By TOM WINNIFRITH : When Amaroq (AMRQ) moves from the AIM Casino to the main market its market cap means that it will go straight into the FTSE 250 Index which will mean that there may be a bit of buying by Index funds but there will certainly be buying by funds that would not buy shares in a FTSE Small Cap let alone a company on AIM.

The suspension was a result of the company’s voluntary delisting from the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada. Then, following the Canadian delisting, associated German exchanges suspended trading because the primary listing source was removed.

Meanwhile America seems to be trading at equivalent of around £1.00.

What a crazy day.

As per RNS "As previously disclosed, Amaroq has been considering upgrading its London listing to the London Stock Exchange’s Main Market for Listed Securities (the “LSE Main Market”), including a listing in the equity shares (commercial companies) category of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority, and the subsequent cancellation of trading of the Company’s shares on AIM, in order to access further market liquidity and broaden its investor base."

Sage CEO Steve Hare has recently dismissed the idea that AI will destroy their business, calling such fears "theatre," and argued that for complex financial tasks, businesses require trusted, secure, and specialized software rather than general-purpose AI. Sage believes its deep integration into customer workflows provides a strong defensive moat, allowing them to leverage AI to enhance, rather than be replaced by, their services.

Seeking Alpha: “BP Plc (NYSE:BP) ADRs quickly edged higher by 0.5% amid takeover speculation.

There's growing speculation that an American oil company is circling the British oil giant, according to traders, who cited a Betaville "uncooked" alert, which was circulating on Friday.

The latest report comes after Betaville first reported in February that a strategic acquirer had made an informal approach to the outgoing BP Chairman about a possible combination.”

The Transaction is subject to customary conditions, including the receipt of certain customary regulatory approvals, and is expected to close by the first half of calendar year 2026.

See RNS - Certain Directors and Management of the Company have subscribed for, in aggregate, 25,258,678 New Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price representing a total investment of approximately US$321,000.

It’s the market cap that counts. £100 million market cap is around 9p a share.

It is not the amount of shares issued it is the market cap that counts. Current market valuation is £25 million, so returning to a £100 million cap is not outrageous.

There must be some pretty dumb investors out there then if they apply for shares at 1p only to sell them under 1p. Most would have sold last week, some will be tied in for tax advantage, and some will have averaged down.

JH, my stockbroker sent me a form with allocation including my late top up, will know on Monday if they got it wrong. At least I know I will get my original allocation on shares held before then.

Have to admit I was surprised as the Record Date was 20th May, but have applied for over my allotment so will be interesting to see how many I get.

John Henry, I topped up on the 22cnd and was offered the placing on my top up as well as my original holdings. Unless my broker messed up I expect my full entitlement.

If you bought on the 22cnd May you qualify for placing.

As those who participated in the placing know they will be allotted a minimum of 90% of their current holding why would they wait until next week to sell at what some are saying will be lower than 1p when they can sell the equivalent from their current holdings now at a higher price knowing they will be getting them back at the placing price. Or are they that bad with maths.

Biden was never rich until after he left office in 2017. His net worth in Jan 2017 was near zero. In the two years after, Biden made over $16 million on book deals and by public speaking. Now, he is back to earning just a public servant’s salary. He also bought a run-down mansion that was about to be condemned, invested 16 years of work in fixing it up, then sold it at the peak of the real estate boom.

Mitch McConnell is worth about $35 million. Kevin Mccarthy is worth about $30 million.
