why is that not illegal? Otherwise they know inside info while trading? ...v risky if only speculative, no?

movement

if MM short, why would selling more and more stock to us lot work??

sell c8k@34.1p, no?

cos c66p too tempting ..still hold 7600 free carry

flattened

at leash

buying

cheap imv ..ok its markets and competitive position in them are not water-tight...BUT ...so cheap rel to cash and net net current assets ..cheap v revenues, past ebit and forecast future ebit (dyor..don't rely on me) ..and management looks decent enough ...

so if previous patterns hold we are due a spurt

what will this retrace to: 41p? ...somehow doubt that retrace will happen that quickly.. ...so 43p cob 22nd? ...but perhaps the markets will gyrate wildly next week? No reason to believe they will, but if they did little ol' vtu would bob around

when it loses taste for stimulus ...we are like drug crazed clubbers at 4am on a sunny June morning resisting the reality of crash/recalibration ...the bright new day beckons..but the transition from drig fuelled gyrations to healthy and fitness will be extraordinarily jolting and perhaps wipe out hordes of the maxed out ...open the windows, and let the sunlight of creative destruction flood in ..either you do it willingly, Janet ...or they will burst open and blind the rabble ...sometime..soon enough

this might soar to £1++ in blink o the eye

pf construction, humility, sizing ...and before that asset allocation/market timing ...active fund management is a mixed bag in my experience..simple maths / ex ante logic dictates that on average they lose..and i am only persuaded by a v few "winners" that they are more than lucky monkeys...so I agree with yr point about pros/PIs comp ..private equity was my focus, and while there are plenty of duffers in PE, the disciplines of company assessment/dd and oversight are much tougher than fund management..not least cos you are stuck with the baby and cannot trade and forget mistakes ...my challenges include the fashion/fickleness of markets, lack of dd and control over management and appreciating the dark arts of chartists etc.. ..but it is all part of the fun learning lol

yet ...the global markets are lapping up the prospect of more and more and more stimulus ..sometime reality will bite, but in the meantime why miss out on trd?? ..tp 50p++

excellent play/timing

how confident are you, Daisan? Do you have some industry/regional insight? ...v difficult for a non expert like me to judge between the relative exploration attractions / merits esp of tiddlers/juniors.. ..at least the developed mining plan supports current valuatio imv

was having dig at folk/generals who talked a brilliant game, but tended to lose and blame ill fortune ...if you trade hundreds of times, the luck element is steadily eliminated to reveal the "Truth"...but even beating the market is not that great when the market performance (AIM) is pants: look at the 20 year history..it is staggeringly bad...as bad as any except those that have been wiped out by catastrophic in country politics (cf Russia 1917 lol) ..what is truly amazing is the appetite of so many PIs to come back again and again to lose money (but in illiquid AIM they are hugely helpful lol)...what do they reckon they know? what do they think their edge is?? ...I worked as a pro investor for years, but am still often wrong footed by management's capacity to obscure in their own interests, by the complexity of markets/competitive position, by random stuff ..what hope for folk who cannot read/understand financials, have never "done" a comprehensive multi week dd/quizzed management etc etc, assessed markets/competitive position or worked up countless valuations ..Jolly irritating pov ...but still salutary for those PIs relentlessly bashing their skulls against the brick wall of reality

again... ..with Hambro interested, trading c tnw, flexibility, experienced/aligned management well placed in market, ntg is such a strong component for a PI's core pf imv ..difficult to ignore ..tp 450 (but unlikely to resist top slicing near £4)

if consistently beating the market...with similar/lower risk profile..are you??
