Irrespective of Global markets movements AIM shares drift on no news, sure they wave about due to the way some traders rely on technical analysis but they only really move on Company specific news. You may notice certain shares tend to move in certain ways related to other shares or markets, you may follow technical analysis but without any company background understanding it is more of a gamble. All the company , related technical and specific markets research shared here is very valuable as it goes someway to lessen the risk on investing without news. If you wait for the RNS before investing then you will get locked out early doors as the MMs look after the big investors first. So do your research and hope to get the timing right when buying or selling, it is the thing apart from insider information that gives you the edge. So research an area of interest, if you find a game changer research the companies in that field deep dive and pick your winners, get your timing right and you win, set a price to sell at a don't get greedy. This will move on news (Murata kit operational, Ioxus outcome, Tesla buyout, positive trading update, new deals, technical gamechanger) until then it will drift. Blog it to death and you risk killing off any positive sentiment.
Alright alright, you have obviously had your nap cut short, don't shout. And you accuse me of ranting and me being too serious, calm down old man. Why are so so hung up in royalty figures you don't understand when you also say they are meaningless because you have worked out from the numbers you don't understand are so low and you also know (at least I hope you know by now) that CAP-XX have bought Murata's production line for a song and their customers worth A$14mmpa (at the last count) to grow direct sales. Did you get the bit "The Board believes that the Acquisition should enable CAP-XX to achieve significant levels of profitability once the production lines have been transferred". I suppose you don't want to hear that.
No not a rant, a fair balanced assessment John. I prefer the truth (historically) or balanced justified arguments (forward looking). You just want to argue. I simply listed some of the only 19 points in your broken record repertoire.
This is why I left this board for a long period, OS comes up with some fabricated story or misrepresents facts to cast doubt on the performance or potential of the company. Disputes the royalties, the sales, the operating model, the tech (although he doesn't understand it or its markets), criticises AK for being a teckkie and not communicating, complains about the R&D rebate, the AVX up front license, anything. Moans about lack of sales, then moans about the Murata deal. Happy to contradict himself, but puts anyone down that contradicts him. Stirs it all up, easy to do because of his style, then accuses those who point out the errors in his posts of rudeness or being rampers or backs off with "it is only money" or some such other excuse. Essentially trashes any constructive sentiment on the board. I should ignore him, but others read this, those that might be keen to invest, so it only seems right to put the correct detail up here. He isn't thick, he is a clever wordsmith, IMO he is exactly what he says he is no professional agenda as such. In fact I could tell you his address. I think he treats this as his personal blog, his own personal debating society which intends to control. Whether he actually has 1.3 mm shares at 6p, I don't give a damn. If he had any clue about investing he would have sold some at >15p and he wouldn't continually try to talk the price down (this is exclusively AKs fault) so that side doesn't add up, Hey Ho its only money. Thought he had improved recently with more mature thinking, not so sure now, maybe he has two writing styles. Treat his posts with caution IMHO.
OS read the RNS from 16th March. "Royalty and license fees of A$0.6 million (2018: A$0.4 million) are up, due to increased activity levels from both Murata and AVX" and " Both product sales and revenue generated from royalties and licenses were significantly up from the previous year.". Then you'll come back with that is in the past it is the future that worries me, last week you were saying that you use the past as a guide so there it is; it should make you happy (google it). Why don't you read the communications when they come out instead of moaning that there aren't any. Why should AK bother to communicate to you if you cant be bothered to read them.
My word TechieMan, working on a bank holiday, you lot must be desperate. 1p by Monday you said didn't you? Are you on the right board? You only ever post about CPX and its retail (private) investors getting shafted yet you don't hold any shares. What is the point? hmmmm, do you think we are all stupid?
Good summary of you past posts OS. Thing is about investing is that you are exactly gambling on the future. So you have to do your research (past, present and a view of the future) then take a punt. I haven't seen anywhere where you can place a bet on the stock price movements in the past, it would be much easier of course. If we only looked back we would still be in caves, might be like that in LA I suppose. If you can't handle looking forward then don't invest.
ISA limit is 20k per tax year. Could be Bed and SIPP though, it does look like a transfer between account one way or another. The very small price difference and the volumes. But something is also needed to explain the big price rise last week.
Well they haven't impacted on the SP which is still 3.07/3.29, they could be bed and something as the price differentials are small and the quantities are the same per share. It could be they were the buys that drove the price up last week (I said at the time the order could be buy everything you can get for 3p, take as long as you need). Or it could be anything. Still it is only money and we wouldn't bet more than we could afford to lose would we.
Looks to me as though the MM have little or no stock, hand to mouth, bid increasing slowly whilst they control buys with NT only.
