OK - so when I poured water on the idea that this might be a TO target (maybe with some price manipulation to make the bid when it comes appear more attractive than it otherwise would) you guys are now pointing out that overhead costs alone would bring synergies to a possible buyer. OK, fair point. But my original point was the revenues might not be enough for the likes of Electrocomponents, Premier Farnell or Mouser to take interest. So who?

I guess that all depends on one's view of CTAG...

You could be right - but this time and the last time the live ask had fallen right back on the selling so the price paid is roughly consistent with a standard retail price or a buy worked around that time. Some of the others recently have been anomalous in pricing so as you say some or all could have been b2b

Not so sure it's that simple as there being *just* a seller. The 250k @ 6.25p is almost certainly a buy, given the 5.85p below-par sell dragged the live ask down around that time. Looks like net 120k accumulated so far today. Buying in last part of 2016 pushed the price up, the bid got above 6.25p until that 100k sell at 6.28p put a lid back on a threatened rise. If the impatient seller is still here then someone is taking more than they have to give

I'm telling you they're reading this boart CT

They're just messing with us now - 2-share sell - must read these boards...! Many execution-only brokers won't let a PI put a trade through like that as the proceeds won't cover the trade cost...

By the way Cockneytaff 900 is rumoured to mean 'let it go now' so this should respond to supply & demand if you buy into the MM codes malarkey!

Well I've got this and 3 more of my shares on a list of shares with serious potential to go on a santa claus rally this week or put on gains early in the new year. Of course it's more finger waving than science but even one of the four would make me very happy.

Price to buy is still only mid thought, 6.25p for smaller quantities and live bid didn't shift a bit with that late-reported 10k buy. It's not beyond the realms that the MM might try a shake down next - all but confirming my suspicions about them being off the mark with their positions. As Sahid said below I too am convinced the changes of the last year are a return to profitability and a base to grow on with lighting and IoT having the growth potential

I think it's harder to call than that Sahid. I imagine with 2 placings in a year the MM went very short so they werent holding stock if the price crashed again. Theres a weight of evidence including the massive unwarranted pullback on trump getting elected and the gap down on those results making it likely the MM were betting on further falls. This in addition to the one or two sellers we had would have set a very bearish mode in the collectiin of algorithms which run the market. If there was a 500k share surplus over the last month or so then it might not even have been enough to close up. The MM were reluctant to move up last few days despite the buying - this could just be self protection against P&D but I reckon looking at the patterns they still dont have many if any shares. Just a hunch can never be sure of course .

MM playing poker on the bid - I polled a sell, whist they would take a reasonable quantity they were only offering 6.1p.

Just had a look at the water level data - pumps not recorded as running or not, do we know anything about whether the pumps are running or have they given up trying to pump it out?

We go from a weak bid at 5.5p to a weak bid at 5.75p and suddenly on no visible buying from the front door we have an unexpected small gap up this morning followed by 3v1 on L2. And now a 100k buy - been a while since we've seen chunky buys on APC...

Isn't 22% of MTFB is worth more than the Mcap here - what's the catch?

Thanks. I am looking for a graphite play to invest in - maybe the JV mine depending on which market it floats.

Someone had similar in the chart back at the spring placing then kept pointing out on here (I think) that it had failed to reach a technical low and would fall back. So glad the algorithms got what they wanted this time, maybe it can recover from here. Bet those buying at 8p in the second placing knew what they were getting into and theres value to be had north of that second placing in the coming months. Noticed the derampers came here as the MM were working it down for that 5.5p - with all the well crafted lines, what were they... (1) no clear strategy (2) still had debt troubles and (3) suppliers not getting paid and (4) website not getting updated Lo and behold the annual report and website revamp adressed every concern from supplier payment plans to office concolidation and reduction in lease costs to a very clear strategy across three streams (lighting, components and IoT). Its almost as if there was a plan to talk this down then bounce it back up ;)

Im afraid I'm gone - I was sold on the JV mine becoming primary asset and am not up for a gold explo, I have enough of that exposure already. But that wont stop me bashing the bashers because they never gave Brett and Shishr a chance. They wouldnt listen when I said the resource was not an issue and lo and behold it was not, Bass took it for a song and now theyre saying that was BBs agenda all along. It was not, and if anything its the shorters and bashers that lead directly to that BSM transaction and I'm out for a bit of justice. I hope anyone short here gets their position totally burned and I may trade in anticipation if I am around at the right time with enough cash to hand.

Also being cleansed from LSE is any mention of a share where a 3-year deramper was exposed as a broker, work and home address posted. Vigilante behaviour but if no one in authority is taking action against these knuts then hats off to anyone who exposes professional practices designed to mislead PIs

Well the knb heads have got my original assassination of their posting and detailed rationale behind motives of likely derampers removed. Bottom line is I firmly believe majority if not all MM are massively short here and will have to close before RTO or if not completed in time before suspension as they know the RTO will probably complete and then they will be left with a short position on something they know nothing about and no one wants that. I have nothing but utter contempt for the two faced little oiks and all the below-the-belt practices on AIM and BBs, ramping and deramping.

Did Bergen managed to dispose of 12.7 million shares in one day on such incredibly thin volumes? I expect to see a large block trade possibly delayed by a day or several days. Oh, actually I don't because I smell the usual rat's faeces.
