Well it's well over an hour and not much selling coming to light on the shake - the 6.20p 129,266 is almost certainly a buy on the way back up. Looks like support at 6p, which I didn't expect from the charts but may have bounced of fair value of £10m on the mcap, for those who view organisations in that light (that would be "investors", as opposed to "traders")

There was a funny 7p trade pair time stamped at 16:21 yesterday - that got my attention, it could be a continuation of a trade being worked. Often see them, but not so often so far outside the spread for a share that's hardly moved in days. Then of course the shake today - not sure until delayeds are published how the shake did in terms of number of cheap shares scared out of PI hands but it seems to have bounced. Not to forget the 7 MM working this book right now. Don't think I've ever seen it on an AIM smallcap. Why would 7 market makers be squabbling over a fraction of the margins on daily trades here? They wouldn't. (Queue derampers claiming they are dumping shares - but notice that share dumps rarely include tree shakes, and usually do involve an element of pumping the price, not depressing it. Oh, and dumps don't usually involve sending hoards of deramping clowns in either.). Not to mention the money raised at 10p. Once the CEO shenanigans is all forgotten everyone will realise that nothing really changed in the fundamental proposition - departed CEO was in no way a key staffer, and hadn't been in the job that long really. New CEO appointment might help get this back on its way. You never know, the shake down today might be that news leaking...

I should add - it might also be a broker-to-broker transfer or housekeeping, in which case it is neutral in the context of supply/demand. But still interesting as it registers as volume and the volume was high - for APC at least, given its relatively unloved backwater status since the JR days game to a thunderous close.

Agree mid price trade could be either - it's impossible for ANY website to 100% correctly classify every trade as a buy or sell, because the market nor the MM who between them run SEAQ, provide that data. Even if a website could get away with polling the live prices there would still be mistakes when the price moves quickly and anomalies/edge cases. However it looks to me like a worked trade, filled during the day. And since there was only £400k of buys it doesn't look like it was a worked sell pushed on to those buyers - looks more likely a worked buy picking up the shares sold that day, which number slightly more than £480k. The price to buy this morning is still 7p, even for smaller amounts - supporting the likelihood that there wasn't a large sell worked yesterday.

Also that large after-hours trade puts the volume up to the highest in nearly a year, since 31st May

About to get interesting... They spread it out on Friday right on close, which gave them a lever to 'drop' the share price, even though the bid didn't change and the live price to buy fell only slightly. 491k shares were sold during this mini-shake, and I suspect the large mid-price trade after close may be a worked buy to collect the shares sold today for a small mark-up of around 1.5%, which I think the MM will be happy to do for a zero-risk operation.

Think what you like but I called oversold and bought in big at 5.75p so I won't lose any sleep over it with the sp bounced and LTHs accumulating now... a terrible 18 months at APC behind them, now it's Business Time.

Of course I would tell you it's not holders accumulating now - it's shorters closing... But that's just Conspiracy Jimbob lol

Agree the HH holding is unchanged. But there's a bigger picture being drawn here. Rockridge increasing (8.2%), HH holding (16.5%). Between them that's nearly 25% of shares out of the float. Add to that Robert Holt is back with 3%, Hawthorne now has 4%, Assume Roger Robinson family trust still owns 8%, Octopus 7%. Then directors paid for shares with their own cash, and contractor accepted shares in lieu of fees at closing mid-price (no discount). We're looking at around 55% of shares being held by significant holders or BOD and steady accumulation by a range of stakeholders. I'm not predicting major ramp ramp BOOM rockets taking off share price action, but I think whoever is/was selling is largely irrelevant as those shares have found/are finding homes and we could easily get out of this little trap and back over 8p in the coming weeks. And about time too!

Oh yes, not having the most lucid of mornings...

3, cockney? Lse only has 2 lodged in 24 hrs

Let's see - warrants get priced in by the market in a weird way - rather like how the investors were willing to pay 8p/share but the market took us for a long trip under 6p. It's all games to try and force hands. Also 10p has proven to be resistance point so I think it will need growth news to bust that, but I do think it should now hold some gains between here and there once the alight ongoing cash worry dies. The results were good in that regard, but not good enough to put it to bed completely. The increase in accumulation from significant holders is good and the interims might well cement the recovery path - depending what they show, of course. But the omens look good for continued steady recovery IMO.

I'm a bit more bullish - my gut feel is this will lift off the floor once market is convinced more cash is not needed. Once that is established I'm targeting 8-9p, but agree it will likely need news to break 10p as there will be warrant resistance up there.

So this fell back a further 15% on meeting the broker forecast?!

Unicorn tech co - that would be a good thing, now...!

Well - we got the RNS. Nothing groundbreaking but another holder over 3%. Accumulation phase...

Let's see where we are when they find a permanent CEO. Can't help feel this is oversold right now, given the amount raised at 10p last year wasn't insignificant and for those subscribers to have confidence in FBT at 10p to the tune of £3m means something.

Sorry - you never know on here. Had some guys tease me in the past and with hindsight they must have know. I'm just open to anything in this game... But on balance 90% sure it won't be a placing. (head above the parapet now).

Have you deramped on other shares, under a different ID? You sound vaguely familiar, your turn of phrase and gallery of negative catchphrases...

Fred do you know something here, for sure?!
