As well as the suspected 1.5p seller the last couple of times there was around 400k shares made available on the shake - I think it's just this time the other PI buyers have given up. Which makes me very hopeful the seller has also run out of shares - because if we run out of support before the resistance goes ---- well doesn't bear thinking about...

I was looking out for that delayed. I very much doubt it's a very large block trade because it wouldn't have bounced so hard. If one of the MM is still short they might be providing the cheap shares as party of an acquisition algorithm to try and close out. When STGR was stuck in a similar trap at 3.25p-4.0p last summer (yes, I still shed a tear about that) it ran a very similar course for a couple of months. Nothing moved it, not news, not buying. The, suddenly out of nowhere it re-rated up above 5p. It was most bizarre, watching buying and news come and go, share price stuck in the rinse. Then out of nowhere it put on 50%. Was either a short closing or some volume play by a trader with serious batting power. I'm hoping we will see similar here, with a spring back to minimum 2.5p, which is why I'm also happy to collect at or under 1.5p.

Live bid has bounced to 1.5p - at volume. Which tells me that some of the other mid-price trades seen after a bounce are probably sells too. Interesting because there are a few interests playing this little bear trap. I'm fairly sure Cantor are after shares - given they are behind these aggressive shakes. Looks like they want to try and knock a few of the other MM off 1.25p on L2. Also there's a genuine seller wanting 1.5p or higher so we need them to finish before we can move. And of course there's a few of us struggling to acquire some under 1.5p The bounce on bid also reinforces that these little dips are shakes at copper bottom - otherwise I would expect the live bid to lag behind the rise in live ask. It looks wide on L2 but not *quite* so wide on live quote.

Is having an effing laugh. Just saw the shake and went to my brokers account wondering if my limit buy for 200k had triggered.... INSUFFICIENT FECKING FUNDS!!! Which is annoying as the price came down at 15:11 when our friends Cantor once again stomped on the Ask, yet there was no delayed sell at 15:11 so whoever got the 300k for 1.49 looks like they got a good deal.

Thought there was a chance of a decent bounce on the mini rally last month, annoying to see Bergen still feeding at the teat...

We are using the shares as collateral as I understand it for the loan. My reading of the RNS is that the Bass shares are our *only* liability for the loan amount, if the shares fall in value and we don't repay the loan *I believe* we don't owe anything else. For the privilege (read interest) we are paying a margin on the SP for the Bass shares, that seamed reasonable when I read it (I'm mobile now and in a rush so can't double check) plus 50% of any upside on the shares. Correct me if I'm wrong but this sounds like a great finance deal for us. As for the buys I had a worked buy order in once and they managed 75k from a total limit of 200k. But I don't want to be buying in small batches with the fees and so I tried a fill-or-kill and that failed. I doubt they are sells - but they might be as never can be sure. More likely a broker is there first and you and I are at the back of the queue...

Noticed this on a few of the bumps that there's a buyer for anything under 1.6p which would make sense because the gap up on any news is likely to be 1.75p on the bid so there's an immediate profit. But nothing to write home about because the buyer is likely to be a trader and contribute to early resistance imo. I've had a 200k FoK order in at 1.5p for a few of the bounces snap up some of the shares and hold them for a bit longer than 1.75p but my order has not been filled each time. Got excited this time when I saw 200k but alas it wasn't mine. Mcap is too low IMO for what they have with Bass. Agree though re the tranches don't help because the paper value of the shares today is only what we have not what we will get. The JV should have helped more than it did because the team now has all the skills and experience both in country and with the sales pipeline, not to mention the technical ability in Shishr Poddar, to get the JV mine up with far more efficiency that the 3 CEOs it took to get Lohorano running. Plus I hear the resource at the JV mine is even better than Lohorano but that is just idle chatter

The Gooee partnership is interesting.

Last one might be a sell. Yes market makers can sell short, I also heard they can take up to 10% short position 'for normal market-making purposes' without even disclosing it under FCA short reporting. As for the trades, the last one at 6.5p might be a sell, but given they opened at 6.25p on the ask then upped that quickly to 6.5p I'd be very surprised if the majority or all of the early trades up to the mid-price trade are not buys. But can never be 100% sure. As for placing yes indeed. I think IoT will be big and the move to wearable technology and connected devices is already under way. Phones acting as remote control for lights etc is already a thing, can buy plug-in 'connected home' switches etc. The idea being many now have our phones or tablets to hand so why not make a lazy generation lazier! Joking aside Google Nest products and the rest are growing and the technology behind it, low power wifi, Bluetooth, LoRA and other stacks are the modules component manufacturers invested in.

OK I should have maybe said 'assume we are still exposed to US' rather than assert absolutely but I can't believe all the US operations have been shuttered as well as no US clients for components. However this is largely moot because the other thing I can't believe is the gap they threw in this morning. However we are exposed there is no way it was worth 15% plus as I said I tried to buy on open at that cheap price but the cheapest shares sold were 6.50p - and they went quickly. Cantor trying a fast one by the looks of it - I got back in because of the contra-indicators I follow made me believe we were close to bottom and this morning only serves to add to my confidence level

They're only selling water and hygiene- minimise energy AFAIK was exposed and presume still is? Plus the defence components I assume (started out in that industry myself) are shipping West. Why would you think we now have no exposure to US market?

Surprise surprise can't buy at this price. This is a total joke. They've shown their hands at least - need shares badly so I'll be holding on to those I have.

Don't half want this low. They stomped on ask at 6.5p very early doors and bumped others off 6.5p bid to hold the low price. Now they've dropped to 6.25p on the ask. Perhaps explains the mixed signals here - I think they might be very short and using the Trump win to shake this right down. I know APC has US exposure but I can't believe a Trump presidency is worth 15% off opening price. What a joke.

Just happened? Test of support? Because it's currently 7.05p to BUY... Didn't go the way I assumed it would but nothing to indicate why they took it down?

What's this guy up to??? Feeling out the MM? And that 300k mid-price, had the live bid risen up that far for a 300k sale? Or dropped for the buy? Questions questions... Guess it's been so quiet here for so long a passing snail seems interesting...

Only the hardcore dug in here. Which is good - quiet share BB = no weak holders left to scare.

Yours might be the 50k reported just after the bell? Meaning the MM let out 110k at 1.50p which would make sense given they reacted to a 100k sell to drop the ask.

I didn't have an order in this time - fully loaded here now. All we need is the next news to drop, preferably on an RTO of another project in - graphite processing would fit nicely :))

The price of the August placing was 8p and it traded happily above that before and after the placing, yet it's now trading below the issue price and close to the depths the sp reached with the previous placing at bargain basement price. I had imagined the disposal would have kick-started the recovery, especially given the placing too should have finally closed the book on an awful chapter in APC history but it seems to have had the opposite affect

Someone's trying to budge it both ways - seller (probably shorter IMO) and buyer. I thought the sale of Water division would have unlocked a higher SP here, is it just taking time to shift the apparent shorters or am I overestimating the overall value of the deal for APC shareholders getting rid of that liability?
