Listen to our latest Investing Matters Podcast episode 'Uncovering opportunities with investment trusts' with The AIC's Richard Stone here.
Itsyou i've been looking back at your posts. On the 20th May you posted this:
Thanks Trek,
I've got a lot of making up to do, having been a very early GGP holder. I'm too embarrassed to show what I sold them for!!! :-(
Deja Vu?
Smont my thinking was the selling of placement shares would have held the sp back after the release of good news. If they have finished selling before the news then the sp is free to rise.
However seems 'itsyou' has torpedoed my assumption it was the placing shares being sold by owning up to being the seller.
A good late buy of 140k shares and when today's RNS is digested more buyers should be along tomorrow. GLA.
Never heard of forward selling of placement shares? Anyway some LTH's here have made a fortune here, sold and disappeared and good luck to them. AIM is mostly hoping to find a wave to ride and knowing when to get off. The smart ones have jumped off and swum to shore.
Remember PYC a few years ago? Wow the wildest ride of the lot based on next to nothing. Sar still and always been about speculation and no as yet hard facts.
No, what Manro is really saying is 'I expected the EL to be announced in an RNS today and was so sad and disappointed when it didn't arrive that i'm going to character assassinate MB and throw all my toys out the pram'.
They have to release sp sensitive information by law. The demerger is not a definite so i don't see how they could possibly withhold testing results. Not sure why they would even want to do that.
Some of the big trades are simply ISA transfers. The others are unfathomable as to whether they are sells or buys. As the sp is not moving much either way then probably a mixture of both.
Thanks Quadrum. Yes a lot has changed here since i last came this way except the sp lol. If my memory serves me correct then the sp was around 12p all those years ago. I'm back in IRR as well and that is another slow burner. But i like the fundamentals here and there and can see a rerate coming for both.
AIM is like surfing, Timing is key and finding the right wave to ride forward on. GLA.
Not been in Mafl for years but bought in today. It was always undervalued it seems. Anyway the prospects look good going forward. All my AIM shares have or have had an annoying seller at some point. What is suspect about it? Deliberately keeping the sp down for what reason? Normally they clear eventually and the sp rises nicely.
Some very large trades the last few days, so difficult to know if they are sells or buys as they are all around the 19p level. This was always a strange share to apply logic to on a daily trading basis. All i know is when it rises it rockets!
Would prefer it if you acted like an adult.
