''i'm not in Truro LTI''

very strange thing to say.

you said -

''yet you were in Truro in Cornwall''

and you know that because?

I am not sure why everything needs spelling out - JS is a compulsive liar. There was as much chance him being in Truro as there was him being in Edinburgh

''The more the volumes fall, the wider the spread will get''

Yes there has been lots of liquidity /volumes whilst the sponsors of scam articles have been selling into the market, with some days large percentages of shares in issue changing hands. Once that dries up the gamblers are then left to trade between themselves and as you said the spread should get wider.

''Looking at the chart''

You can forget about looking at share price graphs in relation to Met1 in the period of shares in issue going from under 50 million to over 800 million unless of course you think that a forward market cap of over £400 million had been taken into consideration by many non clueless investors when they purchased up to about 55p per share.

I would suggest it best to have a reset starting probably at the end of the week when when I would think that the latest batch of new shares are all but are sold off.

''If you haven't already see this, It is the latest RNS from MET1: You might no be able to read it if you're not a member of stockopedia''

This site gives a link to RNS's. the latest being the Issue of Equity & TVR

''Yes, but MET1 is NOT a highly liquid market''

Volume is running into the many millions each day.

I suggest you ask someone with level2 to give you an idea about the level of orders on a trading day.

''And just because SETS can be used to match buyers and sellers, it doesn't mean they always are.''

Trades when they happen are always a match - it is a change of ownership from A to B.

Market makers can also use SETS to place orders

'' You are wrong to suggest it is the only basis for the valuation of a share''

NEVER suggested such a thing but it helps to know the tnav of a loss making business that has never generated revenues or profits.

btw I don't post things twice. whatever the problem has been in the last few months to make duplicate posts has nothing to do with me, It looks like it is less likely to happen on shorter worded posts.

''the AIM market utilizes both SETS and SETSqx depending on the liquidity of the specific securities being traded. ''

''I think on this occasion I trust more the information from those who understand the roles of market makers, which you seem not to.''

As I said - you are a bit obsessed thinking that market makers are taking a speculative position for their own account on Met1 which is the reason you mentioned them in the first place.

Market makers would provide liquidity if required. As I said matching on SETS can bypass market markers if there is enough liquidity.

I suggest you ask someone with level2 to indicate the level of liquidity on the SETS order book during a trading day.

''the fact you have never bought such speculative shares.''

I said I had never bought an Aim stock NOT that I have never bought a more speculative stock .

''LTI was rude and unhelpful''

that is a matter of opinion as to whether stating facts about Met1's tnav, forward market cap (which was over £400 million at one point) , and it's capital raising with subsequent scam articles was helpful or not - obviously you think that facts are unhelpful.

You on the other hand are a lying dumbass.

STILL waiting for my apology

''some others apparently think all the buyers and sellers are automatically matched, which they are clearly not.''

??

shares are exchanged between A and B at a price - in highly liquid shares the SETS system can be used to match buyers and sellers thus bypassing market makers

Onb

''quite unlike the matched trading through SETS which LTI told me authoritatively was the case?''

I have never bought an Aim stock - There is a lot of liquidity in Met1 shares, so there is no reason not to use SETS.

In addition certain brokerages may match orders 'in house' between it's nominee account holders

Onb

''some brokers do offer such a faclity in stocks which THEY hold. Is this not another example of how brokers and market makers can independently hold positions''

you appear a bit obsessed - the vast majority of Met1 is owned by gamblers - it matters not who shareholders are - it doesn't alter any fundamentals.

Met1 should give updates on who the top shareholders are.

Any broker giving a facility to be able to short a share could borrow shares from beneficial owners holdings in their nominee accounts to facilitate such a trade

'' They may also act as market makers. It would make sense to me if they do''

They are not a market maker - percentage of shares that show as them owning them, will have the gamblers as the beneficial owners

Itd

'and some big banks like Goldman Sachs act as market makers.''

I doubt whether big banks would be a market makers for Met1 - more likely someone like Winterflood.

Maybe you could ask someone with level 2 info whether that shows the market maker

''The price is mostly set by the market's supply and demand. Market makers set the bid and ask price and....''

;;...the tree shake''

not getting into any manipulation nonsense

'' the market maker who to some degree, especially in small AIM shares, is calling the shots?''

I very much doubt it - over 800 million shares in issue. It will be the gamblers who own the vast majority of Met1 who will determine the price movements on a daily basis

Onb

just to add - it is clear that the vast majority of Met1 is owned by gamblers.

''Surely SETS is just the trading platform and still enables MMs to build up positions? If not, what DO they do other than function as unnecessary middlemen?''

To make money from the spread and provide liquidity. There is no taking of a large 'position' in Met1 trading for their own account

I mentioned HL because of their large legal shareholding acting as a brokerage for nominee account holders and thus showing as a top shareholder. You won't find a market maker.

''So on any one day the sales info on this site should equal the purchases.''

Every buy is a sale and every sale is a buy.

I have already said how they are flagged.

A trade could go through at 5.2p being a buy followed by 6 trades each at 5p being flagged as sales, followed by a trade at 5.1p flagged as a buy etc etc

''In which case we can work out how many of the 93m warrant shares have been sold''

?? strange - of course you can't

There are more sellers in the market (gamblers) than the shares being got rid of by the scam articles sponsors.

btw there were 750 million warrants in total - a number equating to nearly 90% of shares that will be in issue

Onb

shares will be traded using SETS - Stock Exchange Electronic Trading Service, which is the London Stock Exchange's electronic order book that automatically matches buy and sell orders .

Shares will be traded via brokerages such as Hargreaves Lansdown who will show up on the top shareholder list due to being the legal owner of shares, but with the gamblers the beneficial owners having shares held in a nominee account with HL
