There's a problem with chasing shares that have already had their good news. the time to buy ONDO was when it was at 15p and waiting on news. at 26p... well, it's a bit late. not saying it won't rise further but you've missed out on the 97% rise. most traders will be looking at this now to realise the rise. admittedly, it needed the SALT news to get into the 11s (and i suspect most folk buying to day, who aren't in love with this share will sell if we get to 11 and higher, depending on the interest from the herd).

i would have thought today was exactly NOT the time to sell but if you can see better opportunities elsewhere, go for it! good luck...

That's true... but it still means that he did it to make easy money. i doubt he's selling for 15% on markets opening at 8p... he's a greedy sod so anticipate up to 15p spike... somewhere, sometime... because i'm sure they're not averse to issuing shares to sunday roast or similar for a big ol' pump!

You probably need to stop 'holding for gold' and trading the spikes... there have been many... and many troughs (like this one) to take advantage of.

'course, there's a difficulty in judging the absolute lows... this one could easily fall to 7, esp. with the spread but what will the buy price be? 8p looks fairly easy to make profit on, over the next couple of weeks.

Priced just low enough to make day traders jump in for possible 20% in days...

Different story. i think this is just a personal money grab by BoD and friends as they know there'll be a rise to come... cheap shares to be churned on next big news...

Surely the fact they didn't follow through is the 'statement' needed. what is 'a difference of opinion' if it's not going through with the deal?

Childish comment. just redressing a post saying trades can't take place before an rns.

Shares can be forward sold... OR, if you have existing shares, they can be sold to be replaced by new shares, if the pricing is a appropriate. companies don't nec. wait for an rns before they sell! it's why you get pumps of an sp! (not suggesting that's the case here...just making the point that that IS a mechanism to make money on shares issued)

It's found its level so wait to see when/if interested parties start moving in prior to next news.

Just a fact. while there's no reason not to believe that sales are going well, until Haleon make a 6month announcement or similar, sufficient to prove repeat sales from retail, there's not going to be much to keep the sp buoyant. at least, that's where i think we're at.

i'm gambling on the sp slipping on boredom from holders and seeing better short term opps elsewhere. 'course, been wrong before but...

If they had it would have moved the sp significantly. more likely a worked sell, over time. but doesn't matter as they've been soaked up.

Regardless of the facts, it's likely to make you money on the ramping by the same types who ramped CRTM in its heyday and all the way down through to destruction.

take advantage of any Trump statement about Ukraine and Russia discussions, watch for the rampy talk and wait for the herd to just read the pumps rather than anything to do with the company and trade the bejeezus out of it. if the journey means this gets back to the glorious numbers of old then there'll be ample opportunity to keep trading it over the coming months!

Lots of rounded number trades moving the sp about but confident it'll close over 40 over next 48hours (be nice if it was this afternoon) and, yes, can see 50s into december.

Personally, thought the rns was decent and should see the sp recover to y'day's levels.

no idea why folk decided to sell y'day... a tad pessimistic!

I think there are more than two sellers dropping this, with the results tomorrow! could be a chance for a bounce but guess we'll have to see what the rns says.

50 is just wishful thinking (but i might be wrong)...

I suspect that, regardless of the actuality of the US licence, it'd see a nice move... only have to say 'US' and folk will pile in (hopefully!) for a quick trade... money and Trump would seem to be a catalyst for interest... whether the reality means a good future is moot but it'll definitely be better than where we currently are!

Entirely possible, Lloyd. without confirmation you either believe or you don't. but i doubt anyone has a clue as to the worth of Easysend to GST so impossible to guess how that one goes down. but it's not a trivial deal so...

also, while they might well have more liquid funds, i'd imagine they'll be needing a warchest for what is going to happen over 2025 so be interesting to see whether it IS a cash deal or not. the only way i can think it is what ouwld the Easysend owner prefer... cash or shares and will the shares be rising substantially? it's not nec. going to be just what GST dictate but... will be an interesting rns when it drops!

But if a bounce isn't immediate then it sounds like a longer haul to get back to a decent price... or the next news!

Most times therre's an offer for a company you'll find the sp will rise to that level, pretty much. there were a lot of buys even at 120 with the idea that they were a guaranteed 20%. that it didn't happen is surprising, though with the amount of horse trading suddenly, likely others knew more than pi's about the reality of the offer?

the point being, anyone who has spent any time in AIM and even the lower priced main market shares, is fully aware that 20%+ is easily achievable in hours, never mind weeks. there's no reason for a holder to have to wait years or 12months to see a benefit. in this case, a lot of holders look at the IPO, the Stonex offer and its historical price and are 'comfortable' to wait it out but it's more about not being able to afford the hit rather than the guarantee of a big move in the future. of course it's possible but if it was easy pickings don't you think Stonex would have gone through with their offer? or is that now seen as being overpriced for where we currently are (obviously we cheaper than ever but if the corproates out there were as convinced of the easy return to higher pricing then i'm sure they will materialise in time. but, meanwhile, it's just not comfortable to be in the red and waiting for one's convictions to come good with a view to waiting 12 months to see a profit. if i wanted to wait that long i'd have taken out a cashISA. this was just what should have been an easy bet that didn't come good, for whatever reason. and waiting for an upturn isn't easy when you know there are probably other opps that might come along, with other shares and surprise drops that would make for easier pickings. but it is what it is...
