Well, an ambition achieved - copped another 500k for under .2p today and took holding to 5M, so I'm ready...

...other things at play?

I'm not entirely convinced by the underlying argument being proposed. The idea of blaming elements of CIZ or its counterparts for an abysmal SP seems far too easy and a bit of a distraction. One of things that bothers me tremendously as an AIM investor is just what is being "recorded" about us as a group. I would hazard a guess that many, possibly most, of us have an average buy value of say 1.85p in this share, So, as an MM, you will want to make sure that the SP gets nowhere near that figure, because you _know_ that the current belief _will_ trigger a selling spree. Agreed?

Having said that, how far did the SP actually rise today? In your humble opinion, was it worthy of the mostly good news in the RNS? The idea that CIZ is somehow manipulating us, regardless of whether we believe in their technology, is to me, a bit far-fetched. Yes, you can try to argue that the company has no regard for its shareholders, but I think we have as AIM investors, a hidden system employed by MMs that is only designed to make us poorer rather than richer, no matter how much we believe in the technology. There's something at work that we're blissfully unaware of!

While all of us are here to potentially earn money from "wise" investing, it seems to me that those days are long gone. There are information streams that are clearly biased against us and our best interests, without us being aware of them. For me, the AIM market has nowhere near the potential it should have! Cutting my losses seems to be the only option.

...then my buy appears as a sell

Oopz - until just past 13:00 hours - dunno about the remainder. Damn, I thought I'd done well ;)

...and I bought the cheapest of the lot!

What's pathetic is the inability to correctly record buys and sells - where's AI when you need it?.

ALL of today's transaction have been buys!

String-length conundrum, as ever: shortly...

I've been wondering about the recent trades, thinking that many sells are probably buys. So it proves, my buy is showing as a sell - considering how reluctant I am to sell, it is a bit peeving! I believed the sub-2p days would long be over, but I'll keep amassing while I can keep my average below 2p...

Well, I took a chance last Friday. Looking at the trading table I did wonder if doing any buying would do much good. Turns out that my top-up purchase was the largest of the day, which didn't do too much to help my nerves. However, I've long-since ignored all the nay-sayers here and so far today I'm up £75 just on Friday's small bargain. I wonder if any more sub-2p chances will turn up - by the time I have more funds I expect it to be way north! This one was unexpected, but it has meant my being able to up my holding by 30%, so I'm happy. Break 1.92p and it's money in the bank. Moral of the story: If you have done your due diligence, then let the nay-sayers go hang.

Could just be the calm ahead of the new tax-year storm. I doubt it'll be 2p or below come close of play on Monday. Of course, the MMs will also be playing their little games. I often wonder if the laxity of AIM falls over into other markets as there doesn't seem to be much to stop any shenanigans from happening lately.

Touch of the James Bond G&T here, but still happy to load up when I can keep below the 2p average. GLA

Another sell scenario could be the passing of a shareholder and their beneficiaries only seeing access to filthy lucre. They're not interested in _why_ the shares were bought, or even the potential. Bird in the hand and all that.

Could it be that the largish holders have had a sniff of a better bargain elsewhere and just can't wait?

I'm not spooked - indeed I'm thrilled that I can add and still keep my average below 2p per share...

...lets me do a cheeky top-up

Isn't it amazing that so many people see, and treat, CIZ as an AIM stock?

Me? I keep cursing that it isn't on the list, so that it can be exempt from IHT!

Yesterday, I achieved my personal goal for this share, so I might now go trawling through what might be interesting on AIM...

Is it no longer the case that if you can only resort to rudimentary Anglo-Saxon, you have already lost the argument?

All this CDT stuff is just a side-show that we don't have much control over. I doubt that we as shareholders will be given much say in the proceedings, though plenty will have an opinion, either way.

With the CIZ SP still at a giveaway price, I'm making the most of this distraction.

I'm more concerned about the lack of news from China - has the BoD been ripped-off?

Apparently, a new RNS is only issued when there is substantial news. Has the recent jaunt out to China returned to the UK? If so, then perhaps the Chinese deal is not as good as hoped. That won't do the SP much good...

Oooer, cut off in my prime...

share price fallen (symbols for less than and equal to) movers and shakers making a mint either way, maybe?
