"why sells a £20 note for a £10, just because you bought it for £5."

Depends on how much it costs you to go to the bank.

Go GRL go!

Sold at 3.42 and bought back at 3.31, gained £235 lol.

Could have bought back at 3.2 but was feeding my baby son.... expensive meal.

It means that you are telling the market you will buy at whatever price anyone wants to sell. If you try to buy and it doesn't offer you a price for you to accept or decline, then if you choose to proceed it will be a negotiated trade

A 100% loss means the price becomes 0p.

On LSE "cheap" just means lower than yesterday's price.

If 80p is such a good price, you should have bought it 2 weeks ago at 80p.

Funny how people always manage to have free money to "top up". If the company is a good investment at 100p why didn't they fill up with all their funds ASAP?

I don't believe that everyone claiming they "top up" has their salary come through just after price drops (on many shares not just ARB).

You know how they say don't set stop losses to prevent the MMs fishing (not sure how much I believe that, but it's still good advice because AIM can see sudden drops)?

Well I had a limit sell at 175p which I set ages ago and it triggered :(

Anyway doesn't matter, a profit is a profit, still have quite a few TILS and my average is now the recent low of 80p.

They do not need to be the same price. Theoretically, on a dual-listed company the valuations of both listings should match on the fundamentals, as long as the voting rights, dividend rights etc are the same, because each share is exposed to the same risk and reward of the business.

But part of the share price is on sentiment. And you cannot convert a TILS share to a TLSA share except by buying and selling on the open market, which means finding a seller and buyer to be the other side of the transaction (via the MMs).

If people sell TILS to buy TLSA en masse, because of the notion that they should be the same, then this would actually cause the price to diverge, as lots of TILS sellers will drive the price down, while lots of TLSA buyers will drive the price up.

If the direction reverses and people sell their TLSA to buy TILS in aggregate, then TLSA will drop and TILS will rise. But the price of both are also affected by buyers and sellers who don't care about trying to arbitrage this.

If it really gets to £20, 20p makes a lot of difference.

£10000 at 150p = 6666 shares
£10000 at 170p = 5882 shares
Difference of 784 shares, at £20 = £15680

Do not use market orders on T212 when the price is changing rapidly, always set limit orders otherwise you will get screwed over. With other brokers when you do a "market order" you get 15 seconds to confirm whether you are happy with the offered price.

Chart looks broadly similar to the COVID effect on S&P500.

Soon will be back to 33p and then onwards to 40p+

Same here. I'm just annoyed that I keep missing opportunities to trade. In September I set a target of 27p to top slice but I missed it. Then dropped to 21p for a while. In December I set a target of 38p which it never quite reached. If I had sold some at 37p instead I could have got 30% more shares for the same amount of money.

The price hasn't changed still 0.3p to sell, very misleading 14% drop. Once the MM raises the ask back to 0.5p it will show a 14% rise.

0.1% of people are in crypto because they are true believers, the rest just want to make more fiat currency. As long as governments want tax payments in their national currency there will be demand for fiat.

Finally freed up some funds to double my holding here. Average now 1.3p hopefully will be in profit soon

Some unquoted companies qualify for Business Property Relief, which exempts the holder's estate from IHT on the value of those shares if held for 2+ years. Shares listed on AIM are considered unquoted. This is separate to having the shares in an ISA, which exempts them from capital gains and income tax during the holder's life.

There is no list of which AIM shares are eligible for BPR. There are companies who can tell you for a fee, but otherwise you have to DYOR. I think that SAR would be eligible, but am not certain.

Sold half at 0.29, nice short-term profit from 0.21.

Win-win now, if it goes up to 1p great, if it goes back to 0.21 I'll buy back.

Spiked at 8.5 on 19 August

Bitcoin is a zero-sum game where people try to get other people to buy them out.

Lol the bid is up to 0.35p now which reduces the spread to 43%.

I am an idiot because I didn't understand this when I was just starting out on AIM.

I got suckered by buying when the mid-point rose by 12% due to the bid rising by 0.1p which I completely misinterpreted. Then I missed the chance to offload at a profit with the Oct RNS because I didn't understand how my broker does limit orders.

Well maybe I'll get lucky and it will spike again sometime this year.
