I'm sure other PAT holders are monitoring other of their investments, so the drop in PAT volumes/interest is not stock specific. I Iook at 7 other similar holdings (4 Aims, 2 Small Caps and one Overseas) and all are seeing a significant drop in volumes with little movement in stock prices, in 2 cases no trading at all this week and nothing to write home about in the others.

Am I bovverrred? Am I Uckf!
I'm enjoying the hot weather in my Pub's garden free of a bloody mask and constant covid chatter trying to back a winner or two.

Mickey1122 it's just another piece of the puzzle, not a particularly important one I grant you but 'goes to' pis sentiment and while it takes me about 5 mins tops I think it's worthwhile to cont the trade nos, it cannot do any harm can it?
