"2019 has seen the hottest IPO activity in years as investors bet on extremely fast growth and large markets opportunities. Adding on to the 100%-400% gains seen by Beyond Meat (NASDAQ:BYND), Zoom (OTC:ZOOM), PagerDuty (NYSE:PD) and CrowdStrike (OTC:CRWD) following their listings, Fiverr (NYSE:FVRR) closed its first day up 90% on Thursday, while pet e-tailer Chewy (CHWY) upsized its IPO ahead of today's debut. There have been some disappointments as well, like ride-hailing giants Uber (NYSE:UBER) and Lyft (NASDAQ:LYFT), but the Renaissance Capital IPO ETF (NYSEARCA:IPO), a basket of the 60 or so most recent large IPOs, is up 34% this year, more than twice the performance of the S&P 500."

Does ANYTHING make Madonna blush?

In the absence of concrete information over a long period, many of us were seduced by the published, incrementally increasing number of clicks on Yooya, into thinking that it might eventually become a unicorn. Latterly, the casual reference in a Paul Snow interview to it being akin to 'a YouTube' lent further weight to that idea. In retrospect, I think most of us were under a misapprehension as to what Yooya actually did and does, and this has been somewhat clarified by this deal with Regent Pacific; it has certainly brought focus.

Chils is of the 'Pin and Donkey's Tail' school of investing.

In effect we will have a certain percentage of Regent Pacific, and within RP, of Yooya. Exactly what that percentage will be is not clear as yet; RP plan to issue $17.5m in convertable loan notes, as detailed in the article below.
It's all good, but we could really do with a kick up in the more immediate future - Factom, anyone?

Especially when they call it "Breaking News".

Now now, Chils, don't be a tease. Get your wallet out and buy that 100k sat at 6.94, Sooner or later this **** has to run out of shares, and I'll be right behind you when he plonks another 100k on the table.

It's all good:

Somebody please explain, I'm too weary to do so yet again.

What a very odd comment.

seems to be in a death dive, a sea of red day after day. Not a single stock on my watchlist of twenty-odd is up today.

Well, I couldn't stay away from Gassie any longer, so for my sins, I jumped back in with a modest tranche this morning. Sucker for punishment.

I doubt that 73k sell was even today; it didn't knock back the bid at all. My money's on a late reported trade from yesterday or before. Could have been a buy.

Almost makes you wish they'd delist from AIM and relist on NASDAQ, doesn't it? I've sen it happen and the effect can be startling.

"EMMAC announces acquisition of French wellness company. The European cannabinoid wellness market is projected to be worth €1.7bn by 2023. EMMAC is the 2nd medical cannabis investment made by FFWD, and we remain the only company on AIM to be directly invested in medical cannabis."

True spread on IG is a more reasonable 6.65/7.045. The published spread is to deter spreadbetters, CFD etc.
