise issue was purposely slipped into the RNS to drop the price for cheap entry.

This is a coal exploration company (supposedly) which can't explore without permits.
It's priced to fail.
If permits are granted this should see a decent rise.
If it spikes like this time last year (yep a year) don't forget to get out before it's heavily dumped.

Recent sellers have created a huge opportunity for someone to load up sub placing price.

:)

He's probably still looking for his toys.
He threw them out of his pram months ago when it was suggested that if the permit deadline was missed this would tank.
I wonder what the new NED thinks of it all?
Apparently he holds 17 million of these but nobody knows at what price?
This is 50% down since his appointment.
How far will this be forced down before the pump and dumpers pile back in? What trick will they employ next?
0.15p was the last rinse and repeat.
The only positive here is its priced to fail, so hopefully some creditable news should lift it, assuming he can deliver something other than jam.

Must say that is pure genius.
I've just taken a quick look at VRS. Year low 14.5p. Year high 190.5p.
They raised at 18p, a 20% discount at the time.
If this is comparable, like we have been advised, I'm looking forward to tears.
Tears of joy.
