If you don't mind me asking, why did you decide to invest in shares when you appear not to know the most basic stuff about share ownership? I know we all have to start somewhere, but a little bit of reading before investing is surely common sense?

Just to repeat, there are 3.25bn SAR shares, so only about 1% traded this morning despite what appears to be high volume. There will always be sellers, they are in so many people's hands. And few, if any, II's at this stage, as has been discussed on here many times. Transfer of share ownership is normal, it's healthy, it just takes longer with SAR because there are so many of them.

aa111 me too, but at my age you'll take anything you can get lol

Ha ha, & I added to it but I haven't sold any either! Had a sell order in but it didn't trigger even though the price went higher. My limit sell has expired now, think I'll just sit & wait for a while now to see where this goes. Could be an interesting ride after all. GL. K.

Yes I know, sorry, I was being very flippant. There's been so much nonsense on here about what we should & shouldn't be selling I was just trying to lighten things up a bit. We've compared notes before & I believe we hold a similar amount, although mine are split between my ISA & SIPP. I'll be more careful in future.

I see you've posted the same message on SNG too ian12, be careful you don't get writer's cRAMP won't you?

No buys or sells visible for any shares on here since 14:23, not just SAR. Come on LSE, sort it out, we want to see the late reported trades!

Potnak changed his mind about top-slicing 15%...??? Lol

Stockwatch on Shares Magazine briefly showed volume as 72 million, now reverted back to 45 m. Same pattern as on previous days with late-reported trades, but this would have to be c. 27 million - surely not??

I guess this is the downside of having 3.25bn shares in circulation. This range-bound situation is the ultimate price we have all paid for regular dilution over the years. Won't matter if we get some good news, and of course without the dilution SAR could have folded, so it's been a price worth paying I suggest.

There's 000's of investors who bought placing shares at 0.60 in June and are showing a 50% profit in less than 2 months - are they idiots for selling? I don't think so. We're all here to make money, and the only way you can crystallise gains is by selling. This share can only truly move forward once those sellers have shifted their stock IMO, so as usual here it's a waiting game.

baserite - I'll make a deal with you. Don't tell me what price I can or can't sell MY shares for, & I won't tell you what to sell yours for - OK?

Terrific update from BLV this morning "Both revenue and operating profit is comfortably ahead of 2019 with net profit in line with management's pre-Covid expectations, as set at the start of the year.". Intends to update on dividend reinstatement in the September report. Nice SP bounce in response.

zac0_4 that's interesting, even though we're coming at this from very different perspectives there's a lot of overlap between our portfolios. I've got BNY Mellon GI and EIB but I've looked at HHI/HDIV as possible income funds. I've got SMIT rather than the L&G tech fund but both do basically the same job. I'm gradually moving from accumulation to income funds in my ISA but my SIPP is still invested in growth shares, AIM dreamers (SAR, PXS), trusts & funds as I don't need to draw it down at this stage. GL. K

OK so it was an uncrossed trade at 0.746 which has fixed the mid-price at close. Don't normally get them on AIM.

Might be a late-reported A trade. It won't affect the spread.

0.80 - 0.81

See the little dip below 0.75 earlier today in the daily chart (above) as the MMs shake out stop losses set by new & even existing investors, hopefully we'll be a little safer now that's out of the way.

zac0_4 it helps explain the logic, but only as it has applied to the last 3 years. If you've only been invested for 3 years, fine, just don't expect to repeat the trick. If you've been invested for longer, why are you only concentrating on the past 3 years? And how does this logic help you decide what to do next? Will FE outperform TW over the next 3 years? You don't know, & neither do I. Your approach seems to be, if FE has done well over the past 3 years, it'll do just as well, or better, over the next 3 years, but there's no guarantee of that (see the Woodford (spit spit) debacle). So my strategy involves diversifying and doing plenty of research in the sure and certain knowledge that events will dictate the future of shares/funds/bonds etc. more than any strategy you & I might have. Seriously though, I wish you all the best, there are so many "experts" around that are happy to tell you how they made their millions and very few who are brave enough to tell it how it is for the rest of us. Good luck. K

Zac0_4 I don't understand your logic I'm afraid. Fundsmith Equity pays a dividend of 1.63% currently, so why would you hold it as part of an investment strategy to provide income? You must be reducing your capital to maintain a decent divi, which is great in the short term whilst the price is going up & the overall return is decent (I'm invested in it, after all), but during periods of bear markets you'll have a double whammy - less units and a lower SP. So then you'll have to draw even more units to keep up? I just take the natural yield from my income investments (my ISA) and keep my growth shares in a SIPP. But then, we've all got our different priorities I guess...
